    Apple Watch Ultra Side Button Clicking Noise

    I just purchased an Apple Watch Ultra today and the "side button" underneath the crown has a fairly noticeable clicking sound. The button feels and acts as it should, it just has an audible clicking sound that's louder than my old Series 4. Does anyone else that owns the Ultra notice this...

    Display turns off when putting on AW

    When I take my AW6 off the charger, the display turns on. When I put it on my wrist, the display turns off. Take it off again, display turns back on. Back on the wrist, display turns back off. Display still works when I touch it. It's like theatre mode is on, but it's not enabled... AOD is...

    Is This Real??

    Saw this on eBay and it was listed as 'Apple Cleaning Cloth Watch - RARE Navy Microfibre Cloth - Never Sold to Public' and was curious to see if it were real as I have certainly never heard of it and searches came up with nothing?? Thanks!

    Verizon Smart Watch discount

    Just a heads up if you haven't seen it already, but Verizon has a discount for smart watches. If you use the code SMARTWATCH150 it takes $150 off whichever model you choose. I went with the Ultra but great deal. I don't see an expiration date so check it out if you're on the fence. Enjoy.

    Sorry but I find the Apple Watch Ultra absolutely ghastly

    Having looked at most peoples photos of their new watches, I’m happy you’re all liking them but I think the majority won’t. Wearing a 49mm watch in this day and age is ABSURD unless you’re in the SAS or completely ripped and your arms are massive. Right now I’m seeing these watches just...

    Is there going to be an AW Ultra-Small? Speculations and wishful thinking

    Speaking as a lady with tiny wrist (140 mm). The Ultra has some of the things I've been dreaming about for years for an Apple Watch (longer battery life, a noticeable change of design). Now the AW Ultra comes out, but it only exists in a unique size - a very BIG Size. Do you think Apple is ever...

    iPhone stolen on different continent, how to change timezone in Apple Watch when home?

    So my father’s iPhone got stolen on his last day of vacation while in south America. At the time he was travelling to the city where the airport was located and there was no way to delay the flight/rebook. He now sent me a message from one of his stops on the trip home wondering how to change...

    Technically speaking, why can’t the Apple Watch measure blood pressure?

    Hi, I was looking at the specs of the newer galaxy watches and I noticed that they support blood pressure monitoring. I didn’t see that much of a technical difference between that watch and the Apple Watch in terms of the sensors, so I was wondering why doesn’t the Apple Watch support blood...

    Verizon AW S8 BOGO 50% off (up to $250) somehow stacked $150 off

    Sad story, recently lost my AW S7 in the Atlantic. :( Still owe $350 or so. Wearing my old S5 I never sold so at least I got that going for me. It's also my wife's turn for an upgrade of her S6 Red with a deep scratch in the face. Checking the Verizon site I see they are offering 50% off if...

    Apple Watch Ultra with Existing Bands (Gallery)

    Now that we know the 44/45mm bands will work with the Apple Watch Ultra. I photoshopped a lot of Apples existing bands with the Ultra so we can all get an idea of how they will look on our wrists! See Gallery Below!

    Solo bands size question

    Does anything changed in regards to Apples Solo bands size guide on the website and the size itself since the initial launch? Is it still advice to pick one size lower than the one from measuring guide (like with the AW6 release a lot of people had to)? especially that AW 7/8 is longer by 1mm...

    watchOS 8.7 phone handoff bug (keypad not responsive)

    I've gone through Apple support without resolution and was wondering if anyone else could test or is encountering this issue. I never experienced this until the most recent (or the last couple of OS updates - not sure exactly when this started, but it was recently). I have Apple Watch SE...

    Which Apple Watch would you buy given the discounts?

    Looking to buy an Apple Watch. Generally I wait til the new one is released, but it just doesn’t sound like the series 8 will have many updates and I was thinking I’d rather have the available discounts. Plus, my series 4 broke and I don’t want to wait the month+ to upgrade. I thought it would...

    Assistive Touch - Remove Highlight?

    Although I don't need to use Assistive Touch for impairment reasons, I think it could still be a pretty cool feature to use anyway. But the reason I do not use it is that it always highlights the complication with a blue outline when you raise your wrist...which I don't need or want. I have...
