    Resolved Apple Watch power reserve mode

    I have simple question for you, people. In power saving mode of AW, why is there like a 2 second long lag between pressing the crown and time display? I hate the lag. Is it intentional by Apple to force users to use regular mode?

    Buy an S7 or wait for the S8

    Hi everyone, I had resisted buying an Apple Watch for years (thought they were a gimmick, use a Garmin for running and a mechanical watch during the day) but I recently tried a friend's Series 7 and was amazed at the haptics and the useful extension of my favorite apps from my phone. I want to...

    Anyone with a Titanium Apple Watch?

    Hi everyone, I have a Titanium S5 and wondered what straps does everyone use with their titanium model? I didn't get the light grey band (which I won't, but it's impossible to find). I am using a Pearl Woven Nylon band and it looks pretty good. I will post a photo shortly. Thanks for reading

    Can you use an Apple Watch only with an iPad with iPad OS 16?

    with iPad OS 16 the iPad gained the Fitness app so can it now support an Apple Watch? I am currently on an android phone, an iPad Air 4 and a 2021 16" MBP. I barely use my smartphone for anything smart, so I just can't justify spending iPad money on a phone I won't use. traditionally this meant...

    I’ve owned my Series 5 Nike Sport Apple Watch since it launched a couple of years ago and it was a big reason for my getting healthy during the pandemic. But there are two things that are now making me look at upgrading to a Garmin Epix 2 Sapphire watch. One is of course the battery life. I...

    I noticed if the Weather app on the iPhone is set to the current location, and a weather complication is set on the watch, location services is constantly on the iPhone, which causes the iPhone to always be warm (obviously some battery drain as well). I had a Series 2 AW, and the fix was to add...
