    AW keeps rebooting or gets stuck in a boot loop

    So I woke up to my AW6 stuck on the Apple Logo. It had updated to the latest WatchOS version 8.7 a few days ago and was fine until this morning. I tried turning it off & on but it just kept getting stuck. Then I found a trick on the internet to ping it from the Find My app and that seemed to...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max Buying an iPhone 13 2 days before iPhone 14 is launched

    So, long story short. I will be in the US on a layover on September 4th for 12 hours. I really need to upgrade my phone and was also planning to get an Apple Watch. My current phone is a Samsung A5.. very old, almost doesn't work. In my mind my idea was to get the iPhone 13 Pro Max... but I...

    I regret buying the Green S7

    I love the S7 AW. It's amazing, but I really shouldn't have committed to the green color. I've owned it for about 6 or 7 months and after the first few weeks I was over the color. The Midnight or even blue look so much better and I feel like they're easier to color coordinate bands with. The...

    Skin issue/burn on wrist from Apple Watch 7

    I recently noticed by wrist feeling uncomfortable while I was watching TV on the couch and immediately took it off and noticed a circular red sore area which, over the next 24 hours, had some mild scabbing. It is sensitive to touch but not itchy. Anyone had an experience like this? It's an...

    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

    Calendar notifications makes sound but no vibrations?

    I've been using the Fantastical app for calendar, but recently want to switch back to the built-in calendar app. However, I noticed that the event notifications does not vibrate - it shows up and produces a sound, but no vibrations either on my iphone or apple watch. I've checked the settings in...

    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...

    AW3 - No WatchOS9 support

    Hi everyone, I am shocked that the AW3 is not WatchOS9 support. Its still for sale as well. Must be an Apple first to do that. What do you guys think?

    I’ve loved my Series 5 AW since it launched, but I’m upgrading to Garmin Epix 2…

    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...

    Why can’t the Apple Watch forward email?

    So this is a very simple question that I hope has a simple answer. Why can’t my Apple Watch forward emails? I’ve tried several email services other than Apple Mail including Outlook, Spark, Airmail but none of them have the option to forward Mail. This is quite frustrating as I use Apple...

    Hello - have any Hermès Apple Watch owners ever used an app to sample the actual RGB and/or HEX color of the orange face numerals? Online, photos show the color to be anywhere from bright tangerine to a pale pinkish-orange. I've heard that the Hermès orange color used for the face numerals is...
