    My AW battery sucks after OS8.5

    I owned a Apple Watch S6 and the battery was “all-day” until I upgraded it to 8.5. I get up in the morning at 7am with the battery fully charged and under light use (not opening alot of apps and less than 20min workout), the watch battery got to 10percent at 6pm. I tried many settings like...

    Apple Watch Battery Replacement for $79 Story

    Hey folks. I just wanted to share my experience getting my wife’s Apple Watch battery replaced from Apple. With Apple either slowing down adding new features or just not being able to add many new features like new sensors, its never been a better time to keep your watches longer. My wife’s...

    Renaming an Apple Watch Face

    I was on another thread that addressed this issue, but it seems to have gone dead. I'm starting a new thread here. First off, I'm an IT Professional who started in IT 48 years ago before Apple and Microsoft even existed (yeah, I'm dating myself ;)). It's just in-comprehensible that Apple...
