    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...

    Input options in watch

    I am new to Apple watch and find that using the Portuguese language only have dictation input. Is this intended behaviour? I find it awkward to talk to the watch to send a message. Shouldn't it have a qwerty keyboard (I have series 7 45mm)? Thanks in advance!

    When WatchOS 8 came out, it included a feature that would announce workout information to my watch or to my AirPods Pro, if I were wearing them. I always get an announcement but rarely do I get the announcements through my AirPods Pro. I have looked at multiple settings and I cannot get it to...

    Daughter’s AW3 aluminum shows lots of glass scratches - would 7 be more resistant?

    I don’t mean scratches on the case, nor am I comparing the glass to sapphire; I can’t find anything that speaks to improvements in the glass material on one series to another beyond Ion vs Ion-X. TIA
