    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

    Apple playing with colours for AW and bands, making grayscale colours extinct

    I do not care having a wide range of colour availability and it is great. However, they MUST KEEP GRAYSCALE COLOURS available for any of their product lineup no matter what. In current AW lineup for aluminum, they went with midnight blue ( it looks almost black in person which is good, but...

    Charge speed very slow over 80% on my AW 7

    Hi, I am having what I think is an issue with my AW 7 (aluminium midnight). With the new puck thing, it charges pretty much quickly until it gets to 80%. From there, it slows down ... to a degree that it won't get to 100% at all, ever ! I tried with an "old" model of puck thing, and it worked...

    How to create Notes with the Apple Watch keyboard (a workaround)

    Series 7 comes with a great mini keyboard, but no Apple Notes app (yet!). So here's a work-around I've found to take notes on your Series 7 using the keyboard: Make a Siri shortcut that either: • Creates a new reminder in a "Watch notes" folder in the Reminders app • Creates a new email to...
