    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!

    Can't Get AirPods Pro To Announce Workout Notifications

    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...

    When exercising with the  watch while playing music, my AirPods disconnect as soon as the watch notifies me of something like "you hit one mile" or "exercise ring closed." I have to reselect the AirPods from control center and press play again on the music, not an easy thing to do while...

    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

    Hi, After placing a pre-order on the 8th for a midnight aluminium series 7 and getting it the 15th, I decided to return it because of some issue with the charging time.

    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...
