    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!

    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
