    1,000 day streak on my Apple Watch - what’s the highest you’ve made? Looking for a new target!

    Been hitting my goal since Jan 1st 2021 and just hit 1,000 day streak. I haven’t hit all the monthly challenges (26/31) but it’s looking good to hit them all in 2023 so far which is my next goal. What’s your highest streak? I think I’m going to struggle to keep motivated now…

    Hi folks, just wondering if anyone has seen this issue before. A good friend of mine has had a Watch for years and we've recently discovered his workout data history in the Fitness app on his phone keeps getting wiped randomly, between every few days to every week or two. He's done hundreds of...

    iOS 16.2 and Workout Focus Turns Itself Off

    I have my iPhone set up sot that my Fitness focus mode is enabled when I start a workout. This was worked well for about a year now. However, starting with what I believe was iOS 16.2 and watchOS 9.2, that option will sometimes turn itself off. I have to go back into the Fitness Focus mode and...

    Apple Watch Ultra - Heart Rate during runs does not work - spikes and stays high

    I bought the Apple Watch ultra for fitness and specifically running. The heart rate during rest appears to be fine. However, every time I go for a run it will spike to say 170 and stay there for the duration of the run. I tried unpairing, resetting, making sure settings were correct, and the...

    Workout creates splits by itself?

    I cannot figure this out and hope someone can help. I take a daily walk and tell my watch 7 so. Recently IT started adding 'splits' to my walk (not me!). At random moments the screen shows split 1 or split 2. I am not sure what to do so I just click the side crown button to make it go away. I...

    Edit or Remove Blue Stand Ring?

    OK, I fear this isn't possible, but I'll ask just in case... Is it possible to edit the stand ring goals? I simply never close that ring because I will not stand up for a minute every hour. I research and write, and often work in blocks of 3-4 hours straight. When I am in the zone, concentrated...

    Walking split notifications

    I’ve just updated my Apple Watch 5 to the latest v9.0 and have it paired to my AirPods Pro’s. This morning I did my usual walk and instead of saying Kilometer 1 - it’s says Split 1 etc. Anyway I noticed it announced average speed too so I thought great. That was until I got to kilometer 2 and...
