    Series 3 or Used Series 2

    I currently have a Series 1 and am starting to run. I have calibrated my watch correctly and it works fantastic but now I would like to track the location of my runs and am thinking of upgrading to either a used Series 2 or a Series 3.

    Have you swapped from a SS to a Sport? How did you find the transition?

    Current owner of a 38mm Stainless Steel S0, and starting to get fed up of battery life/slowness. Really tempted by the battery longevity and processing power of the S3, and interested in going for the Sport over the Stainless Steel, primarily for cost reasons. My main concern is durability...

    S3 Water resistance test

    Ok, so I got my S3 LTE last week and before going swimming, decided to get it pressure tested ( as you would with any other water resistant Watch after a battery replacement or repair... ). Luckily I have a friend who repairs analogue watches for a living so I asked him to use the machine to...

    iMac prefer ethernet over WiFi

    I have my 2017 iMac hooked up with an ethernet cable, which obviously gives me speeds of approximately 1 Gbit/s. Useful for me for file transfers in my network etc. Recently I got myself a Watch Series 3, which I use to unlock the iMac. This requires WiFi to be enabled on the iMac. So far so...

    Series 2 and OS4 Performance

    Hello everybody! I am considering buying a used Apple Watch SS Series 2 and I am wondering if the performance is good with the latest OS 4. How is the speed? What is your experience? Is it worth it, in order to save some money getting the series 2, or would you recommend getting the series 3...

    AW3 battery life while connecting to AirPods and LTE

    Hi everyone, I was trying to find out how long will the Apple Watch last if connected to AirPods(or any other bluetooth headset) while connecting to the LTE. I know you still can not streaming music at this point, but can still play music saved on the watch. I have the 38mm S3 LTE, which I...

    Series 3 can make calls on LTE, but no data

    My Series 3 watch is connected to AT&T cellular. I leave my phone at home and turned on, and then leave the house with my Series 3. I can connect to LTE fine, and calls work great - I've had conversations on the watch. I have not, however, ever had any semblance of data working on the watch...

    Can I share my location with a loved one using AW3 LTE?

    So just like what the title say, can I share my location to my husband using an Apple Watch series 3 LTE if I don’t have my phone with me? We always share our location through our iPhones to one another so this one would be so useful.

    Looking for Case Recommendations, Thoughts Appreciated

    Anyone using cases occasionally or otherwise on their Watches? This will be my first Apple Watch. It will be used a lot for fitness, but I also want something that can be dressy or casual.

    S3 (non LTE) alu colors.. help!

    So I'm about to get my first Apple Watch. I'm in the Netherlands and there's no LTE models here (I don't mind, and I don't like the red dot anyway) so I'm limited to the aluminium colors. I haven't seen them in real life yet and that will probably be the deciding factor. We're headed to the...

    Who Uses Google Voice?

    Who Uses Google Voice? I do get Google Voice notifications on my AW3 with LTE, but I suspect it’s via my iPhone. I can hit “Reply” from the message and it works but, again, I think it’s all iPhone doing it. That’s fine, but for those times when I'm away from my iPhone, I would like to compose...
