    Apple Watch Series 4 w/ Cellular - Phone Required?

    I'm sorry if this has been answered before. My son is special and I was thinking about getting him an Apple Watch Series 4 / cellular. But he doesn't have an iPhone and I feel he'll lose the phone, but not the watch.

    AT&T - Apple Watch Series 4 Preorders

    I figured it would easier to manage if we have carrier specific threads for those of us who chose to preorder through our providers. This is my second preorder for the Apple Watch. My first one was for the S0 42mm SS, which I got directly from Apple. I have to get the GPS + Cellular combo, since...

    Apple Watch - Definetly waterproof?

    Stupid question, I know it is, but just looking for users experiences with an Apple Watch while swimming? I have the series 0 currently but will be upgrading when series 4 is available. Series 0 was never designed to go near water and I've therefore never swam with it. How has the watch held...

    Digital Crown has more of a 'click' on new Series 3 than on Series 2?

    I've been using my new Series 3 for a few days now, and one of the first things I noticed was that the Digital Crown seems to have more of a distinct 'click' than my Series 2 (SS) or what I remember of my Series 0 (Sport). Is this the case for all Series 3 watches, or did I get lucky?

    How does the Watch behave when cellular is never enabled to begin with?

    Title says it all... When cellular is never enabled on the Watch, does it behave the same as the GPS-only Watch? Is the icon for cell connection still present in Control Center?

    NRC and Activity apps crashing because of GPS?

    Hi! I've had problems usimg my Apple Watch S2 for monitoring my runs for a few weeks. The app would take a ton of time to launch and crash at some random point during my race, which I at first blamed on the NRC App itself. However, I recently tried using the Activity app instead and the same...

    June challenge rubbish

    My Activity app challenge for June seemed to be a solid one — to reach 200% of my Move goal every day of the month. I was excited to see if I could do it. Today — June 1 in my time zone — I doubled my Move goal. Upon doing so, I received an alert that I had successfully completed my June goal...

    Apps Please recommend the most accurate weather app on the watch..

    Built in weather app sucks. It used to work well now it's just not that accurate & it doesn't seem to update very often 2 things I need. It needs to have weather condition complication It needs to work with Time Travel (so I can see will it rain if I go out running) Oh.. and it'd be great if...

    Recently updated my iPhone from a 7+ to an X and since then the exercise circle is sometimes not moving very much and very hard to close when before it was doable. I'd been getting 9000-20,000 steps a day and sometimes the stand and move rings were closed but the exercise circle had hardly...
