    Apple Watch As My Primary Device

    Jony Ive was recently quoted when asked what he regrets about the iPhone is "Perhaps its constant use." I've wondered about that and how to return to living in the real world while still having access to the power of the internet with me wherever I go. The answer is the Apple Watch. Unlike an...

    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...

    Notifications Showing up Odd on Watch OS 4?

    This never happened in Watch OS 3. I would get notifications from apps, even apps that didn't have a supported Apple Watch app and I would see the application image, now I see this. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on the Apple Watch Series 3 if that makes a difference.

    Music sync is incredibly slow

    Hi, I just bought a new Series 3, my first watch. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it takes forever to sync just a few albums. Well over an hour! From what I understand, it's using Bluetooth to sync. Why? If the watch has to be docked in order to sync, power consumption shouldn't...

    HR Resting rate - Series 0

    I found this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204666 "Apple Watch measures your heart rate throughout the day when you’re still, and periodically when you’re walking (Apple Watch Series 1 or later)." So, the series 0 used to do this with OS3 but not any more with os4. If you have a series 0...

    Noticed something with notification banners and Apple Watch

    Prior to iOS 11 and Watch OS 4 when I got a notification on my watch, like say a WhatsApp message, if I unlocked my phone without interacting with the watch notification, the banner notification on the phone would still slide down and I could tap it to take me into the app. Now, if I get the...

    Control Center Order

    One of the new changes in watch OS 4 is an addition of new icons to the control center. The ones that I use the most is Silent mode and Water mode. Now both of those are below the fold. I can't find a way to re-order them. There isn't one, is there? A bit of a bummer.

    Bluetooth Headphone Question - WatchOS 4

    Can you pair the Apple Watch with Bluetooth headphones? If I want to go for a bike ride without my phone, do I have to sync the headphone with the watch, and then re sync the headphones with my iPhone after?
