    Apple Watch + Apple Tracker - 6 months battery!?

    I love my Apple Watch - Series 0. I just wish the battery life was better. It doesn't track sleep (without an app). I find wear the watch to bed annoying.

    New watch update has slowed down my ss series 2

    So, I upgraded- actually was gifted- a new series 2 ss watch. If I hadn't been given it, I'd have been pretty happy with my original ss one. Anyway I was thrilled with the responsiveness of the new watch. Things were so much faster. For example using the Hue app on the original watch was...

    After activating the two factor authentication on my Apple ID all my devices show up a trustworthy devices except my Apple watch. The iCloud preferences panel on my Mac tell's me that "this device cannot be used to receive apple id verification codes". Can a Apple Watch receive 2FA codes at all?

    When do Apple Stores receive their shipments?

    I'm trying to get an Apple Watch. I would ship it or have it picked up at store, but right now, my card is not working and idk why. Right now, I only have cash.
