    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 Race Routes not updating after run

    Hey, I tried out the new race routes feature in watchOS 9.2 yesterday and it worked well, plus I beat my PB by a minute so I was happy with that progress. However, there's now a problem... If I choose the same route again today, it still shows the previous run on that race, not the one from...

    When is a ‘tech accessory’ actually obsolete?

    Having looked throughout computer history, there is an interesting phenomenon that has been happening recently that has not happened before. It has to do with tech accessories.

    Apple Watch Ultra: Cellular US model in Europe

    Hey everyone, I live in Denmark and during my recent trip to US I've purchased the latest Apple Watch Ultra (A2622). I'm new to cellular Apple Watches, therefore had no idea that multiple watch variants exist until I tried to activate data plan on the watch after getting back. When I go into...

    Does the apple watch not give sleep results until after your sleep schedule?

    I did some research and just learned this morning that you don't need to use sleep schedule to track sleep. I haven't verified this, but apparently you can just use the Sleep Focus mode to manually track sleep; turn it on and then turn it off when you wake up. Not sure if this will answer my...

    watchOS 9.0 Slow Weather App

    I have a temperature complication for the built-in weather app on my Series 5 Apple Watch. Starting with watchOS 9.0, I have found that when I tap on the complication, it takes longer to come up with the next 10 hours of temperature. It shows a small circle of unknown temperatures and 1-2...

    Watch Face for Toddler?

    What solution does everyone use when you have a toddler that likes to touch the watch face? I've been using water mode or the Photos Face. I wish they had a "Child Mode" where they could move things on the watch screen, but it didn't change anything.

    Should I buy an Apple Watch

    So I’ve have several Apple watches over the years. I actually had the Pebble before too. I don’t use any of the “key features” and use the watch solely for notifications and to see who is calling without taking out my phone. The notifications have always been buggy, arriving several seconds, or...

    Is Apple Manipulating Battery Health?

    I have seen mention of this topic on iPhones, but I wonder if the battery health figure is reliable on the Watch. My S4 (used almost daily for close to four years) has seen a slow but steady decline in battery health but stayed at a constant 87% since the last watchOS update (os 8). However...

    So just went to the local Apple Store and they said they are out of stock for Apple watch 8. Checking Apple website, it says all nearby stores are also out of stock. When a product launches, how long after the launch, you can go to the store and buy the product? Delivery right now is Oct 17.

    Watch Ultra on Verizon

    Verizon doesn't have preorders until Friday just like the iPhone 14, but does anyone know how the Cellular thing is going to work with them? Will Verizon have the option to be GPS only? Just curious since the Ultra is GPS and/or Cellular.

    Apple Watch Ultra looks like stand alone dive computer. No air integration?

    This was a natural evolution. I wondered why it took so long. Oceanic is a great company. My wife used proplus dive computer for many years However it looks like version 1 is really only a backup dive computer. Without wireless air integration (typically done with a dongle on the high pressure...
