    Apple Watch question

    I have a son with special needs. He had been wearing my old apple watch so I got a new one for him today. The ability to track him should he get out of the house, etc is why. Anyway, I paired it with my phone for a family member but had to set up an email and all for it. The watch is an SE with...

    Replacing Apple Watch battery

    I have an old Series 5 that I use a backup watch to my primary. The battery dies fairly quickly. It's probably not worth much to sell, and Apple charges $299 to replace the battery, which is more than it's worth. There are battery replacement kits on Amazon for like $30. I've repaired many Apple...

    Hey guys. I’m planning on buying an Apple Watch Nike Series 7 GPS. Do you guys think it’s worth waiting for series 8 to come out or spend the money now and get the 7 series? Thanks.

    Watch gave heart rate reading while on table.

    I’ve noticed for awhile when I’m sleeping the green lights of my watch come on on my bedside table and the battery drains fast than I’d say stand by should. To solve this I usually turn it off. Today I went the gym and didn’t wear my watch. When I came home and my phone came into proximity it...

    Switched from 44 previous gen to 41 series 7? Any problems with bands?

    If you switched from a 44mm previous gen Apple Watch to a 41mm Series 7, did you have any problems with the bands you already owned when installing them on your series 7? Does anyone know if either size of Link Bracelet actually works for both Apple Watch sizes? Have you tried your link...

    OK, so I bought my first ever Apple Watch

    It is a Series 7 45mm Starlight with sports loop. I have had it for 5 hours and I’m very happy with it. My head is spinning from how customisable it is and the various health features it has. Every hour goes by and I’m finding something else new and useful that it does and discovering it...

    No charging after 8.3 upgrade

    Anyone else experiencing charging issues? I have a Series 6 I keep updated and have never had an issue. After the 8.3 update, my watch no longer charges using a third-party puck. Charges fine with Apple-supplied puck. Is it possible Apple added code to disable third-party chargers?

    Sticker shock! $$ for cell phone plans… Looking for advice.

    I’ve been deciding which Apple Watch to get. That's been a fun exploration. Fitness functions, podcasts, weather, etc. would be good to have. Would particularly like the emergency calling function. That’s why I'm focusing on a cellular Watch and exploring cell phone options. An EKG...

    Two people and One Watch…

    Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. In any case, does an Apple Watch have a way of tracking *two* people's walks separately? My spouse and I often walk at different times and it would be good to track those separately. Neither of us normally wears a watch, but we'd value the fall feature...

    Confused about Apple Watch Series 7 purchase

    Guys, to put it simply I am confused. I was really happy to order the new 45mm green Apple Watch Series 7 and now that I watch all of these videos and I personally feel that apple used all the same internals and slapped a new screen (with other minor changes, fast charging, more durable, etc)...

    Question: What’s your experience with launch-day stock of Apple Watch?

    Hey everyone, I pre-ordered my Apple Watch Series 7 in Gold Stainless Steel, but got a shipping time of early November. I’m thinking about coming in to my local Apple Store on launch day this Friday, October 15 and see if they have any. I’ve never shopped for Apple Watch on launch day, though...

Does anyone know a way to toggle this or if it is even an option? Thanks in...
