    Red line between Display and Frame on Apple Watch SE 44mm

    Hi all, in direct sunlight, I spotted somewhat like a red „line“ above the Display of my SE between Display and the glas. I never saw this line before and as I mentioned ist only visible in direct sunlight. On my Series 3, I can‘t see such a line. Is this „normal“?

    Urvoi vs the rest of AliExpress

    Was curious if you are a long time purchaser at the Urvoi store on Ali Express and what this store happens to do better than the other stores? The prevailing theory is that all the AliExpress shops get their materials from the same 2-3 places and ships them out under different names. What...

    Series 5 wrist detection not working at all

    Hey everyone, At the end of April, I cracked the screen on my Watch and as I didn’t have AppleCare, I got a new watch out of warranty. This has worked fine for the first couple of months, but around the end of May, I’ve noticed an issue whereby the watch wrist detection basically no longer works...

    iOS 15 Warning: Series 0, 1, & 2 might not be compatible

    Series 0 uses watchOS 4.3.2, Series 1 & 2 uses 6.3. There are at least two reports that installing iOS 15 beta causes crash/boot loops that are not recoverable. I have been dealing with this for weeks first suspecting a bad battery. The watch will continue to cycle (sometimes holding for a...

    Missing 38mm Form Factor

    I have been using an SS S0 38mm (still a backup) and SS S3 and SS S5 40mm. I am finding I prefer the smaller form factor. How do others feel about this?

    Is there any difference in charging speed between the magnetic charging dock and the one included in the box?

    So the title is pretty self explanatory. Is there any differecnce in speed between the 2 chargers? If not, why is it released? Thanks!

    Watch One in Boot Loop - LOW BATTERY!

    My SS Watch One has had a battery update three years ago and until yesterday was working great doing daily backup to my SS 5. While the 5 was charging I changed a complication on one of the faces and a short time later the watch went into a reboot loop. It boots to display the time and...

    Fitness app - Activity Sharing problems

    Hi all, asking here as I’m at my wits end! I’d be interested to see if anyone else has encountered this problem and if they’ve any ideas on how to fix it. I recently changed Apple ID (as Apple doesn’t allow you to change the iCloud email) and in doing so it appears to have broken Apple’s...

    Do you think Watch Series 7 Will Have Glucose Monitoring?

    Rumours suggest that both the Samsung watch this year and the Apple watch are getting glucose monitoring. What do you guys think? Will it happen?

    Did Apple Nerf 3rd party watch chargers??

    A couple days ago we had two apple watches refuse to charge. My wife's went stuck on the apple logo and wouldn't charge at all. Mine did the same and I left it overnight and it wouldn't charge the next day. My wife went and bought a new watch (hers was 3 years old and we just assumed it died)...

    I would like to erase all messages on watch

    Messages on the watch are not removed when deleted on the phone. You can only delete one at a time. Is their some hidden way to erase messages off the watch. Same goes for emails on the watch. I rarely try to read emails on the watch. Does build up of texts and emails eat up memory on watch

    Lefties - how do you wear your watch?

    I'm left handed and I'm used to wear my watch on the right wrist, but with Apple Watch I'm having a hard time to decide how to wear it thanks to the orientation option which I never had with other watches. IMO it looks better with crown on the right side, but using it there feels a bit...

    Walk vs run

    About to try my hand at running now that the weather is warming up and thinking I’ll likely be doing a mix of running and walking until I get my running stamina up. Would you set your workouts to just run, just walk, or would you keep hitting the add button and switching back and forth between...

    Pause vs end, pause vs continuing workout

    Say for example I choose to walk rather than drive to the grocery store to grab a few things. I would start the walk workout and get to briskly stepping, then when I arrive at the grocery store I could either end the workout then start a new one when I leave, or pause and then resume when I...

    Managing silent notifications

    This is probably something that can be set up easily but I'm still new to Apple Watch. I have a very specific way I want to use my watch. I want to have all notifications come to my phone (calls, messages, etc.) and have them delivered silently on my watch. For example, I receive a message on...

    Resolved: Apple Watch won't show incoming calls

    Edit, resolved: Resetting the network settings on the phone fixed this. Not sure which of the other steps were necessary in addition to that. See reply #2 below for details. ----------------------------------------- So, one of the reasons I love the Apple Watch is the ability to take incoming...

    Help me decide between 3 Watches (Slightly unusual use case)

    I need an Apple Watch to use as a viewfinder/camera remote, to help me record videos. My iPhone sits high up in a tripod, so I can’t see what I’m actually filming ?. The health features/fall detection etc. are not important factors in my decision. Options: - Apple Watch Series 3 (38mm) The...
