Having ordered it online and then sending the old one back as required, they sent me a message claiming the trade-in value was $0 instead of $90... On what basis did they decide this on a perfectly good watch without any scratches...

    Calculator Percent Function

    I noticed that after updating to Watch OS 7, the percent function is no longer present in the app... With the removal of force touch to select between Tip and %, it looks like Apple has exclusively left the tip function on the calculator app but not the percent. Very frustrated with this...

    Apple Watch Series 6 - Buying a Charger - Fast Charge?

    It seems that Apple’s decision not to include a charger with several versions of the Apple Watch Series 6 has completely split opinion to the extent that no amount of debate will change a person’s mind. So that wasn’t the purpose of me posting this thread – they’ve made the decision and if you...
