    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...

    Series 5 Battery Drain

    So a very weird issue that has popped up over the last few days. I have a Series 5 44mm (Model A2095) running on WatchOS 7.2 (18S563). The last few days it's barely been able to get through the day. I put the watch on at about 8:20am this morning and it's currently at 10pm and at 6%. I just...

    Trade in scam for Apple Watch Series 5

    I was upbeat receiving a $90 credit for my old watch series 5... 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...

    Resolved wOS 7.0.1 Can’t control HomeKit?

    When I got my new S6 Watch and started using it, I noticed that I can no longer control my HomeKit devices with it. I get the same problem whether trying to use the Home app or Siri. The app tells me ‘10 devices not responding’ on the Watch, but things look fine on my iPhone and iPad (and I can...

    Another Verizon Activation Glitch

    In my limited experience, (iPhone 6s and Watch Series 6) you cannot activate a watch on Verizon unless the phone with which you want to activate and use the watch has already had the My Verizon app configured appropriately. The activation process will appear to work, but will fail at the Verizon...

    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...

    Lite WatchOS

    Is it just me or do a lot of you all think a lot of folks could benefit from a lite watchOS option? Not only for older devices but for those who just don’t need/want all the extras. I bought my watch with the intention of using all the time and now I use it to read text without pulling my phone...
