    4 of 6 new Nike bands sold out already!

    I know it wasn't everyone's thing, but I kinda dug the Celestial Teal and Black Sport Band introduced just last week. I had it in my cart, waiting to purchase it until I actually purchased my S4. Today, I got a note that it had been removed from my cart since it was now unavailable. Three of the...

    S-4 Fall Detection Works When Locked

    FYI - Discovered that the fall detection works even when the watch is locked. Was removing my watch from the charging stand and it slipped and I dropped it. I was able to grab it just before it hit the floor but received the "Looks like you have fallen" notification. Had not unlocked the watch...

    October perfect month award not received

    I reached my move goal everyday. I saw the perfect month award appearing on my watch. But it hasn’t shown up on my phone yet. I’ve tried restarting my phone and my watch. The award is still to be seen. Has anyone experienced something like this before? Anyone aware of a solution? Thank you!

    Is Apple trying to kill you with your November Challenge?

    Watch S3 & OS5.0.1 - Ping on Charger

    While my Series 3 Apple watch is on the Apple charger in nightstand mode, I am getting a "ping" every 2-5 minutes, the display comes on and then it goes off, similar to what happens when you put the watch on the charger at first. This has never happened before and only started immediately after...

    Apple Watch heart capability alternative

    Heyo there. I would love for my father to have a device to monitor his heart, and give warnings when something is detected. However an apple watch is a bit too pricey, and he wouldn't use everything else that the watch does, overkill. Can anyone offer a suggestion on an alternative that is...

    Apple Watch 3 Series buying abroad

    Hi there, I live in the UK but will be in the USA next month. I had hoped to pick up a 3rd Generation Apple Watch, GPS Only (NO Cellular). Will this work with a UK bought and used iPhone? Can all features still be used - phone notifications when connected via bluetooth etc? Any help appreciated!

    Yesterday it was sold out in every single Apple store around DFW area and all of Texas, then this morning there were some available down in Houston (according to the store app). Is there a certain day I should look out for to determine stock in my area?

    I'm in the market for a BBC radio capable radio app on the series 4. In the UK, the only non-apple stations we can get on the apple radio app are LBC, bloomberg and something called PRI.

    Slow response when tilting wrist and screen appears.

    Picked up the S4 this afternoon, Got it all set up around 4pm, everything went smooth. I'm not sure what this is...if it's a new setting I'm missing or something is goofy? (I'm coming from a Series 1, lot has changed) It just seems to be a tad sluggish when I turn my wrist and when the screen...
