    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!

    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.

    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!
