    How does the Watch behave when cellular is never enabled to begin with?

    Title says it all... When cellular is never enabled on the Watch, does it behave the same as the GPS-only Watch? Is the icon for cell connection still present in Control Center?

    Hello everybody! I am considering buying a used Apple Watch SS Series 2 and I am wondering if the performance is good with the latest OS 4. How is the speed? What is your experience? Is it worth it, in order to save some money getting the series 2, or would you recommend getting the series 3...

    Siri issues on AW

    Whenever I invoke Siri on my Apple Watch Series 2 after not having used her for a little while, it says “Hold on...” on the screen before I even complete my query; it eventually asks me to repeat the query and I have to invoke Siri again by pushing in the Digital Crown. Other times, it takes...

    S3 w/ WatchOS 4: music capacity

    I've got a S3+LTE that I've just started to set up because I finally have a compatible phone (iPhone X), and I can't seem to get as much music on it as I did on my S0. How much of the 16GB is available for storing music? WatchOS 3 let me set the storage limit to 2GB, but I don't see that...

    I don't like the new Music app

    As the title says, I don't like how the new Music app works on watchOS 4. On watchOS 3, I can easily play music on my car's Bluetooth speaker by tapping Now Playing complications on my watch face. It streams music from my iPhone. Now it's not possible anymore. We have two choices: Play music...

    How to shuffle songs/playlists in watchOS 4

    My new Series 3 with LTE is awesome, but I'm feeling stupid. Feel free to tell me "hey idiot, all you need to do is X" because I would deserve it! I'd like to think I'm smart but this has me befuddled; I cannot for the life of me figure out how to shuffle songs in a playlist in watchOS 4. I...

    Message Notifications not obeying "Hide Alerts" on iphone

    Seems this issue has been around since Watch OS 2.1 or even before. Have a group message, with about 9 people. 4 of them are not using iPhones, they are on android, so it is an SMS message that is sent. When I get a text from the group, in the group message, and select on my iPhone, HIDE...

    How's WatchOS 4 battery life on a Series 1? Should I keep mine on 3.2.3?

    Just curious from other Series 1 owners who have updated to WatchOS 4 if I should make the jump or keep my Series 1 on 3.2.3? How's the battery life? Sucks that we can't try out the update for a few days / weeks and downgrade if we don't want it like we can on the iPhone :oops: (at least before...

    caution: watchOS 4 bricked my 1st gen

    I attempted to update my Apple Watch Sport (1st Gen) last night, via my iPhone 7 (VZW). I started the process and let them run mostly unobserved.

    iOS 11 GM and iPhone 7 Plus

    I updated to the GM whichever day it was available and ever since then it has been really laggy. I want to downgrade to 10.3.3, then just upgrade to the official iOS 11 to see if that makes a difference. Is anyone on 7 Plus experiencing the same?! Also, if I downgrade then upgrade, will this...
