    Mobility metrics

    I’m running iOS 14 GM on an iPhone 7 Plus and WatchOS 7 GM on a Series 4. I’m not getting any of the mobility metrics updated besides VO2 Máx and 6 minutes walk. Is there an age for the features to start working like EGC? Country? Any special setting for them to work? Thank you,

    Apple Watch series 6 - which one to choose

    Hi, I currently own a 38mm aluminium AW series 3 Wi-Fi + cellular (never used the cellular part) & I’m looking at upgrading this year.

    Hey all, After updating my Apple Watch S4 to WatchOS 7 Dev Beta 2 along with iOS 14 Dev Beta 2, I was surprised to see that my watch battery drained from 100% down to 0% in less than two hours. Is anyone else having this issue with the 2nd WatchOS beta?

I bought my watch with the intention of using all the time and now I use it to read text without pulling my phone...

    WWDC vs. September event

    Thought I’d ask this question that I’ve been thinking about for a while. Which is your favorite Apple event each year? The September iPhone event or WWDC keynote? I personally enjoy WWDC more because it brings new features for all product lines, and it’s always exciting to see new things at...

    So I have an iPhone XS with Watch Series 3. I've updated to iOS 13 and WatchOS 6 respectively. Now, I usually pass on my old tech to my parents. My mother is using my iPhone 6 on iOS 12. Does this mean my Watch Series 3 can no longer connect to the iPhone 6? If so can I roll back the WatchOS...

    Meridian watch face

    I see a lot of pics of the Series 5 watch with the Meridian watch face (rectangle face with 4 complications in the middle). Does anyone know if it’s exclusive to the series 5? I have the watchOS beta but don’t see it. Please advise.

    Camera Remote Timer >3s?

    Hey Folks, I really love the remote camera control on the Apple Watch. Perfect when you also want to be in the picture and no other people around. Just one missing thing: The 3s Timer is too short for some shots. Any workaround or Feature in the next WatchOS? Could a third party app control...

    Am I the only one who wants full Safari in watchOS?

    Obviously it wouldn’t replace my iPhone for web browsing, but I’ve found myself wishing I could use Safari by itself and not just when I get links in Messages. Anyone else have this desire or am I just crazy?
