    watchOS 5 Web Browser Not Working

    Hello, I have a 42mm Apple Watch Series 2 with watchOS 5.0 (GM) installed. I remember in the betas there was a mini Safari web browser that could load simple web pages. There was also an option on the Watch itself in Settings > General called "Website Data" which allowed you to clear all...

    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?

    watchOS 5: Apple Workout App Auto-Launching Itself Randomly on Series 2

    Recently (just today), my Series 2 began this weird cycle of automatically opening the Workout app and starting a Functional Training workout, without any input from me. The strangest thing is that once I tap the End button, it's like the workout never took place. And, as mentioned, this is a...

    Not getting any Breathe reminders

    Hi all, Have an Apple Watch Series 3 GPS on the latest watchOS. I realized I haven't been getting any Breathe reminders, even if I set it to 10 times a day. Did some research and this seems to be a very common issue. I checked the wheelchair settings and made sure it was on "No". Also, I do...

    AW Speed improvement

    Hello everyone, I've tested the apple watch series 2 and 3 and I saw a nice speed improvement on the series 3 over the 2.. HOWEVER, most apps still take time to load (aka aren't open instantly), which ruins a bit the experience for me imo. Even when I opened the settings on the watch, it didn't...

    watchOS 5

    Now that we’ve had some time to live with watchOS 4, what’s missing? What has Apple got right and should stay going forward? According to trends that we’ve been seeing on iOS, what do you think is going to make it into watchOS 5 due to be announced at WWDC next Summer? After four tries, Apple...

    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...

    Is it possible to pair a watch on WatchOS 3 with an iPhone running iOS 11, or does the watch also have to be updated to WatchOS 4?

    Trying watchOS beta without registered developer account

    Hello all, I know there is a way to install the latest beta on the Apple Watch without a registered Apple Developer account, but I am wondering if the Watch bricks during the installation/using process of the beta, does Apple freely repair ('rebrick') the Watch, or do they check if the owner's...

    How to keep using your S0 Watch without updating

    I have a S0 SS still running 2.2.1 - I was wanting to keep it at 2.2.1 for collectible/nostalgic reasons - the OS will change over time and later on it would be cool to see the original watch running early software. (For example, the side button no longer brings up the circular list of contacts)...

    Connection issues using Siri on the Watch with iOS 11 on the phone

    Hi everyone, just wondering if you happen to run into this problem as well: Since updating to iOS 11 Public beta I have a lot (and I mean really a lot) of issues giving Siri-commands on the Watch (running watchOS 3.2.2). About 50 % of the time the Watch recognizes the "Hey Siri"-command but...
