Today Apple is going to be releasing its first minor update: watchOS 5.0.1 Full release notes:

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...

I updated to the GM last night and finally there are some new watch faces. Which all suck! What's everyone's opinions?

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?

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...

Watch your portfolio on your Apple Watch. It is also available for iOS, macOS and tvOS. Download the app here Enjoy!!

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...

Along with the MacRumors community, I'd like to compile a list of the Best Apple Watch apps of 2017. Having just received my Series 2, I am finally beginning to see the potential of apps on Apple Watch. Some of my nominations would be AutoSleep and HeartWatch, and Power Nap (by the dev of Sleep...

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...

I am unable to update to watchOS 4.1. I do not see the update yet even though watch on charger (unlocked) and over 50%. I had a beta profile but removing that didn't work. Anyone have similar issue?

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...

Just got notification for WatchOS 4.1 Developer Beta without being a beta developer and without having any beta profile installed. How can I disable this?

If I want to keep watchOS 1 on my watch . Does it work on iOS 11 ? Would Apple force any user to update new OS on the watch like an iPhone? Thanks

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?

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...

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)...

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...

Hi all, after iOS 5 made my original iPad grind to a near-useless halt and iOS 9 did the same to my iPhone 4S, I’ve been doubting on wether or not to install WatchOS 4 on my first generation Apple Watch later this year. I’ve got a paid developer account so I’ve been playing around with iOS 11 on...

I checked to see if I could download watchOS 3.2, but my iPhone tells me that what I have is current (3.1.3). Has anyone else had this problem. Restarting both the iPhone and the Apple Watch have no effect. I have an Apple Watch 2.
