Mine did too, the first few months. It’s three years old now. I’m curious, do you have functions turned off? I use only a few apps, and would love to dump the rest of them, in case they’re using battery power, but not sure how to do that.
No not really. I just leave everything on standard settings. To be honest, I don’t have a lot of additional third-party apps on my watch. If you’re suffering from serious battery drain then you may want to consider removing your apps and reinstalling them one at a time as it could be one of those apps that is causing the problem
From memory you are on EE? Do you just unpair your old and restore the new from backup or do you have to get EE involved?
Why do you say the AW is too toyish and lacking in features for serious run training?
Yeah I’m on EE and i just restore from the back up to my new watch. I’ve also have had data plans on every watch since the Series 3 with EE.
A lot of times, they are already available. This year that isn’t the case. Hopefully, we will see some quality protectors and cases in the next week or so.
So, how can be a second watch paired with the iPhone to keep both watches paired? I guess I will ask that in store when I pick up my S7 next weekend.
As the days go by, the midnight debate is getting funnier. It started out as black, then people said dark navy, then dark aqua and now it is just plain blue to some.
Battery life isn’t great for long runs and races, lack of enough physical buttons to use get while tired/running, lack of ability to program runs, lack of ability to properly do intervals, GPS doesn’t lock before you start the run, display/information generally too simplistic (especially in the stock app).
I can’t remember if this is still applicable but I used to have two watches paired to my phone. It was dead easy to switch from one to the other. When the Apple Watch first came out you had yo unpair an re-pair to swap watches but subsequent watch OS updates changed that
Yeah you can have as many watches tied to an iPhone as you’d like. I’ve had up to 3 attached to my phone.
Cheers!
Have you mainly been using the stock workout app? If so, I highly suggest you give “WorkoutDoors” ago. It is the best running app there is for the AW. It can do what you are looking for. WoD is my go to for running. I can easily go 8hrs - 10 hrs on my long runs (depending on GPS signal). I do make sure to turn off notifications, AoD , and don’t stream music during the long runs.
