So I’ve have several Apple watches over the years. I actually had the Pebble before too. I don’t use any of the “key features” and use the watch solely for notifications and to see who is calling without taking out my phone.

The notifications have always been buggy, arriving several seconds, or even minutes late after my phone. Furthermore, the watch has this annoying thing where it would continue to “ring” after I answered the call on my iPhone.

Did Apple fix this in the latest versions? IMO, this should have been fixed years ago before spending R&D on new features. I recently gave away my AW 6 as it became more annoying than useful.

Notifications can be delayed. Incoming calls seem to work fine.

I didn't know there was something that needed to be fixed (been using AW for 4 years). I think if you are expecting the Watch to be an instant perfect mini-replica of your phone, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Both always work good with mine. Except mail, that can work great for weeks, notification wise, or it doesn’t do anything at all for a day
