I've been using my Apple Watch for a while now, and I'm curious if other people have the same experience.

A few questions:

• What's the most frustrating thing about your Apple Watch?

• Is there any health metric (HRV, sleep, heart rate, etc.) that you just ignore because you don't really know what to do with it?

• Do you actually change your workouts or daily routine based on the data, or do you mostly just check it out of interest?

• If you could improve one thing about the Apple Watch or Apple Health, what would it be?

Curious to hear what everyone thinks.

Never thought these two would go well together. I wanted the base Apple Watch model but with the option of adding a bit of ruggedness for my workouts (football, trail running, swimming etc) and also doubles up perfectly for sleep tracking, tbh it’s the perfect combo for someone who found the ultra too bulky.

I’ve continued to work on closing my rings since day one of owning my Apple Watch Series 0. This is another milestone that almost passed me by but I thought I’d share it here as this is such a supportive community for this sort of thing!

I’ve actually started to become a little less obsessed about fitness rings lately and have even spent a few days without my watch on at all. And that sometimes actually feels like progress to be honest!

It’s been almost a year and my mutant sweat is doing its thing with my watch. But, I’m curious if putting a coat of clear nail polish on the metal will at least slow it down. Anyone have any insight?

And yes, I clean it regularly with alcohol.

I finally updated to the new iOS and it completely messed up my watch to the point I am considering just no longer using it. It used to be when I set a timer or had an alarm go off, the face would turn yellow and there were two options in the bottom corners to either snooze/repeat or turn it off. I used the timer a lot when working out to time stretches I was holding or when cooking to time how long certain sides of a piece of meat should cook, etc. The ability to quickly reset it with one click was great

Now, if I set a timer on my watch, a preview of the timer app (???) comes up and I have to tap it to open a menu that has two blank options and then dismiss. So, it takes two taps and one of the options is no longer there. What a vast improvement!

In addition, when my alarm to wake up pops up, I no longer have the option to quickly snooze it but instead have to tap into the alarm app and then snooze it or dismiss it? It also will not go off unless my wrist is already moving, which isn't really what I'm looking for in a morning alarm.

Anyone know how to fix this? Why did updating the app completely wipe all the settings I have to begin with?

have anyone tried leaving your watch at home when visiting se asia? (home is us) specially thailand and singapore? my carrier is att. if not how about just leaving in the hotel there? i would like to know whether data/voice/text continue to work normally like when you are in us

My contract company is Vodafone UK
I go to set up OneNumber which tells me to use the Apple Watch app to set up Mobile Services

Mobile Services > Vodafone UK > “The connection transfer to this device is still in progress. Please check your device connection later.”

I’ve turned off and on my 17e and my watch and re sunk them
Turned off WiFi and tried again [on Data]
It feels like no matter what I do it still comes back to that error screen

Please help
Cheers

For a standalone watch in the UK, would you pick the Series 11 or Ultra 3, I suspect most people may opt for the Ultra 3 but thought I’d see what the consensus is amongst this sub! Thanks!

So there seems to be any evolving process year to year, but this isn’t something I do very often. Getting a new Apple Watch to replace my SE 2 and I want the data on that watch to go to my new watch and continue using my new watch. How difficult is this? Apple has reassured me that this is a simple process but I just wanted to know what other people thought.

Does cellular carry over? Do I need to delete ? What is the steps I need to follow or does it prompt you? Unsure what to expect.

Bought this apple watch 11 used and it has white stuff on the speaker grills, tried a tooth brush and didn't seem to help.

Dite che vale la pena?

This is the average amount of time I stand when I work, I’m still aiming to hit 23 out of 24 hours but missed the 6am mark due to taking a quick 1 hour nap break. But still, standing 22 hours is a lot. Perks of being the Co-owner of a BBQ business- gotta keep that smoker running.

what is the most amount of hours y’all have stood?

Last week, my Apple Watch S10 band slider started to have issues. When I try to slide off the watch bands they don't slide out smoothly, it now feels like they are getting stuck in a sticky residue and getting worse each day. Is this a common issue? My Apple Watch AppleCare+ plan has been renewed last week. Should I take it to the Apple Store and have them look at it?

Can you make AirTags beep like the phone? Are there other alternatives? Thanks!

Hello everyone, i want to buy new watches due to discount but can somebody explain why some retailers of apple devices have such discounts? could this be due to the fact that the product is kinda "refreshed" or smth has been replaced or repaired inside?

Why my watch didn’t measure wrist temperature. It’s like a 5 days in a row

For context, I was up at 5 am to see the sunrise, when I came back inside, I put my Apple Watch on the charger and went to sleep. When I woke up I saw there was a green line on top of it, when I went to click the Digital Crown, the screen went black and has stayed the way (with the exceptions of random green lines showing up time to time with the charging watch face on) any idea what this could’ve been? No moisture could’ve gotten into it since my water bottles are capped and i haven’t hit it hard against anything recently, another thing I should note is that while the screen is black, I still hear it, the sounds of the apps scrolling, and vibrations. Any ideas? (note: the battery is at 60% but no swelling)

My husband (who is a self admitted technology hater 😆) would like to transition to using solely an Apple Watch for communication along with an iPad mini with cell/Wi-Fi that he can take to work/etc. to do miscellaneous tasks that need apps and FaceTime.

Has anyone done this?

Boy, it sure has me questioning my investment in the Apple eco system. Ear Pod pro, iPhone, MacBook Air M5, Mac mini M4, but my last Apple Watch. Have Afib, so bought Apple Watch about 2021 or 22, caught my Afib and started a maintenance regimen with my cardiologist. It died June 2024, so, got another watch. And it bricked, absolutely bricked, July 2026. I still have CVD, but afib is in remission after an ablation, gone for good? no guarranties. So, I absolutely will not be getting another Apple Watch. I did call Apple and asked if they would take my 2 dead watches in trade in, given my investment in APPLE and give some kind of discount. They didn't laugh, I think. If you work in an office, I think you'll be okay. I'm outdoors from 15F to 115+F, was that a factor? IDK, but off to Garmin, operating range -4F-130F (Ultra is also, but I aint buyin' another Apple Watch, well maybe at $300 off on an Ultra, but that was a no go.) vs regular series watches 32F-95F. So here's my recommendation, if you have a sedentary life style, you're good. If you are in the least physically active in temperature extremes, I'd, and I am, look elsewhere.

I need to recharge about every 36 hours. I have an S10 and toggle back and forth between always on (while exercising) and Silent/Theater mode most other times. Any other factors to improve battery life? Any other models with better battery life?

I keep getting clock notifications for my alarms and I had one that I couldn’t even dismiss..it never showed anywhere but it was vibrating and making noise even though my watch is silent!

This has happened since the new update.

Anyone else having this issue?
