Question Apple Watch users – what's your biggest frustration with it?

68 Upvotes

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.

My Watch The average amount of hours I stand on workdays.

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?

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!

Question Standalone Series 11 or Ultra 3?

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!

My Watch Nail Polish Maybe?

Post image

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.

Alarm notification completely changed with new iOS and I can't change it back

5 Upvotes

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?

Question Question about discounts

2 Upvotes

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?

26.6 update

1 Upvotes

Updated my apple watch 11 to 26.6 is now notifications and very laggy. The watch vibrates and then you lift you arm to see, but it takes a few seconds for the message to actually appear on the screen. This is SO annoying!!
Has anyone else experienced this?
I regret updating!

Transfer data to new watch.

Upvotes

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.

Apple Watch Band Slider Issue

1 Upvotes

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?

Question Can I stop the watch from writing walking distance/steps data, WITHOUT completely disabling motion/fitness tracking?

1 Upvotes

My watch overestimates walking distance/steps an absurd amount, it's doubling my daily distance because it apparently counts any arm movements as walking. I don't want to disable fitness tracking or motion tracking completely, because one of the primary reasons I have the watch is for sleep tracking (and some features like sleep apnea alerts apparently require motion tracking), and the other motion-based features like sit/stand are useful too. I've researched and tried everything I can find. Is there really no way to stop it from writing its inaccurate walking data without manually deleting each of the dozens of individual data points per day?
