Steps not registering on walking pad

I want to say I love the new Apple Watch but something that is annoying me is the updated way it counts steps. In my last model, I could put my watch in my pocket when I’m on my walking pad at my desk (since no arm movement) and I would get steps counted.

However with this new watch, that does not work and even putting it on my ankle does not give credit for every step. I will have walked 3 miles and only gotten credit for like 1.

Does anyone else use this watch with a walking pad at their desk and figured out how to get credit for all steps??

Battery life craters on WatchOS 27 w/Watch 10?

Anyone having issues with battery life dropping significantly after upgrading to OS 27 on a Watch 10? I used to get 24-28 hours a day, now I get 12-14 hrs of life, usage hasn't changed. Battery health at 88%.

Apple so far is telling me I need to turn off features like Optimized Battery Charging, but it's going to 100%. And that I should turn off the always on screen....which used to be fine. Running 27.0.1.

Anyone else running into this? I did run the 27 consumer beta, but have upgraded to the final release version a couple of weeks ago, so shouldn't still be indexing.

From Ultra1 to Series 12. No regrets (so far).

Sold my Apple Watch Ultra 1 and picked up the new Apple Watch Series 12 in Dark Bronze.

I thought I’d miss the rugged look more than I do, but the slimmer profile and lighter weight are a refreshing change for everyday wear. Loving the new color too.

Anyone else move from the Ultra back to the regular Series? What has your experience been?

Ultra 2 to Series 12 (Ti)

I’m a big fan of the Ultra watches but thought I’d try something new. Went in the opposite direction and switched to the 42mm Series 12 in titanium for the dressy look. I have to say that I’m really happy with my decision.

I’ve always wanted to get the Link Bracelet, and it looks beautiful in the Natural Titanium.

So far the battery life has been surprisingly good. I’m currently at 80% battery at 7 pm and it’s been off charge since 7 am. I charge it in the morning while I’m getting ready and it’s fully charged before I leave the house. It’s great having the multi-day battery life on the Ultra, especially when travelling, but this is working for me as a daily driver.

I may go back to the Ultra in the future, but for now I’m really enjoying the aesthetic this combo gives me.

For reference my wrists are around 6.5” diameter.

Went to replace the battery in my Series 6, they gave me new watch!

I’ve been rocking my Series 6 since April 2021. Zero complaints! Except the battery was down to 73%. I wear it overnight and could no longer make it through the day on a charge.

Was torn on getting a new one. The SE would do everything I need but I worry about the durability, and the Series 12’s smallest size is now 42mm (I have tiny child wrists, even my 40mm is borderline too big lol)

Took it to the Apple Store to get the battery replaced, and instead they just ordered me a brand new Series 6 at the battery replacement fee. So I sit here now this evening, where my battery would usually be in the red, and it’s at 47%. Stoked!

Hopefully I can get another 5 years out of it!

There’s a certain luster to the new glass that doesn’t come across in photos nor videos

I think the Reflections and Pride Luminance watch faces were really built around the form of newer watches. The digital and physical glass (metal, for Reflections) really play off each other in a way that I can’t seem to capture in photos. I’m not sure if it’s because of the changed glass shape, the new kind of glass, or just that it’s new. If you can see one in real life I recommend it.

Blue Ceramic

My first ceramic. Coming from mostly ultras. Really enjoying the look and feel of this one. I swap out with my ultra 3 in black. I was worried about battery life but it’s fine.

Series 12 in light gold with gold Milanese loop - posting photos because I couldn’t find any when I needed them lol

When I was buying my watch I couldn’t find any irl photos of the light gold watch with the gold Milanese loop anywhere, I could only find the gold band with the other gold one and it was super frustrating! So here’s what this combo looks like for anyone else who wants to see it. Got photos from lots of angles so you can make your decision if this is the combo you’re looking at :) I also find this band a LOT more comfortable than the sport band which I also own!

Apple SE 3 Watch - Issues Receiving Calls - AT&T

My 10 year old daughter has an Apple Watch SE 3 with AT&T for cellular - no cellphone paired to it though. When I call her, many times the call does not go through and I will get a response of "The wireless customer you are calling is not available." I've been to the Apple store multiple times. They've run plenty of tests and insist it's not a watch issue. I've also been to the AT&T store and they've done plenty too. I'll leave with it working but sure enough, it'll go back being very inconsistent when accepting calls. This happens despite being fulled charged, good signal, not in lower power or school mode. Sometimes it'll work with Facetime Audio, but sometimes that doesn't even work. Fortunately, it seems like she can always make calls with no issue. Does anyone else have this issue? It's so frustrating.
