After seeing countless posts on this sub seeing people getting their aluminum body scratched so I got it laminated. The back circle is not laminated from the same film though, I got that protector with my screen protector sticker. What do you think?
P.S I couldve gotten a back film but I couldn't find in the local store.
I've had Apple Watch 6 and Ultra now for years and I realized my routine is: wake up, look at the score, feel vaguely judged, change nothing. The data says what happened but never why, so there's nothing to act on.
I even tried to record blood pressure some times but not sure what to do with the data.
Curious what this sub does. Has anyone actually connected a score to a specific habit and fixed it? What did it take?
I love Audible app for apple watch. They are now offering 3 free months + $20 Audible credit for their new Standard Plan. I've used their offers in the past, so I figured I'd be ineligible, but it actually worked. Did anyone else get it to work?
So my watch battery was below 65% and said it needed servicing, I paid for Apple care on the watch because the watch isn't cheap. I took it to the Apple Store and they said "yes we agree it needs to be replaced/repaired and it will take a week or 2." This was on the 15th of June.
On the 17th I get a message saying "we agree it need to replace your product."
And then nothing. On June 30th I was told "we are just waiting for the watch to come in. It shouldn't be later than Friday the 3rd July." Okay so I wait. Nothing.
I call in today and am told "we are waiting on a part, no eta."
So if you have a series 6 this will be your experience. Paying for Apple care for an idea that should be replace.
Watch was working fine, went to go look at it and it just stayed black screen, went to see if it was still connected to my phone, which it was not, tried turning it back on nothing works, it’s sitting on the charger right now and still nothing, plus it was only off the charger for maybe 2 hours.. any advice or is it just broken?
I've been wanting to get a fitness tracker, and I have always been enjoyed the apple ecosystem. I was curious if there are many people in the community that would be more interested in a FitBit Air / WHOOP style apple watch. I know I would like a tracker that uses apples privacy terms and works seamlessly with my iPhone without the big screen.
Would anyone else be interested in this or just me?
For anyone wondering this is the Electric Pink colour

I use my Apple Watch primarily for workouts. Every 3-4 months or so I’m somewhere where I’d like to go on longer runs without my phone and in places without cell service, so I (try to) download podcasts or new music to my Apple Watch using Spotify.
For years, the same issues have persisted: taking forever to download, requiring unpairing the watch, deleting Spotify off the watch, redownloading it, losing all previous downloads, connecting headphones again, etc. Of course for whatever reason you need the phone to do all of this, so nothing can be troubleshooted on the go even with a watch with a cellular plan. Then if you’re finally able to get anything downloaded, you cannot scrub within a podcast, change podcast speed, or queue up songs.
I understand this is more of a Spotify issue than a WatchOS issue, but wtf?? how is it possibly this horrible of a UX to do basic streaming audio stuff? we’ve had all this on iPhone for 15 years.
UPDATE: call with Apple, unable to resolve even after unpairing the watch. Apple said it’s under warranty and replacing with new S10. Will only pay $69 if when I return my watch there is obvious damage.
Multiple scenarios with ECG app on Series 10.
This morning when pulling down from the top for notifications, I had to press the “clear all” button multiple times before it worked. I’m thinking a display issue has developed.
I have Apple care coverage and have call back with them today. Anyone else had issues with ECG app?
I’m guessing not this? I’m 27F if it matters.
Edited to add that I’m on Prozac and I take trazodone as needed. I would take trazodone more, but it gives me a stuffy nose. I do sleep better on it, though, but still not great. I have the hardest time staying asleep no matter what I do.
Series 10. Noticed it didn’t charge overnight. Worked out then popped it on the charger . I got this message that was basically useless and now when I put in the charger it shows the Apple log / start up but doesn’t charge overnight any suggestions?
Is it true that Apple Watch cellular if the phone is switched off only works and receives calls and data no sms? Or depends on the carrier. I can call using my watch with my iPhone turned off but cant send sms.
How can I make the running man go away? It’s not always there! Sometimes it’s something else. Thanks 🙏🏼
There’s currently a sale where I can get an AWU3 for $630 (retail is $900 where I live), which is about 30% off.
I’m wondering if it’s worth buying now, or if AWU prices typically drop by more than 30% once the next generation is released (likely in around 3 months).
For context, I’m currently using an Series 8, so this wouldn’t be a first smartwatch.
I don’t really care about having the latest model.
I’m fairly budget-conscious, so I don’t mind waiting if it means getting a significantly better deal.
My main reason for upgrading is that I’d like a watch that can also function as a recreational dive computer instead of buying a dedicated dive computer that I’d only use once or twice a year. I have a diving trip coming up in August, so it would be nice to have my own dive computer instead of relying on rental units.
Besides diving, I mainly use my watch for hiking, workouts, and everyday wear.
Is it worth to get the AWU3 at this price, or wait for the AWU4 launch and hope for a bigger discount? I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has tracked AWU pricing after new releases.
I'm curious to hear from everybody who has an Apple Watch: what apps do you think are worth getting, whether they're paid or free, that are better than some of the apps that come on the Apple Watch, or that you think have been life-changing for you?
