r/AppleWatch

Hi this is a long shot but I am trying to find a watch band that has a second watch built into it on the opposite side of the watch face.

My watch dies fast and I am really bad about charging it and I still want to be able to know what time it is when it dies.

I know this sounds kinda silly. I have searched the internet best I could but have come up empty and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas.

Have a great day!

I’ve been wearing my Apple Watch S10 to bed for a few months because I’ve been dealing with poor sleep for a while.

The native Health app shows a lot: sleep stages, time asleep, wake-ups, etc. Even the new Vitals app is interesting for seeing overnight baselines. But I keep feeling like I’m just staring at numbers without knowing what to do next. For example, I wake up exhausted. I can look at the app and see that I slept X hours, my heart rate was normal, or I woke up a few times… but then what? Vitals might tell me my metrics are perfectly typical, but I still feel tired.

I recently started running my own data "experiments." Instead of just looking at total time asleep and sleep score, I started recording and benchmarking my overnight data (HRV, HR, wrist temperature, etc.) against how I feel the next morning.

For example: I realized that on days where I wake up exhausted (even after 8 hours of sleep), my HRV tanks below my benchmark levels. If I actually do a proper wind-down to relax before sleep, my HRV stays stable, my wrist temperature is lower, my time to fall asleep is shorter, and I feel much better the next morning.

It was a cool "aha" moment, but daily cross-referencing my Apple Health data with how my body is feeling and what I did that day is a lot of work. It feels like the ecosystem is missing the translation layer.

For people here who actually use Apple Watch sleep tracking seriously:

1. Do you mainly look at the Sleep Score, or do you dig into individual metrics like stages, wake-ups, heart rate?

2. Have you ever actually changed a habit because of what the data showed?

3. Do third-party apps actually explain things better / give improvement suggestions?

I like the Watch, but I feel “data-rich and insight-poor” with sleep tracking.
Would love to hear how other people use it.

Just got an Apple Watch Ultra 3. What are the must have apps you guys recommend installing?
Mainly for productivity, fitness, sleep tracking, and everyday convenience. What apps are worth installing?

I have both bands. I personally love the look of the link bracelet. I think it looks sharp. I really only wear the Milanese loop when at the gym or out running or whatever. All my friends, however, think that the Milanese loop looks better. If it matters, I have the natural titanium colored watch case and natural colored bands.

Would you guys rather get the SE3 for free or the Series 11 for 150$?

Both new with cellular.

Pretty random predicament but appreciate the help 😅

Hey all. I just bought my mother a titanium series 11 for her birthday coming up. Super excited to give it to her, she wears an SE right now.

I’m wondering to those who did a similar upgrade what did you think? what stood out the most? i’m thinking she’s gonna love the screen, she mentions how tiny the SE feels from time to time.
Thank you all for your input!

Apple watch ultra 4 will came out this year with a huge chance of redesign (because apple do that every 3 years). So in your opinion, would you prefer same thickness and 15-20% bigger battery, or thinner design with the same battery size?
I personally would prefer thinner body, that thickness is probably the only thing that is stopping me from getting AWU

First time trying to buy an Apple Watch for health monitoring reasons. I hope I won’t get downvoted for this but when I see people wearing smartwatches they’re a bit too obvious and don’t complement well their outfits. For example some I see with AOD off so it’s just a black square on their wrist, some color combinations make it too “in your face” and it’s the first thing you can notice on them.

So I’m looking if anyone has managed to make a combination of the apple watch color, strap type and color and the watch face that is “silent” and more “subtle”, so that it’s not the first thing that’s noticeable on me. If anyone has some suggestions feel free to share before I buy the Apple Watch

Edit: for the reasons above I’m looking at the normal s11 watches and not at Ultras
