Which one looks better on the watch?

Which one looks better on the watch?

I'm a bit undecided. One option is the Nomad Sport Band, and the other is a more expensive (49€) replica of the Nomad Rocky Point Band (but without the connection issues).

Fake or legit?

Bought a MacBook neo without touch id so i started looking at apple watches and stumbled on this apple watch ultra 3 for only $500 aud. It was listed at $1000 and I said to myself if they accept 500 it’s probably fake but I don’t know anymore.

AW Ultra 4: thinner body or bigger battery

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

New Watch shows coverage expired

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased apple watch ultra 2 from bestbuy and also paired it with my iphone 16 pro max. I updated both phone and watch to latest but suprisingly the coverage if the watch shows expired. I tried to check on the apple website by entering the serial number but it shows invalid. So, I'm unable to contact apple support too as in the support app it doesn't list the device. Although it shows on findmy app as well as apple store app too. I contacted bestbuy and they said its issue with apple and that I do have the one year coverage which people usually get with a new apple product. The bestbuy support agent also mentioned that sometimes it takes time to register the serial number on their server or something.But I wanted to verify with apple if the coverage still exists and why the serial number shows invalid. Anyone faced the same issue or know what to do?

Update: I had to connect iphone to wifi, then it worked. Watch is also on same wifi network.

Looking for Apple Watch lifters to test auto rep tracking + workout features

Been building an Apple Watch workout project and we’ve been expanding the Watch side pretty heavily lately.
One of the bigger things we’re working on right now is auto rep tracking directly from the Watch for movements like:
squats
shoulder press
chest movements
curls
pull exercises
Curious if anyone here trains consistently with their Apple Watch and would be open to trying some early features + giving feedback on the Watch experience.
Especially interested in:
people who lift regularly
Apple Watch fitness nerds
home gym users
people into workout/health optimization
Would genuinely love honest feedback — positive or negative — especially around rep tracking, workout flow, and usability.
DM me if interested.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 Regret

I’ve had my ultra 3 in the black color way for the past 2-3 months. Loved it ever since besides realizing I sort of regretting not getting the natural color way or the titanium face. Since black won’t go with the aftermarket silver bands.

Granted I can get a watch band that covers the face to appear silver. However, I notice they make the watch appear chunkier and the 49m fits just right to my wrist.

Unfortunately, I did my purchase through the refurbished option on Amazon and its pass my return period.

Any advice on what to do? Suck it up and get a band that covers the face? Try to resell and get the right color way? Find something that’ll paint the face lol? Anything is appreciated!

White residue around screws on brand new Ultra

Each of the four screws on my brand new Ultra have a varying degree of white residue/lubricant/sealant coming out of the side of the screw holes. Is this normal for a new watch?

Watch band for working out or daily life. Besides the Alpine loop

I have an Alpine loop that came with my watch but I am looking for another band. To switch out sometimes. I don’t want something that will stand out too much. Preferably under $100.

Is the Ocean band something that blends in pretty well for daily life? Thank you.

Why are my complications so limited?

I just got an Apple ultra 2 watch. I been looking for some faces and I’m liking this one because it has space for a lot of complications but I can’t add much. Even when I click the middle bottom I see weather but the only option is OFF, if I select anything else that option disappeared. I see lots of other post and ppl having it pretty customized. What am I missing that prevents me from choosing more complications? Appreciate any guidance on this.

I love this look!

I am one that typically rides a sportier band. I prefer the Trail and Alpine loops a lot. I was curious so I decided to buy a Jubilee to throw on and man I think this is SHARP.

Tracking running pace without committing to a distance

Hi All

I have an UW3 which I use to track gym workouts and runs. I'd like to have it track my running pace without committing to a distance and can't see a way to do that using the native Workout app on the watch. For example, I might want to go out and maintain a certain pace until I'm done in and would like to glance at the watch to see if I'm above/below that pace. If I just start a normal run it tells me my pace, but there's no way to set a target and therefore get feedback.

I have the Workoutdoors app but haven't used it yet! Maybe that's the answer?

Thanks

Do you regret buying the uwa3?

Honestly sometimes I do and I am considering to sell it.

The sport I do is boxing and can’t really wear it and for the rest all it does is give me some notifications I could also read later.

Maybe the unlocking of my Mac is cool?

7 months in. It was a long honeymoon phase.

Whoop-like metrics for Apple Watch and gamified!

I got sick of never having recovery / strain natively built into the Apple Watch metrics, so I built my own tracker!

As your recovery increases / trends better, you slowly start growing a forest with new trees, etc. The forest is a direct representation of how hard you're pushing yourself + recovering! Helps me stay consistent, and I enjoy the gamified aspect.

Would love to hear any/all feedback. I'd love to have feature requests! Happy to build whatever you folks would like!
