Gold, Graphite, Silver all available

$449 (not including taxes) for SS with milanese loop! only $50 more compared to sports band, think this is best deal I've seen for brand new item that is still eligible for Apple Care!!

I have been in the market for a SS AW8 and ordered twice from Amazon just to receive silver aluminum on mail from same seller... can't believe it happened twice, makes me think they are doing it on purpose!!

I'm happy to buy this rather than worry about the refurbished items and how to get support on it etc... I'll keep the SS until I see what the new 10 is like, then maybe upgrade in 2-3 years lol

PS: I think it's funny they are advertising AW8 Aluminum as "$300 off" and SS as "$100 off" LOL clearly the base price for SS is much higher...

Title pretty much sums it up. I was born without a left hand so pretty much wrote off these gadgets. Is this new way of using it worth me shelling out the $$$? Obviously the device has a lot of useful tools I would be very interested in using…if it doesn’t involve having an awkward moment every time.

Thoughts from those of you that are using it?

Is there a way to set the standalone cellular Watch as the default for a person in FindMy? Right now it thinks my iPad is me and they have to go to devices tab to find the watch location I am sharing.

I may be using some incorrect terminology, but on the Modular Ultra face I have it disclosing the seconds.

Well after about 15 seconds they disappear presumably because the watch is gong into some battery-saving yet still always on mode.

Is there any way to extend this 15 second period to say a minute?

Having a similar issue on the Wayfinder face where I’d like it to show the compass a little longer than the 15 second default.

Hi, I have a shortcut to control my Philips hue lights. My shortcut works perfectly on my iPhone. However when I try to run it from my Apple Watch it says read/write operation failed. Does anyone knows how to fix it?

I find it annoying that when listening or watching something this screen is the default screen when waking up the watch. I want it to be the regular watch face. Anyway to many of stop?

Just realised that my workouts are showing what I assume are significantly over inflated periods of time spent in zone 5. This was a simple 10k run. Checking through other workouts it seems to be similar. I know it says it’s an estimate but how can it be that wrong?

Hi, I cannot find the solution to this issue : My Apple Watch is set to NOT track sleep. When I go to bed I go to night mode (so does my iPhone). Despite that from time to time in the middle of the night I see the green light of the heart tracking. Any ways to prevent this ? Thanks !

I have an Apple Watch 9 and I usually walk daily or do cardio but when I’m in my thread mill it keeps saying that message and it’s annoying. My bpm is over 120 when I work out and maybe it’s something wrong with my Apple Watch. Did y’all also encounter this?

thanks for help 🙏

I’ve only managed to find one company making a wider band which I much prefer, but their options are still limited. Anyone got any leads on wider bands that work with the 41mm?

.

So I had a scheduled battery replacement today that resulted in me not getting it back because they started working on it, then realized they had to order the new battery (don't ask me how, I don't know and I just spent 3 hours waiting... Long story).

Now I have a 14 Plus over the weekend until they get the new battery and replace it for me. I want to pair my watch, but how does that work when setting up for a new phone?

Will my watchfaces, settings etc. carry over? When I receive my regular phone, will this set up and be exactly as it was before? I don't want to do anything until I know if I have to start over with the new device, then over once again on my regular iPhone. I'll just not use the AW if that's the case.

Did anyone else watch stop recording temp during and after this update? I haven’t changed a thing to the sleep focus and schedule!

Had to update to 10.4 due to ghost touches making my watch unusable, 16 hours after charging my watch is now at 54%. I was getting 3-4 days of battery life previously. How’s 10.4 treating everyone else?

Why am I still getting emails when I have the app set to notifications off. Is there a way to not get any emails at all?

I have bought a locked apple watch a few months ago and its been sitting in my drawer ever since. Can I sell it for parts? Activation locked apple watches cannot be unlocked so I am trying to get at least some value from it.

Loving My new Apple Watch Band!!!!

Anyone using it for sports? Does the watch stay in place? Any danger of the band opening up while exercising?

I am having an issue for the last year that I just cannot resolve. I am on the Meridian face and have two complications setup. They are temperature and wind speed. I cannot get this to work. I keep getting two dashes (--) for both wind speed and temperature. I have the latest OS which thought might fix it it has not. When I click on the dashes it brings up the weather app on the watch with the correct weather information. What else could be causing this issue. Its driving me crazy.

I couldn’t get it to focus well, so sorry for the blurry picture. But my watch has been charging only to 75% overnight. And then the charging circle shows this weird line like going into the numbers? Has anybody else seen this before? This is a series 6 btw

I use my Series 4 (WatchOS 10.3.1) for sleep tracking and wearing at work, and it was my daily until last September when I got a Series 9.

The issue is that recently, there have been a few nights where it has died during sleep tracking, even at a full charge when put on just before bed. The battery life isn't great anymore due to its age, but on other nights, it is usually okay with 50-70% remaining, and can still last a 10-hour shift at work.

Last night, however, I put it on at 100%, and after about a minute, it was unresponsive on a black screen. It wouldn't respond to buttons, so I held both down to reset the watch. Only two minutes after being taken off its charger at 100%, it booted back up with only 10% battery left, and I put it back on charge overnight and wore the S9 to bed.

The battery health is 80% (it dropped 4% in the last couple of weeks) and has around 1,150 charge cycles. Is the battery failing?

I've recently started using the watch to track my workouts but I'm finding when I take a rest and want to look at my progress, I'm faced with this alert screen telling me I'm leaving zone 130 or whatever.

I know what training zones are, but I'm not interested in being told by my watch. I'm not a professional athlete or anything.

Is there a way to turn them off?

I’m in an annoying work group chat and some of the people working graveyard shift can’t stop sending messages and I’ve started using the hide alerts option on my Apple watch and it’s been working fine until a couple days ago. Even with the hide alerts option on, the messages are still coming through and I’m still getting notifications from it! It works fine on my iPhone it just stopped working on the Apple Watch. For reference I’m actually enabling the hide alerts option on my Apple Watch itself and not just using the mirror notification from iPhone by going to messages on the watch, swiping left on the group chat and selecting the hide alerts option (an bell icon with a line through it just like on the iPhone) and it even shows the logo that the group text is muted but it just stopped working outta nowhere. This is very frustrating.
