Hello,

During a recent medical check-up, I discovered that I have an arrhythmia, and the doctor also mentioned that my stress levels are quite high. This inspired our team, specializing in machine learning, to develop an iOS app that can measure heart rate, HRV, and other vital signs using image recognition technology. The app aims to detect and monitor conditions like arrhythmia and high stress.

We believe that measurements taken with a smartwatch, such as the Apple Watch, would be more accurate. Therefore, we are especially interested in hearing from Apple Watch users about your experiences and needs.

We are currently in the product design phase and would love to gather your input and suggestions. Your feedback will directly influence the features we develop. We will carefully read and consider every response. Here is a format you can follow for your reply, you can also speak freely.:

1. Your age
2. The health metrics you are most concerned about
3. What problems you hope an app can solve
4. The features you expect or would like to see in the app

Thank you very much for your participation and support!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Recommend me some very useful Apple Watch apps that you can’t go a day without!

So does anyone else’s Apple Watch not click with the sport band when you slide it in? Like it just slides all the way through without hearing that “click”. Is this just me?

Previously had the Series 7. After some battery issues on the Series 7 and seeing the $100 discount (I also had gift card credit from my birthday!) I decided to pull the trigger on it. Any tips or things I should know for the new watch?

My AW6 battery is at 81% and won't make it through a 16 hour day if I use it to track a workout. I just bought a new AW9 during Prime Day, so that'll take over as my daytime watch. I'd like to set up the AW 6 to do nothing but track my sleep. Ideally, it'll always be in Theater/Sleep Mode. I want to be able to put it on when I go to bed without having to fiddle with it. My AW9 will then go on the charger until morning. I know the watch will detect that it's being used, i.e., that it is now the active watch. I just don't want it to make any noise at all when I put it on. I've seen that Theater mode stays on until you turn it off, but sleep mode seems to turn itself off after 8 hours or so. If I set it to sleep mode at night and sleep more than 8 hours, sleep mode is off when I check it.

So is there a way to turn my AW6 into a dedicated sleep tracker? I should say that I don't care about alarms. I use my iPhone if I need an alarm.

I'm Japanese from Japan.I couldnt find someone in the same situation in Japan , so im gonna ask you guys .

Sorry for my terrible English.

Hi everyone, I just got my new Apple Watch S9 (GPS) 45mm two months ago. Up until yesterday, I would always charge my watch in the evening before I put it one before bed. I have sleep mode on, so when I wake up in the morning there's usually about 91-92% battery left.

Yesterday, I noticed before I even charged it in the evening that the battery had started depleting quicker and was nearly at 0 (it's usually about 15% left before I charge it). Then after charging it to 100%, I woke up this morning to find it down to 75%.

I haven't changed any settings, updated anything,or done anything else whatsoever, so I'm not sure what's causing this all of a sudden and what i can do to fix it. Battery health is at 100.

Bought an apple watch SE 2 a few days back to gather data on my runs. Used the pacer feature and i’m delighted to share that i set a new PR on my first run with the watch!

Hi, can any Apple Watch Ultra users who have picked up a metal band please share their recommendations when it comes to brands? I’m looking into buying a metal band for my Ultra and seeing either cheap stuff on Amazon (like $30) or super expensive stuff like from Nomad ($200). I’m fine pursuing the cheapest options if someone could vouch for their quality, but I doubt they’re good/last a long time. Any recommendations? Hopefully ones that have stood up to the test of time. For reference, this is what I’m currently looking at:

I wash mine regularly but never let it soak. It’s a 2019 band with nearly daily wear and while it doesn’t look exactly as bright as the internal band it now looks much brighter than before.

Note: on this day, I didn’t miss an hour, and there aren’t any dead pixels. The 3:00pm hour is simply blank for no reason. It looks like this every day when I close my Stand ring.

I don't know if this is new here, but I found out recently when installing watchOS 11 Public Beta and I was very happy!

Now you can activate Night Shift, just ask Siri.

And the best: it detects sleep automatically, without having to set up schedules or activate sleep mode! For two nights the tracking has been perfect.

I've got series 7 41mm and I was wondering if you can swim with it in Baltic sea? Kinda worried that I'll destroy mine.

Just comment when you claim it.

So I tried to do the name drop with my Apple Watch and phone and not only is it not working, but the Apple Watch’s screen glitches and goes black every time I try it. I’ve restarted it (holding down crown and side button til the logo reappears) and it didn’t solve it. Along with the other problems I’ve been facing, I might trade it in cause this is ridiculous.

I know all the basic functions of my S9 and shortcuts and all of that. But are there any secret tips or tricks you wanna share that maybe we don’t know, that the AW can do. 😃

I’ve seen so many posts on here about users’ watches completely shutting off after taking it in some water. And this is super frustrating since even the launch of the Apple Watch, Apple has advertised that (while not water proof) users can wear the watches in water and not worry about anything. It even has swimming workouts yet for some reason, people’s watches keep shutting off after only one or two short swims. It definitely doesn’t help that the warranty won’t cover water damage.

Do you think Apple will work on improving this for the Apple Watch SX/10?

Does the Apple Watch Ultra 2 only have sporty bands? I kinda want another band to wear at dinners etc. I was hoping that they would have milanese loops for AWU2 aswell or a link metallic silver armband :( There’s a website in my country that has them but idk if they will make the sensor and more less reliable? Also they were cheap compared to Apples own armbands.

I've been eyeing this band for awhile and I finally went to buy it but it seems to be discontinued.

Anyone know where else I can buy one? I can't find any on ebay.

I think my favorite feature is being able to quickly pause music/videos while at work

I would like to know about the accuracy of measuring caloric expenditure during strength training on an Apple Watch. Today, I worked out for 75 minutes, and my watch said I burned 750 calories. When I work out for 60 minutes, my expenditure is around 500-600 calories. Is this accurate?

Hi guys I have an Apple Watch Series 4 and just found that Apple won’t support it for their new OS. I don’t consider to buy a new one in the next 2 years because I like mine and it suits me well. So is it safe to use an Apple Watch with outdated OS or I should consider buying a new watch?

So, to better describe what I am trying to accomplish, I want to change the face of my watch to one of the Activity faces when I get to work, and then, as I hike the stairs throughout the day, my movement and exercise rings fill up (as well as standing, but not worried about that one). I also want this to set the face back to my normal default (turn off the focus mode) once all 3 rings are closed.

I have easily figured out how to set it to the face with the focus mode to the Activity face when I get to work, that was the easy part. I am wondering if it is even possible to have a focus mode turned off the way I described (when all activity rings close). Any thoughts?

I noticed recently that the Virtual Keypad app is no longer on my Apple Watch nor available to install. The Virtual Keypad app is used to set one’s home security system remotely. It was handy to have on my watch. Any insights as to why it’s no longer available? Or anyone know how to put it back on my Apple Watch? (Apple Watch Series 7)

Hi, so I just bought Series 9. I paired it with my iCloud and everything worked, but the built-in app is not installed and I can't download it from the App Store!

I can download other apps, though, but not the built-in one.

I tried to reset it, I removed all my old phones that use the App Store and iCloud from the settings. I stopped the auto-updates, and still, nothing works. I don't know what to do anymore.
