It says “6 sleep sessions are needed”. should i wear the watch for 6 nights in a row?

This is my average sleep cycle. I don’t seem to get a lot of ‘deep sleep’ and it seems I wake up in the night, without even remembering. What does your sleep tracking look like? Is it similar to mine?

My love for Apple Watch has only strengthen after testing Garmin Venu 3. I know many switch due to battery capacity of Apple Watch, which I also did for a while. However, I just felt something was missing, especially with its smart features, sync across my apple devices and managing incoming notifications. I am now a proud owner of Apple Watch Series 10.

Anyone else with similar experiences? What is your main reason of sticking to Apple Watch?

I just purchased an SE2 & am planning to camp out at my local Genius Bar all weekend to become more familiar with it.

But before I do that, I have one thing that is really bugging me . . . Apple refuses to believe that I don’t care about Apple Music! I’m quite comfortable using Spotify & I don’t have the time, patience or resources to change music providers now. How can I get It off my watch? TIA

Is there a way to turn off the new “Summarize Previews” on the Apple Watch? I turned it on my iPhone for a bit but turned it off because the AI summarized previews are super inaccurate. However, even though it’s off on my iPhone, my iMessages are still coming through with an AI summary on my watch. I’ve tried Googling and can’t find a way to turn it off on the Apple Watch.

I’m not positive, but I think turning off the “Show Summary When Locked” option just changes it so you only see “Notification” instead of what the notification is about. I’d rather still see my notifications, just as what they actually are and not an inaccurate AI summary of them.

Its the apple watch 9 41mm! Any tips redditors? Very happy with it!

Going to buy the apple se 2 for running and workout proposes as I find it inconvenient to bring my iphone and risk dropping/cracking it. I am thinking about getting the Apple Watch sports band or the Apple Watch sports loop. I want a band that has breathability and comfort, not worried about how long one takes to Drys as I don't swim or sweat that much. Would appreciate recommendations!

I upgraded from the S6 to AWU 2 yesterday and am just noticing that my step count is not accurately reflected in the Health app.

After doing some research, I went to Health > Data Sources & Access and made sure to put the AWU 2 at the very top followed by my current iPhone.

This fixed the issue with today’s inaccurate step count, but now my average steps for the month and for 2024 are WAY off.

Any tips for how to fix this?

I purchased the AW10 few days ago and initially, everything was working great. The ECG feature was performing as expected, but after updating to watchOS 11.1, I’ve noticed the ECG app always shows poor recording. I’ve restarting the watch, made sure my wrist and fingers are dry, watch is tightly tied to my wrist but nothing works. Has anyone else experienced this issue after updating? Any advice on fixes, or should I wait for another update? Thanks!

It has been under two months of using an Apple Watch. I realised that I had been getting little to no deep sleep. On a good day I’d get 15 minutes but on most days it was in the single digits.

I started to work on improving the same. Changes include

1. using dim lights after sunset and dimming the light even further as the evening progresses.
2. Supplement with magnesium glycinate (also tried L theanine and chamomile but they were not as good)
3. Having an intended bedtime and spending the last 60-90 minutes unwinding by either speaking to a loved one, reading a book, watching a show/45 minutes of a movie instead of working till you pass out.

I’ve been getting less than 6 hours of sleep for the last week due to my exams but I’ve never been this mentally clear in years despite sleeping for 8-9 hours. It has improved almost every aspect of my life

Changes that I wish to make going forward:

1. Weight training more regularly
2. Doing stretches before sleep
3. Having a warm shower before bed

Curious to hear your thoughts

Have the AW10 and run. I love double tap - it’s way more handy than I thought it would be, however,

The main circumstance where I really want it, it doesn’t work!

When running I want to view different data screens and the touch screen or crown are too fiddly while running. It would be perfect to be able to double tap through the data screens but alas, no double tap support!

Apple, when?

I’m looking for other bands besides what apple has. Any suggestions, looking for an orange or blue band & Black band.

Does anybody experience this as well? I would sometimes notice a resting heart rate on my Apple Watch that was posted the day before to be revised the following day when seen on my iPhone. It’s like revising historical accounts and this makes me annoyed.

I'm really sorry if this has been asked before! But I'm having a hard time believing it. Feels like the second i dunk it, it will sizzle or drown the mic or something. i just got this watch and am loving it for workouts. I also swim laps and would really like to wear it if i can, but unsure if it's worth the risk. Any thoughts about this are welcome.

Thanks!

What colour are the 2 circled, and do they come in the solo loop band?

Thanks guys!

Anyone else think that the new music haptics feature would be a great addition to the apple watch? I have a metronome app that vibrates my watch to the beat for playing my guitar and piano. I think I'd get more use from the feature if I didn't have to hold the phone the whole time.

I just got a new iPhone and my phone will no longer vibrate or light up when I get a notification if my watch is on. I had this issue a few years ago and between Google and settings I can’t figure it out.

All day today both vibrated and lit up when I got a notification. New phone synced and it won’t work.

IM GOING CRAZY!! Please help

So i'm thinking about getting the Casetify bounce odyssey watchband because it makes your watch look like a G-Shock watch. For the people that own one, does it still work? Because the new watchOS update made the face work different will it still work?

Hello,

I am going to be moving from a Fitbit Sense and. Pixel 8 Pro to an Apple Watch and iPhone.

Any advice, experiences, things to know, etc for a user switching from Fitbit?

I've been using Fitbit for 3 years. I run between 3-6 miles per day. I use the Fitbit app and Lose It to track calories.

I'm looking for some best practices, what to expect and look for, etc.

Thanks for any help!

Walmart is having an early Black Friday sale ($50 off each), so I purchased 2x Apple Watch S10 42mm!

We haven't used Apple Watches since S2... so it's going to be quite intriguing.

I have had an Apple Watch for as long as they've been available and I recently got one for my son to replace his smart watch. This is my first GPS (edit: cellular)watch and I'm finding it disappointing. Its main purposes are to give him a way to contact myself or my parents if there's a problem and especially if someone doesn't meet him at the bus or pick him up after activities, and to keep an eye on his location for similar reasons. However it often doesn't know where he is. Today when I go to Find My, it shows he was at home 23 hours ago. I know he has it with him and he's been at my parents and possibly on outings with them all day. Meanwhile his iPad (wifi only) knows exactly where it is (also at my parents'). Last week similarly there was a day that I needed to confirm if he had gotten on the bus and when I checked it also had not updated location in 18+ hours. Is this normal? Is it possible we got a bad watch or missed a setting? I have parental controls set up on his account (mostly for his iPad) but the watch should still track location during downtime or when his screen time is up, right? His iPad seems to.

Translating from 2 minutes to 7 hours and 55 minutes

Hi - ever since the latest watch update (series 6 watch), my iPhone now has text alerts/ringing when I'm wearing the watch, and I prefer to only have alerts on the watch while I'm working. I have googled, searched Reddit, read through Apple forums, and tried multiple setting changes in both the watch and phone to no avail. I know I can just silence the phone, but that's annoying in itself as I will most likely forget to un-silence. Just want it back to the way it was. Anyone have any insight or tips? Thanks so much!

Hi! I'm pretty new to owning an apple watch and hoping someone can help me out. I'm getting the 42mm S10 and planning to also get a custom leather watch band. The watch band maker is asking me for the lug width. I haven't gotten my watch yet so couldn't measure.

Based on research, it doesn't state on the apple site but it's supposed to be the same lug width as old 38/41 watches? So I think it's 22mm?? Can someone help/ confirm? Thank you so much!

Ok so I bought an apple watch (first time smart watch owner) with the thought of it being an companion device for my phone. I really just wanted to have a more physically-readily available substitute for my phone while I’m at work. I started a new job where I’m pretty active but I also need a direct line of communication on me at all times. I bought this watch thinking it would add/ help me in the following ways

1. Allow me to see my google maps route from my wrist so I’m not holding my phone in one hand driving my work vehicle in the other.

2. Keep up with work related group chats so I don’t have to constantly pull my phone out of my pocket.

3. Keep a more reliable step count since there are times when I don’t have my phone on me (if I leave it in the car, or it’s charging)

After having my watch for a couple days now I’ve realized that

A.) Apple doesn’t want me using google maps so they intentionally don’t allow a Birds Eye view of the map via google maps. Only on apple maps can I get the birds eye view (I should have seen that coming. I’ll take the L on that one).

B.) I can in fact look at texts/ get a reliable sense of “do I need to look at my phone right now” awesome. Apple watch checks that box

C.) so apparently there isn’t a straight up corresponding health app on my watch that directly communicates with my phone to accurately account for the steps I’ve taken? My phone keeps track of my steps via the health app. My watch keeps track of my steps via the fitness app/ activity rings. Yet there is no direct communication between these apps/ devices? Am I doing something wrong here?

I get that a lot of the appeal an apple watch holds is in the fitness/work out tracking and that’s cool that there is an audience of people that utilize the watch to its fullest potential I’m just afraid I bought something that doesn’t cover the bases I was expecting it to. I completely admit I’m not the type who wants to fully catalog every calorie burned or every second I was working out maybe I just bought something that’s not for me. I kinda just want to better understand or utilize this watch that I bought. If anyone could provide some insight, especially into the step count thing that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So l want to pull the trigger on a S10 however l am trying to see if Cdiscount offered any promotion during black friday 2023 on S9 or 2022 on the S8.

Any French people here who may have an idea?
