apple watch 4

    Can anyone tell me by looking if my screen is dead or the cable loose?

    As in the title, my Apple Watch recently started doing this (see video). Occasionally the screen looks perfect and works that way but its getting more and more infrequent. A new screen is probably more than the watch sadly, has anyone seen this before? Thanks, Dave

    Apple Watch dead after swimming

    Hi All, I bought my series 4 in December 2019 (from Currys UK) and took it swimming in the pool for the first time last week (I’ve always felt hesitant about getting it wet). I started a swim workout which water locked the device and after no more than 15 minutes in the pool I looked at the...

    Fitness+ Fitness+ not recording full workouts

    I've been using Fitness+ using my Apple Watch Series 4, iPhone 12, and AppleTV 4K (all with the latest software) since December and haven't had any issues - until recently. For the last few weeks whenever I do a workout, almost always a HIIT workout, it drops between 2 and 4 minutes from being...

    What do you do with your Apple Watch?

    Hello All, I've had an Apple Watch since the launch of the original, since then I've moved to S3 and next month I plan to move again to a S6. When people who aren't as up to speed with Apple and Technology in general ask me what I use it for I just reply with "It is a luxury convenience" - This...

    Please Help, Horrible digital static noise from walkie talkie

    Please help. This problem started today (7/24/19). The walkie talkie app was working (and sounding) just fine all day yesterday. All of a sudden this morning when my wife attempted to receive a walkie talkie from me, this noise happened (see video). I was sending the walkie talkie from a quiet...

    iPhone 6(S)/Plus iPhone/Watch podcasts and wireless audio in the car?

    Hi All, I have a couple of things I’m considering with my iPhone 6(regular one not S or +), an Apple Watch I am considering buying, and podcasts (I use the standard Apple Podcasts app on my phone). I would like to control my podcasts on my phone while in the car with the Apple Watch...

    AW4: Workout says 200% move goal, but revoked after workout ended.

    This has happened twice now, that I've noticed. After an hour and a half riding a trainer, I get the 'summary' after the 'workout' is turned off, it triumphantly tells me 'You doubled your move goal!', only to have the ring retreat back over the 200% mark, and end up, the first time, in the...

    Why is the AW4 the only Apple product that requires a MFi certification for Qi chargers?

    Given the recent AirPower disaster, I'm now still looking for a decent charger mat that is also compatible with the AW4. If I understand it correctly, the AW4 is the only Apple Qi product that requires a MFI certified charger. Isn't that a bit weird? And: Is there a list of officially supported...

    Apple Watch 3 mistake?

    I don’t own an Apple Watch yet but see they are $259 for the 42mm GPS version on Amazon and Best Buy. I don’t need the heart monitor on the 4 and none of the other features on the 4, while nice are not enough to draw another nearly $200 out of my wallet. I feel $250 is a great deal for a series...

    Good day to all! Are you experiencing this too? I think this is a bug. Apple watch showing photos in the about section even though the settings in the watch app on my iPhone is set to "favorites" which is 0 photos. If I open the photos app on the apple watch is just says "No Photos To sync...

    Anyone else affected by screen bleed/uneven tint on Series 4? [MERGED]

    I’m surprised this issue isn’t being talked about here. Basically, a lot of people on Reddit have noticed that their series 4 models have uneven screens where one side looks brighter than the other. My series 4 is also affected by this. :( Here’s one such thread (there are quite a few though)...

    5.1 Bricked Watch - Apple Logo screen burn-in?

    My watch tried to update to 5.1 on its charger, was bricked, and the Apple logo remained on the screen for ~8 hours. Should I be worried about OLED screen burn-in?

    Watch on charger - random "Animated Charge icon shows up" often

    So far the AW 4 is working fine - when it's on my wrist. But when it's charging the animated green "lightning bolt with circle" will show up at random times, no rhyme or reason. This has been going on for a week plus now. But this ALSO seems to trigger the rear green light sensor. This will...

    Siri on AW4 stopped working completely after 5.0.1 update

    I was running watchOS 5.0 on my AW4, and it worked like a charm. However, ever since I updated to 5.0.1, Siri has become totally non-functional, may that be the "Listen for Hey Siri," "Raise to Speak," or even just long pressing the crown. It directly goes to "Hold on..." and stays there and...

    Prospective New Apple Watch buyer. S3 or S4?

    Ive never owned an Apple Watch. I want to buy the base gps model. I definitely see the AW4 is a little better than the AW3. However, being on a budget I like how I can get the AW3 42 for only $309 vs $429 for the AW4. I’m young and in great health so not too concerned about the newer fall and...
