    Vintage Apple Watch?

    Very little information is available on it, but apparently it was made by Apple France in 1989. The case is made of steel, the movement is quartz, and the Apple logo is engraved in the dial. The watch is marked with the engraving “Full steel design by Loret & Estevez”, but upon researching Loret...

    It was a VERY expensive shower…

    Oh well… I guess I need your advice here. I accidentally put my AW 6 SS to the crash test. It failed, understandably. Someone in other thread called Series 6 Space Black “unassuming” — in a sense that it blends in with everything. He was right: it blended with the black fabrics of my outfits...

    Resolved Thinking my Series 7 is dying, and quickly?

    I was playing with the skull memoji, and got up to go to dinner, and the screen was black, wouldn't wake up when I rolled my wrist. Then I saw the Apple (apple) logo, and it stayed on screen for a few seconds, and went black again. It did this over and over. I tried to wake it up, thinking it...

    Is it normal for the sport loop to get narrower towards the ends?

    I know this is my OCD kicking in, but I wanted to ask if it is normal for the band to get slightly narrower at the end. It was quite hard to get off again the first time after putting it on the watch and I‘m afraid I might have damaged sth.

    Why can't Apple Watch Control playback from iPad/Mac?

    We all know how seamlessly Apple Watch works with iPhone, Specifically with Music, Podcasts, etc. integration with the Now Playing app on Apple Watch. I'm aware of accessibility features and the remote app that allow Apple Watch users to control music playback on other devices, but it's so...

    Only need fitness tracking. What's the smallest older AW model that is reliable?

    I'm an old-school mechanical watch guy and can't sacrifice wearing one every day. However, I have also been taking my health a lot more seriously and am finally looking to bite the bullet with an Apple Watch to wear on my right wrist simultaneously. Since double-wristing watches is already...

    Apple Watch Hermes 41mm Included Sport Band Size?

    My S7 Apple Watch Hermes Edition 41mm came with a included S/M orange sports band (the "whats in the box" section does say this). I was wondering if this is the standard norm (41mm = S/M, 45mm = M/L). I just placed a replacement parts order with Apple to get the Black Hermes Sports Band and I...

    Ultra vs Stainless Steel S7/S8

    Needing this thread to talk it out with Apple watch enthusiasts. I said I wouldn't be back after the death of my SS S0, but I'm wanting an Apple watch again. My 7 Plus has finally kicked the bucket and I've been forced to an iPhone 11 (long story, PWM issues, won't repeat here) but surprisingly...

    Apple Watch Ultra on Three network UK

    Hi all! Does anyone have an Apple Watch ultra in the UK on the Three cellular network? I had cellular working on my series 7 but since getting the ultra it has never worked. Been having regular calls with Three who now say it’s a known issue but I’m not sure I believe them. They’ve also told me...

    Hi, I just received my first ever Braided Solo Loop, I tried the Solo loop on in store and did the sizing (ordered 1 size down), well I received my solo loop, attached it to my AW and it feels a little loose, not super tight, but it's not falling off my wrist, compared when I tried it on in...

    Apple Watch Ultra - Heart Rate during runs does not work - spikes and stays high

    I bought the Apple Watch ultra for fitness and specifically running. The heart rate during rest appears to be fine. However, every time I go for a run it will spike to say 170 and stay there for the duration of the run. I tried unpairing, resetting, making sure settings were correct, and the...

    Apple Watch with Android? It's possible, sort of...

    For those 2 or 3 of you wondering if it's possible to use an AW with an Android phone, the answer is sort of. It seems that Apple has been continuously changing the AW's to be more and more independent of their mother phones. Anyway I'm a tinkerer at heart so I decided to give this a go with...

    Future AW-battery

    Hi everybody! The last couple of years I find myself becoming more locked into the apple-ecosystem. And I think that's fine. My last frontier is the AW. Which I probably in the future will acquire for myself. The thing that right now stops me is battery. I have a Garmin 245 Music right now -...

    No notification taps since iOS 16 and whatchOS 9

    Hi everyone, Since I updated my iPhone to iOS 16 and my Apple Watch to watchOS 9, my Watch doesn't tap my wrist upon receiving notifications anymore. The strange thing is that it does show my notifications correctly. But instead, my iPhone vibrates when notifications come in. Having checked all...

    Is it Just Me, or is the Apple Watch Battery Horrible on watchOS 9?

    Ever since I updated my 45mm gold stainless steel Series 7 to watchOS 9, I've had a pretty bad battery issue where it would drain MUCH faster than normal. For example, when tucked away in my Apple Watch box overnight, it would drain over 30% by the time that I get around to wearing it the next...

    Can Leather Link band get wet?

    As the titles says--anyone gotten one of these wet yet and did it live to fight another day? I bought one today because I started using sleep tracking recently and have found the silicone material of the standard bands uncomfortable to sleep in. (I'm possibly a bit allergic to the material, so...
