    When will Apple stop releasing new watchOS for S6?

    The Series 6 is probably what would be considered the “baseline” Apple Watch nowadays, meaning the two generations after it were essentially the 6 with minor improvements, the 9+U2 being the first significant update in regards to the processor. It appears that Apple has settled on a 5 year...

    AM/Spotify Issues on S6

    So I might be losing my mind a bit here but I've been noticing that on WatchOS 7.5 Spotify is having this weird issue where I'll start playing music on the phone (iOS 14.6) and the Spotify app will pop up but the app will not keep up with what's playing on my phone. Noticed that even if I just...

    Used cellular SS S5 vs New GPS only aluminum S6? (don’t care for health features)

    As the title says, I’m on the market for an Apple Watch after years ago gave up on series 0 and going back to my mechanicals. I was thinking to get the cheapest I could since I only care about the ability to unlock my iPhone while wearing a mask on the next iOS 14.5 updates. But the AW3 older...

    Apple Watch Series 6 Creaking/Clicking Display Cover.

    Hi everyone! A couple of days ago I purchased a Series 6 44mm Apple Watch in stainless steel. I noticed yesterday that upon adjusting my watch on my wrist it made a audible click and I felt it come from the display underneath my palm. I then wiggled the display from side to side with my fingers...

    series 6 problem with move rings

    I have a series 6 I bought in October. Worked great until about 2.5 weeks ago. Basically the activity rings are over calibrated. I put the watch on and I immediately get an hour of standing. Today I had a exercise ring closed with 30 minutes of being at work. My heart rate is normal too. I’ve...

    Gold/Yellow Gold/Rose Gold watch face color showing up for S6 Gold ALUM

    So I just got myself the Series 6 Gold Aluminum and as I was customizing my watch faces I noticed that Apple unlocked Gold, Yellow Gold AND Rose Gold color options! Understanding from past models, these colors were locked according to the color case you owned, but it seems that they made it...

    Apple watch Series 6 blue tint colour shift at different viewing angles

    Firstly and to be clear I am not trolling or hating on Apple - god knows I own enough of their products ?? With that being said my new Series 6 screen has the same blue tint at angles which the Series 4 had when I tried it at release, this is disappointing but apparently a 'feature' of the...

    Series 5 to Series 6. Yes it’s worth it. Details inside.

    I’ve just gotten my hands on my new Blue 44 Aluminum S6 upgrade to ye olde S5, and what is immediately noticeable is the speed at which webpages load. On my S5 it simply wasn‘t worth the wait. Now I actually feel like I can browse the web on a modern device with modern speeds. Pretty...

    From Series 5 to Series 6 is a huge jump. Details inside.

    I’ve just gotten my hands on my Blue 44 Aluminum S6 upgrade to my S5, and what is immediately noticeable is the speed at which webpages load. On my S5 it simply wasn‘t worth the wait. Now I actually feel like I can browse the web on a modern device with modern speeds. Pretty transformative, but...

    Series 6 - Speaker Volume Too Low During Call?

    I have a Series 6 and when talking on the phone via the watch speaker, the volume is super low on the watch speaker especially when compared to my Series 5 that I have. Has anyone else noticed this issue? I checked all my settings and the volume and alert volume are at max. Also while on the...

    Prosser claims Ill-fitting solo loops/braided loops can be returned independently from watch!

    Earlier today in a tweet, Prosser stated Series 6 and SE owners can now return the solo loops and braided solo loops independently from the watch, so you no longer need to return the entire bundle. Here’s the fun part- If it’s your first Apple Watch order, because these bands are in short...

    New Milanese Loop More Stiff than Usual??

    I purchased the series 6 gold SS with Milanese loop band. I've owned 2 iterations of the Milanese loop and I noticed that this new version seems to be more stiff. It keep developing kinks and needs to be flattened repeatedly. Is anyone else having this problem? I feel like the Milanese loop...

    Apple Watch Trade In

    As the new Apple Watches come we try to get the best out of our old ones. I'm coming from a Stainless Steel Series 4 and upgrading to a Stainless Steel Series 6. I feel like my battery is starting to go and have had the Series 4 since launch. Where do you typically sell your old Apple...

    Apple Watch Series 6 - Buying a Charger - Fast Charge?

    It seems that Apple’s decision not to include a charger with several versions of the Apple Watch Series 6 has completely split opinion to the extent that no amount of debate will change a person’s mind. So that wasn’t the purpose of me posting this thread – they’ve made the decision and if you...

    SPO2 Sleep Monitoring on S6?

    Does anyone know if the SPO2 monitor remains active during sleep? How often does it read the SPO2? I have sleep apnea so this is an intriguing feature for me, but only if it reads often enough to actually be useful information. Thanks in advance!
