    As pocket watch

    Disabling passcode also disables Apple Pay. And in a pocket most sensors will become redundant. That’s fine. Anything else I will be missing?

    I split my time between USA and Switzerland, and I would like to buy an Apple Watch Ultra 2 with Cellular service, which will work in both regions. I noticed that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 that is available both on the European and Americas markets is the same model: Model A2986. However, the...

    Series 9 "Noise Suspended"

    I've been having this issue with Apple Watch Series 9 since October. I use the Noise complication and I particularly like the large version (although the small version has the same issue). I started noticing soon after buying my Series 9 that the Noise complication would often be greyed out when...

For the first time this week, his competition status is always showing 0 points on my end, and my competition status is showing 0 points on his end. We can see...

    Nov 2023 update - nothing helpful!

    So I just updated the software for my Apple Watch and now the easy to use items have become less so! All my pre-set timers? Gone. Try to summon your phone… it used to take a swipe and a click, now you better allow 1-3 minutes and it’s increasingly obnoxious! What were they thinking?!

    watchOS 10 & Notifications (Swipe Down)

    watchOS 10 has been a bit rocky on my Series 6. I've been having an odd bug where I often cannot swipe down on my watch to view the notifications center (incidentally, nor can I swipe up to get to widgets, although the crown still works to get there). I can open apps, and operate everything...

    Wife's podcasts on my Watch

    My wife's podcasts are cluttering up my Watch. What's strange is that they don't show up on my iPhone, but are constantly downloaded on my Watch, and she follows about ten podcasts. We have the family plan but she is registered under her unique Apple ID. I was at a Genius Bar the other day...

    I just got my first Apple Watch (Series 9 45mm midnight aluminum GPS+cellular). I noticed that while on cellular with my iPhone 15 turned off I cannot send SMS or receive notifications for 3rd party messaging apps. Messages come, but I must manually check. Is this true for everyone? Also...

    I am looking for a 3 in 1 charger for my iPhone and watch. Problem is the iPhone has an otterbox case. So what charger has fast charging for iPhone and watch and supports a strong enough magnet to hold the iPhone with an otterbox protection case.

    Watch Bands recommended?

    I just got my Series 8 on sale from Target and I like to collect Apple Watch bands, so I was wondering which bands to get. I am planning to get the Sport Loop, as I heard that was comfortable. If you have a comfortable band that you'd recommend, feel free to reply. Here are the bands I have...

    Apple Watch spontaneously rebooted

    Today while I was at the gym, my Apple Watch Series 9 running watchOS 10.0.2 spontaneously rebooted itself. I looked down at to start a workout and saw the white Apple logo instead of the watch face. I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced anything like this. It's the first time it has...

    GPS and back track issues

    I received Ultra 2 watch Friday and it has never displayed latitude /longitude - just dashes instead. I also see no indicator to show direction on back track feature. I spent an hour and a half with Apple support, including diagnostics with no success. Anyone else having this issue?

    iPhone 13 Pro Apple Maps doesn’t count down distance when navigating

    When you put in a location to navigate to it doesn’t count down the distance to the next turn etc. like it used to (I’m on the latest update). I’m on holiday in Vietnam and using my watch for maps a lot, and it’s annoying having to constantly check my watch as I don’t know how far I am from...

    iMessages intermittently delivered

    My watch hasn't been delivering iMessages to my watch reliably for the past year. All other notifications are delivered normally but sometimes an iMessage won't be delivered to my watch. Strangely, the notification centre on my watch will mirror that of my iPhone, only the iPhone having the...
