    Watch Face for Toddler?

    What solution does everyone use when you have a toddler that likes to touch the watch face? I've been using water mode or the Photos Face. I wish they had a "Child Mode" where they could move things on the watch screen, but it didn't change anything.

    Should I buy an Apple Watch

    So I’ve have several Apple watches over the years. I actually had the Pebble before too. I don’t use any of the “key features” and use the watch solely for notifications and to see who is calling without taking out my phone. The notifications have always been buggy, arriving several seconds, or...

    Is Apple Manipulating Battery Health?

    I have seen mention of this topic on iPhones, but I wonder if the battery health figure is reliable on the Watch. My S4 (used almost daily for close to four years) has seen a slow but steady decline in battery health but stayed at a constant 87% since the last watchOS update (os 8). However...

    When Apple Stores will have Apple watch 8

    So just went to the local Apple Store and they said they are out of stock for Apple watch 8. Checking Apple website, it says all nearby stores are also out of stock. When a product launches, how long after the launch, you can go to the store and buy the product? Delivery right now is Oct 17.

    Watch Ultra on Verizon

    Verizon doesn't have preorders until Friday just like the iPhone 14, but does anyone know how the Cellular thing is going to work with them? Will Verizon have the option to be GPS only? Just curious since the Ultra is GPS and/or Cellular.

    Apple Watch Ultra looks like stand alone dive computer. No air integration?

    This was a natural evolution. I wondered why it took so long. Oceanic is a great company. My wife used proplus dive computer for many years However it looks like version 1 is really only a backup dive computer. Without wireless air integration (typically done with a dongle on the high pressure...

    Replacing Apple Watch battery

    I have an old Series 5 that I use a backup watch to my primary. The battery dies fairly quickly. It's probably not worth much to sell, and Apple charges $299 to replace the battery, which is more than it's worth. There are battery replacement kits on Amazon for like $30. I've repaired many Apple...

    Watch gave heart rate reading while on table.

    I’ve noticed for awhile when I’m sleeping the green lights of my watch come on on my bedside table and the battery drains fast than I’d say stand by should. To solve this I usually turn it off. Today I went the gym and didn’t wear my watch. When I came home and my phone came into proximity it...
