    Fitness app - Activity Sharing problems

    Hi all, asking here as I’m at my wits end! I’d be interested to see if anyone else has encountered this problem and if they’ve any ideas on how to fix it. I recently changed Apple ID (as Apple doesn’t allow you to change the iCloud email) and in doing so it appears to have broken Apple’s...

    Do you think Watch Series 7 Will Have Glucose Monitoring?

    Rumours suggest that both the Samsung watch this year and the Apple watch are getting glucose monitoring. What do you guys think? Will it happen?

    Did Apple Nerf 3rd party watch chargers??

    A couple days ago we had two apple watches refuse to charge. My wife's went stuck on the apple logo and wouldn't charge at all. Mine did the same and I left it overnight and it wouldn't charge the next day. My wife went and bought a new watch (hers was 3 years old and we just assumed it died)...

    I would like to erase all messages on watch

    Messages on the watch are not removed when deleted on the phone. You can only delete one at a time. Is their some hidden way to erase messages off the watch. Same goes for emails on the watch. I rarely try to read emails on the watch. Does build up of texts and emails eat up memory on watch

    Lefties - how do you wear your watch?

    I'm left handed and I'm used to wear my watch on the right wrist, but with Apple Watch I'm having a hard time to decide how to wear it thanks to the orientation option which I never had with other watches. IMO it looks better with crown on the right side, but using it there feels a bit...

    I am looking for an easy counting app that works on an iWatch series 6. My PT is treating my TMJ and wants me to count how many times I touch my teeth together each day. I would like something I can add as a complication on a watch face and then tap each time I want to add a "clenching." I...

    Walk vs run

    About to try my hand at running now that the weather is warming up and thinking I’ll likely be doing a mix of running and walking until I get my running stamina up. Would you set your workouts to just run, just walk, or would you keep hitting the add button and switching back and forth between...

    Pause vs end, pause vs continuing workout

    Say for example I choose to walk rather than drive to the grocery store to grab a few things. I would start the walk workout and get to briskly stepping, then when I arrive at the grocery store I could either end the workout then start a new one when I leave, or pause and then resume when I...

    Managing silent notifications

    This is probably something that can be set up easily but I'm still new to Apple Watch. I have a very specific way I want to use my watch. I want to have all notifications come to my phone (calls, messages, etc.) and have them delivered silently on my watch. For example, I receive a message on...

    Resolved: Apple Watch won't show incoming calls

    Edit, resolved: Resetting the network settings on the phone fixed this. Not sure which of the other steps were necessary in addition to that. See reply #2 below for details. ----------------------------------------- So, one of the reasons I love the Apple Watch is the ability to take incoming...

    Help me decide between 3 Watches (Slightly unusual use case)

    I need an Apple Watch to use as a viewfinder/camera remote, to help me record videos. My iPhone sits high up in a tripod, so I can’t see what I’m actually filming ?. The health features/fall detection etc. are not important factors in my decision. Options: - Apple Watch Series 3 (38mm) The...

    Itchy Series 6?!?!

    I’ve owned every single Apple Watch since series 0 and I love them! I ALWAYS buy the Nike edition however for some reason, this series 6 Apple Watch is causing uncomfortable itching on my wrist after a few hours of wearing. I don’t wear it too tightly, I’m using the same setting I’ve work on...

    I was upbeat receiving a $90 credit for my old watch series 5... Having ordered it online and then sending the old one back as required, they sent me a message claiming the trade-in value was $0 instead of $90... On what basis did they decide this on a perfectly good watch without any scratches...
