It’s the little things :)

Recently used apps are back! Always missed this in os27

I do not have AppleCare+ because I am a colossal idiot who thought I could baby it 24/7. I could only baby it 23/7. The 24th hour I took a shower and watched, in slow motion from behind the fogged glass, as she jumped up by the sink, made intentional, pointed eye contact, flicked out an orange foot, and walloped that shit directly into the tiled half-wall.

Are there any sub $250 fixes? Is it possible to find a screen repair or does the whole unit need to be replaced, essentially? Does anyone want a cat? Apple Watch 11. Female Maine Coon. Limited coverage until Aug. 27th. Cat is vaccinated.

edit: you can register a device to applecare+ up to 60 days after its purchase - it has been exactly 61 days since i purchased the watch. FORTUNATELY, i could get applecare+ coverage for my new replacement airpod pros, select the multi-device plan, and add my watch from there. thank you everyone!!

For people who keep Wi-Fi turned on, how long does the battery last?

As you know, watchOS 27 removed the app drawer from the digital crown. Today I realized it is possible to open the app drawer on watchOS 27. I’m not sure if anyone has noted this, but holding your finger on the lower part of the screen while running any app opens it, so it looks like Apple have brought it back with watchOS 27.2 or it remained since the watchOS 27 release.

Just picked up this Hermès Gold Swift leather Single Tour and added it to my band collection!

My Apple Watch has the older 41mm case, and unfortunately, the newer 42mm connectors don’t fit perfectly. They stick out slightly on both sides, which really bothers me.

It took me quite a while to track down a brand new 41mm version, but I finally found one!

I also really like Swift leather. Compared to Barénia, it tends to retain its original color rather than developing a patina over time, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Upgraded from the Series 7 to the Series 12, and wow, what a difference!

The battery lasts almost two days, and everything feels crazy fast and buttery smooth.

Such a noticeable upgrade 👍🏻

Weekly? Monthly? Yearly? Never?

Got diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago and started on Vyvanse (Lisdexamfetamine). It’s "cool" to see how clearly the Apple Watch captured the exact transition day

Resting Heart Rate: Jumped and triggered a 12-week higher trend alert
Cardio Fitness (VO2 Max): Took a nosedive

On my usual runs, paces that used to feel like an easy warm-up now send my HR through the roof like I’m in a full sprint

For those taking Vyvanse or similar stimulants: did your heart rate/VO2 eventually stabilize, and how did you manage to bring your RHR back down and rebuild cardio?

Been in Singapore the last weeks and got myself the new AW12 and the braided solo loop for a very good price. I had a AW7 before and I am so happy about the upgrade. The battery life is incredible!

I put on a screen protector and it does its job pretty well!

New update to the bezel to display readiness score on Ultra bezels.

I’ve been improving in my training for over a year, but it always shows exactly 65, with no variation at all.

When I exchanged it I got another 2 weeks to decide if I want to keep it. so I can get black again just not sure if I prefer it

It started during the end of the betas so I just waited until it released and installed immediately yesterday.

I have rebooted my watch several times. Not gonna do a factory reset cause then I have to wait even more days.

Got a call with Apple support at 12:30 today but idk what they can do.

Obviously the readiness score comes from overnight vitals/sleeping with it, but if I have an 8 sleep bed which should give more accurate sleep data could the watch/os use that data to build a readiness score through the health app? I am looking at the Ultra 4 coming from a series 10 but don't want to sleep with the ultra.

Hi guys , well im using magnetic silicon band for a week now but its completely peace of sh… it gets sweats constantly every second im wearing it. Any suggestions ? I'm stuck between these two models. Alumu A11 / Spigen wbf1 .

1. 41mm pink series 9 gps + Hermes rose Mexico attelage double tour(40mm)
   
2. 45mm (product)red series 9 gps+cel + Hermes noir single tour(45mm)
   
3. 44mm silver titanium series 5 + ruby (product)red classic buckle(42mm)
   
4. 44mm space black titanium series 5 + peacock leather loop(44mm)

P.S. this question is purely about aesthetic choice not everyday performance.
P.P.S. Apple please bring leather back

My watch vibrates for certain alerts and dings for others. Even when I put it on silent mode, it won’t vibrate for all my alerts. I especially wanted to vibrate for motion detection alerts for my office cameras but it won't. How do I change this?

On my brand new Apple Watch Ultra 4. Just incredible.

This used to be one of the main things I used my Apple Watch for. Now it can no longer set timers by voice.

Connected my Series 9 to See Stella to look at my sleep and activity with my skin scans.
Still figuring out whether patterns in the numbers line up with what I see in the mirror or if it's BS.

I think the Series 12 has more frequent heart-rate and HRV readings, plus a readiness score (Whoop-esque...). Anyone upgraded from a 9 and found that data useful, or is it mostly telling you what you already know?

Also keen to hear from anyone who’s tracked their skin next to their Watch data. Noticed anything consistent?

This is my third watch.
I clean it regularly, every day when I bathe.
With my first watch, I used to get an imprint burn on my wrist.
Why is this happening?
I would really appreciate it if people wouldn’t give me snarky/trolling comments or “answers”.

I’m requesting this because I have been having a severe dermatological outbreak on my body for the past two months.
I have an appointment with a dermatologist in a week or two.
I’m just trying to see if anyone has any answers for me.

Thank you in advance if you do.🖤

Edit:
There are several other SEVERE spots (lesions) on my body, where my Apple Watch isn’t located.

So far I have setup iMessages I can receive and send text my problem is will not show up as a notification on the front screen of the he watch , by the way I receive emails on from screen any help would be appreciated
