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!!

Pensé mucho en conseguir la de 46 mm ya que venía de un SE 1 de 44 mm pero sentía que estaba muy grande para mi muñeca, no quería sentir que me quedaría muy pequeña una pantalla de 42mm hasta que comparé el tamaño de pantalla, prácticamente un 44mm tiene el mismo tamaño de uno de 42mm, la mejor decisión

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!

I wanted to offer my first impressions of the Ultra 4 and the Series 12 Ti in case there is anyone like me who is considering one or both. I purchased them both with the intention of only keeping one. I've had them for a little over 24 hours so don't have much experience with them yet.

I come from years of wearing mechanical watches, mostly in the 38-40mm range. I've always loved traditional watches, but I feel it's time to switch it up and take advantage of some smart features around my lifestyle. I've worn an Apple Watch years ago, but I won't really be able to compare these to older models. This post is probably for someone looking to get their first in either line.

I will mostly just be taking about feel. I think most people reading this already know the specs, battery life, etc. For reference, I have a ~7in wrist. Also, I got both in the Milanese Loop for both, which I think works extremely well for both.

AWU 4

This thing looks so cool to me. Looks just as cool, toolsy, and sporty in person as it does in pictures. The looks is what initially drew me towards the Ultra. The flat screen with defined edges is so nice. The Ultra-exclusive watch faces are also so nice and what really completes it for me. I typically wouldn't go for a watch this size, but I really do love this screen, and the watch as a whole, to make the jump. I think you either really love the aesthetic of the case or you don't. The action button is a really nice bonus, but I don't think I would feel lost without it.

The Ultra definitely is a presence on your wrist. Especially if you've never worn a smart sports watch like an Ultra or a large Garmin, it will probably feel like a little bit of a shock at first. I am at least used to having some weight on my wrist, and I feel myself already getting used to the size. I even slept with it last night. It's impossible to not notice it when going to sleep, but once asleep, I was able to stay asleep without it bothering me. This is also something that will feel more natural with time I believe.

AW S12 Ti

This one is sooo sleek. If budget allows and you are set on the S12, I strongly recommend getting the Titanium. It looks so premium and versatile. I wouldn't hesitate wearing it to a more formal setting. I am not sure I can say the same about the Ultra as much as I love it. The slim, light profile really does kind of disappear on your wrist. If you don't want to feel like you're wearing a watch, this watch will make you happy, and as I mentioned above, I think the versatility is its other really big strength. I plan to sleep with this one tonight, and I don't think I'll be thinking about it being on my wrist much at all, especially after a successful night with the Ultra.

Here's a little bit of a kicker: I am trying out the 42mm rather than the 46. Personal taste, I just really appreciate the understated look when it comes to this watch. I'm not sure if it's due to the rounded screen or what, but I just like the smaller size in the S12. So I am testing out two ends of the spectrum basically, lol.

Final Thoughts

I went into this with the intention of only getting the Ultra, but then I wanted to also test out the S12 just in case the Ultra didn't work for me. I don't think you can go wrong either of these. I am by no means a serious athlete, but I see myself really appreciating what the Ultra brings. I know I would also love the sleek and versatile S12. This isn't to say that the Ultra is necessarily not versatile, but I think this is where the S12 shines over the Ultra.

I am not 100% decided yet, and I have flip-flopped over the last day, but if I had to choose right now, I would probably slightly lean Ultra. I think my heart is saying Ultra and my head is saying S12. I find myself more excited to put on the Ultra and look at the screen over the S12, and that's probably what will ultimately make the decision for me. With that said, it will certainly be a tough decision and I will be sad to let one go, as keeping both is just not an option for me.

I hope this can maybe help someone who is trying to decide or maybe isn't able to try both. I do not consider myself an expert on these devices by any means, but I would be happy to answer any questions I can. Or maybe there are folks who can offer their experience as well.

I normally workout at 530 but after a long night with my toddler having a nighttime wake up I decided to skip my morning workout and sleep in.

So when my sleep schedule alarm off, I turned it off and went back to sleep for another hour.

However, my sleep schedule still shows as me
Having woken up at 530 when my alarm went off.

Is this normal and if not is there a fix? I guess the only way I would know to fix it is skipping my sleep schedule alarm before it goes off so it wouldn’t automatically turn off my sleep focus.

For what it’s worth, I turned my sleep focus back on and it still didn’t register that extra hour.

I just want it to do it, don’t need alerted every time.

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

I’m quite new to this. I’m on my very first Apple Watch (Ultra 4) and I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding something or doing something wrong, but the training load and readiness data doesn’t match with my iPhone 17PM for a few weeks now.

Everything from the left is on my Apple Watch, everything on the right is on my iPhone. Both of them are on version 27.2 though problems started with the previous version already.

On my Apple Watch “all workouts” show +21%/iPhone shows 0%. Running on Apple Watch +67%/ iPhone +32%.

Readiness on Apple Watch is 5, on my iPhone it’s 7.

I feel like everything is more accurate on my Apple Watch but I don’t get why it’s different on my iPhone. Couldn’t find many answers online.

I mean like at what nm was it made? And other specs which determine the improvment. I cant seem to find it. When will we know it?

For some reason, either my watch or my iPhone fitness app is toggling my fitness goals for the red green and blue circles off departing from my goal schedule, is anyone having the same issue?

Example
I have my red ring set to 700 cal daily, but it keeps reverting to like 500 cal. Same with the green ring and blue ring. Pretty annoying. So basically I think that I’ve reached my goal, but then I realize that the goal has been set wrong! Haha

I’ve tried restarting my phone and my watch, I even found an Apple Help forum with a very specific restart order between the two devices, but even that didn’t help it. I’m also on the latest updates for each.

Anybody experienced this, anybody have a resolution?

Anyone knows how i can solve this ? My watch doesn’t shows live heart rate , most of the time it appears like that ,someone please help me out .

I have a Series 8 GPS Apple Watch and I use my iPhone connected to my vehicles Bluetooth to stream podcasts, live radio, music. I do drive for a living. I have noticed that when I do this, the watch battery is down to about 25-30% at the end of the day. Whereas on weekends when I’m not driving the watch battery does not drain as much when it’s not being used on the road. Is there a way to remedy this so that the battery doesn’t drain as fast?

Have I been completely blind or did 27.2 introduce blinking colon on the Siri modular face?

I have Voice turned off, and my other haptic things work fine (like the 30 min chime). Ive tried turning it on and off and doing hard resets, but I can’t seem to get the Taptic time to activate. Is it possible there are other settings or modes that might be preventing it? Or is it the two finger press that’s not working? I don’t use a long press for anything. So not sure how to test if that’s the problem. I just want an easy way to check the time in the middle of the night without looking at the clock.

My ultra 2 is almost 3 years old, I noticed this morning on my way into the shipyard my screen was glitching out almost as if I smacked the screen on something, then it started rebooting. Anyways I get home from work I set it down to let the battery die on it, I pick it up to show my daughter what was going on and it was rebooting but when it loaded up it was in low power mode and not glitching,battery was low enough to enable it automatically, I turn low power off and boom within seconds I get green line off center through my screen, turn it back on after reboot and all is well just in low power mode. Anyone else experience something like this? Sorry for the book.

I've been a huge user of Withings watches for years, but my current watch is getting tired and I feel limited by what I can do with it, so I'm thinking of switching to an Apple Watch.

Even though a Withings battery can last a whole month, with today's fast charging, I'm willing to give the Series 11 a try.

Usually, I log my activities through the Withings app, which is very comprehensive and has lots of variety. However, when checking Apple Fitness, I couldn't find an
'e-biking' workout option.

This is very important to me because sometimes I just commute on my e-bike, and I don't want the watch to think I'm a pro athlete because I’m cruising at 25 km/h with only a 90 ВРМ heart rate !

Any tips or someone with the same situation ?

I don’t think there is, from experimentation/googling, but maybe there is. I obviously am not mirroring my iPhone’s Focus modes on my Watch, but is there any way to specifically have the Watch automate its own modes?

For reference, I want all my devices to go into DND during work meetings, but when they’re done, I want my phone to go back into normal non-focus mode, whereas I want my watch to go into a custom limited notification mode. My impression is I can’t automate them separately.

Anyone have solutions?

EDIT: Maybe I could set a specific watch face for each focus mode and automate that, I guess? Just thought of that

Hoy salí a entrenar dejando el iPhone 18 en casa. Tengo esim en el Watch y me acordé que tenía que enviar un WhatsApp y me fue imposible ¿no se puede enviar y recibir WhatsApp desde el Watch de manera independiente? Gracias

Hey everyone, I have an Apple Watch SE 2 that’s stuck during the pairing process, and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue.

I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 26.7.2. When I try to pair my watch, it gets stuck on the “Software Update Your Apple Watch is up to date” screen, and there’s no Continue button. I’ve already factory reset the watch and tried several troubleshooting methods, but nothing has worked.

My Series 11 Digital Crown keeps getting stiff. It returns to normal after cleaning, but I don’t use my watch in harsh conditions. I can’t understand why it gets stiff again so quickly, within just 3–4 days, to the point where the clicking feedback is almost completely gone. Are there other people experiencing this issue, or am I the only one?

On Apple Watch Series 12 the Siri complication does not respond correctly: listening starts, but the command is processed only after a second touch on the display. Activation by pressing the Digital Crown, however, works normally

I have an Apple Watch Series 7 (45mm). I charged it overnight as usual, but just about four hours later, the battery completely died. When I pressed the button to check it, instead of showing the usual red charging icon and the time, it displayed only an image of the round magnetic charger. After that, it never turned on again.
When I put it on the charger, it gets warm as if it’s receiving power, but it still won’t turn on. I’ve already tried a different charger, using original Apple cables and power adapters, with no luck. I also tested my charger on another Apple Watch, and it worked perfectly, so I’m pretty sure the problem is with my watch itself.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Do you think it’s worth taking it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider? I’m afraid my watch might be completely dead for good.

Things I’ve already tried:
Leaving it on the charger for 24 hours.
Trying different charging cables.
Holding down both buttons for 10 seconds to force restart it.
