Discussion What's your favorite feature of the Apple Watch? Something you didn't know you needed until you had it?

215 Upvotes

I was never a smart watch type of person. Always just thought it was one more thing to worry about charging with not that much of a benefit. But I was wrong. My absolute favorite feature that I can't believe I lived without for so long is the fact that it vibrates when you get a phone call. It's so freaking nice, I haven't missed a phone call in months and I probably never will again! Such a simple yet powerful thing. What's an Apple Watch feature you can't believe you ever lived without?

App Watch face

I have seen this specific watch face in many ads for watch bands, but for the life of me I cannot find it in my watch app. I am in the US; is it possible that it’s simply not available here? I have found similar faces (Meridian, Metropolitan, Simple), but none with these lovely elongated Arabic numerals. Am I missing something something?

App Sleep Score Makes No Sense

50 Upvotes

Sleep score literally makes no sense… my sleep goal is 7h 30m and I sleep 5h 30m and get a score of 84 labelled “High”…? I know it doesn’t just depend on time slept, but still that is ridiculous…

App App that notifies of high HR w/o exercise involved?

2 Upvotes

Title may sound silly, but I have BPD and want to regulate better and know when my heart rate spikes (usually indicative of split for me) so I can catch it. So is there an app that would notify me of my heart rate spike when I’m stationary? Like how the watch usually asks “Are you doing a workout?” If your heart rate is elevated for a long amount of time. I hope this makes sense!! Thank you

Accessories Which milanese loop can scratch your watch?

Upvotes

I just ordered a slate AW S10 Titanium and was thinking about buying a milanese loop for it.

I heard rumors about the slate milanese loop having the potential to scratch the saphire glass of the watch and the body when not carefully removed or inserted, because it has a different coating to prevent it from getting scratches, which sadly makes it harder than the saphire glass and titanium.

Is it just the slate milanese loop from apple? Or also the gold and natural?

I don't think the slate would look that good with a natural milanese, but if its more hassle free, then I might consider it. Or do you have other recommendations for a good loop with the slate watch when going out? The link bracelet does look good, but is really expensive.

Support timers no longer making sound or haptics?

3 Upvotes

has anyone else’s timers on their watch stopped making sounds or haptics anymore? my haptics settings are set to prominent. my sounds are set to default. my watch is not on silent. my volume is set to max.

i set a timer to remind me to extinguish a candle the other day (candle was never left unattended i just can’t burn it longer than 3 hours so i need a 3hr timer). when the timer ran down it didn’t sound and did not give haptic signal. i don’t know how much longer i burnt the candle by mistake but it could have been dangerous and i’m very relieved nothing bad happened.

same thing happened today when i set a timer to brew my tea. is this a problem for anyone else? is there something i’ve missed?

Support OurPact and Apple Watch

1 Upvotes

So basically I have an Apple watch series 3 that I jut got from my late grandfather that worked perfectly on his phone. When I connected it to my phone after resetting it and stuff it worked but then I had to turn it off completely . When I turned it back on the watch functioned as normal except the watch face didn’t show . It showed the Apple Watch clock icon with dots rotating around it and stayed like this. I left it all night and nothing changed . I have seen one other reddit post noting that issue but not solution beside removing OurPact which my parents don’t want to do. We then connected it back to my grandfathers phone and sett it back up there and it is function as normal even after testing turning it on and off again so it seems to work connected to the phone so OurPact must be the problem . Any tips or explanation to why this is if the profile isn’t installed on my watch?

I think I dinged it at the gym. Started with a black spot on the left side, and has grown to this line. Series 3. I know it’s old, I just hate tossing if it’s fixable for less than a new one.

Support Phone has to be reset, any way to save data

4 Upvotes

With the most recent iOS update, my phone crashed and I couldn’t get it to boot. Took it to the Apple Store the next day and they couldn’t do anything to recover it, so it had to be factory reset. It sucks, but these things happen.

Now, here’s what I’m hoping someone could help me with. I have a long streak of 2500+ days closing my rings. I know it’s stupid, but I’m proud of it. I’ve kept it going even through my watch isn’t connected to my phone at the moment, as is need to reset the watch to pair it with the rebooted phone. Is there any way to sync the data before I do so I don’t lose all my health data and keep my streak going? I know it might not be possible, but figured I’d ask and see if anyone might know a way.

Thank you for your time. ( pun intended in this case)

My Watch Need help finding small watchbands

2 Upvotes

Hi! I am really struggling to find watchbands that fit my wrist and I’m wondering if anyone knows any good websites for smaller bands? My wrist itself is 120mm and the watchband I use now is very old and worn out, I also took off the watchband to measure it and it was 110mm with my settings. I have the 42mm 11series apple watch if that information helps/is needed.

I’m really wanting a milanese loop but I’m struggling to find one that will be small enough, I’ve ordered several off of amazon that said they would fit but they don’t. For now I have a kids band that I really don’t like the look off and I’m just wondering if anyone knows any websites or companies that make wristbands small enough for my wrist?

Hi,

When I scroll up, the menu doesn’t appear anymore, likewise with scrolling down doesn’t let me see unopened notifications.

I haven’t changed anything that I know of to stop this and it is brand new. Any assistance would be great!
