    Switching On Alarm Clock

    I usually have three or four different alarm clock times set and switch between them depending on the weekday. I totally fail to switch on one of these alarms with the first or even second try, instead I land in the menu for setting up the alarm. I have quite flimsy and female hands and...

    Apple Watch Hermès Deployment Buckle — Photo Gallery

    Series 2: After careful consideration I decided to go with the Apple Watch Hermès with the Single Tour Deployment Buckle—to be honest, only because of the unique watch band. This is the most beautiful, most comfortable and with the little twist in the clasp the most "clever" band I have ever...

    I discovered an exploit where the Apple Watch won't lock despite total break in skin contact.

    Update: If you're trying this, please do two things: (1) If it doesn't work, try the technique a second time in a row, and for me it always works the second time -- not sure why. (2) Can you please try something else? Forget the heart rate trick and just lift your Apple Watch off your wrist...

    Hey everyone, Today I accidentally chose "outdoor walk" while on the treadmill instead of "indoor walk". As outdoor walks help calibrate your Apple Watch in regards to fitness, stride, etc I'm worried that I've stuffed it up. I've since deleted that workout but should I also reset calibration...

    Major animation lag on WatchOS3

    Okay, so I have the first Apple Watch that came out (Apple Watch Series 0, if you will), and ever since I updated to WatchOS3, this thing lags so bad, that it's annoying to use or to reply to messages for example because the animation lag is so bad.
