    CarPlay Maps w/Apple Watch Issue

    Has anyone found a way to turn off the Apple Watch notifications for turning only while connected to CarPlay? I want the notifications when I am walking and using directions, but while I am driving I would rather not have Maps open on my watch and getting tapped for every turn. Thanks! Macaddict16

    Scribble Reviews!

    I haven't seen any threads dedicated to the new scribble feature, so I figured I'd start one! Personally, I think it's great! I was definitely skeptical at first, but once I started using it, it's already becoming a feature of regular use. What do you guys think?

    In the UK, the price for an AWS (38mm) is £369. The price in USA is $369. The current exchange rate suggests the price should be £278.12 (£1 = $1.32). Is this a mistake on Apple's website, or are the prices skewed in other countries too?
