    No charging after 8.3 upgrade

    Anyone else experiencing charging issues? I have a Series 6 I keep updated and have never had an issue. After the 8.3 update, my watch no longer charges using a third-party puck. Charges fine with Apple-supplied puck. Is it possible Apple added code to disable third-party chargers?

    Sticker shock! $$ for cell phone plans… Looking for advice.

    I’ve been deciding which Apple Watch to get. That's been a fun exploration. Fitness functions, podcasts, weather, etc. would be good to have. Would particularly like the emergency calling function. That’s why I'm focusing on a cellular Watch and exploring cell phone options. An EKG...

    Link Bracelet Plating / Color Change

    Does anyone know of a service to plate Apple's Link Bracelet space black/graphite? I have a stainless steel link bracelet from when I had a stainless steel watch a few years ago, but I recently purchased a Graphite Stainless Steel Series 7 and want to change the color of the link bracelet to...

    Two people and One Watch…

    Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. In any case, does an Apple Watch have a way of tracking *two* people's walks separately? My spouse and I often walk at different times and it would be good to track those separately. Neither of us normally wears a watch, but we'd value the fall feature...

    Confused about Apple Watch Series 7 purchase

    Guys, to put it simply I am confused. I was really happy to order the new 45mm green Apple Watch Series 7 and now that I watch all of these videos and I personally feel that apple used all the same internals and slapped a new screen (with other minor changes, fast charging, more durable, etc)...

    How long does it usually take for 3rd party accessories to be available?

    How long does it usually take for 3rd party accessories to be available? I'm looking for some bands not offered by Apple and a robust protector when doing exercise.

    Question: What’s your experience with launch-day stock of Apple Watch?

    Hey everyone, I pre-ordered my Apple Watch Series 7 in Gold Stainless Steel, but got a shipping time of early November. I’m thinking about coming in to my local Apple Store on launch day this Friday, October 15 and see if they have any. I’ve never shopped for Apple Watch on launch day, though...

    In it for the health?

    I am currently not very active. I went to get into a fitness routine & that is a great excuse to get a new device that tracks your health. Basically that was my pitch to my wife about me buying a new watch. Haha it worked. I have a strong desire to get fit and do this and the watch will help...

    Solar Dial - Display Latitude and Longitude?

    I currently have temperature, compass, weather, and wind shown on my watch face. I have looked throughout the options and cannot find any option that would display latitude and longitude instead of the compass feature. Does anyone know a way to toggle this or if it is even an option? Thanks in...

    Watch is waking on wrist raise in Sleep Mode

    Hello everyone! Thanks in advance for any advice. So, I have an Apple Watch Series 4, when I put it into sleep mode in the past (either triggers on iPhone or watch), the screen would not turn on when detecting a wrist raise. I would have to touch the screen or turn the Digital Crown to...

    Red line between Display and Frame on Apple Watch SE 44mm

    Hi all, in direct sunlight, I spotted somewhat like a red „line“ above the Display of my SE between Display and the glas. I never saw this line before and as I mentioned ist only visible in direct sunlight. On my Series 3, I can‘t see such a line. Is this „normal“?

    Urvoi vs the rest of AliExpress

    Was curious if you are a long time purchaser at the Urvoi store on Ali Express and what this store happens to do better than the other stores? The prevailing theory is that all the AliExpress shops get their materials from the same 2-3 places and ships them out under different names. What...

    Series 5 wrist detection not working at all

    Hey everyone, At the end of April, I cracked the screen on my Watch and as I didn’t have AppleCare, I got a new watch out of warranty. This has worked fine for the first couple of months, but around the end of May, I’ve noticed an issue whereby the watch wrist detection basically no longer works...

    iOS 15 Warning: Series 0, 1, & 2 might not be compatible

    Series 0 uses watchOS 4.3.2, Series 1 & 2 uses 6.3. There are at least two reports that installing iOS 15 beta causes crash/boot loops that are not recoverable. I have been dealing with this for weeks first suspecting a bad battery. The watch will continue to cycle (sometimes holding for a...

    I have been using an SS S0 38mm (still a backup) and SS S3 and SS S5 40mm. I am finding I prefer the smaller form factor. How do others feel about this?

    My SS Watch One has had a battery update three years ago and until yesterday was working great doing daily backup to my SS 5. While the 5 was charging I changed a complication on one of the faces and a short time later the watch went into a reboot loop. It boots to display the time and...

    Fitness app - Activity Sharing problems

    Hi all, asking here as I’m at my wits end! I’d be interested to see if anyone else has encountered this problem and if they’ve any ideas on how to fix it. I recently changed Apple ID (as Apple doesn’t allow you to change the iCloud email) and in doing so it appears to have broken Apple’s...
