On the WayFinder face I can't get lat/long nor elevation/incline to show up in the bezel, no matter what I do in the settings. I tried resetting the watch. I can get it to show up in a complication. I know when I first got the watch it was working. Not sure what changed. Anyone else have this issue?

Tap the bezel, thank me later…
 
Is there any women on here who have pics of one or is it just men?
It was a woman I saw wearing it, just whilst browsing other stores, that made me head to the Apple Store on Friday to get one. It looked very cool whatever the wrist size. I interpreted it as a power move. A statement of athleticism, aspiration and generally giving zero f***s about other people opinions. Good ethos that she *may* have had…

I bet you can wear this watch if you want to and you like it.

Edited due to comma overuse.

what I have been doing now is just topping off the charge while I'm getting ready/shower. This won't fully charge the watch but that charge time is enough to last one day and even more. I can repeat this consistency without forgetting to put the watch back on my wrist. This is a mega for me.

Picked up an AWU today. I come from the AW8 SS 45mm. I expected the watch to be much bigger, but it looks fine in my opinion. Nothing is sticking out or ‘hanging over’.

Almost sure I will be returning the AW8.
 
I just chatted with Apple support and they swear I can exchange my band without exchanging the entire Watch… I am size Medium and got that, but have since come to agree with others that the Large is better for Medium wrists because it gets the hook away from the underside of the wrist where it would scrape on a MacBook all day.
 
I get invited to Geneva every year for my input , so yeah…….
Ok sir 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. They prob can’t stand you either. So far your only input is trashing people. Doesn’t sound like Switzerland to me. You know that’s where Geneva is right. As an expert in geography my point is valid

This would be the first time I've heard of this happening. I've always had to return the watch and buy the correct watch. This is also why I wish they sold watches WITOUT bands.

Yeah I am inclined to not believe them, but I was very clear in asking since it was bundled when purchased.
 
I noticed that I have been removing the battery complication since I don't have battery anxiety anymore.

i wish the watch would go into low power if the battery goes below 20% automatically - i'll check to see if this is an option.

this fall there is also going to be the new lower power mode so perhaps they roll it into that.

I found this on the apple website. it would be great if that I can modify that later. seems like an oversight.

Use Low Power Mode based on battery percentage

When your Apple Watch battery goes down to 10%, a Low Power Mode alert asks if you want to turn the feature on.
Low Power Mode turns off automatically when your battery is charged to 80%, unless you chose to turn it on for a number of days.
 
I’m finding that I’m having trouble with the heart rate monitor during runs. My wrist is only 6" and due to the increase in size and weight the watch tends to want to slide back and forth while running. I may have to find a smaller band so I can really cinch it down. Right now, I‘ve got it higher up on my wrist than I prefer. I’m also using an older Nike sport loop that may be stretched out too much.

Anyone else with this issue?

Wouldn’t any mechanical/analog watch with a metal bracelet, and buckle in the middle on the bottom of the wrist, cause the same issue? People have been wearing those and working on MacBooks for years prior to the Apple Watch being introduced…

That’s exactly what I’d be afraid of for myself, functionally speaking. Always an issue with large watches, especially for those with smaller wrists. Hope you figure out a solution!

I ran yesterday and paid close attention to that as I saw another person saying they had an issue. So far I can’t replicate it, and the tracking logged every time. So far so good. This is extremely important to me so I will be watching for it.
