Ask your stupid questions in this thread! :)

Hmm. Thought I read it can snarf down the wifi settings from your phone and still accomplish things like Siri without being in range of phone...as long as phone is on the same wifi network.

I tried turning off the Bluetooth on my iPhone 6 and a message came up that the Watch uses Bluetooth for connections. So perhaps if you turn it off - even when you are in a Wifi network - the iPhone thinks you don't want any connection to your Watch? Because the Wifi that the Watch uses - as far as I have read - still needs the iPhone to do things like messaging and Siri.

----------

Another stupid question my watch doesn't know home in maps, but my phone does. *confused*

----------

Figured out my call problem. I had WiFi calling on
that needs to be off for the watch to recieve calls. Good tip!

Still working on 'home'

I tried with Work and what I found is that in the contacts listing for "me" (I have two listings with my name - I guess one is the Facebook contact - and one says "me" also, I had to have the work address entered there - not as a separate contact listing. So perhaps the same goes for "home"?

----------

I went out for a run earlier, but left my Apple Watch at home (did not want the leather strap absorbing sweat, and I'm sticking with my Garmin watch for exercise for now)...anyway, I did take my iPhone with me, so obviously the connection between the watch & phone was lost whilst I was out running.

When I got home & put my watch back on, I expected the watch and phone to re-connect automatically, but the watch had the red iPhone (with a line through it) icon at the top of the screen, thus, indicating no connection between the watch & phone. The only way I could get the watch to re-connect with the phone was to completely power off the watch (& power back on again).

Does anyone know if there is anyway to re-establish connection between watch & phone, without having to power the phone off & back on again?

Try turning the Bluetooth on the iPhone off and on. That is how they connect, so perhaps - even though it is supposed to happen automatically - that will get them connected.

If you have your iPhone connected to your car's audio/bluetooth system and then receive a phone call - both the car/iPhone and Watch will ring.
But if you answer from the Watch, is there then a way to switch the call to the car's bluetooth system like there is is you answer with the iPhone?

How do I change the answers to the questions the activity app asks, like weight and activity level?

What is the actual difference that causes an inability to swap bands between Sport, Watch and Edition? Is it size? shape? Something else?

There is no difference. All three have exactly the same 'fastening' mechanism. The only issue that has ever been mentioned is that the 'anchors' for the non-fluorelastomere ones have Stainless or Gold 'anchors' on them for their 'own' watches and (1) will look odd with those on an Aluminum watch (etc.) and (2) some concerns (unverified) about corrosion when mixing the metals.

All will fit, it's these issues that have been raised.

You can change the bio info (weight, age, etc.) in the Health app section in the AW app. I can't see where you change the activity 'level' you set the first time. That's a good question!

Sorry if this has been asked. If I have 2 watches, can you pair both of them to your iPhone, obviously not at the same time. Just wondering if I could use a sport for the gym and SS for everything else, or would I need to go through the repairing process every time?

How good/loud is the speaker phone volume?

I'm also having trouble with sunrise/sunset times (in the UK). Was disappointed when the Solar watch face didn't match actual sun position, then noticed if I choose to add sunrise/sunset to other faces I just get __0__'__''

Have I got a setting missing somewhere?

no , i had the problem too. you have to power switch off the apple watch: klick and hold the big button on the right side of the watch, it shows : power off . slide the power off display to the right, the watch is off. display is black. to activate the watch, klick and hold the big button on the right side of the watch, you see the apple logo coming. it takes a while to restart. this solves the problem with not showing the sunrise / sundown .

I haven't tried it yet, but I read that to change the levels originally set, you force press on the screen showing the activity you want to edit.
