Hi all,

So I dove in and bought my first Apple Watch Series 4 on Thursday and so far I love it! I have the Nike Plus Aluminium GPS only version (I saw no use for the LTE version as my phone is almost always on me). It’s so convenient that I can get texts/calls on my wrist without having to take out my phone. Also, it’s going to be a great device to wear when I go running!

Question though...in my general settings when I go into storage on my watch, it says I have 15 photos on my watch. When I go into my photos app, it says I have no photos downloaded to my watch. So where are those 15 photos at? Any ideas?
 
I think maybe you need to be more specific regarding where you are seeing this. I don't see any option on the watch itself, under settings, to view storage or number of photos. If you go to 'My Watch' on the iPhone, then you can get much more information - is this what you're referring to?

In the watch settings...under general and about, it shows 15 pictures on the watch. Does that help?
 
Yes, I see now where you are getting that. I also am showing a small number of photos on my watch, as well as songs and applications. However I don't believe I have ever downloaded any songs or photos to my watch, so now I guess that I have the same question that you do!

I have to think about this, and we'll see what others here might have to say.

Interesting question!
 
Settings -> General -> About: 0 photos.
Even though I do have one custom watch face based on a photo.
