1. Accepting a phone call on the watch will route the audio to the watch instead of my Bluetooth headset or iPhone. Wish there was a default Bluetooth or iPhone only option.

2. When connected to my beats pill and using pandora+ google maps navigation I get no notifications on my watch at all.

3. Sometime weather will just show blank and will not update at all unless watch is rebooted.

4. Raise to wrist feature sometimes don't work at all and when sleeping with watch on it comes on way to many times.

5. Hey Siri don't work for me at all.

6. Sometimes notification are delayed by 15 minutes or so I'll get a message read it on my iPhone 15 minutes later same message that I already read shows up on my watch.

7. It's very difficult to delete apps I just can't seem to hit that small X.

That's all I could think of so far which I am sure 99% could be fixed with a software update.

Try rebooting your phone and watch, sometimes that helps Siri start working.

Apps can be deleted, moved, etc on the watch app on your phone.

just curious, why are you sleeping with it on (and if you're asleep, how do you know the face comes on?)?
 
Cool sorry you're having issues. I fortunately have none of the problems you described.

Same here. My has been very smooth, I delete apps via the phone rather than the watch; hey Siri works great, I get text within a short time of hitting my phone; etc.

It sounds more like a Bluetooth issue on the phone side. I'd reboot my phone after unpairing my watch and repairing after the reboot is complete.

Do you even own an Apple watch? IF you did you would know there is NO little x on the watch to click to delete apps. You have to do it from the watch app and even there it's not a little x. It's a toggle. :rolleyes:

Actually there is, if you keep on holding on any app icon, on the Watch, you'll see an X that when tapped, will ask you if you want to delete the app.

I'm guessing maybe you don't have a Watch :p

I guess I don't because when I tap and hold any icon on the home screen it just bounces back at me.

.

1. Accept the call where you want to take it, if your accepting the call on your watch, then you probably want to use your watch. Try accepting the call with your bluetooth headset instead.

2. Notifications do not go to the Watch when the phone is in use.

4. Tap the screen in these cirtumstances.

5. Are you doing it when the screen is on?

7. You don't have to tap the tiny 'x', you just tap the app again. The 'x' is just an indicator that you are deleting apps, not a touch target.

You are force touching, not holding.

I believe native Apps to the Watch do not have an X. But 3rd Party Apps definitely do.

Like native apps to the phone can't be deleted, there is no X. But 3rd party ones, yep.
 
It wakes me up the screen is so bright

So now I just take it off at night and charge it.

Speaking of battery life it is excellent. Heavy usage and I'm still at 50% by 9pm take it off charger at 6am.

Try scrolling down when you get a call. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

My mistake. I don't have any 3rd party apps installed. Was at least expecting wiggling icons with no X for native apps like on iOS.
 
Tips inline.

1. Accepting a phone call on the watch will route the audio to the watch instead of my Bluetooth headset or iPhone. Wish there was a default Bluetooth or iPhone only option.

On the incoming call screen, scroll down and choose "Answer on iPhone". The caller will hear a holding sound, and you can tap on your Apple Watch to make your phone play a loud pinging sound.

2. When connected to my beats pill and using pandora+ google maps navigation I get no notifications on my watch at all.

3. Sometime weather will just show blank and will not update at all unless watch is rebooted.

4. Raise to wrist feature sometimes don't work at all and when sleeping with watch on it comes on way to many times.

From the Apple Watch settings app, disable wrist raise.

5. Hey Siri don't work for me at all.

Unpair and repair the Watch in the iPhone app will fix this.

6. Sometimes notification are delayed by 15 minutes or so I'll get a message read it on my iPhone 15 minutes later same message that I already read shows up on my watch.

7. It's very difficult to delete apps I just can't seem to hit that small X.

You don't have to hit the X, anywhere on the icon.

That's all I could think of so far which I am sure 99% could be fixed with a software update.
