Notifications heads up

[Esoom]

Apple Watch 1, me 0, LOL

Had phone replaced by Apple Store, repaired watch and no notifications

Restored watch, no change, finally did a search, and discovered that the watch doesn't indicate notifications if your phone is open and unlocked...

Slick, Apple, saves battery life. I'm impressed.

all that just because you didnt read the manual first?

Manuals are not for real men!

Actually I did not know that a manual came with any watch, with the exception of the Edition. Or is there an on line manual? If so, where can it be found?

Thanks.

The full manual can be gotten as an iBook through the iBook app store ^^

--- You know what, I don't see where it says you need the phone in the lock position.

I read the book several times while waiting on my watch to ship but still learn new things about it.

I'm sure you manual readers will already know this but I liked the tip and so will share it again. If you slide over to your glance that allows pinging your phone and tap the phone button it (your phone) will make a sound. If you tap and hold though, it will make a sound and activate the flash. Not sure how I missed it but learned it here just in the last day or so.

Thanks, I got it. Now all I need is a watch to use it on.

This is how it works between all apple devices.
