How to update Watch Complication only when the watch is awake, to not use up the daily budget
I have a server that keeps 2 booleans. These booleans change every 15 seconds. Whenever I wake my Apple Watch, I want the complication to show the current state. How can I do it withough exhaustin...
It's been an issue for a few years. I've not seen a 3rd party app get around it if it needs to frequently update.
I think you've missed my point. Yes I know it will be an AW6-only feature as I've said, but my point was that it shouldn't be as the hardware is already within existing series.
Seems like a reason to hold off until Series 6 most likely in the fall. Unless you're a developer and want to test now. Wife and I have series 4 models and will likely replace in the spring. Usually buy at best buy when they have them on sale in the March/April time frame.
Every time I try downloading the WatchOS profile from the Developer site I get the error "An unknown error occurred."
The benefit of using the calendar is two fold... When in your car, that data can always be visible on the multi-app display typically showing map, music and calendar in CarPlay. That way I've got at least a larger screen in the car to see that data easily. Might not be a big need for many, but the few of us that rely on it... very helpful.
Nonsense. My Series 0 is still running wOS 3 and it still works. Slowly, but thats wOS3's fault.
I use it for a sleep tracker and some workouts.
I use mine to tell me when to breath. I'd be in a world of hurt without it.
I track my sleep every night. Watch takes 75 minutes roughly for full charge. Lasts 24h easily after the charge including 160mins of workout tracking daily. Find an hour to charge it anywhere in the day and you are fine. For me that is usually in the morning immediately after my workout when I sit down to begin my work day.
This is with an AW5 with all default features on including the AOD
160 minutes a day? That’s impressive, nice work. Has anyone with the beta seen if we can increase the daily exercise goal finally?
Really? According to Apple itself, the Series 5 Apple Watch takes 2.5 hours for a full charge, or 1.5 hours for an 80% charge.
That's a great question. I'm glad you asked.
I charge my zero while I'm wearing my Watch 4.
But on a trip I only wear one watch and a short 30-45m charge is enough to top it off in the morning, or while I'm showering, etc. Even a full day only runs the battery down to 40%, so it doesn't take much to get it back to full.
The 1.5hours to 80% is from 0%. Who runs it down that far? I know my 4 charges from 80-100% faster than 1 hour.
Sleep tracking doesn’t drain my battery at all, maybe 5-8%. The only thing that really drains my watch is exercise, so I just pop it on the charger while I shower and that’s good enough.
It's usually at 20-25% when I put it on the charger so that is probably why my estimate is lower than what Apple is saying.
My Series 2 has slowed down a lot over the past year... it doesn’t have much space left and I don’t install anything on it.
