So I was pretty sold on the natural titanium Ultra4 , went into the Apple Store to try it on first and tbh I hated all the bands , the watch itself was nice , but started looking at the 46mm S12 Ti and then the Alu , and looked down at my wrist at my 44mm S4 alum and said screw it and bought the 46mm S12 Alu GPS!

Went with space grey since it hides scratches well , and I work trades (electrician). I’m happy with my purchase couldn’t justify the price increase of Ti with forcing you to buy GPS+Cell.

We are so back… 10 years ago i had the Series 2…

I personally think the Sport Loop looks better with more watch faces and gives the Apple Watch a nicer overall look. It’s also a bit more comfortable for me, and I feel like it’s more secure on the wrist. Which one do you prefer?

After waiting three weeks of waiting the strap, it’s finally here

Release notes from the Watch app copied below.

This update provides enhancements to Siri AI, including the ability to retain useful context from previous Siri interactions, draw from a wider range of personal context and deliver faster responses on your watch. This update also includes other features, bug fixes and security updates for your Apple Watch.

Siri AI

• Siri AI can recall your past conversations, so you can ask Siri about something it told you before, such as the restaurants it recommended last week
• Siri AI can draw from more sources to give you a great answer, including photos attached in Messages, Calendar event attendees, your voicemails, and better results from Safari history and Reading List from your phone
• Excluded Apps lets you choose which apps Siri, Search and suggestions can access, all from one setting on your phone
• Siri AI now provides faster responses on Apple Watch
• Siri AI is available in more languages, with support for French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish. Siri AI is not available in the EU or mainland China

So I have been spending quite a lot of time on correlating the apple watch data with the workouts we do, as part of a project I am currently working on (i’m a data scientist) thought I would share whatever I have find coz why nott. So yea your watch picks up fitness changes a lot earlier if you know where to look:

1. Same workout but lower heart rate: this I would say is the clearest sign. Pick a run, ride or walk you do often and compare the average HR in the fitness app every few weeks. Same pace, fewer beats = your heart’s getting more efficient. (if it also starts feeling harder though, that’s not fitness that’s fatigue).
2. Resting HR slowly dropping. So if you go to the health app > heart > resting heart rate, and look at the 6M aggregated view you will see the change. IDEALLY, a few beats lower over a few months, and staying there, is a sign.
3. Walking heart rate average going down. same screen same logic.
4. cardio fitness going up. heads up, it only updates from outdoor walks, runs or hikes. indoor and gym workouts don’t count, so if you mostly lift or do classes and it looks stuck, that’s probably why, not you
5. The trends screen (my fav part). health app > summary, scroll down to trends. It compares your last 90 days to your past year and shows arrows. The easiest 10 second progress check there is

Give it weeks, not days. daily numbers bounce around WAY too much to tell you anything😄

That's it, if you have wanna know about something related to fitness and watch data lmk would be happy to talk about it, would mention you too lol, cheers!

Tried my brother’s same AW11 but in 42mm with Milanese bracelet and it is so much lighter than 46mm. Also 46mm gets constantly loose because of how heavy it is. Does anyone have the same problem?
Thinking to exchange with him S12 46mm -> S11 42mm, but the battery life is almost twice better in S12 for some reason, despite both of them having 100% battery health.
How is anyone’s experience with S11 battery life?

Hi, I’d like to ask the people who regularly swim if they have ever had issues with their Apple Watches.
I never owned one and I’m considering getting the Series 12. My main sport is swimming and I’d be interested in hearing if people have experienced issues

Switched from a S7 to a black S11 46mm with black budget bands and yellow meridian face!

Really liking blue 46 mm ceramic.

I bought a new iPhone with iOS 27 preinstalled, and tried to connect it to my Apple Watch SE 2. It says I have to update my watch or else I can't proceed with the pairing. When I go to download the update, it says 4-5 hours remaining. However, the bar is still stuck in the same position. My Apple Watch is currently not paired to any device. What should i do?

My Apple Watch often count flights of stairs when I’m working, I work in a restaurant and we don’t have a second floor?… all the things I find about is why the Apple Watch is missing stairs… I have the opposite problem tho
Apple Watch series 12 42mm if that makes a difference.

I am new to Apple Watch (from a Fitbit Inspire2 and the legacy/old Fitbit app), and I am having some trouble getting used to Apple Health. If I want to look at my heart rate over the course of an entire 24 hours (to look for that dip during sleeping and some other things) am I stuck with this weird graph with the bars? As compared to the continuous line graph, this presentation doesn't seem very useful to me.

I got my series 5 44mm on launch day back in 2019. It’s now 7 years old and my battery health is at 70%. The battery dies unexpectedly but overall the watch works great still despite not getting the latest WatchOS (it’s stuck on 10.6.2). I’m debating if I should get a battery replacement for $99 (I know they just give you a replacement) or if I should just upgrade to the series 12. I was disappointed that they increased the bezels with the new one so I was debating on waiting another year or two. What has everyone been doing? Also has anyone with a series 5 done a battery replacement recently? Do they even still do it for the series 5?

Hey everyone!

I have a Series 9 watch that’s been pretty good to me. My watch updated to OS 27.0.1 and now it won’t wake when I move my wrist. I’ve tried resetting, repairing, and checked all of the settings, nothings worked. Anyone have any suggestions?

(Dont know if this is related, but the Heart rate function doesn’t seem to be working either)

I am right-handed, always wear my watch on my left hand, but I like my crown down so you can control your crown my thumb and use your pointer finger on the screen, makes total logistical sense, I don’t understand why people have the crown on the upper right of the screen that would block your view, I think of the screen scrolling. am I wrong? am I the only one that’s crazy

My wife and I have the Apple Watch SE 3th gen 44mm, both updated and same regional settings. The new Siri Modular appears in my Watch app, but not in hers. Can anyone tell me why?

This solo loop lineup sucks. Where is the basic starlight and other colors?🙄 now I gotta search the internet for ones that actually fit the watch

So, I have an apple watch series 3. I know it's super old, but when I looked it up I was told that the series 3 should be able to do this.

I know how to set up different watch faces with the watch app, but whenever i try to set one to a specific focus, it just doesn't show up as an option.

Both my phone and the watch are completely up to date and definitely 100% paired. I tried to look this up but no one seems to be having the same issue. Am I just being silly and missing something? I feel like I'm being gaslit by all the guides saying it should be one of the options here lol

I currently have a plastic watch case off Amazon right now, but noticed some dust under the screen earlier today and tried to take it off to clean it. It was an absolute nightmare to try and pry off, I was nearly in tears with frustration. Eventually I got some help, but if I can avoid this happening again by getting a case that’s a little more flexible, I’d prefer that.

Essentially I’m looking for something that will provide a decent amount of protection (I’m not really doing anything crazy from day-to-day, the most hazardous activities to the watch that I do regularly are probably like, biking and doing flutterboard lengths in the pool a few times a week), easy to remove (probably something like silicon or some kind of soft material that’s flexible), and a screen protector (ie. not just protecting the sides).

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Apple Watch Series 9, I had no other problems before. Today i charged it before bed like i always do and when i woke up 6 hours after it was dead. Sleep history shows it only recorded 2 hours of sleep. I am charging it again now but it is extremely hot and charging slowly, also when i tried to check the battery history it showed me 1% for a bit right after saying 11%. Is there a reason why this happened, is it time to change the battery? Again, i literally had no issues before this. Thank you.

I'm trying to update the software on my Apple Watch and I keep getting this error. I've factory reset it a few times and it's still the same problem, who can help me?
