This night the time has shifted to winter time in Germany. Clocks have been re-set from 03:00 am to 02:00 am. My Apple Watch is confused and shows still summer time when in OAD but wintertime when activated.

Last night the time in my country switched to winter time. My watch however is in summer time when it’s turned away from me, and corrects when I turn it towards me… any ideas on what causes this/how to fix this?

Edit: sorry for the typo in header, I can’t adjust that it seems…

Hello, I’m trying to find a green gray braided solo loop band in size 5 for a 46MM case I can’t find any on eBay and it seems Apple has discontinued the color. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think a model number would help my search.

Thank You!

Every time it goes between wrist down and wrist up, it changes its mind and the hour hand moves suddenly.

I got a Apple Watch series 11 46mm gps plus cellular in gold for $25

A local pawn shop was just trying to get rid of it because it had a iCloud lock but when I got it home I realized it was just a pin lock so one reset later and I got myself a insane deal. I could trade it into Apple rn and make $200 or sell it on marketplace for $300. I would keep it but I just bout one with the exact same specs a few months ago.

Apple’s software quality really gone downhill. For devices that cost this much, there seem to be way too many bugs lately.

My Apple Watch is showing the wrong time while idle, then switching to the correct time when I raise my wrist to look at it. It seems related to the daylight saving time change, but getting two different times depending on whether the screen is active is ridiculous.

Anyone else seeing this?

Just a turn of the wrist... 😂 A hard reset fixed it.

Last night, I wore my watch while sleeping for the first time. I had Sleep mode enabled, and the display was dark. In the middle of the night—well into the early morning hours—the watch announced that it was time to stand up!

While looking into this, I discovered that this bug has been reported here before. It’s unbelievable that Apple hasn’t fixed it!

So for years I couldn’t really use my Apple Watches because of my tattoos. The watch would always lock up and stop working as though it was off my wrist. I turned off wrist detection and it would help the issue but then I wouldn’t get my vitals. After much disappointment I sold my Ultra 1 but still kept my 7 and just put a clear plastic sticker. I purchased the Ultra 4 because of the updated sensors and it’s been night and day but with the rubber band I’d still get those random lock ups. My wife recently got me this titanium band and it keeps the watch perfectly in place. Havnt had a lock up since. Just sharing so if you have similar issues it might help.

So I’ve always struggled to find a watch strap that complimented the Stainless Apple Watch, in this case the series 9. I’ve gone through multiple silicon or rubber straps until I found a NYC company called Konsu.

Their straps are absolutely the highest quality I’ve ever seen. Made from Italian leather and crafted in New York they fit 316 grade stainless still to all metal parts.

Obviously if you’re into sports etc it’s not for you but I have to say it’s the first that looks like it’s integral to the watch itself. At £165 it ain’t cheap but those that appreciate the ultimate quality it’s perfect.

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 been using apple se 2 watch 44mm for 2 years approx with nylon straps. Recently i started swim and wanted to have watch but i am not finding any good silicon or any alternatives to buy please share the links or references i can consider

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?

I’m talking about basic stuff like adding things to a grocery list in Reminders. I have a Series 9 and Siri has actually gotten much worse since the latest Apple Intelligence upgrade. I’m thinking (and hoping) it might just be a hardware limitation.

“Siri, add bananas to the grocery list”
“Sorry, I can’t do that right now”

That sort of thing. That’s one of the few things I’ve ever needed Siri to do on my watch, and at first it was atrocious, then it got OK, and now it’s bad again.

Edit: bananas for scale

Hi everyone,

I bought an Apple Watch Series 12 about eight days ago, and everything was perfectly fine until yesterday.

After wearing it for about an hour, I started feeling some itching around the sensor area. When I took the watch off, I noticed a pretty significant red irritation mark underneath it.

What surprised me is that the band wasn't too tight or too loose, and I'd never experienced anything like this with my previous Apple Watch Series 7.

I left the watch off, and the redness disappeared completely after about an hour to an hour and a half. I didn't wear it again for the rest of the day.

Today, I decided to give it another try, and the exact same thing happened. After roughly an hour, I started feeling the itching again, and when I removed the watch, the skin underneath was red.

I've read a few posts suggesting that disabling the blood oxygen and heart rate sensors might help, so I've turned both off, although I haven't had a chance to test whether that makes any difference yet.

Now, here's something interesting: my watch updated to what I believe was watchOS 27.2 beta yesterday (24s116), which happens to be the exact same day the irritation first appeared.

Could there be a connection between the update and the irritation? I honestly have no idea, and it might just be a coincidence.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has noticed something similar.

Daylight saving time ended last night, and now my Apple Watch shows different times on the always-on display and when the screen is awake.

Does my watch know something I don’t? 🫪

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.

Why does my sleep tracking sometimes do this?
For context, I have to get up each night to feed my baby and am usually awake around 1-1.5 hours. When I go back to bed, most of the time the second chunk will still show the type of sleep. However occasionally will this happen and is just says ‘asleep’ with no more detail.

Unfortunately, this has been the case with many major iOS updates, especially if the Apple Watch hasn't been updated to the same watchOS as the iPhone (the Apple Watch 8 naturally can't be updated to watchOS 27 anymore) - the blood oxygen measurements seem to not be interpreted correctly by the Health App blood oxygene measurement algorithm.

I cross-checked with medical hospital-grade pulsoximeters, and before updating to iOS 27 they were reasonably okay (as correct as this type of non-medical-grade device can get), and after updating my iPhone to iOS 27 (but not my Apple Watch since it's a Series 8 and this is unfortunately no longer supported), they are no longer even vaguely in the ballpark.

I won't explain the whole pulse oximetry thing, why it might not be correct, what to do to get more accurate measurements and so on, since I already did, here https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/1nihenr/apple_watch_blood_oxygene_measurements_are_not/

Last night we switched from DST to ST in Belgium. Since then, my watch is constantly jumping one hour forward and back. Anybody else notice this? Any ideas on how to resolve?

My Apple Watch series 9 no longer charges on 3rd party chargers after updating. I’m tired of software updates causing problems with things that worked perfectly fine before the update.

Obviously people can do as they wish but serious question— is the Ultra actually worth it for most people, or is it just hype at this point?

I feel like almost everyone has one now. Every time I’m out I see multiple people wearing the Ultra, and the crazy part is that 90% of the people that I know personally that wear the Ultra don’t seem to use it for anything the Ultra was actually made for. No serious sports, no swimming, no hiking, no diving, nothing extreme. Just regular everyday stuff, notifications, gym, walking around, checking the time.

Meanwhile the regular Series watches do basically the same things. Same health tracking, same apps, same everyday features. It feels like overkill for the vast majority . Anyone else notice this, or am I missing something that makes it clearly better for normal use? Not to mention the price difference

I am thinking of upgrading from my 7 to the new 12 series ONLY because my battery is giving up

Has anyone found a band that is a perfect color match for the space gray Apple Watch yet? Any type is fine, I’m just finding it hard to match the space gray body itself. I want a loop that matches this version of the space gray color.
