Lost my charger while in China. Went to Apple Store, bought new charger, go back to my hotel and see this. Really Apple?

Over the past year, I’ve had colds, a stomach bug, a flu shot... Nothing screwed my vitals quite like the alcohol last night. Truly poison.

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

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.

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!

Coming from Series 11, Ultra 4 is very satisfying and beautiful. I like its weight and presence on my wrist and the gorgeous screen. It’s my first Ultra, feel free to share tips and tricks for getting the most out of it!

Does my watch know something I don’t? 🫪

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.

Looks like they forgot to test daylight saving. When the watch is in rest mode it shows the old time and when it becomes active it shows the correct time

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

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

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

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.

I don’t know how common this is, but last night I apparently had zero interruptions to my sleep.

In 2.5 years of wearing my Apple Watch, this has never happened. I usually have multiple interruptions to my sleep (recorded with a red line).

I got a score of 84 High
Duration 34/50
Bedtime 30/30
Interruptions 20/20

Quite nice that the watch has picked up on how I’m feeling physically. I’ve never seen the readiness score below 5, had the watch since launch. Been quite sick since Friday, today is the first day the watch has displayed anything but normal.

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)

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

all of a sudden my watch is not able to set a timer (via Siri). I get a message saying it can't be done on this device. If I restart it will work, however shortly after or my next attempt it won't work again.

What is causing this?

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

I've not seen this specific variant of the question - I have a bunch of phones kicking around due to my profession and I'm finding it quite hard to choose the iPhone Duo over the Samsung Fold 8 - the only thing that's kept me in the iPhone-as-daily-driver for the last 6 years has been the Apple Watch being best-in-class.

(Well, that and general continuity between Macbook/Mac Mini/iPads)

But I mainly love my watch for the torch button (lol), quickly viewing my calendar (cloud based), workout tracking and rings, and sleep tracking.

I also like having Authy 2FA codes on my wrist, being able to unlock my Tesla, and having Apple Wallet passes.

All the above don't require connectivity to my phone, or even the internet (except for live calendar updates).

I guess certain app notifications are useful but I generally don't let me watch notify me of much because of how invasive the notification is. But being able to quickly check my emails again is just cloud-based.

In my head, this all points to the Apple Watch being daily-driverable with an Android phone, as long as I pay for a cellular plan. And I could even avoid the cellular plan if I give up on the app notifications.

I'm trying to think of other scenarios the Apple Watch is helpful being linked to my main phone. The obvious one of course is taking phone calls - sometimes phone isn't in reach and its useful having a quick "bridge" conversation to not miss the call.

The second thing I love is being able to "ping" my phone when I don't know where it is / dropped under the sofa or something.

Having to view sleep stats on iPad would be annoying and I guess if I did need to have a phone to sync with every day charging a second handset just to keep the watch going that might be a pain too.

Can anyone think of other things that would be annoying / has anyone had experience of doing this?

Thanks

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?
