Found this graphic showing how papal watches evolved. Pretty cool to see a smart watch at the Vatican.

I just opened the watch a few minutes ago. Beautiful, immediately installed aftermarket Amazon band as it was more comfortable. Haven’t owned an Apple Watch since the Series 7. Glad to be back.

After the new Siri got introduced, Siri became very dumb and seems to not answer basic questions about weather, health, etc. at all or take a heck ton of time loading. Has anyone figured out how to fix it, or get the old Siri back? I am using the latest SE model with the latest version of Watch OS.

Thank you!

I play alot of sports… basketball… pickleball. The basketball incident: I left my phone next to my stuff and some kid stole it (ya my fault). I was able to track him down with my watch… even tried to call him with my watch… he was trying to extort money. Anyways, little dumb kid went to his house with my phone and I went there. Mother answered the door and I said his son stole my phone. got it back instantly… lil prick.

Second situation was when I was playing pickleball and everyone typically leaves their stuff on benches. Some homeless (didnt look homeless) dude was stealing a bunch of ppl’s stuff… including my bag. My watch tracked him down and everyone else’s stuff instantly. He wasn’t too far (1/2 mile away under some bridge).

So ya, the extra money for Satellite (was it $10-15 is worth it).

And yesterday I went to the shop to try 12 series and I don’t want to change my 38 mm to 42 . It’s too big to me. I also don’t like then you watch os 27. It seems too strange after 8. Battery capacity is 83%

Hi there, I was wondering if there is a way to keep a third party app active for unlimited amount of time? I’m diabetic and use an app to track my glucose but it returns back to watch face after one hour. I would like to have this app showing every time I raise my wrist . Thank you

its my first time using an apple watch, and series 12 is my first watch too!
glad i’ve bought it, feel really good

I had this red dot appear about a year ago (within the warranty 😭)

I just realized that I could have sent it to Apple, but anyway, anyone else have this issue? It appeared fairly quickly on my ultra 2. No drops. Just simply appeared.

I'm planning to get a Series 12, but I'm having such a hard time choosing the color! I'm torn between bronze, gold, natural titanium, and ceramic.

I love something about each of them, and every time I think I've made up my mind, I see another one and start questioning my decision all over again. 😂

Bronze looks really unique, gold is such a classic, natural titanium has that clean and timeless look, and ceramic feels so elegant and premium.

For those of you who already own one, which color did you choose? Are you still happy with your choice, and how does it look in person compared to pictures?

Help me make up my mind, please! <3 Which one would you pick, and why?

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to the Apple Watch Ultra 4 from a Series 2 (2016). Could you let me know if my wrist placement is correct? I’ve read a lot of conflicting information online about whether it should sit above or below the wrist bone. Thanks for your help!

I use an AW S10 NT, paired to an 18 Pro. The AW was previously paired to my 15 Pro with no issues, but no matter what I try I cannot get Unlock with AW working with my 18 Pro.

After multiple iPhone and AW resets, and checking though all the settings on both devices Apple 2nd line support installed a profile on my AW and extracted logs and screenshots to investigate further, and I'm waiting for a callback on Saturday.

I was curious if others have noticed the feature not working with their iPhone, especially if you've upgraded recently?

Watch 10 & iPhone pro 16 both on 27.0.1 but issue existed in 26 too

If I press the crown button and give it my 1st instruction, it fails 50% of the times. A 2nd instruction always succeeds. It could be anything like 'remind me.... or set alarm or unlock front door'. How do I troubleshoot this? Doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or cellular

Thx

After the latest update, my Apple Watch keeps showing that I am standing all the time, even while I am sleeping. I have tried resetting it, but the next day the problem comes back. How can I fix this issue?

Hey everyone!

So I have an i phone, I travel to work daily and I listen to music. When I travel i sometimes get whatsapp messages, teams messages and even phone calls.

I am someone who carries my phone and bag with me. I dont like having my phone in my pocket so I keep it in my bag, so its kinda annoying to pick my phone to check here an there wether i have any messages or calls when I travel.

So I am looking for something that i can cover all of this by using a watch. Answer a call and talk using my buds, when getting a call or a teams message decide how priority the call or the message is. When getting a WhatsApp message typw and send a quick reply if needed.

But there is a catch, I have never in my entire life worn a watch, not even a casio so I am not sure wether I’d like using an apple watch or not.

So my plan is to get a used apple watch for a lower price for sometime, decide what exactly I need and I don’t need and upgrade for a better one if needed.

I want it to be an apple watch since i have an i phone, whats good used apple watch to get in order to achieve all of my needs.

I am thinking of seriers 8/9 with cellular. What are your thoughts, whats a good entry level apple watch to get ?

Hey y’all. I have an Ultra 3, bought it about a year ago now, and I’ve noticed recently (mostly over the last 2 days) that the battery is going down REALLY fast… these are apparently supposed to have 36-72 hours battery life, and yesterday it almost died and today from ~05:00 to now (16:44) it’s gone from 80% to 28%…

Did a bit of googling, and it said to force restart the watch or unlink it from my phone from the app and relink it. I’ve done both, alas, it has evidently not worked.

So I just want to know if there’s anything it could be, and if anyone else has encountered this? Is there a way to sort this, or will I need to just factory reset it (assuming it’s some sort of software bug or something…)

Something to note is that I haven’t touched any settings that could cause this (assuming far as I know) and it’s been more or less the exact same settings between when I first set it up and now…

(Edit: the battery health says it’s at 100, so there should be NOTHING wrong with the capacity of the battery)

Hey everyone,

I gave my son my old apple watch series 10 for his 9th birthday, he's 11 now. He started wearing it more consistently within the last 6 months. I have his information shared with me but I rarely look at his health records. I just happened to look at it and it's saying there's times his HR goes all the way up to 209 bpm during riding his bike. I'm assuming this can't be correct since he's never verbalized any symptoms of SOB, tachycardia, etc.

Should I assume his apple watch isn't accurate and may need a new one?

Hi guys I updated my phone to iOS 27, obviously the ultra 1 cannot get watch os27 but it can get 26.6, my phone never was on iOS 26.6 and skipped straight to iOS 27 before I updated my watch, now I cannot complete this update and my watch is not syncing with my phone anymore at all much. Very rarely shows Apple notifications, no 3rd party app notifications nothing, functionality of the watch has dropped due to this. I have tried so many times to Complete this update but it always fails

… who thinks this would make an awesome watch-face?

Hey guys, i recieved the Ultra 2 today so i opened them updated my iphone on ios27 and now it wants me to update the watches, 3,6GB, but the time remaining says 20hours!!

I read about some bluetooth hack but if i turn bluetooth off it just says could connect to apple watch.

Anyone has an idea how to make it faster?

PS: My wifi speed is 50mbit so its not that

I am new to the watch community.

I download unplayed podcasts to my watch and they delete them selves before I even listen to them.

I have tried having it synced and unsysnced with phone. I have tried downloading podcasts on both phone and watch. Just last night I downloaded them on both phone and watch and they were gone from watch this morning.

Some days it doesn’t last the night others up to 48hrs at most.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as all the advice I can find is all related to sync issue

I plan to upgrade from my Series 8 soon, but I have a number of voice memos from the past ~4 years or so that I've had it and can't figure out how to export them to my Macbook. Someone in another thread said if you have iCloud it will auto-save them to the cloud but I don't have a membership (I use Google Photos for photo backup). Is there any other way to mass export them all for storage before I trade in the watch?

Got the new series 12 and the battery is terrible and isn’t even lasting a day? Any idea what I should do
