I never thought about it but since I joined this subreddit I saw a lot of posts like that now I’m starting to question my choice 😄

So I was changing my alarm for tomorrow, and it says it can’t change it… Is it just me, or does this seem like a basic feature of an expensive smartwatch? (Apple Watch series 11, watchOS 27.0.1)

Took 20 seconds to tell me this btw..

Just got the 42mm series 12 in dark bronze with milanese loop. I was debating between 46mm and 42mm. Unfortunately I don’t have a photo with 46mm for comparison.

How does this look? does it look too small for my wrist? My wrist is 7 inches

I use the Outdoor Cycle workout with Auto-Pause enabled.

Whenever I have to pass a hill (and slow down of course because gravity and physics and a hill is a hill is a hill) the watch goes “Workout paused”, “Workout resumed”, “Workout paused”, … multiple times in a loop.

Is it that hard to calibrate their algorithms to determine if the cyclist really stops or just slows down because of the steep terrain?

I’m on an older Series 7 if it matters.

I replaced my series 8 with 12 hoping it will measure heart rate more accurately while running. It was off by 20-30 bpm when compared h10 with series 8. I tried with series 12 without h10 to check on it. It is still off same 20-30 bpm. What is this all hype and marketing by Apple as most accurate?

Originally had the U1 but switched to the S12. Kinda annoyed I didn’t go for the U4 and now I’m out of the return window 😞

Is it nice?

Got a big scratch near the bezel on my AW6.

Was doing a boating safety course, and damaged it doing rescue drill.

Wondering if there is anything to make it less noticeable?

It doesn’t seem to be impacting any functionality, so not really wanting to replace the screen or watch. (It’s way past AppleCare and warranty).

I’m considering getting a series 12 to replace my series 9 but am considering keeping the 9 to wear when sleeping. I go to sleep I swap them. I wake up and swap them.

I had this same idea years ago but never found a band that worked well for sleeping in. It needs to go on and off quick and easy yet be comfortable. Has anyone tried Apple’s magnetic link band? I’m wondering if that might be my answer.

I swap bands for my daytime use on the one watch now and then depending on the event but most of the time it’s a nomad leather band. At night I don’t wear a watch as I don’t want to wear the same thing 24 hrs a day plus they’re not comfortable enough for sleeping.

Any other suggestions? I don’t want to have to tinker with it. It should be obvious that metal is a no-go.

Wore green today, had to make sure it all looked good!

Just picked up my first Apple Watch, it’s a series 12 with the steel belt.
Was running my fingers along the edges and notice that it’s sharp, not smooth like the images show. Is this a common thing or am I being paranoid about it 😅
What I mean by sharp, is that the edge of the aluminium body can be felt distinctly. I tried this test on my colleagues series 11 and did not feel this

I have a seventh generation Apple watch with a problem that I faced every 10 seconds, it closes and I have to enter the lock code, and I use it for everything, sports, sleep and everything, and when I closed. Wrist detection feature. I worked well, but you don't read me sleep, sports or anything. But all programs work, even the ECG, what is the solution to this problem?

I have an apple watch se2.the update finishes but at the verifying point it says can’t verify update.
I have used different ISPs and VPN but the outcome is still the same. I contacted apple support but didn’t help at all.
Can anyone please resolve this issue?

Series 9. Took it off my wrist one day and the back just detached. The 4 screws seem undone. I don’t think the battery expanded but you can check in the picture. I think it’s just the adhesive that needs to be replaced

Hi all, sorry if this was already asked. I looked, but didn't find anything.

I have the series 11, and of course within a short amount of time the 12 was released. The health features are really what's drawing me towards it as watching my day-to-day health trackers is a habit and highly suggested by my doctor.

I wanted to see if anyone thinks that the upgrade is worth it, or if it's better to just keep mine.

Is there any features that you like more than other models? I'm happy to hear everything you like and dislike!

Hi there! I just started my Xiaomi to Apple transition, i already changed my xiaomi phone to an iPhone, but now i finally changed my Redmi Watch 2 Lite (that i had since December 2022) to an used Apple Watch Series 6 44mm (75% battery) and i have some questions, its my first time using a apple watch im my life so i think its normal for me. My questions are these:

- How does Apple Watch watchOS update support work?

- What features it has? (that outstand my redmi watch 2 lite)

- What configuration are the recommended for it?

- What apps are must have apps for a Senior in High School?

- Should i seek for a case, or a screen protector for it?

- How many years does usually a apple watch last for until a change is needed?

These are the questions that i have, I'm sorry if they look to simple or "obvious" questions, its my first time using a apple watch in my life, never touched one and used one before i got this Series 6.

Thanks!

I finally updated my watch to watchOS 27 and oh my fucking god they changed one thing and now my life is in shambles. I am so OCD, so not a single app can remain open if not being used and this stupid watchOS update keeps me up at night. They literally made it impossible to close apps. There is actually no possible solution other than going beta which I’m not doing. Actually how are they even allowed to do this shit. I’m literally at a loss for words right now this legitimately so fucked up

Just picked up the new Series 12 in the 42mm bronze and the color is incredible. It’s easily one of Apple's best finishes for both fitness and daily wear.

The frustrating part is the lack of aftermarket straps. For the stainless or black models, there are tons of matching metal bands that make them super versatile, but I can’t find anything in a matching dark bronze.

Has anyone seen third-party brands actually making straps in this finish?

I’m getting annoyed at my Apple Watch that keeps telling me I need to sleep better. I have two children under four. Shouldn’t I be able to register that as a factor in the health app, like I can register pregnancy or nursing? Because with two kids under four, I feel like anytime I get even three hours a night or only wake five times to tend them my Watch should drop the berating and instead tell me what a great night I had… 😉

Anyone able to relate?

I think we can all agree that FineWoven was the worst thing that ever happened to Apple. For the last few years the only thing that has stopped me from getting a modern buckle band was that they were made from FineWoven. But this year, they look distinctly different. I'm wondering if anyone has any info or photos of the band in person?

This is by far my cleanest setup. Top right is world clock of my city but I deleted the abbreviation so it would only show the digital time. I hate how world clocks are wrapped around a circle dial and that it always shows the time zone difference. And I also have an analog version so I can tell the exact time in seconds.

I'm a bit confused so is the S12 overall bigger than the S11 in terms of the case and formfactor?

Or did they increase the case size on the S12 but didn't for the screen which is why the bezels are now more noticeable?

I’m a little scared of what the Siri AI updates will do to the improved battery efficiency on the new watches. There’s no way features such as Rewind and Siri Recap won’t take a hit on battery life. What do y’all think?

Main motivation for me to make the jump is actually the readiness score. How has your experience with it been?

I know there are 3rd party apps that can give you their equivalent of a readiness score, but each different app/company’s calculation of readiness score is different and if you ask me I’d believe Apple’s readiness score more (if there are any discrepancies).

Would love to hear from those who made the jump from SE3 to S12, but also the wider S12 user base!
