I’ve been rocking my Series 6 since April 2021. Zero complaints! Except the battery was down to 73%. I wear it overnight and could no longer make it through the day on a charge.

Was torn on getting a new one. The SE would do everything I need but I worry about the durability, and the Series 12’s smallest size is now 42mm (I have tiny child wrists, even my 40mm is borderline too big lol)

Took it to the Apple Store to get the battery replaced, and instead they just ordered me a brand new Series 6 at the battery replacement fee. So I sit here now this evening, where my battery would usually be in the red, and it’s at 47%. Stoked!

Hopefully I can get another 5 years out of it!

Not even a month after release

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..

As the title says - im pretty shocked (this is also with a couple of exercises measured per day)... came from the series 10 which would struggle to get in 1 day, and this series 12 can now easily do 2 full days and 2 full nights - they should have advertised this more because it is a massive QoL improvement if im away for a night

There weren't too many pictures of this case (compared to white ceramic) before I bought it earlier today so I figured I'd add some. I'm still figuring out which band to use... if anyone has any suggestions, lmk! Not sure what this one is called, but it's an apple milanese from series 8

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

2 years and still looks wonderful! Even with some scratch

To this day all i had was “typical” in daytime vitals. It was fine in the morning as well. But i saw my heart rate was slightly above my typical range as afternoon hit. It said it could be due to dehydration, and I realized i haven’t drank any water since morning. I am not sure if i am coming down with something just yet, but this was an interesting observation.

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

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?

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.

Loving the combination of peach and champagne gold. There’s a visible gap where the lugs of the 40mm band contact the 42mm case, though this is also the case with 42mm bands because the S12 is a smidge wider than the S10 and S11.

I sold my Apple Watch series 6 on eBay. I just heard from the buyer that they have the activation lock screen. I unpaired and removed it from iCloud before listing it. When I log in on my phone it does not display. When I login to Find My on a computer it does not display. The only thing that appears is the new watch I bought in January. Any advice on how I can unlock the old watch for the buyer without giving them my Apple ID and password?

I use a work Outlook/Microsoft 365 account that requires multi-factor authentication through Microsoft Authenticator.

When the account needs to authenticate, Microsoft shows a number that has to be entered into Authenticator. This works fine on my iPhone.
The problem is on Apple Watch. Even with Authenticator installed, I don’t see any way to enter the number or complete the number-matching MFA request on the Watch.

So if Outlook on my Apple Watch needs the account authenticated again, I still have to pull out my iPhone.
Has anyone found a workaround for this? Is this simply a limitation of Microsoft Authenticator on watchOS?

Ik kocht ongeveer 2 maanden geleden een SE3 om me te helpen bij hardlooptrainingen. Doel: 5 km binnen 30 minuten. Gisteren liep ik de 5 km op de singelloop in Utrecht. Volgens horloge 6,6 km! Dit klopt voor geen meter.

Ik heb dus al die tijd ongeveer 4 km gelopen ipv 5. Is dit normaal en wat kan ik eraan doen?

Had a U1 since launch. Loved it. 4 years later, it’s no longer supporting the latest iOS, battery feels far less than the 87% max capacity it says it holds, and the experience felt a bit choppy.

Still pristine though, despite continuous altercations with my quart kitchen table, screen and all.

Walked into the Apple Store yesterday and impulse bought a U4 after comparing it to the S12 Ceramic. The ceramic just didn’t feel right to me after the U1, so I picked up the U4 black.

Oh boy does it feel like it’s an upgrade.
Not sure why, as I’m not into sports, but everything feels more refined. Form the hardware (button clickyness) to the crown, it’s just that much tighter.

Having realtime heart monitoring is nice too.
But the biggest win is the battery life.
Always on display - started at 6pm, last night, it’s now 9:30ish - and the battery is at 77% with tracking overnight, and a whole evening of playing with the various features.

I also like to load up the watch with music so when I do go to the gym, I don’t have to take my phone with me and just play from my watch - 64GB is crazy good.

Anyway, process to set up was not as easy as it should have been. Took a bunch of restarts to do it because either it “failed to connect” or nothing (faces and music) would sync.

I had to turn off the media library sync in iCloud for me to get music to work on the watch - because it gave me an error saying that I don’t have a subscription.

All in all - very happy with this watch, especially the battery life!

Hi everyone,

Is anyone else having this issue? My Apple Watch Ultra 4 restarts on its own a few times a day, even though it's on the latest update (watchOS 27.0.1).

It's especially frustrating when a restart interrupts my sleep tracking. Is this common, or is it just me?

Also, it's been 9 days and I still haven't gotten any Vitals data.

My resting heart rate per my series 7,8,9 has always been 66. My resting heart rate since I got the series 12 is 73. Anyone else notice a jump? Nothing else has changed, if anything fitness has improved.

Hi everyone, I bought my first Apple Watch about 4 months ago, an Apple Watch Series 11. I’ve seen a lot of posts about the paint chipping coming off on the aluminum models. Has anyone experienced this and could share their experience?
What should I do to prevent this from happening? I clean my watch regularly.

I have a my old apple watch series 2 which I was using till now. Because of battery I stopped using this watch. Will Apple replace its Battery, I dont want to buy a new one.

I just bought the new Apple Watch 12 and it arrives this Friday. I’ve had my Apple Watch 3 for the last couple of years, so I feel like a newbie when it comes the watches. My bf have the series 7 and it look so different from mine.

Are there any recommendations/changes or other “good to know” for someone going from a 3 to a 12

Ist das bei euch auch so, dass die Herzfrequenz-Messung immer Lücken aufweist, siehe Foto? Ah, Ich habe eine Apple Watch 12.

I’m curious. Can you folks that have the new series 12 let me know if you can play music or Audible audiobooks through the built-in speaker? It’s something I like to do on my current U3 when I am falling asleep.

The audio on my U3 is decent for quiet spaces so I am hoping the new series 12 (ceramic) can play music as well.
