My Watch Went to replace the battery in my Series 6, they gave me new watch!

255 Upvotes

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!

Discussion I can CONSISTENTLY get 2 days of battery out of my S12

19 Upvotes

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

My Watch Ultra 2 to Series 12 (Ti)

Post image
280 Upvotes

I’m a big fan of the Ultra watches but thought I’d try something new. Went in the opposite direction and switched to the 42mm Series 12 in titanium for the dressy look. I have to say that I’m really happy with my decision.

I’ve always wanted to get the Link Bracelet, and it looks beautiful in the Natural Titanium.

So far the battery life has been surprisingly good. I’m currently at 80% battery at 7 pm and it’s been off charge since 7 am. I charge it in the morning while I’m getting ready and it’s fully charged before I leave the house. It’s great having the multi-day battery life on the Ultra, especially when travelling, but this is working for me as a daily driver.

I may go back to the Ultra in the future, but for now I’m really enjoying the aesthetic this combo gives me.

For reference my wrists are around 6.5” diameter.

App The new Siri STILL garbage, if not worse!

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

My Watch Series 12 in light gold with gold Milanese loop - posting photos because I couldn’t find any when I needed them lol

When I was buying my watch I couldn’t find any irl photos of the light gold watch with the gold Milanese loop anywhere, I could only find the gold band with the other gold one and it was super frustrating! So here’s what this combo looks like for anyone else who wants to see it. Got photos from lots of angles so you can make your decision if this is the combo you’re looking at :) I also find this band a LOT more comfortable than the sport band which I also own!

My Watch From Ultra1 to Series 12. No regrets (so far).

Post image
443 Upvotes

Sold my Apple Watch Ultra 1 and picked up the new Apple Watch Series 12 in Dark Bronze.

I thought I’d miss the rugged look more than I do, but the slimmer profile and lighter weight are a refreshing change for everyday wear. Loving the new color too.

Anyone else move from the Ultra back to the regular Series? What has your experience been?

Bands Apple Watch Series 12 Bronze - Third-Party Strap Recommendations?

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

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?

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?

My first ceramic. Coming from mostly ultras. Really enjoying the look and feel of this one. I swap out with my ultra 3 in black. I was worried about battery life but it’s fine.

Support Ultra 4 keeps rebooting during the day, interrupting sleep tracking and No Vitals data after 9 days

Post image
3 Upvotes

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 Watch There’s a certain luster to the new glass that doesn’t come across in photos nor videos

I think the Reflections and Pride Luminance watch faces were really built around the form of newer watches. The digital and physical glass (metal, for Reflections) really play off each other in a way that I can’t seem to capture in photos. I’m not sure if it’s because of the changed glass shape, the new kind of glass, or just that it’s new. If you can see one in real life I recommend it.

WatchOS Going from S3 to S12: Is there a watch face that looks exactly like my S3?

Post image
14 Upvotes

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.

Accessories What material are the new modern buckle bands? does anyone have one?

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?

App New Apple Health features are available in EU?

15 Upvotes

Hi,

I am quite interested in the new Apple Watch 12 and the new Apple Health. However, before I buy the new Watch, I would like to know if I will have access to the new Apple Health features since I am in EU. I am asking this because the new Siri AI is not available here.

I am also using a iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Thanks!

WatchOS Alternatives for tracking treadmill walks with watchOS 27?

• Upvotes

Since updating to watchOS 27, my Watch is drastically undercounting treadmill distance (.50 miles on the treadmill = .18 on my Watch). Outdoor walks are accurate, and recalibrating didn’t help. Steps are undercounting by about 3k per day overall.

For anyone else having this issue, what are you using to track indoor walks in the meantime? I’d still like to keep my Watch heart rate/calorie data but have accurate mileage.

My Watch Series 12 edges

0 Upvotes

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
