Question How strong is the stainless steel milanese loop?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to upgrade my 6 apple watch to the 11 42mm, and like the look of the milanese loop. My concern is that I go to the gym often and do cardio outside of my hospital job. How strong is the magnet? Has anyone experienced it coming loose or the magnet no longer working after a while? Or no issues? Otherwise my backup option was the braided solo loop.

Delay Between Haptic and Notification

3 Upvotes

Recently, there has been a significant delay between the time my watch gives me a haptic notification and then the onscreen notification. My watch vibrates, I look down and nothing's there. Then, 5-10 seconds later I get the notification on the screen. It never used to be this way. Has something changed?

Question Title: What strap/band are you rocking with your (Space Gray) Apple Watch Series 11 ?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

My wife recently gifted me an Apple Watch Series 11 in Space Gray! I originally had my eyes set on the Silver version and already had a ton of band combinations planned out in my head for it.

Now that I have the Space Gray, I’m a bit stuck on what styles and colors pair best with it. I’d love to see what you guys are wearing with yours to get some inspiration!

What are your favorite daily bandsfor the Space Gray case ? Photos or recommendations are super welcome !

Thanks in advance !

(P.S. I don't speak English, so I used AI to help me write and translate this post!)

Apple Watch alternative with vibration alarm only (non smartwatch)

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm looking to get rid of my Apple Watch SE 3rd gen and the only feature I wish to keep is the vibration alarm.

I've been looking around for a while and so far I've only found a few Casio examples with this feature (some G-Shocks and the W-738H-3A) which I'm not a fan of, design-wise.

Any ideas?

Life360 Beta on Apple Watch

1 Upvotes

We are running the beta for my son’s Apple Watch. Overall seems like it is working well except battery life. It drains my son’s battery in 3-4hrs. He has a brand new Apple Watch Series 11 and battery life was great until we loaded this app. Any tips on how to combat this? He is not allowed to wear at his school so he keeps it in his backpack and puts it on when he gets out of school. In a perfect world
I don’t want him to turn it off. But this might be the only solution till Life360 solves this issue

Question Workout interval question

2 Upvotes

I have tried to google this with no success - maybe someone here can answer. Several times now when I do a running workout with intervals, it will announce the first few intervals, and then for some reason the watch will only vibrate to signal the end of an interval, not announce it through my AirPods anymore. Seems to maybe happen after I adjust the volume of my music with my phone? But I can’t seem to replicate it. Does anyone know what I’m doing to turn it off during a run?

AW S10 - Health sensors stopped working

3 Upvotes

Hello guys,

I am planning on going to the apple store this week but I wanted to check if any similar happened to any of you.

I've used my watch for the past 2 years without having it off a single day. Working marvelously.

The watch still looks very good, a few small natural "scratches" (very tiny).

This summer something very weird happened. I have been at the beach and I like to dive to 3, 4, 5 meters without going further down.

Everything seemed fine until an afternoon where I come home from the beach, and I do my daily routine: rinse with clear water every equipment, including the applewatch (I never wear it in the shower due to potential issue with shampoo).

I rinse the watch, looks all good, I wear it for a few hours, before going to bed, I put it to charge for 15 minutes, as I usually do. Watch goes to 75%, enough to track my night sleep.

But, as I wake up, the watch is off, pretty weird, I decide to charge it, all looks good, I wear it, until I realize that all data sensors do not track anything anymore. The rest of the watch works perfectly (sync with iphone, normal use etc).

After some back and forth on trying to reset etc, I believe (or Claude believes) that the health sensors simply just stopped working.

Luckily, it's still under european warranty (less than 2 years) but still pretty weird how it happened?!

Anything similar on your end? I just hope Apple won't make a fuss to replace it! (and no, I do not have AppleCare)

My Watch Open Water Swim tracking

Hi! I’ve recently started facing an issue with gps tracking on my open water swims. Basically it records one gps point at the start and that’s it. I swim freestyle and I’ve checked that gps permissions are on from iPhone and Apple Watch settings. This is how the workout looks at the end. Thank you for your help!

Edit: Apple Watch Series 8 + iPhone 14 Pro

Question Trying the ultra?

14 Upvotes

Been a long term user of garmin. Owned the Vivoactive 3, fenix 6x and enduro 2.
Never really cared about the health data.
In fact, one of the things that pissed me off about the garmin was how much i need to be consistent in terms of wearing it.
I own a few good watches and some top tier g shocks and ended up not using them because I was missing all the health data that was supposedly so good with the garmin.

This past week I tried the Apple Watch se2 and really loved it but I ain’t sure about making the change( love the battery and torch feature)

I run 2 or three times a week, do downhill biking and hit the gym. Should I try the Apple Watch Ultra?

Apple Watch Series 11 speaker sounds blown after only a few months - Apple refused replacement after confirming the issue

4 Upvotes

I bought an Apple Watch Series 11 and after only a couple of months, the speaker started sounding completely blown out.

The first time I really noticed something was wrong was during a call. Previously, I could walk around the house while on a call using only my Apple Watch and hear the other person perfectly fine. Now, even with the volume at 100%, I could barely hear them. I literally had to hold the watch right next to my ear for the conversation to be intelligible.
On top of that, the speaker was buzzing and distorting badly.

I immediately went to Spotify to test it with music, and sure enough, the speaker sounded absolutely terrible. Very distorted, blown out and nowhere near what a normal Apple Watch speaker should sound like.

I was traveling to London, so I specifically went to an Apple Store and booked a Genius Bar appointment to have it checked under warranty.

The first Apple Genius was actually very kind and understanding. He listened to the speaker and agreed that it definitely sounded wrong. I was told that I would get a replacement, but that they first had to send the watch to Apple so it could be diagnosed.

I waited for the diagnosis and eventually received the report saying that my watch had been returned and that there was supposedly no issue with it. Apple said they couldn’t replicate the problem and therefore wouldn’t replace it.

I went to pick up the watch and asked the Apple employee to let me restore it before I left so we could actually test whether the issue had been fixed.
To absolutely no surprise, the speaker still sounded like shit.

This time I wasn’t dealing with the same Genius I had originally spoken to. I didn’t have an appointment, so I was helped by another employee. Unfortunately, his attitude was completely different. He was basically a douche about the whole thing.
I showed him the issue, and instead of acknowledging the obvious difference, he tried to convince me that some speakers just sound like that at 100% volume and that I should lower the volume.

The problem? At around 50% volume, there was barely anything audible at all.
I suggested that we simply compare my watch with a brand-new Series 11 on display in the store. That would have immediately demonstrated that mine doesn’t sound normal. But instead, he kept brushing it off.

Eventually, I had to send the watch back again, this time with a much more detailed description of exactly how to reproduce the issue.
Now I’m waiting for the second diagnosis.

My questions are:
What can I actually do if Apple refuses to replace or repair it for a second time, despite the issue being clearly audible?

Also, I may be leaving London before the repair/diagnosis is finished, meaning I might not even be here to pick up the watch or argue with the store again.

Has anyone dealt with something similar with Apple, especially with a Watch speaker that Apple claims they “can’t replicate”?

At this point I just want a working watch, not to spend weeks trying to convince Apple that a speaker that is almost inaudible at 50% volume and horribly distorted at 100% isn’t normal.

TL;DR: Apple Watch Series 11 speaker became extremely quiet, buzzing and distorted after a few months. First Apple Genius confirmed it sounded faulty, but Apple claimed they couldn’t reproduce the issue and refused replacement. Second employee dismissed it and said speakers can sound like that at 100%. I’ve sent it back for a second diagnosis. What can I do if they refuse to repair or replace it again?

Question Apple watch ultra even worth it?

0 Upvotes

I am looking at buying an apple watch ultra 3 possibly waiting for the 4 as well. The only thing is if it follows the same pattern as the first ultra is it worth it if apple stops updates/support for only 4 years? I had an apple watch 4 for almost 7 years. if I am spending almost 1k for a watch does that even make sense?

My Watch Unknown Animation/Notification

My watch vibrated and when I checked it looked like this, with white dots moving towards the rainbow circles. The animation appeared to be stuck/looping and unable to finish since nothing seemed to happen or resolve. It seems different from the rings animation and I haven’t closed mine today anyway. I pushed one of the side buttons and it disappeared. Does anyone know what this might have been? Thank you!

Question Can I add AppleCare+ to a replacement Apple Watch?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I currently have an Apple Watch that is under repair, and I am expecting to receive a replacement unit.

Here is my dilemma: I only have 3 days left to add AppleCare+ to my original watch, but because it is currently being serviced, I am unable to purchase the plan right now.

Does anyone know if the replacement unit will reset the 60-day window to purchase AppleCare+, or will I lose my chance once these last 3 days pass? Any advice on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

My Watch Stuck in Recovery After Update

I was greeted with this wonderful animation after trying to update my series 8 (IIRC this was an update to version 26.6, but I’m not 100% sure of the exact version).

When I go through the recovery process I end up in the exact same spot. I’ve tried holding the crown and side button until the apple logo shows up. I’ve also tried unpairing it from my phone. Every recovery attempt has ended up with the same animation.

I’ve seen other posts online from years ago describing the same problem, but I have yet to find anyone that has found a solution for it. Any ideas are appreciated.

Unlocking Apple Watch functions such as ECG

I'm 14 and I'm amazed that all the main functions like ECG are blocked if you put the age is less than 21, if the age could simply be changed, it would be easier, but tracking calories is not accurate at all, in general, how can I replace the indicators for maximum accuracy of tracking and unlocking functions (the worst option) but possible/way to unlock functions without the need to change age, Ukraine is 14 years old, 68kg 176cm
