japtor posted:Latest beta apparently gets rid of the crown press that centers the app grid on the watch icon. It just goes straight back to the watch face if you press it while on the app grid That was always the dumbest thing. Why would I want to center the home screen on the watch app but not actually enter the app itself?

I think it was supposed to be the Watch equivalent of pressing the home button on the iPhone - when you're on the springboard(?), it takes you to the first page of apps.

Sure, but that seems more about arbitrarily forcing watchOS to behave similarly to iOS than actual consideration of utility.

It's an actual condition that happens with phones, the phantom vibrate in your pocket when you don't even have your phone on you, so I'm not surprised it's happening with the watch, too.

Last night my watch didn't charge and I figured out it was basically the watch though it was using an "unauthorized" charger. Are there even third party chargers out yet. Obviously this is a bunch of bullshit.

Some article came out recently from a purchase tracking app that said sales dropped 90% and the internet is freaking out. There are no real sales numbers and won't be.

Yeah the data is incomplete at best (U.S.-only internet sales of people who opt-in to their tracking service) and does not account for the watch finally being available for purchase at retail Apple Stores in June nor does it track international sales, among other factors.

They announced in advance that they wouldn't release numbers. We'll see how well that holds up if it really doesn't sell well after the launch.

They'd just say "we won't release numbers, like we said previously, but they're selling like hotcakes!" If it sells more than the commonly expected numbers, they'd only gain by saying "look, we sold a mountain more than you all thought we did, here's the numbers to prove it." Yeah or no?

I took a fall on the road while jogging this morning and managed to land wrist down on my watch. The sapphire was fine, a little rock dust on it from when I contacted the road. That was cool.

The Apple Watch doesn't need, but will certainly get 2 million sales it's first year. Anything more than 2 million and less than 4 million is great and anything more than 4 million is spectacular, as far as this niche market is concerned. I doubt anyone at Apple is concerned in the least, what with the inevitable boost Watch OS 2 will provide.

So we're all in agreement that wearing the Apple Watch around water and potentially swimming in a lake is A-OK? I know a lot of people did water tests when it first came out, but I don't know what the final consensus was beyond "Hey, neat, it works I guess."

I know a lot of people did water tests when it first came out, but I don't know what the final consensus was beyond "Hey, neat, it works I guess." It is waterproof for 30 minutes submersion (and that's a conservative guideline, one of those tests said) so I think that wouldn't be a problem but I'm still paranoid about it falling off while swimming and particularly with swimming in lakes I'd worry too much about sand getting caught in it or scratching the surface up. I'll probably give it a whirl when/if my current watch becomes my backup watch after version 2 launches.

japtor posted:Yeah I'd expect it to be broken out at some point if/when it becomes more established, both in sales and software (particularly cause how much reliance on iPhone there is for now). In any case the next quarterly should be interesting just cause even if it just does ok the effect should still be noticeable in whatever category numbers it's being stuffed into. They might as well reshuffle the iPods in there too if they haven't already. Yeah, the articles all went with the big scary "Sales drop 90!%!" title, but the actual numbers looked fine.

Also there weren't any actual numbers. The best they could provide were estimates, and you have to figure yourself whether you trust their methodology.

Agronox posted:and you have to figure yourself whether you trust their methodology. Someone mentioned US only before, and out of that subset it's down to people willing to give out email credentials to let them scan for receipts. And other than that I don't know if they collect much (if any?) demographic data. So basically as far as proper survey/statistics methodology they seem to be a sham, last I looked into it all I could find were hand wavy claims. It might be fine for predicting "if we had more Slice app users this is how they'd shop" but not so much for extrapolating results to the whole country, much less the world. There could be a lot more watches out there. Or a lot less. Or somewhere in between. In any case I like mine, and especially glad I had it yesterday with some family drama just cause I didn't have to pull my phone out (and/or keep it out) for the billion messages that came through

I don't know why people were ever following their numbers to begin with. I guess it was a matter of "Apple isn't giving us anything so we'll publish whatever we can find." I love my watch as well.
