At least sundials are round

The romans would kick Jony Ive's rear end if he tried to make a square sundial

The iPod says "I can't make a phone call because I have no cellular radio".

The sundial says "I can't tell the time because there's no sun in here".

The internet mobile communicator says "I can't connect to anything because there's only one bar...and we're in it!"

I'll be here all week :downsrim:

Guys it's Hermes, their handbags can get up to six figures. That watch is a cheap entry into the brand and will probably move a lot of units.

Yep, their most basic men's wallets start around $1,100

Yeah, they're already out on amazon/ebay/alibaba and look just fine. Before the Hermes was even released, I saw some 3rd party cuff bands on Amazon and thought even then that they framed the watch better than a regular band.
But you don't get the Hermès watch faces :v:

(And apparently Hermès is in the iOS autocorrect dictionary)

Activity seems to be having a hiccup due to there being 25 hours today (in Europe); surprised they didn't think to incorporate Daylight Savings in this timekeeping device.



e: Holy gently caress, it actually straight up crashes if you try to go to the Stand wheel between 11pm and 12am.

New Apple Watch junkie here. Is there a way to limit the preview length in Mail notifications? The watch app shows only a couple lines preview in the inbox, but new message notifications show the entire email sometimes, which makes it a pain to get to the options at the bottom. Am I missing something obvious here?

Cover it with your hand and activate it again (tap, button press or raise your wrist). You should be back on the regular watch face now.

I guess I'm looking more for a way to easily access the mark as read/archive options. Seems like doing that would just give me access to the normal notification "Dismiss" option. Is my only choice to scroll way down or switch to the mail app?

I had no clue about cover to turn off the display though. Did it a couple times on accident, nice to know how to do it on purpose. Thanks!

Hmm, how about force press? Seems like that should bring up a menu with options.

Inside the settings you can only set the preview to 1 or 2 lines, but notifications sometimes ignore that from my experience.

Didn't work either. Guess I'll have to go into the mail app or scroll all the way down to archive or whatnot. First world problems.

Have you tried swiping the message from right to left? That may/should give you a "... More" button which you can tap and mark it as read.

I'm surprised that the watch hosed up so badly on daylight savings. When I travel across time zones west it handles it like a champ and I think even gave me 2 standing points for the same 1 hour window. One would imagine it would treat daylight savings the same way.

Yeah. That works in the app, but not on the initial notification. Tried on the body and header of the notification. Which, it doesn't seem to work if you're reading a message in the app either, so I guess it's somewhat consistent at least.

I had to unpair my old watch and back up and carrier unlock my phone. I'm now setting up the new phone to which the watch will be paired. Should all be done in the next few hours.

Some cuff watch pics.

I really like it. Feels great, the leather has that luxury leather smell, and it's not tight on the wrist at all.
