Two-factor must be turned on. It was a good reminder for me because I have had two-step turned on for a long but never got around to using TFA.
Just saw the other day that there was a newer version of 2FA rolled out last year while the old one is still operating...and saw something today about some people getting locked out with the macOS beta. So uh, maybe beta people should disable it before updating everything and reenabling it.

Keep in mind that WatchOS can't be rolled back like iOS.

There's no public beta for the watch.

As for 2FA, I didn't have any issues turning off two-step and then enabling 2FA. This was after I already installed the Dev Beta 2 to my MBA, watch, and phone.

It's odd that it let me install the certificate on my watch but not the beta itself. And of course in the public beta os ios 10 it shows the new watch faces in the watch app, but if you hit add it tells you that you need to install watch os 3.

Not odd. watchOS is incapable of being rolled back to release versions.

Developers get access because they need to develop apps (hopefully on dedicated testing hardware). Beta users do not because they'd get all bitchy about their irrevocably unusable watches. (See: App Store reviews, before Apple started prohibiting users on iOS betas.)

It sounds like you installed the iOS beta profile to your watch. You can do that, but it won't do a drat thing. You need the WatchOS beta profile installed on the watch. I'm not gonna link it here, but you can find it if you really want to.

Where did you get your band? I wonder if it's a legit one. I've got a few different bands, but no leather ones, and I don't see any codes on anything.

monkeu posted:

If you scan the QR code does it give you an offer from the prince of Nigeria?

Sorry I totally forgot I posted this.

The band is real but it was given to me from an internal source at Apple, so I guess it's from internal tracking/testing/whatever.

Was just wondering because I was considering selling one of the bands. Probably won't now.

Lol, so apparently Apple stole my former Boss/Mentors app for Breathe.

Now go look at his app that came out 3 years ago:

Hey man, it's hard to update your product description for your app you haven't supported in the three years since you launched it.

I just got the 38mm sport yesterday. How important is it for me to a get a case and screen protector? Also, will the band it came with end up being annoying enough on my wrist that I'll want to buy an alternative?

I'm thinking of getting a case and different band simply out of aesthetics, anyway.

Return it, get the stainless steel model, and never worry about a case or screen protector.

I have a milanese band and a bunch of different sport bands. I wear a sport band 90% of the time because they're drat comfortable and look as good as new.

I have the stainless steel so I can't speak to the need for a case, other than cases look awful. Really really awful. If you're ok with spending the money on a case and screen protectors, do what the other guy said and upgrade to the stainless.

My aluminum watch looks a little beat up after six months, but nowhere near as bad as it would look with a case on. It's not like I expect resale value of these to be particularly good in any case.

Maybe I just have bad taste, because I like the look of some of the floral design cases.

I think a case and protector is completely unnecessary. The only scratches I have on mine are from face planting on a concrete sidewalk from a running pace--and even then I was surprised the damage was as small as it was.

Not at all important. My grey sport is almost 10 months old now and there are no (visible) scratches on either the face or body. I'd suggest getting AppleCare and just not worrying about the watch.

Yeah, I got AppleCare. I don't expect to be doing much of anything that might bang up the watch too much, hopefully.

A protective case for a watch is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Buy the stainless steel / sapphire version or don't bother buying it at all. Strangely enough stainless steel and sapphire are the materials watches have been made out of for like a century now. If you put a protective case on a regular watch you'd look equally idiotic.

I got one of those cheap silicon cases for free with a watchband I purchased on Amazon, and I put it on my watch for a few days just for the hell of it I noticed one day after working in the yard that the case trapped my sweat against and around the watch. I took it off and threw it away. I definitely don't recommend any case just because of that instance, even if the thing is water resistant. Any dirt and whatnot trapped in there could have scratched the watch up pretty good if I hadn't noticed.

That silicon case I mentioned before was barely noticeable when installed, but still a terrible idea. I couldn't imagine putting something that looked like a g-shock on an Apple Watch. What's the point? Make a good looking watch terrible?

The Golf Now app has Apple Watch support and I used it this weekend. It was pretty nice. If the course is in their system you can check how far away you are and even input your score on the watch.

It suited my needs but that was literally the only golf app I've tried so I have no idea if there's anything better.

I might be getting a refurb one tonight.
