If I, say, - found an Apple Watch (1st gen, os 2.2) loose in the grass in a park on a sunny evening, no one near it - went around to some beat cops who said to keep it cause no one ever claims anything - messaged a few phone numbers I found on it, but everything was in Arabic and got no responses, and anyway the time is set to Riyadh so the tourist probably went home and bought a house made of Apple Watches to fill with his blood diamond encrusted lamborghini collection - lodged it with the cops for more than a month and had it returned to me when no one came forward to claim it Would that Apple Watch be usable to anyone? Is it possible to factory reset a watch with no passcode and no phone? I have seen that done with OS 1.0 on a 1st gen when it first came out, in a scare story about how stealable they are, but is that still possible? I don't want to sell something with somebody's info on it, in Arabic or not, and I was playing with the idea of a phone upgrade so I could give it a go myself (unlikely). I realize this sounds like a lengthy way of feeling out what to do with a stolen Apple Watch but this did actually happen to me.

It sounds like you did the best you could to get it to its owner. Depending on the settings it may require entering the original owner's Apple ID credentials when attempting to wipe/reinstall the OS. Give it a shot and see what happens.

Does it need to be on a charger or anything for a reinstall? Not sure how far to take this considering they're like thirty bux.

I think the latest watchOS actually requires it to be charging to update. They skip right over the "maaaaybe you should consider putting it on the charger for this" part because the poo poo takes like a half hour with the screen on the entire time.

Endless Mike posted:That doesn't matter since you shouldn't be wearing an Apple Watch to anything remotely formal. Dr. Tim Whatley posted:He wasn't wrong, do you never leave the basement? Are you guys serious right now? The stainless steel apple watches are totally fine to wear to formal events as long as you pair with a nice band, what is wrong with you people? Maybe it's because I work and live in Silicon Valley but it's 100% totally fine in any formal event that I've ever been to. I'm trying to imagine an event that's too formal to wear the space black stainless with link bracelet, completely drawing a blank here. Please describe a formal event in which such a watch would be regarded as "basement dweller" behavior because I am really fuckin' curious.

Taima posted:Are you guys serious right now? Black is not at all common for dress watches, for that matter. Link bracelets are not particularly dressy, either, being usually worn on sport watches. And frankly, if you're wearing anything more than semi-formal, you shouldn't be wearing a watch at all. Endless Mike fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Nov 14, 2016 |

Here we are talking about watch etiquette when attending formal events yet people have their phones on them regardless which are way more distracting and rude to pay attention to/use than any sort of watch.

The next time I have a party at my beach house I'll hand out flyers about how we are actually "man children scraping and clawing in vain" lol Whatever makes you feel better

Taima's response was reaaaaaallllly loving lame (lol @ beach house but lmao @ printing flyers) but a stainless steel apple watch is totally fine to wear at any formal gathering, imo. It's a nice looking watch.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Seriously though I probably shouldn't have said that, true. It's really lame to boast about one's situation. I just thought it was funny that he was categorizing SV as a bunch of man children and felt compelled to respond. Ultimately my fault, carry on.

eddiewalker posted:I like the activity rings a lot. What does your fitness watch do that the AW can't? smackfu posted:Can the Apple Watch do interval timing, and tell you when you are off pace? With all that in mind, I'm really digging the Apple Watch so far! It's a fun little gadget, and for what it's worth, it's surprisingly handsome as far as fun little gadgets are concerned. I appreciate all the app recommendations. Or non-recommendations. The base feature set is pretty rad, and third party stuff seems a little more lackluster. It makes me appreciate how well made this little thing is and just what Apple was envisioning for it. I love that my phone can be perpetually silenced. I do wish it could give me more hardcore metrics, though. For such a powerful computer on my wrist, it's a little bit of a bummer that its idea of "fitness" is geared mostly around getting desk jockeys out of the chair for a few minutes. That's definitely a good thing for most people, but I'm craving a little bit more out of it than that. (I'm still putting on my Forerunner when I go for a run, obviously.) Nitpicking aside, it's a lovely little gadget and I'm looking forward to spending more time with it.

Man my watch pissed me off royally yesterday. Whatever I was wearing had to have been triggering the watch left and right. I'm walking down the street and my volume is just all over the place. It's sending random texts to my dad. I pull my sleeve up and it's on a random app every time. The last time it put itself into swim mode. I ended up locking it but that was annoying since I actually do use it to do things like control my phone's music, etc, so I had to unlock it before I could do anything else.

The stock workout app does have have interval tracking functionality. I don't know if it's enough for "data junkies," but it's accessed by double-tapping the screen while in a workout.

So suddenly my watch's battery has gone to poo poo. Eight hours and under 50%? Previously I could go over 24 hours and be over 50%. What the gently caress is eating my battery

I have one but it got sweaty because I've never had a nylon one and worked out in it and now the colors aren't as bright and cool looking so I never wear it. Wondering how to wash it.

Oh wow you got one? I am close with some guys who work on the watch and they were all pretty pissed that they didn't get one. No one that I know was able to get one through back-channel politics either, which is uncommon as I'm sure you're aware. Good on you bud. I'm jealous. I heard you can find some on ebay, for anyone who really wants it. Taima fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Nov 17, 2016 |

Duckman2008 posted:Did you try them on? Beyond price, I found the stainless steel one to be heavier on my wrist, which I didn't like. And if you're main thing is fitness, that can be a factor. yeah I didn't notice a difference but I was trying the 38mm for my tiny baby wrists which might be the reason? stainless steel looks way better but I'm a cheapo so I might go with the aluminum in case I have the urge to upgrade next cycle. I've been debating getting a series 1 since I won't get any use out of the waterproofing and little to no use out of the GPS but will it significantly hurt resale value?
