I'm not sure if it was covered by the warranty or there's some repair program for battery issues? The support person asked if I had done things like swim with it (since it's an original model, that's not supported) or how long I left it on the charger (at night, when I go to bed, so usually 5 or 6 hours). So yeah, if battery issues come up, even if you're out of warranty, worth a shot going to the Apple Store or giving them a call.

They extended the warranty on battery issues to 5 years.

My battery on my 0 was messing up but a restart fixed whatever was going on. At this point this watch will keep me happy until the new ones are announced. I’ll probably jump on those (assuming they also have GPS like series 2) since I would love to not need my phone when I’m out running.

But man... give me maybe 4-8 gigs of music storage, GPS, Apple Pay, and cellular, and that's really a fantastic runner's watch. We'll see I guess.

The remote camera feature doesn't work on my series 0 after multiple restores now. Maybe that'll be a good enough reason for Apple to give me a 1.

If it doesn't work after a restore on your watch it's probably your phone that's acting up.

what's the most accurate Apple Watch exercise for tracking calorie burn? how do they compute it? my watch keeps insisting I'm burning 750-800 calories for an hour of 180 bpm exercise, which seems pretty wrong as much as I want it to be right.

Zones works well for me. It uses heart rate and the info you provide to Apple Health (height, weight, age, sex, etc). You tell it what kind of workout you're doing and that influences how it counts calories. For example, I work out with a trainer a couple times a week and I classify it as "Functional Strength Training". I'm a male of reasonable fitness and it puts me around 500 calories for an hour of hard workout.

One thing I haven't seen anyone talk about for an updated watch is for an updated screen that goes edge to edge. I think that would look better and provide a little more space for apps. That might be enough to qualify for the "redesign" Gruber talked about?

I have a couple fine dings on the edge of the face but not where the screen extends. It's nice that I don't notice those little dings since they're not over the screen. That area is also the most likely to get hit on something. Note: I'm not actually smacking this thing on stuff all the time but I have a couple times.

stars aligned strangely and I managed to snag a S1 42mm for free  . I don't feel like writing paragraphs today so have some lists.-I totally underestimated battery life. Itll never be anywhere near my former pebble, but this seems like it'll have no problem lasting me through an 8 hour shift. For some reason I expected way more battery babysitting. This is only day 3 though, and tomorrow I start work with the watch. -Best build quality of any smartwatch ive had. Comfortable to wear compared to the Fitbit Charge HR 2. Pebble Classic still felt the best (as it, was easy to forget it was there). HR monitor is to blame obviously, but at least its not as jutted out like the Charge 2. -Custom watchfaces with shortcut icons are clutch. I'd kill for a watchface that had a full 30 day calendar though. One of the really cool things I miss from the Pebble. -Screen is super nice and bright. Hopefully I don't shatter this somehow with impact. I'm a clumsy person. -  NO SPOTIFY CONTROLS -onboard siri is sick and replying to text messages quickly rocks socks.

Get a charging dock, take the Watch off at night when you sleep and forget the AW has a battery because battery life will never be a problem. I can't even remember the last time I even bothered to look at my battery level because I know my AW2 gets about 3 days.

pzy posted:lol @ an employer who would take that back instead of eating $350 in good will One time my company told me my bonus for the year. Then gave me less than half what they told me and said what I was told initially was a mistake. That felt like poo poo. It still isn't the same as giving something and taking it back though. That's extra hosed.

Coming back to clarify, it was meant for another coworker who I personally know. I wasn't really forced to give it up since I already "owned" it, but I'd rather not tarnish goodwill towards that coworker. That all said, I'm sorta mentally invested in a watch now, but like my other smart watches, it's an (admittedly cool) time saver rather than a game changer. I'm hoping for something exciting this September from apple's event, but Macrumors seems to point to a spec. upgrade instead of any landmark changes.

I just got my Series 2 in the mail today (Thanks, Aetna!) and I was very impressed when I took it to the pool this evening. It was a lot of fun tracking my laps, and I think this gamification of my fitness is exactly the push I needed. On the top of my watch-face screen is a red dot where the charging and waterproof icons usually are. What does this mean? Recording something?

As a piece of anecdata, I wear my S0 24/7 except for when I'm in the shower. It always has charge enough, even for all-night motion and heart rate tracking with the Pillow app.

Reading here that folks are getting 48 - 72 hours on an S2 is making it really hard for me to resist an upgrade, especially if there is a price drop after the S3 is announced.

I've never run my S2 down to dead, but today I've been wearing it for 3.5 hours and it's at *checks* 100%. Okay. Basically, I just don't think about the battery since it's never even close to dead.
