The man has good taste. It’s going to be a painful couple of years moving forward but it’s gotta happen. Thanks for the recommendation I’m definitely going to check that app out.

The hockey tracking app indicates I am a bad player unfit to play the game, so frankly it's not worth any money until they fix that.

I went 38mm and never looked back. I have relatively small wrists however. What sealed it for me was nearly all of the employees wore 38mm at my fruit stand; two of them said they wore the 42mm at first but it felt too large. It's all personal preference of course. I also live in Lilliput for what it's worth.

I left the house today and walked outside at what I would consider a faster than "brisk" pace, and Watch said that counts as "movement" but not "exercise." What the gently caress, Watch? I'm OUT of the HOUSE. That's EXERCISE!

Congrats that your HR isn’t very elevated while doing light tasks? You can manually start a walking exercise that will count toward daily goal regardless.

Is there a reason why the watch just flat out refuses to register standing? It oddly happens later in the evening, where it'll remind me to stand and I'll stretch for a bit and it just refuses to give credit. I'll even walk around for a minute and nothing.

I think arm position matters. If I’m sitting and let my arm hang down I get standing credit notifications sometimes.

I found it got better when I committed to starting frequent "Other" workouts for doing tasks that aren't necessarily exercise but do raise your heart rate, like yard work for example. Now it seems to be pretty good about giving me exercise credit for strenuous activities on its own.

I'm looking for a pomodoro app for my series 0 watch. I'd like it to be minimal fuss and I don't need any time tracking or data analysis or anything. I just want to set my intervals (e.g., 25/5) and pres butan and then the watch should tap my wrist every 25/5 minutes. I don't want to have to manually acknowledge anything (like, I don't wanna press "okay" or "continue"); it should just keep tapping every 25/5 minutes until I say to stop. Does anyone have suggestions? It could be an iPhone app too that sends notifications but the important thing is that I don't want to interact with it in any way other than pressing start and end a few hours later.

So if I'm getting an Apple Watch for someone, and I decide to get GPS + Cellular, and their current iPhone is on Verizon, do I have to purchase a separate contract through Apple with Verizon at the time of purchase? Or do I just throw the phone at them and tell them to figure it out? If I could get the contract separately it'd be ideal, but if not, maybe I'll get the GPS only..

Just going through the purchase thing, it doesn't ask anything about carrier stuff, so I assume you just buy the service after the fact.

When they connect it to their phone, the Watch app will say "hey this is an LTE do you want to sign up for data with your verizon plan? you get 3 months free" or something similar. The user can handle it all on the phone.

Is there a way to mass delete messages off the Apple Watch? The Messages app is super sluggish and im not sure if its because I have so many messages on it. This is a Series 2 if it matters. I wish the watch in general wasn't so sluggish.

I don't think many messages are stored on the watch itself it fetches them as you scroll backwards through your message history. My Series 1 rarely feels sluggish tbh so either we have different expectations of how fast these things should be or there is something up with yours. I believe the usual advice is to re-pair it which backs it up then restores. Takes a while but is painless.

My best friend and I were playing a board game together when our phones went off simultaneously, He looked at his and immediately grabbed my phone, then went to delete what ever text I just got. I then looked at my watch and laughed at the photo of his wifes tits sent in a group chat to him, my wife and myself.

The only time I had an issue was on an Apple Watch sold by sprint (no idea why, I couldn’t figure it out).

I'm really surprised at how much more I use Siri now that it's on my wrist. For whatever reason, I just never bothered when it was on my phone, but when it's right there on my watch, I use it all the time for all kinds of little things. Being able to set reminders and timers without getting out my phone is really useful. It's obviously in need of improvement. (You're telling me I can't create a simple note without my phone?) But it's still really helpful as-is.

I have to repeatedly do this until it lets me finish an entire statement. Does anyone know whats up with it?

I just want to say it's so loving nice going out for a run with just my watch and airpods and apartment key. Also I'm just a beginner runner who's trying to run away unemployment depression and my god it just kicked my rear end.

But I commonly have three things listening: my phone, carplay, and my watch. The watch only triggers when its the closest device to my mouth.

There are a billion 0-to-5k plans out there and they all do teach basically the same process. It's super surprising how fast you improve when you stick to one of them.. the intervals seem like they ramp up way too fast and there's no way you can keep up but then you hit week 7 or 8 and are doing uninterrupted 20 minute jogs and holy poo poo it works. Hardest part is ignoring how fast/slow you're actually moving. All that matters is you finding a pace that lets you complete the workout. Once you're doing 30 minute runs that's when you start obsessing over how fast you're going in those 30 minutes.

I don’t know why on the first try it immediately stops listening assuming I didn’t say something or only got part of what I said.

My fiancée went from being “not a runner” with frequent bouts of plantar fasciitis three years ago to doing C25K with a friend and I to being on a social running team and doing multiple half-marathons per year and flying to marathons and poo poo. It’s totally doable.

Do any of the c25k apps work standalone on the watch? I did some research but all the discussion I found was from the S1/S2 days.

Yeah. Unless they’ve changed all C25K is just interval training. Run a minute. Walk two minutes. Then it’s run 90 seconds. Walk a minute. By week whatever you’re up to just running the whole 30 minutes. It’s not distance base so I’m sure you can find a basic app that just tracks the time.

iSmoothRun is the least bad run tracking app that supports intervals. Seconds Pro is my favorite interval timer for the watch, but it doesn't support distance tracking at all which is a thing runners care very much about. Pretty much everything else comes tied with a subscription IAP.
