I wonder if iCloud message sync means the messages app finally syncs with your phone?

This isn't Amazon, but it's Official and about half the price. I cannot vouch for the company.

They do have a knockoff on Amazon, but it comes from China, and who knows how long that will take.

Mine seem to be syncing? Had to plug the phone in, but now it's syncing. And I opened message on my mac and in that account's preference, I turned on messages in the cloud and told it to sync.

Hmmm I’ll have to check it out. Probably still have to go back and delete all these old messages off the watch though which is a huge pain in the rear end.

It's syncing phone to watch for you and vice versa? I've gotten sync to work between my iPad and phone but my watch isn't.

Anyone gotten a knockoff sport loop without the slightly mis-sized lugs?

I finally coughed up the money for the official sport loop, and even though it fits better than the Amazon knock off I bought, there's still a bit of wiggle in the lugs. That might be by design. It does feel a bit softer and more well-made than the knock off. Or maybe that's just my way of justifying buying a small strip of cloth for 50 god drat dollars.

My Apple sport loop has no wiggle at all. My overpriced piece of nylon is perfect.

Yeah, the official Apple one that came with mine works great, I just would rather have a knockoff since Apple doesn't make a true black.

Hey so an official Podcasts app is coming with a watchOS update in the fall.

Maybe that also signals the ability for third party podcast apps to also do their thing on a Watch.

Yes, part of the update is that 3rd party Apps can now stream in the background. So Overcast will probably be ported.

Oh well maybe next year.

How do you track weight lifting?

I use Strong and it seems to work fine. I enter my poo poo on my phone and have the watch app in companion mode to record my heart data.

Select the "Other" category and that's pretty much it.

Or because I don't really care I just leave it on 'indoor run' after I do my treadmill warmup and go move heavy chunks of metal around. It's all "wow your pace is crappy bro" but joke's on you Apple, I don't care about my pace!

But getting credit for running a mile while doing leg curls is pretty funny.

According to MacRumors, they average 445 days between releases and it's been 262 since the Series 3 launch, with the S3 having come out 371 days after the S1/2. So maybe this fall?

Rumor sites have started spinning up about a watch refresh this fall, main feature is supposedly going to be a smaller bezel so they can get a bigger screen in the same form factor.

Yeah, the fact that it got as much support as it did for as long as it did was quite a thing for a first generation Apple product.

Only three years and a few months. Which isn’t great for an Apple product but I suppose not terrible for a first gen Apple product.
