Boris Galerkin posted:Also what's the best sleep tracker? I've tried a few of them over this week, namely Sleep++, Sleep Cycle, and Autosleep. Autosleep gets it wrong with the automatic sleep tracking, and trying to edit it was so frustrating that I just deleted the drat app, because none of it makes sense. Sleep Cycle is an alarm and I'm not looking for one cause I just wake up at the same time every day anyway. Sleep++ is no frills but it injects complete nonsense into my Health data. I could turn that off, but I want the Health data. Personally I'd recommend giving Autosleep a longer trial - if you've tested three of them in a week it won't really have had any time to calibrate its sensitivity. After a while I've found that one really accurate, once I'd adjusted the sleep period to what I was aware of a few times.

Boris Galerkin posted:rience it's been wrong about when it thinks I'm sleeping so I need to edit the data. Lark guesses but allows you to edit the guess. But it's a whole life health coach deal that you probably don't want. But the real thing you want to do is use Siri Shortcuts to set up an action for logging your sleep time. I use it for logging weight and I just checked and indeed you can log sleep times as well.

I bought Autosleep almost immediately after I got my S3. Either the app is way too sensitive, or I am constantly moving while asleep. Honestly, it could be the latter; I've had hosed up sleep patterns my whole life.

There are fundamental limitations in the sleep tracking that phone/watch apps can do anyways. They basically equate "not moving == deep sleep" which is a pretty bad way to actually track it because it's normal to move around while sleeping or be perfectly still while awake. If you took that information to a sleep analyst they'd laugh at you and plug you into their sleep monitoring rig to get some actual data. Now that we all have heart rate monitors they incorporate that as well, which is better information, but also has limitations. That said they aren't useless, if whatever app you chose consistently shows "bad sleep" and you were convinced everything was fine it might motivate a visit to the doctor who could detect real problems, so in the long run it did a good thing.

When in deep sleep you’re effectively paralyzed so, even if you’re very still, the body is making small muscle movements here and there while awake. The question is if the watch can pick up on that, and the answer is kinda sorta. I like to lounge in my bed after waking up, and it is common for autosleep to mark it as sleeping. But unless you need 100% accurate tracking for health reasons, it’s still a decent way to see how much sleep you’re getting each night.

Anyone else have an issue where their watch doesn't update the date on the watchface until later in the day? Today my watch told me it was the 26th until about 10am.

I didn't know it had to calibrate so I guess I'll try it again since I already bought it. Quick question: how do I prepare my old watch for the giveback program? I just go to the Watch app and unpair it and that's it?

Ya - according to some page I found on apple.com, unpairing it should remove the activation lock and so on. If you wanna super double make sure, go to iCloud.apple.com and look at your devices. If it's still listed on there, remove it. Here's an apple support page article about it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205009

So what's the consensus on LTE in the watch these days? The initial reviews when the S3 launched weren't so hot, but I'm wondering if that's changed. Also, any S2->S4 upgraders here? nerox posted:Anyone else have an issue where their watch doesn't update the date on the watchface until later in the day?

I went from S2->S4 but I don’t use the builtin weather app. I use Carrot. I did notice that the weather app on the S4 does have problems on occasion. For example, I was using the Air Quality complication and it would be blank every other time I would check. I just opted not to use it - I really only care about what Carrot tells me anyway.

I gave Autosleep another chance and got rid of it again. It keeps populating my Heath data with sleep data from before I got my watch. I just want it to analyze data going forward from today. It’s annoying cause a lot of these datapoints are flat out wrong. God drat I should learn how to write watchOS apps.

I used Autosleep for several months after getting my S3, but recently changed to using Sleep Watch. I find this way better and I much prefer the interface to Autosleep. It's definitely worth a go.

The watch last year had coverage issues at first, but they’re largely fixed. I don’t use LTE often with my phone, but it now transitions pretty seamlessly, keeps a good connection, and battery life is fine. 10 months ago I did a weekend with the watch on cellular and it made it through each day fine. Maybe 30% at end of the day, albeit light use (my personal phone was getting replaced, I was using my work phone). FYI LTE on the watch works best if your phone is still powered on wherever it is. If your phone is dead or turned off, you’ll only get calls and iMessage. Any other notifications (news, WhatsApp, whatever), the phone has to be on to push the notifications to the watch.

Sleep Watch started logging data for me from the day I started using the app, so you should be good. I've not had it fill in previous days with anything. In regards to the Autosleep data, mine all erased when I removed it from the Data Sources & Access section within Sleep Analysis in the Health app, so not sure why it keeps coming back for you

Just a quick update, Sleep Watch has been pretty great. The app itself isn’t as confusing as Autosleep nor does it look like a unicorn threw up all over my screen. It’s analyzing data starting from Wednesday which is fine because that’s the night I started sleeping with my watch on so it doesn’t tell me I was asleep every time my phone was plugged in. And I haven’t had to edit any of the nights yet cause its perfectly reasonable. So thanks for the suggestion. My only concern is that the app and service are free so who knows what they’re doing with my data.

Similar to iOS 12, it’s more of a fit and finish release so it seems to speed stuff up when I was using it on my S2. If that doesn’t work, a full unpair can often help.

So I’m weak willed and switched from a 42mm S3 to a 40mm S4 while checking them out since they had 1 left in stock. The bigger display on a smaller frame is really loving awesome, the dumb rear end watch face with 8 complications is cool and everything is even faster compared to the already fast S3. Gotta call T-Mobile now to cancel the old watch line since apparently there isn’t a seamless watch to transfer the service from one watch to the other because of the esim cards?

Basically yeah, it opens a new line even if you say “transfer cellular” in the watch pairing. It’s easy to cancel with your carrier though, the backend infrastructure probably isn’t there yet like it is for mobile.

I have small wrists and the 42mm S3 was just there at that point of large but not too big. 44mm model on the other hand felt loving huge so that was a no go. The screen on the 40mm is gorgeous and with bezel being smaller you have a bigger display than the 42mm on a smaller body. Feels just right.

My watch like...desynced from the phone? Tried updating to 5.01 and got errors being unable to connect. Restarted phone and it’s clear my watch isn’t talking to my phone since adding new watchfaces does nothing and it’s connected to wifi (disconnecting gives the phone out of range icon). And tried unpairing but that errored out and now my phone has no watch paired but the watch is still acting like no phone in range???
