OP posted:Charging is fairly quick in any case - a full charge only takes about 30 minutes or so. Is this still true? My S4 is taking about three hours to go from 10% to 90%. It's my first Apple Watch, so I don't have anything to compare it to.

comper posted:Basically when Series 5 comes out It’s too early to say either way. The series 3 went on sale probably by around Christmas , and definitely within 6-7 months. I love my Apple Watch, but it definitely does not retain its value like iPhones and iPads do. Example: I have a series 3 Apple Watch, and I have a iPad Mini 2. I checked the trade ins on both on swappa: Series 3: recently sold $240-250 iPad mini 2: recently sold for $140-150 The iPad mini 2 launched Nov, 2013. Aka it launched with the iPhone 5S. The Apple Watch launched Sept 2017. That’s both a high depreciation for the Watch (for Apple product standards) and a really good value retention for the Mini 2. rage-saq posted:No just get one, the S4 is amazing. Rant that I just posted above, unless someone has a Watch Series 3 this is probably the right answer. The series 4 screen is really, really good. I may be very jealous.

You don't have to choose a carrier (or at least GSM/CDMA) when ordering the cellular-enabled models?

There's been Black Friday sales on Apple Watches like every year, even if it's just like a gift card or something. It's certainly worth waiting for that unless you need a watch right now.

I’ve just restarted and am charging but there’s something definitely off with the battery on my watch right now. It’s down to 60% overnight when it was fully charged around 8-9pm. I could usually go 2 days between charges but the way this is using power I’ll be lucky to get a day.

Ever since I paired my S3 to my new XS max, the notifications have been... spotty. A good chunk of the time theres no haptic buzz, and the ding is barely perceptible. About half of the notifications never sound at all on the watch, and the phone is silent as well since it's relying on the watch to signal for me. I have the prominent haptics turned on, and the extra buzz fires about 10% of the time. Everything worked as expected before the shift to the new phone. Anyone else experiencing similar? Genius time?

Got my new SSB and holy moley this thing is beautiful and fast. I think this is the version where everything has been figured out and they’ve been able to execute what they envisioned for the Watch all along. My only complaint is that the watch doesn’t come in a fancy plastic box like my S0 did.

I have the phone set to vibrate so the phone will vibrate in my pocket while the watch does nothing. I can’t remember if this started with ios12 or earlier, but it’s recent. I’m hoping my inbound s4 fixes it.

I do wish you could buy without the band, especially since they have stopped giving any choices there. My wife bought the gold one but will never ever use that pink band it comes with.

You know perfectly well that if they sold it without a band it would still cost exactly the same.

gently caress sake I can’t get Strong to activate companion mode on the watch anymore. It used to be I had to uninstall/re-install the watch app then repair in the options, but now even that and rebooting doesn’t work. It’ll open my routines, then give a loading wheel, then the app crashes. What a great phone app, but a hunk of junk watch app.

Does anyone know if having two sleep tracking apps causes problems? I’d guess not, but sometimes this stuff is weird. Wanna try Sleep Watch and see how it compares to AutoSleep.

I’ve been using Sleep Watch for a few nights now, and it’s way more accurate at tracking sleep, at least for me. Last night, my sleep was interrupted several times, and the Sleep Watch data showed the gap in sleep every time I woke up. The interface is also a lot more intuitive and simple than Autosleep. So far, I’m very happy with it, and it doesn’t seem to have any conflicts when installed in addition to Autosleep. I know Autosleep is popular and highly rated, so I’m sure it works well for a lot of people. For whatever reason, it just wasn’t compatible with my messed up sleep habits. Or maybe it tracked all too accurately, and I really do survive on 1-3 hours of sleep per night.

I use Sleep Watch now after someone recommended it here and it's pretty great for me. It's the most accurate one I've tried, and the only complaint I have is that I wish I could see the detailed night view in the same screen that you use to edit/truncate your sleep (I have to truncate my mornings a bit cause I lay in bed for a bit after waking up even though I should't). But other than that, it's fine. By default it doesn't ask for Write permissions in Health, so if you're on the fence about whether or not the data is reliable you can just try it out first. I've never tried using two at a time, but I'd imagine it's fine? They both just read passive data collected by the watch and use that to predict your sleep times. e: I'm really surprised and amazed at how good this battery is. I've basically never had to "explicitly" charge the watch ever and I've been wearing it during my sleep and for at least 20m every day in the Workout app. The only times I take it off are in the morning before I jump in the shower and get ready for the day (~30-60m) and in the evening when I'm washing my face and getting ready for bed (also about ~30-60m). e2: The workout app is pretty cool. I love seeing these charts like how my heart rate drops over time after a workout, or like how it slowly builds up. The only buggy thing that I don't understand is why I don't get stand credits sometimes. Apparently it's not just standing up, you've gotta be "active" as well for 1m. Except, sometimes, it doesn't register. The other night I was frantically trying to get 12/12 stand credits before bed and even though I was pacing back and forth from my living room to my kitchen and back it just didn't want to credit me. The hour ended and I was still 11/12. I read a post somewhere that you can force it just by swinging your arms around in circles and that did the trick.

This picture isn't mine but … What the gently caress is going on there? That's 121 hours or roughly four hours of exercise every single day in October. Who has time to exercise four hours every single day other than professional athletes? I feel like I would just give up without even trying cause it's for all intents and purposes impossible.

japtor posted:Mine just says "reach your daily Move goal 25 times". I'd guess that's a bug. Or maybe the person has some ridiculous goals and based it on that? I get that the challenges are tailored to your own activities but I guess I expected there to be an upper limit. Being asked to do an impossible task isn’t exactly a motivator. Anyway is there a way to get rid of the sunset time in the Siri watch face? I wanna keep the weather panel itself, just not the sunset panel.

Eh, it's not that impossible if you walk around a lot and like you said, professional athletes shouldn't have any trouble achieving that. I sometimes think my custom monthly achievements are impossible but then I start working on them and they get a lot more reasonable. Upper limits would be kinda lame because everyone's different. OTOH the activity app refused to track my Strava workouts last month so I couldn't even make the "do 4 workouts" achievement I got in September. v  v

For cycling I definitely wanna use Strava, so am I suppose to record the workout in Strava, in Workouts (and it gets transferred over to Strava?), or both?
