Is there a way to disable the “longest move streak” notification but keep the other achievement notifications? Other than breaking the streak I mean.

I've decided I want to replace my OG apple watch with a series 4. But I'm not in a hurry to do it, I'd rather wait for a sale. Is there a reliable way to be alerted to deals on products like this, or should I just comb the sales papers every week?

Can any goon with WatchMaker on her/his Apple Watch check something for me? I was after a limited edition Seiko Metal Gear V watch, but they are ridiculously expensive. So much that it would be much cheaper to buy a Apple Watch and stick the Seiko's face on it. What I need from you guys is to check if the face works fine in the Apple. The face is this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c1t2avk3t7ojqex/seiko-g7575020-v35.watch And this is the presentation: https://plus.google.com/109859717122519451911/posts/Q2ynEX5B5Tz Also, any OS limitations here or it would work (or not work) with any Apple Watch series. TIA

Never heard of that app before, looks interesting. It mentions premium removes ads. Is that on the iPhone side or does it display ads on the watch? Also, is it worth $50/yr for the premium? I assume when the sub runs out, any special watch faces go away?

I’ve got an LTE series 4 watch and I’m thinking of picking up an android phone. I know non-cellular versions become completely useless when no longer paired to an iPhone, but what about the cellular models? Mine is pretty much used to check the current weather and the time, so not having access to some of the mirrored data from my iPhone won’t be that big of a deal.

The only way I can see to load apps, do the initial configuration, activate LTE, update, etc... is with an iPhone. There are stock apps, but whether they operate independently... maybe? Definitely no app updates or even system updates, though. You can always call Apple and ask.

Yeah, mine is set up already, was just curious if it could be used if the iPhone was replaced with something else. Oh well, thanks for the answers.

You could keep an old sim-less iphone in a drawer at home to do configuration stuff. But over the course of a day a cellular watch should do okay out of range of a phone.. that's the premise behind giving it a cellular connection. I bet battery life would suck though, keeping that radio running is gonna be a big drain.

You could stick your old iphone in a drawer, plugged in, on wifi, and only use it to manage the watch.

Being out of Bluetooth range or an iPhone forces the watch on cellular, which runs just fine, but will eat about 8% of your battery per hour. You 100% absolutely need an iPhone to do most of your maintenance tasks on an Apple Watch like: install apps, update to a newer WatchOS, etc. You should not attempt to use an Apple Watch without an iPhone on you regularly, it is intentionally not designed for that.

Something I always find amusing... I go to the gym in the morning and get 80% of my move goal. About ten minutes after I get home, the watch says “you only need a brisk 11 minute walk to meet your goal!” Somehow I’m breaking their system because there is no way that prompt should come up then.

It almost always tells me to go on a 17-minute walk. I think it's triggered by calorie count without taking anything else into account

I think the prompt comes up when you hit 90% of your calorie goal.

tinkerballz posted:That they are! I think you’ll be hugely disappointed if you go in expecting that to emulate a different watch. I tried to jump through the hoops for you; I installed the app but then couldn’t figure out how to get the .watch file into it - the app doesn’t support iTunes file sharing and doesn’t show up in the share sheet when trying to “use” the .watch file from e.g. Dropbox. Regardless of all that, the way these custom watchfaces work on Apple Watch is via Live Photo backgrounds. So you could think of it as having a picture of that watch as your wallpaper, with the actual time stamped over it in a fixed font and position that doesn’t match up with the design. No analogue display, and maybe a slight animation on wrist-raise that has no correlation to the current time. Basically it’s all a hacky sham because Apple don’t support custom watchfaces at all.

But over the course of a day a cellular watch should do okay out of range of a phone.. that's the premise behind giving it a cellular connection. I actually went 3 weeks with just using my work phone and my cellular Apple Watch (sold my iPhone, waited for new one to be available), and battery drain was maybe 10% more per day. The issue is actually that the cellular plan for the watch would almost definitely have to be removed on whatever Carrier plan. All the carriers have to link the watch number to whatever iPhone it’s linking to, and if you change to an android phone the system will insist in some way to remove the watch (or not work until you do) because the system will see the watch isn’t compatible with whatever android phone. Short answer: Apple Watch definitely needs an iPhone.

My watch is set to mirror my iPhones notifications. I have a group message that I have set up to not alert on my phone, but my watch is still buzzing away. Is this a common bug/feature and is there any way around it?

I think it's a bug. This happens to me occasionally. Also when I DND my watch, notifications will then start buzzing my phone even though I have it set to mirror.

Is it possible to have ring progress synced between two iphones? I have a personal phone and a work phone. I upgraded to a series 4. I want to use my old series 1 for calendar reminders from my work phone, but I don't want to wear two watches in order to avoid getting cheated on rings. I've turned on health in icloud on both and what happens is periodically the work phone goes "oh yeah" and copies stuff from personal phone, but it takes weeks before it appears.

Is there a good internet radio streaming app for the watch that can work 100% independent of the phone? The gym has wifi and I'd love me some life NPR w/o lugging £1200 around all the weights.

I just got one of these things. I installed the starbucks app or it installed itself. Whatever. Anyway, I tried to pay with it but every time I reached out to scan the screen went out. Is this because I was moving my wrist? I've seen other people use the watch to pay and it was fine so I'm assuming I need to change a setting but I couldn't find one.

Don’t know about the original thing (maybe it was mirroring phone notifications and you got a proximity notification?) but to pay with the watch you press the side button twice to bring up your payment cards, then if you have multiple cards you can horizontally swipe between them. Edit: I may have read your post wrong. Once I bring up a card, the screen stays on for at least 30 seconds, movement doesn’t affect that, and I don’t remember changing any settings regarding payments or wallet.

I was hoping this would improve some weird battery life issues, but it seems the same so far. I only get around 12 hours of use, despite not interacting with it much. I’ve tried removing all apps, restarting, and disabling background refresh, but nothing seems to improve longevity.

It should back up your stuff before disconnecting if you do it through the watch app on the phone, and the backup should be available as a choice when setting the watch up again. Choose “set up from backup” or whatever it’s called.

This happened 5 times in a row and I finally said F it and used the phone screen.

I don't use it much so can't say for sure it's for the same use you were using. Annoyingly the Apple Pay shortcut only brings up Apple Pay stuff, vs showing everything in Wallet (as it does on the iPhone).
