I swap between two watches (S2 and 3, keep the S2 with a case for rock climbing gym) and the drain seemed abnormally bad for the watch I wasn't wearing...like faster than when I'm actually wearing it. I just put the S2 in power reserve mode now, although it takes long enough to start back up I guess I might as well shut it down.

BoyBlunder posted:This is a good idea - thanks. How does it work for alarms? Does the watch still light up when your alarm goes off? WithoutTheFezOn posted:No. Half the point of theater mode is keeping the screen dark. It’ll vibrate on alarm, though. This was actually a question I was looking for an answer to- can you set the watch to vibrate when an alarm goes off (in lieu of the phone vibrating or making noise?) This would be great for not waking my SO up when I have to get up early. Can all versions of the Watch do this, if so?

Edit: looks like Amazon had a deal last week for $199 for the 38 mm Series 3. I’ll jump on it next time it comes around! Referee fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Feb 16, 2019 |

I was sure the 38mm would be right for me since my wrists and hands are pretty thin for a man, but the 42mm was perfect.

AliExpress sellers who offer E-packet shipping are the best shot for a good price and making sure you get the goods, and get them fast. My experience with knockoff Apple Watch bands from Amazon was paying double what I did on AliExpress and waiting five months for the product to show up!

Some 16 year old kid from Australia is cranking out quality watch apps. Check out MiniWiki - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/miniwiki/id1448143759 Wikipedia on your watch. What a world to be living in.

I have mirror my iPhone on all main notifications (messages, mail, phone). When i receive something on my phone it vibrates, but I get no notification on my watch (vibration or noise). I keep my watch on silent but I should still receive the haptic notification correctly? When my phone is on silent it still vibrates but nothing on my watch. I’ve deleting and resyncing to phone, but hasn’t helped. Series 3. I never had this issue on my series 2.

Am I missing the complications, or is there not one for “Now Playing”? If I pause music on my phone for a couple hours, iOS usually closes the app. When I’m ready to listen to music again I’d like to click play on my watch instead of my phone.

There is a Now Playing complication, but it’s a long one. Requires a whole top/bottom edge, not just a corner. As in, it’ll fit on the Utility face, but not Simple.

It is. My low effort compromise is to have two watch faces installed and swipe between them for the complication I need.

In the workout app, the running distance is shown in blue during a workout now. I swear it used to be a different color and don’t know how I changed it. Am I losing my mind?

If you tap the distance it creates a split or some poo poo. I think you have to tap it again to clear it.

Oh cool, my watch gave me 18 minutes of exercise credit today during the time I was sitting down in my car without the workout app running. Yet somehow when I walk 20 minutes to work with the workout app on it gives me like 5 minutes of credit, 10 if I’m lucky.

Are there any good milanese loop knockoffs? A lot on Amazon seem to be too cheap to be any good. I'd happily pay in the $30-50 range for something decent, but everything seems to be around $15 range (which is fine by me if there actually are any good)

The one I got a month ago for  is fine, but isn't available any more.

I bought one like two years ago and while it slightly loosens every so often it was $10 instead of $100 and still looks flawless. The coated ones tend to flake from what I hear.

We’ve compared the knockoffs to the real one in an Apple store and I think the only way to tell is that the link size was slightly different. I’m not sure how someone could make a better quality copy that anyone would care to pay for. The coating can wear off on the cheap ones but you can just buy a new one as needed and still come out way ahead.

I have one that’s two years old from a Chinese Amazon supplier that still looks good. Another good suggestion for a nice band cheap: check places like TJMaxx, Marshall’s, Winners, etc. I found a Monowear stainless steel dress band, which retails over $100 for $26 CDN last fall. Definitely a step up from the generic bootlegs.
