When I customize my watch, it only adds fifty bucks for the Milanese Band. Isn’t normally $100 more than the standard sport loop? Cause that’s a decent $50 off if it’s not a bug.

Is it because the Watch just won't come with the sports band at all? The sports band alone retails for 50.

The link bracelet is nice. I still have my S0 link. It's in great condition. I don't know about the silver, but the space black variant of the watch and band have some sort of coating that makes them drat near invincible.

Does the series 3 get the  loud noises functionality or just the 5?Im probably gonna buy the series 3 watch from the person at work for a steal now that the 5s are announced, although I really want that functionality as I tend to do go to a lot of loud venues and would like to know if its risking my hearing. I wear earplugs to concerts but even some bars/clubs can be too loud and I noticed the ringing in my ears afterwards.

I religiously take my earplugs with me if I go anywhere I know is loud or havent been to before, but its other impromptu stuff or non-music related things like power tools that I totally blank on until Im 20min in to using a hole saw on sheet metal and wondering why I cant hear anything.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Guarantee that Apple is going to restrict that to the 5 because reasons. during the beta the noise app was only on 4, not series 3.. In the past they’ve had features (swimming workout for example) on the s0, during beta season but once the s2 came out the function went away. Would not be shocked if it’s 5-only but I highly doubt it will get onto the series 3..

Reposting this because the original has literally disappeared from the thread and my posting history: Both ismoothrun and Runkeeper on my Apple Watch keep stopping their audio cues after several uses. I've reinstalled both multiple times and keeps happening. It's infuriating. Any ideas?

Nothing useful; I am hopeful the next watchOS let’s developers do more on it. I only have 4-5 apps on mine, and barely use those ones too. Apple has not allowed developers to use the best API’s on the watch which means a lot of apps are not Great. Or possible...

Violator posted:That looks super nice. The link is nice but it’s kind of a dress band imo if that makes sense. I’m not a huge fan of typing or doing anything too active with it on. The silver version also scuffs kinda easy on the bottom if you rest it on/move it over the wrong surface. Super pretty though for a bit dressier look.

I guess Apple-Only faces make more sense now that we have always-on displays, and they’ve definitely designed some to read better with the low-light display. I’d still rather have third-party faces (also, Apple would make bank selling them), but at least it makes a bit more sense?

Engadget claims to have confirmed from an Apple rep that you can disable the always-on screen on the 5. No word on battery life impact. quote:Fortunately, if you feel as I do, an Apple spokesperson confirms that it is possible to disable the always-on feature.

What kind of use do they take into account? Because as of now, my 4 lasts for about a day and a half. No idea what it would do if the face was always on. If it will double my battery life I might upgrade — and 18 hour battery life with the screen on all of the time makes me think four days with my usage level might be feasible. I’m not sure why this information is difficult to find out but I guess focusing on the 18 hour life is the priority.

I’m sure it won’t be a massive jump in battery life with that disabled or they would have advertised it.

There's no way you're gonna get double the battery life. The idle screen goes into a super super low-power mode that only shows certain screen features to not affect battery at all. If an always-on screen had that much of an impact on battery life them they would be touting the extra battery life as a headlining feature, not an always-on screen. It's gonna add like an hour of battery life with it off and people are going to be mad for some reason.

I feel like the battery life gains from the AW5 screen being off is going to be extremely minimal. The screen and display driver are where all of the efficiency improvements are coming from, a more efficient OLED and a display that only updates once per second are going to take an extremely small amount of power. The battery is only so large and a pretty big chunk of the power usage comes from the display. I could see scenarios where the low power always on display could increase battery life by decreasing the frequency of doing a “full wake up” of having the brightness turned up and the screen going to 60hz.

Apple always downplays battery estimates, so it’ll be decent. Most people are getting more than 18 hours from their watches. It also means when we get multi-day battery life that it WILL last that long. So many other watches promise like five days and die well before that.

I wish they offered the stainless and other more durable models without the cellular. I'm okay with paying a small premium for the durability, but I hate throwing away an additional $100 for functionality I'll never use (or even buy service for). Just going to have to go with an aluminum one again and cross my finger I don't scratch the screen too much (since others have asked, this has happened to me when falling/bumping into stuff, usually while doing something active)

I don’t think I’m upgrade my Apple Watch, but I would be really torn on the always on display. My first apple warch was me switching from Pebble (RIP) to it, and I remember liking that it was NOT always on. Especially because I face customers all day, and it was really awkward with the pebble to get notifications like “gently caress so and so” and having to quickly turn my watch away from a customer. From the looks, I’m assuming apple wont be showing notifications unless it’s raised to look, but still. I have never felt like I needed back any type of always on display.

Yeah I'm curious how they're handling notifications, or if there'll be an option for that. There's been times where I've felt them come in while the watch was within view and I couldn't tilt or tap, so I'd have a use for that.

I'm going from s2 stainless to s5 titanium. I bought a refurb s2 when s3 came out to try out the watch and besides AirPods, it's my favourite and most used Apple device.
