So here's a weird one for you. My Watch keeps prompting me to enter the password for my Apple ID. The problem is, it won't tell me which app or service wants it. I am not going to enter it until I know what wants it. Any way you can think for me to find out? My iPhone isn't nagging me for anything nor is my iMac.

I could be wrong but it sounds like that's for Activation Lock. It's used when you are pairing, unpairing, or using your watch for the first time with the feature enabled. Generally speaking, a non-contextual request for your Apple ID/password means that the watch needs it for what are a pretty narrow range of permissions/security.

I'll check that. Thanks. Not a new Watch or phone., but I did update it to WatchOS 6 when it dropped. Maybe it's related.

I’m getting that and even when I said duck it and tried to enter the password verification failed. It seems to ask me less than it did the first day but still randomly pops up. Hopefully they’ll address it.

Huh, didn’t realize that series 3 gets very few of the new watch faces with watchOS 6. Just Numerals Duo and Numerals Mono which are super basic and have no complications.

Yeah it's pretty drat annoying and transparently just to get people to upgrade. Bloody Apple. It's kind of working on me though, I do wish I had the money for a series 5. FCKGW posted:Still no digital watch face that includes seconds Activity Digital does. But yeah I wish there were more digital watch faces in general. Why can't we get a digital or analogue option for every face?

I jumped from a 40mm Aluminum S4 to a 44mm SS S5 and it loving ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuules. The always-on is absolutely worth the upgrade. Having the time and complications always available at a glance while at the desk or in bed without having to do the dumb flick wrist to my face so it turns on is such a nice change. Everything else is absolutely the same and not worth upgrading over but I'm incredible dumb and they had them in stock when I went to the store yesterday.

101 posted:Thoughts on Aluminium vs SS? I'm Aluminium S3 currently and considering SS when I get an S5 but heard it might feel significantly heavier (and obviously the cost) Well otherwise it’s shiny in both forms. Silver SS will get abrasions, the gold coating is more resistant in theory (haven’t kept track of that myself since it never interested me), and black is really drat resistant, technically harder than the sapphire on the hardness scale I think? Issue with black/gold is if it scratches you’ll have the base metal showing, whereas with just SS everything can be buffed out. Aluminum has the same issue but it’s held up fine enough for me to not give a drat. But I’m not as anal as some folks either so ymmv.

Anyone else noticing bad battery performance on their 5? Even if I don’t work out, it’s down into power reserve an hour or two before I go to bed. With my 3, I could work out (even go for an outdoor run on LTE with music) for an hour and still end the day at 30-40%.

That definitely doesn’t sound right for a 2 day old watch. Do a full restore of it and see if that changes anything. I’d visit the Apple store, if not then.

This is the longest 650 megabyte download I’ve had in a decade from one of the 5 largest tech companies in the world. I’ve set aside 2 hours 4 times now to implement this update and it never even stores the half-downloaded update file. What a loving joke.

Finally jumped on the Apple Watch bandwagon after mulling over buying one for 3 or 4 years now. It seems like the Series 5 is a good time to jump on board - if I could have afforded it, I definitely would have spent a little extra on a titanium/sapphire version. In the mean time, I picked up like a dozen Chinese bands from Aliexpress for like $25, along with a nice handmade leather band from Etsy. Does anybody know if there are any good Homekit-related apps for Apple Watch? I'm not the biggest fan of Apple's idea of filling up the Watch's screen with a giant button for each individual HomeKit device. Somebody should release a Homekit complication that lets you easily swipe between pages of Homekit items. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Sep 22, 2019 |

More anecdotal evidence, but we're getting 13.1 and iPadOS this week so hopefully there's a watch update as well.

I quite like Pillow, the free version only shows you info for the day, and you need to pay for the historical info - can’t remember if its one time or subscription though. e: It’s one time.

Thanks, will check out the trial. Two more things: You can’t view Notes on the watch???? and How do you download podcasts to the watch via Pocket Casts? There’s a section that says Downloads but it appears it does nothing.

I’m on the 13.1 public beta and while I don’t recall PB4 having watch battery issues my yesterday usage seemed right in line the with the 18 hour estimate. It was a pretty relaxed day mostly moving around the house. Enough to fill the move quota and from a full charge starting at around 10-11 it was down to 50% by 10pm. I have the audio warning and always on screen enabled so I’m expecting it to use a little more juice. With the S4 I could easily go a day and a half between charges of use was minimal. The screen may be keeping the watch right on it’s estimated use of just a day. Not a big worry for me since I have chargers at home and work so I can top it off while in the office so I can use it for sleep tracking.

I can't recommend AutoSleep enough. It's not free, but works like a charm and gives you more information about your sleep than you could possibly imagine. Nice UI as well. Has a companion app AutoWake that does that "wake you up when you're body is primed" things that I also use.

I need to replace one of the band release buttons from the back of my series 1 and can’t seem to find a part or broken watch that fits the appropriate costs. Anyone have any thoughts on how I can get it? I also don’t even know if I can just add the button or would have to replace the whole back case.

You can't download podcasts directly to the Watch using PocketCasts yet. From their site: quote:Quickly change volume, skip ahead or find something else to listen to straight from your Apple Watch. The Downloads section in the phone app and Watch app is just listing files downloaded to your phone. Hopefully they add it soon. :O Edit: Yeah, just double checked, consider the Watch app a remote control for the phone app that you have to have near by.
