Yeah his criticism is “i could go 2 days with one charge now I can only go 1 day with a full charge (as advertised) which is about what I’m getting and I’m fine with since even before I charged daily.

Anyone have a cellular watch on xfinity mobile? Is it a true $10/month or like ATT’s “$10” a month that’s actually $15?

The $10 fee is the only watch fee that is coming from Comcast, anything else would regulatory/taxes out of their control, not sure what those would be maybe device cost taxes and 911 fees. Be careful though if independent watch use does start blowing up with like Spotify streaming and whatnot that Xfinity Mobile is going to start attributing that usage to the host phones data plan, and if it’s on a by the gig it will push that usage. Probably negligible currently.

As a rule of thumb, unless it says "fees included" anywhere, especially in the small print, it's always going to be the advertised cost and then a bit of change. Can't tell you what the cost is, but I am actually still trying to get my wife to move to Xfinity Mobile for sake of saving $20 on our phone bill and being on Verizon's network, not T-Mo's.

What does this dial do? It's listed as the "Solar SubDial", and I thought that it was relative position of the sun in the sky, buuuuuut, it's not, because it's showing that at 830pm and I'm pretty sure the sun is not still up.

It's working for me, maybe it's stuck? Sometimes complications get stuck, though your weather complication seems to work, which solar is usually tied to I think. If that's the compass to the left that seems stuck too. What's the solar watch face show? Also nice avatar/dB combo

I can’t see the data source toggles for the Siri face, did the last update break something? I just restarted my phone and watch and still nothing: edit: never mind, did some searching and the Siri toggles are in the "Clock" settings for some reason. Thanks Apple!

Is it worth getting the series 5 over the series 4? I’ve never had an Apple Watch before and have the iPhone Xr. I want to use it for sleep tracking and am fine downloading a separate app. Are there any major limitations for it as long as I plan to have it charged before going to bed ?

The major difference is the always-on display. Otherwise, it’s a bigger storage capacity (32gb over the 4’s 16), two new body options (lighter titanium and the return of gross display of wealth ceramic), and uhhhh a compass. The AOD right now kills the battery. I can still get a full day with sleep tracking out of it, but I have a feeling that a workout would kill it. Pro-tip turn off the AOD before going to sleep to save like 10% battery overnight. Hopefully this is fixed in 6.1. Otherwise...get the S4. Same screen size, same processing speed, same waterproofing, etc. I love the AOD but I’d hardly call the S5 a major release like the S4 was. It helps that you can probably find good prices on the remaining stock of new S4s right now.

I have a Series 5 44mm SS. I have been wearing mine today since 6am (it's 7:30pm) and I have 59% battery power left. This is typical. I rarely go to bed with less than 45% battery. I have AoD on. What I don't have enabled is cellular. For the people running into problems, do you have cellular and AoD on? I am guessing they are both battery sucks and together, start to push people to the edge of trouble. Given that even the people paying for cellular are saying they almost never used it, I'd just turn that off and see how it goes. You can always turn the radio back on if you'd like to use it.

With AOD off and LTE on, my battery life closer to my S4 when I’m sticking with bluetooth for 95% of the day. I don’t think it’s the cellular. Something is wrong with the AOD and draining more power than normal.

AOD definitely sucks juice. There’s gotta be a software issue with it. And presumably, you get hit with an activation fee every time you re-enable cellular service.

Is it not? I swear I asked ATT when I got my 3 and they said if I deactivate service then reactivate down the road they charge me $36 or whatever. You can’t just flip it on and off like a light switch.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:I think they mean deactivate as in “turn on the equivalent of airplane mode”. This. Even if you deactivate it the watch will still use the cell signal (though not as much) which is why you can still call 911 from a watch with no active service.

So if you want it on for your vacation in the summer, $40. MarcusSA posted:This. US law is that any device that accesses a network has to be able to call 911 at no cost, whether service is active or not.

Finally setup my Ti S5 coming from a SS S2. Holy crap it has everything I desired from my old watch. Fast, screen is bigger and brighter, and way lighter. I don't even feel it on. I'm just continuing to use the Siri face how I had it setup on my old watch and it's great. I love the AOD and how it highlights the time and when I bring it to my face things get bigger and brighter with a slick transition. Came with a grey sports band too!

Yeah, I was suggesting that you turn off the green cell radio button that's in the control panel, not deactivate the service if you have it (I don't). And I don't think that LTE is particularly bad on this edition, just that it seems like the watch is being pushed to using more of its battery budget every day than before with the addition of AoD and if you'e looking for ways to save battery without losing features, turning off LTE might work for some people.

Really happy this first day. Display is amazing and I can handle all my messaging with my watch. This is amazing. I love AOD cause I can catch info in the periphery like a normal watch. The way the Siri face lights up the time and temp, what I check for all the time, just brightens. It came with a grey sports band and a black sports band that I think I might exchange for something else. Maybe a Nike sports band? I have my black 42mm sports band from the s2 already. Maybe try one of those fabric nylon ones? Housh fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Oct 12, 2019 |

So now you can pick whatever band you want at time of purchase, the Nike models are completely silly right? Literally just the same thing but with a flag that says you can use the Nike watch faces. Or can you not pick an arbitrary band if you get the Nike model? Edit: Ah, you can’t select a Nike band in the studio unless you start with a Nike model, and Nike models can only select from Nike bands in the studio. smackfu fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Oct 12, 2019 |

What does everybody use for workouts? Apple's default app? I tried out Zones, which did a pretty good job of visualizing a lot of my workout information, but I think my favorite is WorkOutDoors, which has vector-based maps that can be downloaded directly to the watch. http://www.workoutdoors.net I really wish Apple Maps or Google Maps would let me offline download maps to the watch, too.

Been curious if there’s better options for outdoor stuff, or specific activities. My climbing friend just got a watch and mentioned Pinnacle, but looks like there’s a few other options for that. I’m also wondering about snowboarding, there’s some subscription and free options. I’ve just been using WorkOutDoors but not sure it handles snowboarding right (like if it’s tracking lifts as...lifts, ie with no energy expended).
