Yeah me too. I’m thinking it needs more time on the new watchOS or it’s a bug.

Has anyone’s activity summary-type stuff gone weird? I’d get the “Here’s what you did yesterday” notification every day around 10am or so. Now I’ll get it around...11pm or even later? Sometimes I’ll get the “You can do it, just an X minute brisk walk.” in the am when I’ve barely started my day, when previously it’d kick in after 5pm if I hadn’t closed anything.

It’s just...weird.

So 40mm is the new 38mm? I really like my Apple Watch 3 38mm in terms of screen size, not to get into an argument about wrist size. I feel like I just got this thing and there’s already two new generations 😳

Yep, 38->40, 42->44. And bands are similarly compatible, as well.

Here's a cat fucking a squid.
My S2 is all of a sudden lasting like 6 hours off the charger. Interestingly usage and standby are the showing almost the same number so clearly something is keeping it awake.

How do I troubleshoot this? I’ve already reset the watch have not installed any additional apps (didn’t help). I don’t have to reset the phone too do I? I really don’t want to lose all my two factor codes :/

Overall iOS 13 has been such a shitshow on my (admittedly aging) devices that I’m seriously considering going back to Android - at least Google would eventually fix these sorts of issues while it seems every .1 has made things worse.

How old is your S2? It could be just the battery is aging and needs to be replaced.

I think it was just before the S3 came out so a while ago now. Still it shouldn’t be awake the entire time right (i.e usage should be equal standby)?

It’s more that I have no confidence I will keep the watch for two years.

On another topic, in the Activity app, I am getting “needs more data” for a bunch of trends which I think is odd since I’ve been using my old watch for at least a year now. Stuff like “Stand Minutes” where it should have data. Happening to anyone else?

Stand minutes is a new thing for new watchOS so won’t have been recorded before you updated

This may be true of other apps but Microsoft Authenticator can backup 2FA codes.

Yeah I wish I’d chosen the auth app more carefully rather than just installing the Google one (which doesn’t support backups so far as I can tell)

Anyway the issue appears to have been fixed by doing a full backup and restore of the phone using iTunes which was actually a quick and painless process.

Does MS Auth support standard TOTP codes? Because I wouldn't mind putting all my 2FA eggs in that basket.

Yup. I’ve been using it for a few years and all of my TOTP codes except my work one (Duo) are in there.

Anyone using Carrot Weather and had trouble with it updating the complication on watchOS 6.0.1? I noticed in last week or two that it hasn’t been updating consistently.

Trying out Hello Weather for giggles to see if that’s any different.

In my experience, all weather complications suck and don’t update regularly at random points.

I used to think that but on the S5 I've been having great success with Dark Sky.

The only thing is that if you are traveling it's not super great at dynamically changing the weather as you are moving around, but if you just click the complication it updates in about two seconds and then stays on that location.

This is why I’m super impressed by the Hello Weather app. It’s complication has been spot on since a recent update. Even following my current location.

I think that’s a complication for the default weather app actually. Unless you definitely wanted third party.

I tried Hello Weather because of this post and while I know this is the Watch thread, the scrolling in the iOS app really bugged me. It’s like within the main vertical scrolling content you can also scroll sections horizontally, but one doesn’t cancel the other.

Admittedly very OCD, but it might be one of those “once you notice it” things..

I prefer the aesthetics of the sport band but enjoy the comfort of the sport loop. Only issue I've heard about the sport loop is that the velcro isn't strong enough to withstand high pressure from waterfalls.

I ended up ordering a dozens loops/bands for $2 each from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32946486146.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.661c4c4dW9qCEF

I ended up getting 12 sport loops for less than the cost of one of Timb’s. Thanks, Gay Retard!

Perennial crowd favorites from last several pages have been:

- Dark Sky which seems to waffle between terrible and great.
- Carrot Weather - generally consistent, current version is broken on watch but beta is going strong
- Hello Weather - seems super consistent, newest one I’ve heard of

Barely waking up in bed this morning and my watch goes off. “You can still do it,” it says! Just a brisk 30 minute walk.

I’ve been awake for 15 minutes! Leave me alone. This is the sassiest watch I’ve owned.

Ever since I replaced my 3 with a 5, it now no longer does a vo2 max calculation during my runs. Any outdoor run over 20 mins used to trigger a calculation for it, but now, I haven’t gotten a single one since I’ve had my 5. Anyone else notice this? I’ve been running 5x/week too.

Oddly, I experienced the opposite upgrading my 4 to WatchOS 6. It would never calculate on a run, but would do it for walks. Also doing so has seemingly doubled my value which seems unlikely. I just assume it's wrong.

Last night mine was telling me my move and exercise rings are usually further along, and to try and get some exercise today. It was 20 past midnight.

90% of the weather apps on the App Store like Carrot Weather and Hello Weather use Dark Sky for their weather data so if your problem is inaccurate data then double check their providers before you buy.

I feel like the Watch 5 could use some more tweaking in regards to notifications + always on. If it buzzes me, I don’t want to wait a second or two for it to decide to show the alert onscreen after I twist my wrist. I just want it onscreen so I can glance at it.
