I've developed this weird reflex whenever I get close to some furniture or a doorway or anything where I turn my wrist inward and put my hand near my belly just to avoid banging my watch on whatever I'm walking past.

Housh posted:Question: can I pair two watches to my phone? Once I get this one repaired, I think I'm gonna wear my S2 to the gym from now on. Really disappointed this happened. Thought it would be at least the same strength as my old watch. Pretty sure you can. When I got my S5, the S3 was still listed in the Watch app until I manually removed it.

Are there any weather complications that actually update? I’ve been reading and it seems that the two main ones like carrot and dark sky have their problems, right now I’m using three stock weather complications and they work well but I wouldn’t mind trying to reduce a couple

They both charge a yearly fee. With watchOS 6, there was a short period that Carrot had a problem but it’s been working fine for a couple months now for me. Dark Sky seems to work or fail randomly. Hello Weather is cheaper per year. I prefer Carrot but both work fine.

It's kinda cool rocking my S2 again. I haven't used it with the latest update. Works better than I remembered (could simply be pairing it again) but boy does that screen look small and dated. For sure using this watch at the gym instead of my S5 so I don't break poo poo on the good one.

Apple immediately sent it back to me, said there was nothing wrong with it, and stated that their diagnostics may have magically fixed my battery issue somehow. It was a colossal waste of time.

How do people feel about not setting a passcode on their watch? Too risky or not a big deal?

I have the passcode cause I like to use my watch to unlock my computer. I rarely have to put the passcode in cause I put on the watch and then unlock my phone with Touch ID which unlocks the watch. It’s magic.

Yeah I would totally disable the passcode if it wasn't required for macbook unlock.

Set the passcode, then configure phone to unlock watch when phone is unlocked. You'll end up pecking in the passcode about once a year.

Aren’t you forced to set a passcode if you use your watch for Apple Pay?

I think so but it only locks itself when you take it off so that won't be a situation you actually run into.

You'd have to be insane not to put a password on a device that contains things like your email, texts, contacts, and other sensitive data.

Noticed a big scratch on my series 4 screen today. It seems to be just in the finger print coating. Is there anything I could do about it?

What's the problem with entering a passcode anyway? It takes like one second. I don't use my phone to unlock most of the time since it usually takes longer to grab my phone than it does to type in the passcode.

As everyone has said: it's something you do once a day *at most*, takes virtually no time at all, and improves security and enables certain functions. There's virtually no good reason not to have it.

You literally never have to type it in if you set the "unlock my watch when my phone unlocks" option. Maybe on a reboot?

Not to discount any of the reasons people lock their watch, but mine is always on my wrist save for when I charge it at home. I'm not on particularly concerned about my wife or son getting to it. Hell I didn't even know you could lock it.

However, take your watch off when you’re changing bed sheets.

I've noticed that if you have the "enter passcode" screen up on your watch, it probably won't work. If it's not the active screen on your watch, the phone unlock works 100% of the time. Sometimes it takes 5-10 seconds, however.

I thought of a very valid reason to passcode your Apple Watch -- in the event you get mugged for both your phone and your watch, the mugger now has unfettered access to your Apple Pay credentials via the watch. This comes with some caveats, though: - that WatchOS does not restrict Apple Pay usage on Apple Watches that don't have a passcode set - the mugger is also a huge nerd that knows how to use Apple Pay on an Apple Watch - you haven't already cancelled any applicable credit cards because your wallet was probably stolen as well

I’m surprised it isn’t obvious that locking your devices is a good idea. It’s not like anyone plans to get robbed etc.

I live in Japan. Would probably get the watch back too if I was careless enough to leave it lying around. No passcode is probably a bad idea in some places, but not everywhere.

Ditto. You could leave your iPhone unlock on the subway and get it back the next day. Let alone your watch. There's no smash-and-grab poo poo here.
