It's never happened to me, but admittedly my "walks" are more like jogs (3 miles, pace around 15-16 minutes per mile with no stops or breaks, heart rate between 110-125). I guess it makes sense that they don't want people cheesing it but I wonder where the threshold is where it won't "count."

Bizarro Kanyon posted:Onto watch chat: with everyone talking about AOD, I decided to go all day with it. I never use AOD and my watch reminds me to charge at 9pm every night. Most nights and with normal use, it is at 55-60% left. Tonight, with AOD and normal use, I am at 35%. It’s kinda like RAM. There’s no point in having 1000 GB of RAM in your system if you’re constantly alt-f4ing everything to keep your RAM usage down to 8 GB max. Similarly if you’re charging your watch every night then what difference does it make if the battery is at 60% vs 35% when you put it on the puck?

After 3 years I was still getting a day and a half of battery life from my series 3. Ironically battery life on my series 3 was similar to my series 6 with the AOD enabled. I was probably on the verge of the old battery making GBS threads itself though.

Krispy Wafer posted:Does anyone know how the Apple Watch calculates 'exercise'? Up until this week if I walked outside for 30 minutes, I got 30 minutes of exercise credit and closed my ring. Now I get 3 minutes. I reset the calibration today and no difference. I’m having the opposite problem. I’m getting credit for close to 30 minutes of exercise lately on days where I’m doing almost nothing. Where is this “calibration reset” you referenced? I poked around a little on the Watch and couldn’t find it.

Combat Pretzel posted:Amount of total charge cycles before it goes to poo poo. How important that is depends on how long you intend to own it. If it's charged every night, it's going to have the same amount of full charge cycles no matter how much power is left, and fully charging the battery from 35% is better for battery health than regularly topping it off from 60%.

This is a bit silly. Practically the big difference between 35% or 60% at the end of a normal day is that the watch is dead on an abnormal day in the first case and fine in the second case. That’s worth something.

kitten smoothie posted:I went from an S3 to S5 this spring for the AOD and wanting to switch to a cellular model, love it and don't have any regrets for not waiting it out for the S6. Ended up buying an open box 44mm Series 5 from Best Buy today for $250 and it already had AppleCare until 2022 on it for some reason. I’m not sure if that counts as being “officially” transferred but I usually don’t buy AppleCare so I’ll take it.

It's tied to the serial number. Not sure what happens if the owner requests a refund for AppleCare through Apple, people don't realize that's an option

How do you set the default time when starting an exercise activity? For example whenever I press the yellow clock to start a Strength timed workout, it will always default to 28mins (even though my last workouts have been 1hr and 30mins). I had to manually select those times after it did the usual defaulting to 28 mins. Any ideas?

It should have your last time when you go to select it, no such thing as default. At least that’s the way it works with distances. Just checked and yeah, it’s got the actual distance/time/calories etc. I ran on my last workout, ignoring what I actually selected. So that’s weird it goes to 28 as a default for you.

smackfu posted:Has anyone gone from the AOD back to one that didn’t have it? Just curious. I haven’t gone back, but I would have was I able to return my 6. I like it, but not worth a premium of a S6. If I were buying today I’d rank them from a price/value perspective: S5 on current sale (300-329 new) > SE > S6 S6 is certainly the best, but the benefits are so marginal. Pulse Ox is useless.

Man I really f my self for the January challenge,I have to work out 60 min a day to complete it. I accidentally left on a yoga workout last month and went to sleep without turning it off. I deleted the workout and data but it still shows I did 720 minutes of exercise in a single day. Must have influenced my individual Jan challenge. Oh well.

Is there a way to tell my watch not to hijack my AirPods to play an alarm ding, disconnecting it from my phone until I go into Bluetooth settings and manually reconnect? Like it’s cool watch, we have haptics and they’re in transparent mode anyway.

The only monthly challenges I reliably manage these days after a couple years of watch ownership are the close your rings ones.

So I feel really dumb asking this but I basically always have my phone on do not disturb but to allow my favourites to ring through. I use my phone for work a little bit and I don’t mind calls just bumping through to voicemail and also I don’t like my phone buzzing away on my desk when I’m with a client. Now I’ve got an Apple Watch. Ideally what I would love to do it have some non noise related notification (aka it buzzes my wrist or whatever the watch does) for things like messages, whatsapp, messenger, etc pop up on my Apple Watch and my phone to sit nice and still and quiet. What do I need to do in order to make that happen? I feel if I do do not disturb it’s not pushing anything to the watch but I’ve literally only had it for a few hours so I might just be missing something.

Typically it should just buzz your wrist anyway, no sound, and ignore the phone completely. DND is turning that off. If it’s making sounds check the settings, maybe mute it or something.

If you set DND on the phone it pretty much stops sending things to the watch except calls from your favorite contacts. You won’t get any notifications or anything.

Turn off do not disturb , put your phone on silent, and just let watch notifications be like normal. It’s weird, but the Apple Watch has killed my ringtone on my personal phone. No need. Side note: I had a S3 38mm for 2+ years and finally updated the S6 44mm (I just decided to go for top of the line). Holy hell is it a huge jump. Just the responsiveness alone is great, and yeah, bigger screen is just useful. And I didn’t mind the wrist flick to check the time, but I like the always on display.

How do I get the apple news stories in the Siri watch face to update? Right now it’s still telling me the biggest news is Wornock is projected to win his senate race. I’m pretty sure much more stuff has happened since Tuesday evening when he was projected to win.

I've been trying to find stuff about the Capitol mess to listen to and Apple News' audio hasn't been updated since last week. I think that service is still in beta, but come the gently caress on.

I got a S6 for Christmas and it’s been super motivating in ways my old Fitbit wasn’t. The only thing I’m disappointed in is the sleep tracking - Fitbit had way more detail (I especially miss seeing my sleep stages). Is there a better watch app I could get that syncs with Health?

I have Series 1 with no band that has been sitting on my desk ever since I got my Series 5. It's slow as poo poo, has little wear and is missing one of the magnetic band release buttons, but I have absolutely nothing to do with it. Would anyone want it? I'd wouldn't mind getting like $5 to help cover putting it in a bubble envelope and hoping it doesn't get crushed in processing.

There are a ton of sleep tracking apps. Just download them and try it out. They don’t actually gather any data, they just use what watchOS gathers and makes available. One app might use one algorithm to figure something out while another uses a different algorithm. They’re all just front ends, kinda. Some apps have additional features like wake alarms and so on. So download whichever ones you want and try them out.

I use Pillow because it came recommended, but it just doesn't seem to do a great job of tracking when my entire sleep starts/ends. I'm going to play more with it, because I do like that aspect of owning the watch. But today my favorite aspect? For mooooonths its annoyed me that I get a ton of messages on phone, either from work or friends, and I'm usually listening to music with my phone on the desk. The 'ting' of a text message lasts about 3-4 seconds and maybe I'll get 5 texts in a minute sometimes? Yeah that's a minute my song is constantly fading in/out to 'ting' me. The little wrist nudge while I have my phone on silent and not interrupting my music is such a simple but sanity saving thing.

For some reason my Series 5 intermittently displays this black bar across the watch face when the screen flips to "always-on display" mode: When I wake up the screen, though, the bar disappears:  As I mentioned the black bar isn't always visible when the screen sleeps. I can't think of a pattern of activity that consistently recreates this, and further complicating things is the fact that, just now, after a hard restart the black bar is no longer visible:  Should I seek to replace this under Apple Care? This is the second time the bar has appeared and disappeared so I'm thinking it might be time to replace it...

Yeah if you’re still under Apple care and there’s no visible damage chances are good they’ll just replace it. (They might tell you to restore from factory settings first but who knows)
