I finally got one of these today (a Nike SE) and it might've been one of the most fiddly unboxings and headachey first boots (took 3 attempts to get it to pair to my phone) I've ever had of an Apple thing. Feels nice now I've got it on though, and I find the Fitness+ trainers weirdly endearing.

Are there smartwatches that work with old people that aren't very fiddly and can actually help them organise their lives? I'm asking because my mother keeps leaving her phone in odd places, not keeping track of her mesixines and important dates and the like. There would be solid support from her children (me) to help her set it up properly of course.

The Watch does have a thing that will ping your phone and make it chime so you can find it. As far as other organizing stuff, there's always the built in phone apps like Notes and Reminders. Reminders has an app on the watch but you can use Siri to make reminders that would be on both since they'd be synced up. Not sure about Notes on the watch or if you can tell Siri to make a note.

Are the newer watches better at stand detection? Hours not being counted annoys me more than I’d like to admit.

Something weird I've noticed own my SE and I think its a bug. Every so often I'll look at my watch and I'll see for a second the orange microphone icon light up then go away. I don't have any apps installed on my watch and I haven't been able to figure why it does it or when it does it because it just seems random. Has anyone else noticed this?

It'll do that if you've used Siri recently, or maybe if you do the raise to talk thing and it's listening for a Siri command?

Maybe its the raise to talk kicking in because I don't use Siri on my watch like ever. It just seems so random though. Not that is a big deal its just one of those "huh that's weird" things.

It watches for the twisting of the wrist, and then when it detects that, it listens for running water and the squelching of soap.

I think I'm wash my hands wrong, the handwashing thing has never worked for me so I just turned it off. Unrelated: I got a official nylon loop on a whim, sized 2 sizes smaller than the apple-size-test (7 -> 5), and its the coziest most comfy band ever. I don't think I even want to wear a sports loop ever again.  Snuffman fucked around with this message at 03:10 on May 13, 2021 |

Mine does the opposite, I have about 5 hours daily where just moving the wrist on a keyboard or a steering wheel gets counted as standing. Also the hands washing detector seems to be more relying on the MEMS than the microphone on my mk.6, where moving the hands on the soap dispenser will spring it into action and the microphone indicator lighting up afterwards.

I'm just picturing people making a loving mess in the bathroom, getting soap and water everywhere, just so their watch doesn't think they're peeing without washing their hands.

I had bought the GPS SE almost 2 weeks ago and decided at the last second to return it for one with cellular. I found a cellular version for 40 bucks off and with the plum sport loop instead of a sweaty sport band! I am feeling pretty cool right now

Yeah, the orange microphone thing seems to be entirely related to the hand washing detection in my experience. Related, the hand washing detection is trash and congratulated me on successfully washing my hands like 7 times while I mowed the lawn the other day. It has also mistaken me petting my dog and (more understandably) doing the dishes but come on, Apple. Mowing the lawn? Really?

All the watch sees is that it's moving in an unanchored 3D space and has to make sense of it. If the vibrations/motions induced look similar to the pattern it's looking for the handwashing detection, it's gonna assume that. If it's a mower you're pushing/guiding by hand, your wrist is probably going to move around a lot, if there's the slightest uneven terrain.

Nah, I understand how the detection works, I just feel like the watch should know the difference between "water running" and "lawn mower engine" because it sure seems like the trigger is just "loud noise" instead of a specific noise. Given that iPhones can now identify certain sounds passively like babies crying and fire alarms, I feel like this isn't a huge ask.

The rushing of water probably looks more like noise, making it harder to discern, whereas some baby crying leaves a decent spectral fingerprint. Things aren't always as easy as one expects at first glance.

I've been doing a lot of work around the house lately and the handwashing thing keeps popping up whenever I use a screwdriver, even with no noise. It just asks if I'm washing my hands or not and I have to constantly tell it no.

Just turn it off. It is the stupidest feature in the universe. Seriously who needs a watch to tell them they are washing their hands properly? Turn it off and wash your hands normally.

Most of the time it would never even detect me washing my hands. I turned it off and it’s a feature I definitely do not miss. Just annoying.

That was the one unified opinion when I was reading SE reviews, that the hand washing detection just didn't work.

Whenever a new hour begins and I’m moving, I get the credit for a stand hour within maybe 30 seconds. Obviously this is shorter than a minute. It doesn’t seem to happen any other time after the hour changes over. Anyone else encounter this?

Is the hand wash detection something you have to opt into? Because I feel like my watch has never said a drat thing about hand washing.

It looks like after the last WatchOS update (which required an unpair/repair because I've got a 3) I'm not getting cardio health/VO2max data anymore.

I have an Apple Watch Series 5 and the hand washing thing has never ever popped up except for one time I was wrapping a metal chain around a gate. 🤷🏻♂️

Looks like Apple is adding more assistive technologies to the Apple Watch. You can use it one-handed! https://twitter.com/Andi_Rohn/status/1395072287460630528?s=20
