I’m just hoping it’ll let me modify the complications. Dunno why it wouldn’t…. Love the Black Sabbath energy in this face. Wish I could get this on my non-Nike 😭 The swoosh replaced with the date would make this drat near perfect.

On my Nike Series 3 the swoosh was on all of the Nike faces was an unchangeable complication that linked to their watch app. I'm assuming it's the same on this face. I'll know on Tues when my 7 arrives.

Assuming everyone else got the alert today, but there's a new Unity Lights watch face for Series 4+ with "2D Ray Tracing" which sounds like something they just made up. Coincidentally there's a new $99 solo loop band for it. https://www.macrumors.com/2022/01/26/apple-launches-black-unity-braided-solo-loop/ After 7 years Apple has proven they can make some pretty faces, maybe someday we can get more useful faces too.

Cool they invented shadow casting, a technique that games have been using for 30 years. It does look really cool though so I'll give them that. Too bad the disaster that is their complications means I can only use the modular face.

The braided band looks like the old “black” sports loop, neat. Always liked that one a lot.

Is raise to speak any better on the newer Watches? I have an SE, which isn’t that old, but I have very limited success unless I super exaggerate my raise movement.

I’d say on my 7 it almost always works. Actually it does a lot of turning on when I’m just checking something on my watch while actively talking to someone else, so it’s sort of a little too good at responding.

I am interested in an Apple Watch as a fitness tracker thingy as I am getting older and fatter. I don't want to pay a $10/month subscription for Fitness+. Does this nerf a lot of the fitness tracking abilities? Reading the OP it sort of seems like you have to pay if you want to track your exercises, etc. Endless Mike posted:APPLE FITNESS+

No, the tracking does not require a subscription at all. Fitness+ is just a Peloton competitor, you get access to videos of over the top happy fitness instructors encouraging you to work harder.

I think that is just some kind of video/robot coaching service, you don't need to pay anything to just track stuff.

Fitness+ is just a service with workout videos. You need an Apple Watch to use it, but don't need it to use an Apple Watch for fitness tracking.

Yes, Fitness+ is just video and audio guided workouts. If you don't sub to it you can still use all the other parts of the Fitness app like activity goals and custom workout tracking. Though you do get a 3-month trial of it with a watch so you can at least try it.

I use my Apple Watch as a fitness tracker and my indoor fitness activity is Supernatural VR. My watch helps provide my heart rate to the set up. It works pretty well. The only issue I have had is that as soon as I turn on the Supernatural app to track my heart rate, it counts everything as exercise. One time I started the tracking but my daughter needed help with her homework. 45 mins later, I come back to work out and I have 45 minutes of exercise done.

Any good deals on Stainless Steel 7's right now? Apple is offering extra trade-in credit for watches this month and I figure I should jump on that and unload my 4 before it loses more value. However, if I can get a better price without requiring a trade-in that would be sweet.

Reading the OP it sort of seems like you have to pay if you want to track your exercises, etc. I bought an apple watch initially just to track my steps, knowing next to nothing about it, and was amazed that it effectively tracks calories burned and so on. I also received 3 months of fitness+ for free and thought it was not worth it without trying it, however I now use it daily for yoga workouts (as I am hopeless at making my own yoga routine) and am a paid subscriber.

I would have had to upgrade to a titanium watch for that and I didn't want to spend thaaat much. All in all, not a bad deal. Got a new 7 for $320 after trade-in.

Definitely disappointed it's not around this generation. I take pretty good care of my stuff, and I have AC so if something happens to this I can always get it replaced. I also figure that if the trade-in value is similar to my 4, upgrading every few years for around $300 is fine.

I splashed out for a SE watch and I'm enjoying it so far. The different clock faces are charming. The heart rate monitor was the main thing, other than "a desire for a novel toy," that I was looking for. I think it is neat, although it is kind of worrying to see when it spikes up, lol. I'm guessing things like transient spikes when I get up are just a factor of it sampling a particular 10-15 seconds and extrapolating, right?

I’m definitely going to have to replace my watch before “post” COVID international travel is a thing again. I find I need to put my S4 on the charger by 4 or 5pm if I’ve done any serious activity during the day. Right now, while I’m perma-bound to my home it’s not really a big deal but I’ll definitely be paying attention to upcoming models. I’m honestly not sure what, if anything, they’d plan to add to a new watch which would make me wait. The use case for my watch is basically 1a. ApplePay 1b. Tell time 2. Show temperature/weather 3. Control my iPhone media so I don’t have to take the phone out of my pocket 4. Track fitness all things which it currently does really well right now. My biggest gripe around the watch/phone integration is that it’s never really seamless controlling media from the watch. For music I find that it’s pretty hit/miss if I press pause or stop. There’s a maddening gray area around media on your watch vs media on the phone visible on your watch that is a mental holdover for me back when I think the watch was ONLY used to control your phone at launch. I just can’t seem to get over that. For things like overcast, the pause/play podcast functionality NEVER seems to work until I initiate the podcast on my phone first. Presumably because it’s locked in my pocket, but I would have hoped that there was some phone/watch synergy to tell the phone “hey the watch is on and synced, maybe respect the play button” instead of just spinning forever until I get annoyed and fish the phone out of my pocket. But I mean, overall my experience with the watch has been overwhelmingly positive. For all the complaints I have I’d still be pretty naked without one. When Apple killed touch-id on the iphone my watch became my primary payment source — I loathe faceid payment authentication, and watch ‘unlock’ synergy does nothing for me. I still need to punch in my clumsy passcode in public if I want to pull out the phone and pay vs using my watch. I think I kind of went on a tangent but yeah, I should probably upgrade soon. At this point I’m still kind of based out of home so no real rush to snap up an upgrade right now but I’ll wait to see what the new 22 models bring and this is PROBABLY the year my S4 gets traded in.

I just tried and I can't replicate your Overcast issue at all. I connected my AirPods to my phone, killed the Overwatch app on my phone, locked my phone, launched Overcast on my watch, started a podcast and it started playing on my phone. edit: And for troubleshooting purposes, I'm on a brand spanking new iPhone Pro 13 and Series 7 watch. Both running most recent OS builds. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Feb 13, 2022 |

I get the same issue with Overcast sometimes on my S3. Controls not doing anything, or displaying the last podcast played instead of the current one, or the spinny dots beachball until I interact with my phone directly. Probably less than 1 in 20 times, though.

That used to happen to me constantly when I was using a Series... 5, I think and an iPhone XS. Since I recently went hog wild and got a 13 Pro and a Series 7, things stay way more in sync. I don't know if it's more to do with the watch or the phone upgrade.

Thanks for checking. I think there’s probably some nuance to when it happens that I can’t articulate easily. An example would be something like, I drive to the store with a podcast playing. When I turn off the car my phone pauses the podcast because bluetooth with the radio was broken. I’ll do my shopping with my phone in my pocket, 20 minutes later hop in my car and “oh yeah I should turn the podcast back on but my phone is in my pocket” before I drive off, reach for my watch and pressing play will just result in an endless spin until I get annoyed enough to reach into my pocket to unlock and press play, at which point the watch seems to show the right information again. If these kinds of things worked themselves out in later revisions of hardware I’m happy to wait. I’m on an S4 and XS so I’m a fair amount of revisions back at this point.

Music still does some weird poo poo with stuff on the watch vs. on the phone, though… like the Now Playing will come up if I start music on my phone, but on my watch it’s showing the last song I played on the watch itself… So yeah, I feel you. There are a decent number of paper cuts for making it all a seamless experience. It’s definitely not all solved on the S7, but IME it’s better.

I had enough problems with overcast on the watch that I just took it off my watch and let the default media controls handle things. That was a few versions ago but I haven’t missed it.
