I installed the public beta of 10.1 for double tap and it’s such a minor thing but it’s so convenient

Am I going insane? I thought this was already a feature, but it was implemented in some kind of accessibility menu. Like you could do gestures with the hand your watch is on to navigate and tap stuff or something.

yeah but it seemed kind of unreliable (also I couldn't get that annoying popup to go away that'd remind you of gestures every single time) so I disabled it again. I'm curious if the new version works better?

Is the new version coming to older watches like the S6?

New double tap is way better than the accessibility option I tried the accessibility option on my s6 for like 5 minutes and went “this is meh” Double tap was an immediate “ok yeah I like”

I recently bought an Apple Watch Ultra 2 because my wife wanted one I didn’t want to feel left out. What do people generally use these for? So far it seems like it’s a wearable that does some (but not all) of what my phone does and also has some fitness applications. Why do you like your Apple Watch? I also like that it gives me an excuse not to be wearing an actually expensive watch other than “I can’t afford one.”

It's a small thing, but my favorite feature of the Apple Watch is waking up to a haptic tap on the wrist instead of an alarm sound.

Does anyone else have the trail loop? Have you ever had the loop on the end catch on anything? I’m a little worried about that. I feel like I should have bought the alpine loop instead.

I really wish it wasn't velcro.

It's largely an extension of your phone - turn off the iPhone's vibration, severely limit the notifications going to your watch, and enjoy the fact that you don't have to get your phone out of your pocket 90% of the time now. Great for ApplePay on the go. Timers and Alarms (Just say "5 minutes" or "5 pm" and it set them) Shazaming songs Walkie Talkie is fun if you can poke your other Apple Watch friends into using it Fitness stuff obviously

The alpine is so much cooler though, you could see if you find knockoffs on amazon. they may be more stretchy but other than that I haven't had any issues with the knockoff ones. Ultra bands being €100 for basically the same stuff has finally pushed me over the edge of just going hog wild on amazon knockoffs and it's great.

The price of an ultra 2 is a decent chunk towards a nice real watch, if you don’t already understand why you want an ultra 2 its going to be borderline useless. The ultra is definitely not dressy and should never be worn in an excuse to not wear a “fancy watch” (not that you should need an excuse to not wear a watch) Taima fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Oct 26, 2023 |

This post makes me want to try Apple Podcasts so I can use it with my watch. The problem I've had with Shazam on the watch is, for some reason, neither Shazam on the watch or the one on the phone sync so they both have different lists and the one on the watch is only able to hold a couple of song titles before they disappear off into the ether. Why turn off the iPhone's vibration? Do you mean just keep it in silent mode?

How much heavier is the ultra vs the 9 ? Edit: I have a watch 6, and would have at most gotten the 9, but my new gig has me going outside (gasp) so I’ll consider the ultra since I’ll be on the go. Duckman2008 fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Oct 27, 2023 |

I don’t see the point of my phone unnecessarily making vibration noises on surfaces when my watch can just tell me instead. Plus I let some app’s notifications come through on my iPhone’s Lock Screen but not my watch - News notifications, for example, but I don’t actually want them trying to get my attention unless I’m already looking at my iPhone.

It's basically the Submariner of smart watches, but priced lower because everyone knows it is disposable. Everyone knows it is the most expensive Apple Watch that isn't the Hermes and the Hermes is just a Stainless Steel with some watch faces and band and you can put the band on the Ultra and people into luxury brands get really weird about what they will wear and not wear brand wise. As for utility, I find it super useful for important work voicemails/emails and meeting reminders when I am in other meetings (I am in so many meetings), in my experience people have gotten really tolerant about you glancing at your watch in a way they never were about taking out your phone because they understand that it is a glance that you are probably going to dismiss. It's almost like a pager in that way if you remember pagers.

I regularly keep getting this poo poo. After a run, I stay outside slowly dragging my feet for three minutes for the post-workout HR tracking to do its thing. These outliers always happen when I raise my arm looking onto the watch. I always deleted them, but today I actually noticed that they're tagged with the ECG context, unlike the correct ones, which are in the Workout context. Am I accidentally triggering the ECG tracking? Since you can measure heart rate electrically. If so, I wish you could disable that outside the ECG app. --edit: That said, I'm wondering whether I'm causing this myself by opening the Heart Rate app to watch the progress in these three minutes, therefore enabling (possibly erroneous) electrical HR tracking.

Opposite of a critical issue but my watch has not recorded wrist temperature data for several days now. I haven't changed how I use it and all other sleep tracking functionality appears to be working correctly. I want to say this started on the day I installed 10.1 but I can't swear to it. Anyone else encountered this?

Wait, are we talking about outside temperature or body temperature? If we’re talking body temperature, I didn’t even know that was a thing. Can the S7 do it?

That feature came with the S8/AWU. These watches have two thermistors. One on the wrist side and one on the display side, to properly estimate body temperature during sleep. The health app will show differential values relative to some five day baseline. It’ll also feed into the cycle tracking. Internally the values must be absolute, because the HealthFit app shows them as such.

How do I make the watch stop waking me up to tell me I need to stand up at 3:50 in the morning? I thought enabling sleep focus would stop that but it doesn’t seem to! I’m close to giving up on apple’s sleep tracking altogether. So many awful choices.
