Updated to 2.0 last night, and now today my watch refuses to see my phone, shows unconnected all of the time. Beyond annoying. Any tips on how to possibly restore the connection?

Is there an alarm app, preferably one that works with nightstand mode, that lets you use music instead of the default alarm sound?

I was having trouble with the connection to my phone too - not complete disconnection, but complications failing to receive data and whatnot. I unpaired and re-paired the phone last night and so far it seems to have taken care of it. Note, it was a long (but simple) process since it's basically the equivalent of wiping and reinstalling everything on the watch.

I'm having major battery issues. I was running the GM, and then got the update notification two nights ago. Fully charged by my bedside at night, took it off the charger around 6:30 AM and got the 10% battery notification around noon. Not sure if having the beta installed at one point is the culprit, but I'll likely have to reset and repair to see if that fixes the issue.

Other than an initial 'hey dark sky doesn't know my location until I uninstall/reinstall' my watchOS2 and 3rd party complication thing has been flawless, along with my battery life too.

May have been mentioned, but darksky requires your phone to have all its boxes ticked in settings. Location, privacy blah blah. Also, just saw on the Twitter that Fantastical is propagating and has a Complication. (Edit) can I be that guy that bitches about Carrot weather? $4, then $2 a year for the complication? Just loving charge the six bucks. I hate IAP. pipebomb fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Sep 24, 2015 |

They (Carrot) also change the complication to the 'premium' wind speed one and you have to jump through a hoop or two to change it back since there is no obvious way to change it back to normal (You have to tap the eye in the phone app, punch in a command string and then reload the app on your watch) I do enjoy using it so far. I also have the app on my Mac at home for the updates you can get from that. Looking forward to Fantastical though

I have a friend who is a big watch nerd that objected to calling them complications because the engineering of real complications was a lot harder. Yeah buddy, a doppler radar's readings are used to automatically predict when it will rain, and that information is then relayed through multiple servers before wirelessly ending up on my watch face to tell me of an impending storm. Nothing complicated about that.

I can't find any info about it other than 9000 people quoting one vague line on Apple's site, but does anyone know if the 42mm model actually ended up having a measurably longer battery life than the 38mm?

I had the 38 first, and now the 42. I can easily go a full 7a-11p day and have at least 50% left.

I've found the 42 to have about another 60-90 min more of battery on average.

noirstronaut posted:i was never an idiot Until you posted that comment. I bought a hand-me-down 38mm (lol idiot alert) and I actually see 42mm as too big on people's wrist? Now that custom watch faces are a thing, it would be nice to have a larger screen to view photos on, but honestly, the watch is a notification machine on your wrist. It's ok if it's a few millimeters smaller.

The battery life is great. I fell asleep with my watch on last night and it didn't need charging until late this afternoon. Pretty close to two days usage for me.

I fell asleep with my watch on last night and it didn't need charging until late this afternoon. Pretty close to two days usage for me. Do you guys, or anyone else getting this kind of battery life, have any features turned off? I asked the original question because I've had a 38mm sport for six days now, and under what I would consider light use I'm not seeing anything close to that -- in fact after 16 hours I'm seeing 10-20% battery life left, which is why I asked about the 42mm version because an extra hour would make for a good buffer (which I can't believe I just typed about a watch, but I digress). What I'm calling light use would be this typical day: Mostly black watch face Wrist twist detection on Heart rate monitor on Logging a 20 minute workout. ~ 20 email notifications ~ 15 app notifications 5 uses of Siri 3-4 timers in the 10-20 minute range (using Siri, but not included in the above 5) 2 uses of Apple Pay Using maybe 15 Glances per day, not counting the swipes between them

My usage is about the same, but I use runkeeper for my exercise and not the built in exercise app. I think the Apple exercise app has the heart rate monitor running 100% of the time when you're using it so maybe that's what's doing it?

Might be New Gadget Syndrome. It's new and you're playing around a lot with it unconsciously. I don't use Glances as much but even when I do, I typically get 40%-50% charge remaining on a 8-10 day with my 38mm. I typically have 30-40 minute workouts, a few timers, iMessage notifications, farting around with watch faces, Siri, answering messages... no features turned off except notifications for most apps. The battery emptied fast the day after the 2.0 update but other than that it was fine. If you like the way 42mm looks on your wrist and can afford it, go for it. It's unlikely the battery life is gonna be worse.

I wear mine from 8AM to 7AM every day. Overnight it tracks sleep. At 7AM when I plug it in it typically has 30-50% battery life depending on whether I exercised that day or not. 42mm model. If your phone is hitting the 10-20% range in just one day, you can try unpairing and repairing it. This seems to help some folks.

So i just got a 38mm black sport as a early/super late christmas gift. (Mom had no idea what to get me, so she just got me one of these.) Seems like a neat piece of tech. Hopefully I wear it, I have other watchs that I don't wear anymore because I'm digging through server racks now and don't want to scratch them up.

Has anyone tried a JeTech loop band from Amazon? I have their link bracelet which is ok. I'm wondering about a black milanese on a space gray. I'm worried it will be too big for me, the Apple one was just about at its minimum size to fit properly. Also curious if their colored leather loops are decent quality, they look identical to the Apple one in pictures.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Do you guys, or anyone else getting this kind of battery life, have any features turned off? When I bother to check the battery at the end of a day, which is almost never its such a non issue, its around 55-60%. Right now its at 57% and I've had it on and used it all day, which is going on ~16 hours at this point and since today is Saturday I probably use it a little bit more than on weekdays. I even enabled the longer life screen duration on tap in watchos2 and its not making a dent but its probably because I frequently cover the watch with my hand to turn off the screen when I finish doing something beyond a wrist raise with it. I have wrist detection turned on, alert notifications mirroring my iphone, prominent haptic, sound muted, 70 second screen duration on tap, heart rate and fitness tracking enabled. I don't log any workouts or use fitness apps because there isn't one for being a dad who has a small energizer bunny for a son. Things I do in order of frequency frequently 1: Multiple times per hour - I use the modular face so I check time, weather (Dark Sky) and calendar constantly since they are all complications on the face. I live and die by my Exchange calendar at work, so seeing what meetings are coming up, in what conference room, call in number, etc 2: 60-200 emails, mainly work related. Being able to glance at the emails I get a work day can help my strategic ignoring process. Being able to quickly glance and file it away as important/not important is handy 3: 15-20 text messages and frequently respond (about 50/50 canned custom text and voice dictation) 4: 4-6 timers (via complication) a day 5: Phone call alerts, I swear to god with the phone in my pocket on vibrate I don't notice 80% of my calls. Occasionally I answer from the watch 6: 1-3 times a day - reference some note I just dropped in OneNote on my PC about some phone number, server address, to-do/shopping list, etc Occasionally I pull up the full app for dark sky, calendar, email/text messages but I mainly just deal with those by responding as they come in. Based on bits I've seen from people complaining about poor battery life, workouts always seems to be a common theme. I'm guessing workout apps near constant use of the heart rate sensor and motion/etc really suck down the battery. The other thing I've noticed is people who use one of the complicated, graphics rich watch faces. Long ago I settled on Modular in all white, which has the least amount of graphics to render, emits the least light and in the most efficient color for OLEDs. I don't think the blue/green of mail/message notifications are up long enough to use a sizable amount of power, but if you were checking your watch frequently and you had the animated, high color Motion face with the butterfly or whatever it probably sucks down a bit more power.
