I have the modular watch face on my watch with a calendar complication on it. Often it doesn't update even after the meeting, like right now it's stuck on a meeting from 2:30-3:30pm. Anyone have this issue? Anyway to fix it?

Calendar.app? Open the app outright on the watch. Another calendar app that isn't fantastical? Open the app on the iphone, when that doesn't work reboot the watch. Fantastical? Uninstall and reinstall, wait for watch os 3 where this hasn't been an issue for anyone I'm aware of--myself included.

Yup that's done. I've followed all the rules, restarted everything and yet, nothing happens. Every time. And there's no interface through which I can see what's happening so outside of giving up, I don't know what else I can do.

Do you have wifi on on the Mac? It can still be connected via Ethernet, but wifi must be enabled. That's what was tripping me up. USB3 devices can also interfere with the signal.

I can't seem to discover the answer to this. Likely because it hasn't really happened. Since your phone can support multiple watches, do the activity rings sync up between the two?

I have a s0 SS watch and am getting an aluminum s2. I'm considering keeping the SS one for fancier dress and having the aluminum as my daily wearer.

Switch between watches

Only one Apple Watch can be active at a time. To switch, take off your current watch, put on another one, then raise your wrist or move your arm. watchOS doesn't support wearing two watches at once, and it doesn't support sharing watches between multiple users at the same time.
Your watches share Activity and Workout information, so your progress automatically updates after you switch. If you put on a different watch to work out, you can still see all your steps, stand credit, and exercise credit for the day. Depending on how much information needs to sync, it might take a minute for you to see all your progress.

Anyone noticed how the Dark Sky complication constantly predicts: "RAIN STARTING SOON", even when there's none predicted on the iPhone app? I feel like the app has a bit of a hair trigger regarding rain on the watch, when the iPhone app does not.

I get this, and opening carrot weather on the iPhone fixes it, which makes me think that "RAIN STARTING SOON" is the placeholder text when it loses sync.

Is there an app that allows me to set a location on my phone as a destination, then a companion apple watch app just shows which direction that point is in, with distance left to go?

Something like the setup Ripley uses in James Cameron's Aliens to find Newt. This is the kind of thing, only it doesn't appear to have Apple Watch support.

Apple maps? It even vibrates the watch for the next direction/change.

Is there an external HR monitor (chest strap) that works with the built in activity app? Nothing like getting 50 burpees into a workout or 2k into a row and show a heart rate of 60 BPM.

Alternatively, but less preferably, is there one with an app that works well and also uses GPS? I'm hesitant to use a third party app as my experience hasn't been stellar with them. Seems as if they don't keep focus completely they have a tendency to time out or close.

Plus I'm a geek and love sharing my activities with my buddies that keep me accountable for trying to be swole.

Any external HR monitor with bluetooth capabilities has paired to my watch without issue. Any of the ones I have are quite generic amazon trash, so just about any should be fine.

But if you start a workout (with the stock workout app) does the watch use the strap instead of the built in monitor? The ""dropouts" bother me, too.

Yes, it seems that all things that reference the heart rate defer to the strap when it is paired--whether inside or outside of a workout.

How does the Woven Nylon band hold up for exercising?

I have an Apple Watch with Sports Band, but I was gifted an engraved one with a woven Nylon band. Can't seem a point in keeping two watches, obviously.

The nylon band soaks sweat p easy--i do not recommend wearing it during exercise unless you want to wash it afterward, which you can easily do with mild soap.

Yeah, I have the Plus plan, saw the thing about gimped speeds and gently caress that. Yeah, and tethering is awesome, I will use it for sure.

And calls and texts to Canada will save me a few bucks too.

About the Apple Watch, I have two iPhones, one for work and one for personal. Can I use one watch with two phones? I know cellular can only pair with one number, but what about the rest?

Everytime you switch phones you�ll be restoring the watch, which is a time consuming process. It�s doable, but the juice isn�t worth the squeeze.

Is there any reason to think the WiFi/LTE stuff won't be fixed immediately on launch if not soon after with a day zero Watch OS update?

The overreaction to this has been... interesting. It's like people are dying to find a chink in Apple's armor and a weird bug in the review units of the S3 Apple Watch is the perfect opportunity.

You write reviews for a living, and you're complaining that people are reviewing review units.

Is there a way to disable the sound that plays when holding the side button to initiate an emergency SOS? I already have silent mode on for everything else and I feel like if I ever needed this feature, I�d want it to be quiet.

No. Just wait until you accidentally activate it to find out why, nevermind that it calls emergency services so you�ll also hear the voice of the person on the other end when you activate it, negating the silence.

S0 barely lasts a marathon with the workout app. But what in the world would you need LTE for during a marathon anyway? Time to catch up on those important calls?

To listen to music that is offered by Apple Music. This is not a stretch of the imagination by any means.

Save it locally then. Seems bonkers to expect something the size of a watch to give you 3.5+ hours of LTE streaming plus fitness tracking on one charge.

Okay so how about wanting to get notifications without hauling your phone along?
Text messages?
How about wanting to track your run and then make a phone call when you're done to decide where to meet.

Again, no stretch of the imagination.

I'm wearing mine "upside down" on left wrist because the wheel/button makes a lot more sense that way. It's cool you can do this.

The part of the band that doubles-over is meant to be on top, for strength, irrespective of the watch�s alignment itself.

Strange. I don't actually remember if I looked at the packaging. Top just seems more natural.

I imagine that the water rushing around you is strong enough to undo the hook-and-loop, where on the inside of the stroke it�s less susceptible

The stocks app is amazingly lovely. I think I figured out what my issue with it is, I was trying to have a complication show the current price of various cryptocurrencies but outside of NYSE hours it thinks the markets are closed and won't update even though crypto markets run 24/7.

You�re mad that the stocks app doesn�t update buttcoins lol

And it�s supposed to be a bit stretchy so I shouldn�t have to readjust as my arms get back to normal.

In my experience this is untrue, and it is in fact the most constrictive band I own. I like it a lot, it's very easily adjusted, but it's hook and loop so it still requires de- and re-fastening.

Milanese really isn't great, the heap versions are just-as-good-if-not-better at fastening, but those that aren't stainless will have the color wear away in spots like where your wrist hits a laptop.

I just tried the Milanese at the fruit stand and thought it was cool. My last watch had a thin leather strap that was comfortable. What do you guys recommend for business casual hairy arms?

3rd party leather. There are a ton of good options for 3rd party leather depending on your taste.

I see there is way more variety in the straps available from Apple now than last time I looked.

Anyone have an opinion on the Sport Loop or Leather Loop designs?

I like the sport loop for workouts more than any other, but it's incredibly casual looking.
