I never had that issue with my OG sports band even after two years of wearing it.

Honestly it kinda is and it doesn’t seem like they really want to invest that much into it. It works ok at best but I still have no clue why we can’t activate beacon mode from the watch directly. I really regret giving them money for premium.

Sexual Aluminum posted:Does the apple watch need a screen protector? I'm paranoid the screen is going to scratch. I had a first gen for nearly 2 years and only had minor scratches on it. That’s with working out 4 days a week and having a job that was mainly out doors. So no it does not need one.

Why does the camera app on the watch suck so much rear end? Like 50% of the time the thing doesn’t even load right. Also why can’t we use it to start a video recording?

Astoundingly Ugly Baby posted:My Series 0 Sport has finally reached the point where the battery won't last a whole day. Thought about setting up a battery replacement through Apple. Does anybody know if I have the option to mail it to them or do I have to make a trek to an Apple Store to get it done? You have to go to the store but be warned my watch was doing the same thing and it came back as still in spec and they wouldn’t replace the battery. I just ended up replacing it with a 3 and I’m happier overall.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Can you turn your TV on/off with HDMI-CEC via Siri on your phone? I know when you sleep the TV you can have it turn off all connected devices which is nice If you have an Apple TV connected via HomeKit you should be able to tell Siri to turn it on.

Snowmankilla posted:My wife surprised me with a late Valentine’s Day present of a space gray series 3! I picked up some fun bands and read through the thread, but sill had a question. Does anyone suggest a nice but not expensive extra charger? I would love to have a second one for travel, but do not know what to look for. Just get the official Apple one. I don’t even know if there are knock offs yet but IMO just get the Apple one.

Tambreet posted:Does anyone know how the watch send SMS message? I've had a couple replies fail recently. In the first case, I was away from my phone, although both the watch and phone were on the same WiFi network. I figured the lack of direct connection was the issue though. Then today it failed again, even though both devices were next to each other and my network connection was fine. More annoyingly, it takes like a minute or two to fail out. Yeah I’ve been having mine fail for no reason lately. Maybe it’s a bug with the current OS I dunno.

OGB posted:My battery hasn't been lasting anywhere near as long as it used to (Series 1, about a year and change old). Literally died on me today at 4pm, after taking it off the charger at like 7:30 or so. Yeah maybe try a restore as well. Also you could see if there is an app doing it just uninstall everything and go from there.

Pants Donkey posted:How bad are third party silicon sports bands off Amazon? I kinda want some alternate colors to mix things up every now and then, but I wonder how a $10-15 band will differ from Apple's. I bought a few and the quality kinda varies. 2 of them started cracking after about a month but besides that the others were ok.

I got a knock off velcro one and it’s ok I guess. It feels nice but I’m just not sure how it’s gonna hold up over time. I mean it was only $7 but still.

tonic posted:What’s the best run tracking app that I can use on the watch sans phone ? Something that tells me if GPS is connected , tracks GPS and heart rate, etc. I’ve been using he Nike app but honestly it’s not great compared to the Garmin system I’ve used with my Forerunner in the past. Strava

cowofwar posted:I got the watch for monitoring my blood sugar via cgms complication but I’m actually enjoying it for everything else. Nice to not take out your phone to check on whatever notification you received. I seem to notice the watch vibration a lot more than my phone as well. I haven’t noticed it be any worse vs say using the built in workout app. If you have a series 3 even doing a multi hour run the battery will still last all day and then some.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Yeah, that's streaming music for sure. I'm sure if you put music on the watch, it'd make a massive difference. I just haven't bothered to do that because I like having my whole library available, and I don't run marathon distances anymore. I just get annoyed when I go for a lunch run and my watch goes down 40%. The battery is probably my biggest complaint, especially when my old Garmin can go like 3 weeks without charging. Yeah, I know the AW is doing a ton more stuff, but still, I really wish the battery life was way better. I mean I get what you are saying it’s just not realistic and probably won’t be for years. Especially with the way battery technology is. I mean the cell radios will definitely get more efficient same with everything else but the battery in the watch is pretty drat small so it’s probably going to be years before we get multiple days out of an LTE watch. My remark on battery life definitely was not counting on using LTE for a whole run.

Has anyone else had the issue where they take the watch off the dock after being on all night and its only at 93%? This has happened a few times and it seems to correct itself the next day but I'm curious if its some weird battery issue.

tonic posted:How often (or when?) does the move goal update in the activity app? I’ve gone over it for the past 9 days and I was expecting it to change to make the goal more difficult. Well it depends. If you beat it every day for 7 days (Monday - Sunday) on Monday morning it will ask you if you want to up it. If you don’t beat it on Monday morning it will suggest that you keep it the same. It can be easy to miss the alert but it’s always Monday morning with in the first hour of putting the watch on. It gives you a weekly summary.

tonic posted:Any tips for saving battery life on the s3 lte? A ~1hr workout using GPS today drained more than 40% of my battery for some reason. My watch is <2 weeks old. Ok if you had your phone with you it definitely should not be doing that. With my S3 I can run for a long rear end time and it doesn’t drop below 70%.

nervana posted:I was actually just looking at that. I originally thought of a dock that made the watch "hover" in a stand, but now I am thinking something like what you posted is a better idea? I like the hover stand better personally since you can just pop it down. I mean either one works and they are both like under 10.

Nerdrock posted:The last few days, my s3 LTE hasn't charged to full overnight. The first couple nights it only charged to 97, so I rebooted it, and it charged to 98 last night. It's always charged to 100 before this. Anyone else notice this not necessarily gamebreaking but slightly off-putting issue? Yeah I mentioned it earlier in the thread but no one said anything  It seems to fix it self in a few days though so I dunno what it would be.

And I opened message on my mac and in that account's preference, I turned on messages in the cloud and told it to sync. Hmmm I’ll have to check it out. Probably still have to go back and delete all these old messages off the watch though which is a huge pain in the rear end.
