Dissenting opinion but for some reason the Nike Sports band got insanely uncomfortable and sticky compared to the bog standard silicon band. Maybe it was a defect or something but I dunno. 420 buy Milanese knockoff loops and laugh at the genuine buyers everyday buglord fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Nov 9, 2017 |

How does the Apple Watch nightstand mode know how to pick up taps? I just tap the corner of my bed and the watch on the nightstand knows I did something. Is it some super fine movement detector or mic listening for a thump? It’s really cool.

Is there a way to mass delete messages off the Apple Watch? The Messages app is super sluggish and im not sure if its because I have so many messages on it. This is a Series 2 if it matters. I wish the watch in general wasn't so sluggish.

RoboCop 3 posted:I'm really surprised at how much more I use Siri now that it's on my wrist. For whatever reason, I just never bothered when it was on my phone, but when it's right there on my watch, I use it all the time for all kinds of little things. Being able to set reminders and timers without getting out my phone is really useful. It's obviously in need of improvement. (You're telling me I can't create a simple note without my phone?) But it's still really helpful as-is. I'm having the exact opposite experience. Siri begins listening, then right as I speak my first word, I get the three haptic bumps and she cuts me off with "sorry, can you say that again?". I have to repeatedly do this until it lets me finish an entire statement. Does anyone know whats up with it?

My S2 is getting progressively slower and less functional. How in the world do I fix this aside from getting a new watch? Takes a silly amount of time to do anything.

eddiewalker posted:Did all that hoop-jumping, got my replacement watch running on my most recent backup up. Yeah my S2 watch feels like a S3 after I wiped and restored. I've only had this watch for one WatchOS cycle, and I figured that Apple devices don't need to be nuke-and-paved anyway, but I was totally wrong. Its a pain that I have to actually janitor my watch more than my phone now, but hey at least its actually performing tasks in a reasonable time again.

S2 owners, how often do you have to unsync/resync to keep watch performance up? I feel like I’m doing this twice a month now.

Is it weird to want a thinner watch? Maybe the 42mm is too big on my bird wrists but id love if these things had a slight contour like the Pebble classic. For all the things I like about the apple watch, it just feels like a little metal brick on my arm and I'm never not aware of it being there. e: Also ive never worn a real watch before. maybe I should use a G-Shock for a little white and then go back?

xzzy posted:The way it bulges the sensor cluster so it can press into your wrist makes it look like it's always hovering uncomfortably over your arm. It doesn't contour to the human body at all. Yeah that explains my gripe perfectly. Maybe it's a heart rate thing because my old fitbit HR thing felt just as unnatural because the sensors were bulged out.

Pants Donkey posted:Isn't battery another limiting factor to thickness? I like my battery life as it is (my watch can tolerate me forgetting to charge it a few nights) so I would begrudgingly prefer the thickness should it come to that. I do wish it contoured to the wrist instead of simultaneously floating onto and digging into my wrist.

I still feel like I made out like a bandit buying a $10 Milan ese loop. I've gone through two, admittedly, but $20 is still a lot less than official pricing.

On the other hand I've scratched my S2 to hell during office jobs. I underestimated how much I scrape my wrist against walls and doors and corners. To the poster with a wife, did she shatter the screen both times while wearing it? Thats what terrifies me the most.

while the sellers are sorta ephemeral, it seems like whoever is supplying them stays the same because all the loop replacements I've had have been largely identical. Thinking of going from a S2 42mm to a S4 40mm. I have small wrists so it seems like going smaller while still getting a bigger screen seems logical. My only hangup is battery life. Because i'm getting the smaller of the two S4s, does that mean i'm going to get worse battery life than my S2? My current experience with the S2 battery is fine. It tolerates me forgetting to charge it overnight and maybe takes 2 days before giving up the ghost. I'd rather keep that as a baseline when upgrading.

That sounds about in line with my S2 overnight when its on my wrist. General usage, no sleep tracking apps or anything.

Trying out the S8 for a few weeks but I got a question: is there a way to get “total calories burned (resting and active)” displayed on a complication, through Health/Activites or a a third party app? There’s so many health apps but so many of them also have subscriptions which I’m tired of.

Shame about that. Also I tried out apple fitness+ using my iPad as the screen and my first HIIT session today. Having all your data displayed as an overlay while the routine is going feels incredibly cool. The three trainers doing various levels of intensity for the same exercise is a great touch too. Let’s see how long I can stick with this.

Wellll since we’re on the subject of batteries again… Does the background app refresh toggle do anything significant, battery wise? It seems like whatever is on the watch face (in my case, weather, now playing+, activity, messages) will be refreshed regardless. But for all the other apps, does it change how fast they option or how they function? And if the setting is disabled, is there any appreciable difference to battery life on my S8? And what about Always On Display? Reddit says (Reddit says a lot of things) that setting doesn’t actually amount to much in terms of consumption, but I dunno.

Okay I have a question i cant seem to figure out: Is there a way to have my Apple Watch do sleep tracking but NOT use its built in haptics/alarm to wake me up each morning? Problem is that I have my watch haptics disabled (since I cant seem to eliminate vibrations for notifications). And because my haptics are disabled, the wakeup alarm won’t vibrate on my wrist. To remedy this for now, I’ve set multiple non-wake-up alarms a minute before/after my wake-up alarm, since my phone will still fire those off at full volume.

I would have considered an ultra if I didn’t have little bird twig wrists. I would have found a way to justify it even if my most action packed activity is indoor HIIT.

Are showers…bad for your hearing? Whenever my watch comes with me it complains about detected noise levels of +100dba. I figure it’s a fluke it’s just funny that it gets triggered 100% of the time each time it goes in there with me.

I’m interested in it for the same reason as one of the Accidental Tech Podcast hosts said. It likely won’t be accurate to begin with but you can at least use it to maybe see when you’re far above/below your average, and that might be useful for some people who aren’t diabetic?

The Grumbles posted:I’ve been doing the fitness+ stuff since getting my watch and although the tech is cool and they’re good workouts, most of the instructors are just obnoxious and awful. Hah. I enjoyed a lot of the instructors but as an urban Californian I guess I’m completely numb/unaware of the culture at this point. I do enjoy the “showing up is what counts” attitude because I think the overall goal is to get people to exercise in any fashion, as long as they do so consistently, since the alternative is being sedentary. It’s why I’m trying to get my mom to sign up. She’s one of those people who could benefit from exercise as she’s getting older and is self conscious about keeping up with the fitness class and is allergic to meathead “one more rep” types. That all said, yeah California culture is a trip and about as shallow and contradictory as the celebrities. I don’t blame anyone for taking a whiff of it and gagging.
