I’m thinking about picking up a series 4 when they go on sale after Christmas. Would I be missing out on much between 4 and 5? Does anyone here regularly swim/surf with theirs? Really keen to track exercise stats when I surf but am a little worried about damaging or loosing it.

Hmm I just ordered some screen protectors (just film type ones I think). I can’t see a downside to that? I’m mainly thinking of when I go surfing I don’t want any sand getting stuck between my wetsuit and the watch face.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:I shower daily with my watch on. No issues with my 3 over 2 years, nor with my 5. Why would you do this? I mean, water-resistance issues aside (great to hear it has been OK), you would have to take it off to dry your wrist and watch anyway?

I’m surprised it isn’t obvious that locking your devices is a good idea. It’s not like anyone plans to get robbed etc.

I have some questions: I guess Apple lightened up on allowing third party alarm apps at some point? Do these work if you don’t wear your watch to bed? If so, are they still worth it? I still miss my gradual alarm and ability to tweak the snooze timer from Android days.

Wow. Pretty over the top reaction to a simple question. Henrik Zetterberg posted:Screen protector recommendations, or are they all the same? I got a pack of 6 of these: I have the IQ shield one and it’s OK. Looks good and feels fine. Only downside is that it doesn’t fit the entire watch and you’ll probably have to change it out every few months as they kind of wear out.

I kind of wish you could tweak it though so it reminds you to stand every 30 minutes but then you still get the credit each hour or something.

Although looking at that article it mentions you should do that if you have two or more of the listed issues. I only have the GPS one... oh wait, Health was sucking down battery the last few days on my iPhone so I guess that counts as two.

Does anyone know how to stop zombie meeting change notifications? I have my work Exchange account linked to my iPhone calendar to give me notifications on my watch. A couple of meetings have had the details change and I’ve accepted those but they keep notifying me at least once a day. I’ve had it happen before but I can’t remember how I fixed it. I’ve tried to the reset button but that didn’t seem to work.

Violator posted:I had missing map workout data when I updated to iOS14 I think it was. I followed Apple’s instructions for wiping the watch and phone and that fixed it. I assumed I was just missing map data for the week or so between the update and fixing it and that data was lost because it recorded it wrong. But I now realize I’m missing all map data from all of my workouts ever. LOL like five years of map data is just gone. I guess it doesn’t really matter because I rarely looked at it but drat I hate losing data. This was exactly my experience and I assumed the same. But checking, yeah all maps workout data is gone back to December last year when I got the watch... Thankfully third party stuff (which I care about more) seems OK.

priznat posted:Did the handwashing detection get worse lately? It was always pretty jank but now it only seems to kick in 3/4 of the way in and then scolds me for not doing an additional 20 seconds. If it registers at all that is. Possibly? It is pretty annoying when it gives you this rant about washing your hands for 20 seconds when it hasn’t detected properly.

Krispy Wafer posted:Does anyone know how the Apple Watch calculates 'exercise'? Up until this week if I walked outside for 30 minutes, I got 30 minutes of exercise credit and closed my ring. Now I get 3 minutes. I reset the calibration today and no difference. For Exercise minutes to count they need to be close to your Walking Heart Rate Average I believe. Probably at least 75% of as you say. That’s why you need to calibrate the watch by doing a 20 minute walk. I find if I walk with my partner I only get 50-75% of the minutes compared to walking by myself as we walk slower so my HR doesn’t get up enough. Stand hours are named badly. It’s actually more like Move minutes in that you need to stand up and walk like 30 steps for it to register. You can game these by standing and swinging your arms about 30 times though.

Has anyone noticed the Apple sleep tracking using more battery than before? I swear it used to use about 10-15% overnight but the last couple of days it seems to be draining at the same rate as my use during the day. I’ve turned it off and back on, anything else to check?

Do you mean just turning it off and back on? As I tried that but also the hold both buttons until Apple logo thing. Gone from 75% to 11% in 11.5 hours but I did the hard reset at midday so will check tomorrow after a full charge.

Anyone know why my FaceID unlock is not working when wearing a mask now? Was working fine two days ago. After rebooting my phone and watch it worked to unlock the phone at first but wouldn’t open any other things and then stopped altogether. I tried turning it on and off in the phone and watch as well. I’ve also yet to update the watch to 7.5 yet, not sure if it’s that.

I surf with my watch and use an app to track it as exercise and stats. It loving sucks every time I get out of the water and spend ages trying to blow my finger and watch dry to end the drat session.

illcendiary posted:It’s a really good app and definitely my most used app on the watch, but it’s extremely buggy/temperamental. Every workout I have several issues with timer on the watch syncing with the phone, the timer starting and then immediately zeroing out, etc. Been a problem for a while too. Yep agreed! Great app but their Apple Watch part is buggy and they never seem to fix it. Updating/fixing it is on their roadmap but has been for like over 12 months. Does anyone have a suggestion for a nice bedside stand that can charge my watch (using the charger that comes with it is fine) and also my xr wirelessly? There was a nice Belkin one that seemed to do this but it looks like they stopped making it?

I’m a bit confused about Focus. The watch is supposed to reflect the phone right? So I have Focus to turn on for exercise when I use Strong app, but off when I use the workout app. However it only seems to turn on when I’m using Strong on my phone actively, so when I lock my phone it turns off the Focus on my watch too. It wasn’t working like this before I don’t think, is that right?

kefkafloyd posted:Once the escalating monthly goals got too much, I just ignored them. My goal is to set a reasonable move value and close all three rings every day. 600 cals move, 30 mins exercise (which I usually do 45 minutes of a walk or ring fit, or half an hour of exercise bike) and the 12 hour stand. I agree. Would be nice to have some carry over so it looks at your week rather than day to day.

Went for a couple of scuba dives today and obviously didn’t take my watch. Is there anyway to get some Move credit for this? It should be around 2.5k kj which is significant but adding manual data to the Activity section on the Health app didn’t add to Move.

Speaking of battery charging. I still haven’t found a way to get the watch to tell me the status of my phone battery. Anyone know how? I often have my phone charging in another room so would be handy to be able to check.
