Wanna get in on page one and say gently caress Apple for the bullshit they pulled with the Music app in OS4

It took an insanely long time for this one, maybe like a few hours. The processing of the update kept resetting 🤔

Is there any 3rd party Apple Watch chargers worth getting or is it a Magsafe situation where the knockoffs are poo poo and might burn my house down?

I just want a spare one to leave in work/ my GF's house for emergencies.

Is there a way to get to the now playing app without having the audio auto launch setting enabled?

Press the side button and it should be there (the button that isn't the crown, I dunno what it's called)

Watch OS4 and ios11 are the holy pair of dog poo poo Apple releases. It sucks you can't downgrade your watch OS or I would have gone back to OS3+ios10 when they were still being signed.

So to confirm you can store music locally on your watch--as well as back up music via apple music if you have a subscription to listen to without a connection?

Umm I have no idea how it works without Apple Music but the way it works if you have a subscription is you can sync playlists to the watch. It's also SUPPOSED to auto-sync whatever you listen to frequently when your watch is charging but I've found it extremely unreliable lately.

Yeah what WithoutTheFezOn says, I don't think you can access ANYTHING on your watch through a Mac

4.2.2 seems to have fixed the crippling slowdown starting a workout and opening music on my Series 2 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you Apple for finally releasing the good OS

Oh poo poo, I gotta get this. That occasional 8 second wait is horrible.

Music still takes a few seconds to open but once it's active , it isn't a stuttery mess. Same with Workout.

I did my first swimming workout when I was swimming with my kids this weekend. It’s cool as hell that it tells you how far you went with each stroke.

I did my first one last week too! The strokes thing is very cool

It is insanely accurate, I'm looking at a swim I did on Tuesday with four different strokes and I can attest to the numbers being bang on.

So what exactly is this?

A UI for changing the music you're listening to on your phone. It was present in OS3 and cynically excised in OS4

Yep, you can browse your whole library. I used it literally every day while running.

Anyone else having an issue with indoor swims on the workout app giving you totally wrong distance readings?

Mine are STARTING at like 9 or 10 KM.
The number just stays there throughout the entire workout, even though the lengths counter works fine and when you finish the workout, it logs the proper distance.

S2 on the latest OS!

I get all-day battery life on my S2. Which is to say, if I forget to charge it overnight, I might need to charge in the morning.

My S2 will go about 2 days, if I'm staying somewhere that I don't have my charger with me I can usually get a second day's use out of it until I get home that night.
