That's pretty much the Milanese Loop, swap the buckle with a magnet. Don't let that scare you, it works really well.

No, it doesn't, and it weakens with time. It's fine, not great. It loosens over the day and many of us have noted it needing to be adjusted and unlocked again with each adjustment.

It looks like carrot uses the dark sky data. And also on top of the $5 for the app, you have to buy “premium” for the watch alerts. Ehhhhh.

The data from dark sky isn't the issue; the quality of the app named 'dark sky' precludes its ability to display it well.

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.

Even more annoyingly, the watch will tell you it failed and actually send, leading to duplicates when you don't double check the failure on the phone.

The newest update enabled nightstand mode in any configuration on the charger, not just specifically a near perpendicular angle from the table surface on its side. You may be seeing the effect of that?

I did an obstacle course race this weekend and I had my sport band and watch with me for it. Ran and crawled through water and mud and the watch worked just fine (lost my heartbeat for a bit while it was mud covered but the workout/GPS tracking continued). One thing of note was during the 15’ dive into a pool the splash completely undid the sport loop. I felt it immediately and raised my hand so it wouldn’t slip off but that was a fun near lost-my-watch moment.

So try to avoid jumping or diving into water with a sport loop.

The instructions for the sport loop recommend the tail be facing a specific direction for swimming activities, if it is the loop and not the band we're talking about

The included instructions that no one reads because it's a watch band posted:

During water sports, attach the folded side of the band to the top of the Watch for a more secure fit

If this is how you were wearing it to begin with, then it's probably not suited for you in the pool.

The book "After Steve" goes into great detail about the building of the watch. They originally wanted to make it fitness-focused, but Ive was obsessed with the idea of making it a fashion item and most of their marketing and design went into that. The sales of the first batch of watches were not up to expectations and although fashion magazines and the scene was interested in it at first, but fashion is a fickle beast and eventually the 'fad' was over. Tim Cook held an emergency meeting to figure out how to save the watch and they decided to go all-in on the fitness aspect, to great results. I don't think they're interested in going back to luxury fashion-focused watches.

I gotta be honest there is little to nothing of the features exclusive to new watches that I'm looking for so i'll get rid of this one when it stops working or the battery becomes untenable. I know some people who update the hardware compulsively but only one or two who actually get a usecase change out of it.

Garmin connect is a thing, massively used by people with Garmin devices. It gives far more in-depth training analysis than Strava or apple Health.

I already use it to track cycling with my cycling computer, and it’d probably be easiest to grab a watch from them, just exploring whether the Apple Watch can do the same thing as I can get one so cheap.

That’s exactly what they’re saying; Garmin has their proprietary solution they use to justify purchasing their products so they have no impetus to implement interconnectivity

This is....completely incorrect.

The act of swimming (assuming you are using your arms) puts pressure on the clasp mechanism that is incredibly non-robust. It was regularly mentioned when the sport loops were released that you want to install them a different way while you are frequently swimming because there had been enough complaints about the silicon ones having water issues. Nice that yours have held up though.

I've had a watch since they launched and I've gone through a few of them and several sport bands. Done plenty of swimming in pools and oceans. Never seen it or had anything close to that happening. I'm old and my memory is going so I can't remember ever hearing anything like what you mentioned. Do you have links I could read up on ?

I haven’t saved links and apparently there is now an ‘Ocean Band’ with the ultra that makes searching for such resources difficult. https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleWatch/comments/ime2n1/comment/g404tuu/ is an as of yet undeleted reddit comment referencing the same thing.

This one is referencing the fabric sport loop, which I could see working its way open if worn 'correctly.' Good to know regardless.

It is, but it also specifically mentions that fabric sport loop as the recommended-for-swimming option because that was the case at the time.

Not sure if watch thread question or iPhone thread question but question.

I went on a hour's walk but messed up the workout tracking and paused early on and forgot to unpause for like 40 minutes. Going into the workout data in Health I can see the pause and unpause events in the workout log and it feels like I should be able to just remove the first pause or add an unpause in but I can't seem to find a way to do that? Is it possible or should I just nuke the workout and write in a new one with eyeballed numbers? (It's a regular routine so I'm quite sure of these numbers)

the watch does additional work when the workout is unpaused, that work can't be retroactively done. you can delete the workout and eyeball it or just add the delta of what you're missing in measured effort to a secondary workout in the middle
