Wasn't the heart-rate monitoring a thing that only the Series 3 had? Or was that like notifications of abnormal rhythm?

I just got a S3 GPS for myself. It's been cool so far and I'm excited to see how life is with it. However, I just ran into this small thing that was so frustrating but really simple to figure out so I just wanted to post it in case anyone else ever ran into it too. I couldn't get my watch to just use taptic alerts for Messages. It would only do audible alerts. All other alerts were coming in with sounds and taptics or just taptics if I had the watch on Mute. What I discovered was under Notifications, Messages were set to Mirror my iPhone settings (makes sense). Except a long time ago, I decided I didn't want my phone to vibrate for messages so I turned them off. I've since discovered the detailed notification settings and was able to get my Watch to only use taptic notifications for my messages. It was such a small thing but was really frustrating to have happen right out of the box.

Am I crazy or is there no way to have the Watch mirror my iPhone's silent switch (if on, turn on the Mute Watch setting)?

Popping in the say that Weather Underground's Watch app loads significantly faster since the last update. Not satisfyingly fast but it's at least usable now. Also, AnyList's Watch app (available through their yearly sub program) is amazing.

Frank Dillinger posted:Is the S3 worth it over the S2? I can get a refurb s2 stainless for the price of an S3 aluminium, and the sapphire glass would be nice (I’m a klutz) Only if you really like the stainless steel or if you really feel like you need that sapphire glass. Otherwise, the same truism applies to all Apple products: Buy the most advanced Apple product you can at your price-point.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Strong is a good lifting app, but I literally have to do a Reset Apple Watch every single time I start a workout, or it doesn't put the watch into companion mode, and I get no heartbeat data. It works, but having to reset the watch connection every time I go to start a workout is incredibly annoying. And about 80% of the time, the rest and workout timers don't move at all on the watch. I've started using Strong now that I'm lifting again and I've literally never had this happen to me. S3 if it makes a difference. Are you starting the workout from within the Strong watch app or the Workouts app?

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Yeah I'm using a S3 LTE. I am starting the workout from my phone. Sometimes the watch will kick into companion mode on it's own, but most of the time I have to do a Reset Apple Watch to get it to see a new workout was started on the phone. I've tried re-installing the app and whatnot, and nothing. Ah okay. I plan my routines in advance on my phone so they're ready on the Watch when I start. Then I start them on the Watch and have had no issues. I don't like using my phone in the midst of a workout but that's just me.

I can usually squeeze out three days on my S3 without charging it or turning it off at night (something I've never actually thought to do, I like the Night Stand feature).

Hey so an official Podcasts app is coming with a watchOS update in the fall. Maybe that also signals the ability for third party podcast apps to also do their thing on a Watch.

Not weird at all. Maybe the Series 5 or 6 will see a major design revision that'll make it thinner.

For a "complimentary" device, having its own app store should seems like its making strides towards becoming its own, standalone thing in watchOS 13.

Something else for the space issue on old S3s, check if any apps are showing as installed in usage but not in the iPhone watch app list of installed apps. This accounted for enough room to squeak by the 3.1 GB requirement. Got me from 2.5 to 3.2. It’s disconcerting the list of installed apps wasn’t the same as what I was seeing in the app collection on my watch. Probably some apps i tried downloading solely from the Watch App Store.

I’m glad I’ll finally have a real reason to update my watch to the next watchOS version. I hate I have to unpair it (and redo my Apple Pay cards) just for software updates. But I’m drat excited about the iPhone unlock if Apple Watch is unlocked functionality. Especially while wearing a mask and using faceid.

Anyone else’s S3 just really taking a dive of late? Read texts showing as unread, Focus status syncing, and apps constantly getting booted out of memory have all ticked up where I only rarely encountered it before.

I just upgraded from a 42mm S3 to a 45mm S7 and it’s almost too big. Love it and the snappyiness of the interface. M So far, the Digital Solar Dial face is my favorite new face.
