Is anyone doing subsidized contracted watches yet? Like sell it for $100 if you keep 24 months of LTE.

Is there any good solution to listen to podcasts from the LTE watch while running without a phone?

How does the watch work with the Strava running app? Can you connect the Apple workouts to the Strava site or do you need to use the Strava app to record?

Violator posted:So in consideration for those with older watches thinking about upgrading, how bad are the LTE fees on ATT (or I guess any carrier)? The plan is $10 a month + like $5 in taxes and fees? Total about $15 a month? That seems super excessive for internet on a watch. $14.22 on ATT. An LTE iPad is $13.24. Part of that is a $1.99 administrative fee on every line.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Lmao what the hell? It’s $10 flat on t-mobile and that’s still $5 too much. Almost 15 is insane. Is there some carrier that will just let me add an Apple Watch alone for $10? I don’t really care about my same phone number working, I just want data.

Seems like all the watches I look at have an October 12 ship date now.

EpicNemesis posted:As of a few hours ago BH still had launch day shipping (unclear if it ships on the 21st or delivers) and if you are outside of NY/NJ no taxes. I think that’s the best bet for the watch. Thanks for the tip!

They are also closed for Yom Kippur at the exact time they probably need to be shipping watches to arrive on Friday so... But even so, Apple still is showing Oct 15th as the ship date for the watch I want which is almost a month later. smackfu fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Sep 17, 2018 |

I do wish you could buy without the band, especially since they have stopped giving any choices there. My wife bought the gold one but will never ever use that pink band it comes with.

Didn’t get the Veterans Day badge either despite definitely doing a 30 minute workout in the workout app on the 11th.

Almost killed my self today trying to tighten my sport band while I was running on the treadmill because it wasn’t picking up any heart rate. Then I realized a couple minutes later that taking off the watch during a workout pauses the workout and doesn’t automatically restart it when you unlock it. Doh.

Endless Mike posted:Best Buy is having a 50% off sale on watch bands. Looks like only the old sizes (38 and 42) and the stock is pretty depleted but if you wanted one of those $250 leather bands, you’re not going to find a better deal.

Why is the lock functionality during workouts associated with the water purge thing? It knows I’m not doing a swim workout so it is a mystery.

I should have said, the problem I have with lock invoking the water mode is that when you unlock it then it plays that stupid noise and stops my music.

Something I always find amusing... I go to the gym in the morning and get 80% of my move goal. About ten minutes after I get home, the watch says “you only need a brisk 11 minute walk to meet your goal!” Somehow I’m breaking their system because there is no way that prompt should come up then.

The sellers don’t usually last more than a month or two, so recommendations age quickly.

In the workout app, the running distance is shown in blue during a workout now. I swear it used to be a different color and don’t know how I changed it. Am I losing my mind?

We’ve compared the knockoffs to the real one in an Apple store and I think the only way to tell is that the link size was slightly different. I’m not sure how someone could make a better quality copy that anyone would care to pay for. The coating can wear off on the cheap ones but you can just buy a new one as needed and still come out way ahead.

I never knew this feature existed, and I have it turned on. I think because I put on my watch in the morning, before I pick up my phone, so it has no chance to magically unlock.

We compared a fake Milanese loop to a real one and the only difference was the rings were a slightly different size. Also the black wears off as mentioned. But it was $15 vs $150 so that pays for a lot of replacements. The real sport loop is nicer than the fake ones but again it’s $5 vs $50.

The screen on the series 4 is so noticeably bigger / better I would never buy a series 3 today. (Speaking as someone who wears a hand-me-down series 3 and is waiting for the next release to upgrade,)

Curious to see how they deal with complication updates and the always on screen. Not unusual to see stale data today when you lift your wrist which is then updated a second later.

Huh, didn’t realize that series 3 gets very few of the new watch faces with watchOS 6. Just Numerals Duo and Numerals Mono which are super basic and have no complications.

There’s this: https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/use-gym-equipment-with-apple-watch-apdf855bb3c0/watchos But my gym doesn’t have fancy enough machines for that. Just Polar integration.

So now you can pick whatever band you want at time of purchase, the Nike models are completely silly right? Literally just the same thing but with a flag that says you can use the Nike watch faces. Or can you not pick an arbitrary band if you get the Nike model? Edit: Ah, you can’t select a Nike band in the studio unless you start with a Nike model, and Nike models can only select from Nike bands in the studio. smackfu fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Oct 12, 2019 |

Another very niche workout app is RowingCoach for crew boats. It measures your stroke rate by looking at your arm motion which is pretty darn neat. And can work completely separate from your phone. Although I mainly use it because the Workout app doesn’t have an outdoor rowing option.

Wow, I was surprised how hard they were pushing Apple Care on me at the store. Even after I gave a clear “No”. “Its only $70” isn’t much of a sales pitch.

japtor posted:For my last watch I did the monthly thing cause it was like $3/month (indefinitely?) and felt more palatable that way. S5 came in and I was gonna do the same but it showed $4/month...I just paid the $70 or whatever. I’ve broken a few so yeah kinda paranoid about it. Hmm monthly might be more palatable, even if it comes out to $96 for two years instead of $79. Add it to my monthly Apple bill.

It’s more that I have no confidence I will keep the watch for two years. On another topic, in the Activity app, I am getting “needs more data” for a bunch of trends which I think is odd since I’ve been using my old watch for at least a year now. Stuff like “Stand Minutes” where it should have data. Happening to anyone else? smackfu fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Oct 20, 2019 |

I feel like the Watch 5 could use some more tweaking in regards to notifications + always on. If it buzzes me, I don’t want to wait a second or two for it to decide to show the alert onscreen after I twist my wrist. I just want it onscreen so I can glance at it.
