Walkie talkie. Do you use it?

I’ve tried it with my SO during a visit to IKEA. So when we were apart for a few minutes I was able to give an update where I am or what was interesting so look at. But in public I found it rather awkward others listening to our conversation. And now I can’t think of other use cases. So how, when, where and with whom do you use this function?

Apparently the blood oxygen sensor is patent-encumbered.

Alarm when wearing watch

I know this is an ongoing issue but when I have my sleep alarm, it just vibrates the watch. It doesn’t play on the phone. Apple states that’s working as designed. Does anyone have any good workarounds? Right now I set two alarms to get it work.

No Home App after OS 10 Update: Series 4

I wear my Stainless Steel Series 4 to bed. After updating to watch OS 10, I noticed it would not accept Siri commands for my HomeKit accessories. I only wear it to bed, so I just chalked it up to an early bug and ignored it. After loading each update between 10.0 and 10.1, the issue has persisted. When opening the Home app on the the watch, it would just show the clean energy info at the top of the display and at the bottom it would indicate I haven’t set up any home accessories (I have tons, and they all work on my Ultra Watch and all other devices). So, I decided to erase all content and setting and set up as new. Now, the Home app isn’t even installed on the Watch, and does not appear in the list of apps in the Watch app on my phone. I didn’t notice anything about HomeKit or Home app support being discontinued or unsupported in Watch OS 10 on older models. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Anyone experiencing random crash/restarts? (Series 9)

This has been happening the past few weeks. I’ll look at my watch and see that it’s locked even though I haven’t taken it off, and sometimes I’ll catch it on the logo screen restarting. I can’t seem to find any rhyme or reason for it. My wife has a series 7 on OS 10 and isn’t having this problem. Anyone else having this issue on series 9 or other watch?

Square icon on Mail notifications instead of circular?

I'm pretty sure this has happened to me several times over the years, but it hasn't happened for a while so I can't remember the fix. But for some reason, the notifications for Mail on my Apple Watch are square instead of circular. As you know, circular notifications are interactive and can be replied to, actioned, etc. whereas square ones are literally notifications and you can't do anything with them. Any ideas how to fix?

WatchOS 10.0.1 adds colors to Snoopy face?

When I first used the Snoopy face with 10.0 it always had a gray background. Now with 10.0.1 I get random colors. Is this new? Looks great!

Thoughts on watchOS 10 www.apple.com

What are your thoughts on the new watchOS 10? So far it seems OK to me, but I am missing the edge-to-edge screen swiping to change watch faces, why was this removed?

disconnect AW ultra from iphone?

I’ve been using my Apple Watch ultra and I’ve been loving it for a few months. I love going for runs without my phone on me. I only have one dread; when I need to go for a run without my phone, I can’t disconnect my iPhone from my watch and use the LTE I’m paying for unless I turn off my phone or I go far enough away from the phone. When I play music on my watch, the music gets choppy cuz it’s losing phone connection. Any idea of how to disconnect the phone without shutting it off?

Favorite watch band?

Does anyone find the braided watch bands more comfortable in the summer? Who's got one, and what's your preference?

Watch face for various scenes?

Do you have dedicated watch faces for specific situations, scenes, scenarios, etc. you switch to? If so, what are your complications you use? I was thinking of "building" a few for occasions/situations such as - at home - work/home office - out and about - in the car - on vacation ... I might be ... no .. I am surely over-engineering this but its fun :D

Recommendations for black loop/band for the Ultra?

Hi together, I am looking for a simple band for my Ultra, which I can wear for workouts, on holidays, does not take ages to dry but still looks decent/elegant when wearing a shirt e.g. I was thinking of a black, synthetic band like the braided black loop. But the official one officially does not support the Ultra. Officially. I’d prefer one pure in black or a Color matching the Creme tone of the ultra. No fancy/large laces or ornaments. Can your recommend any?

First ever watch arrived yesterday!

Got one for my partner also. She and I are doing Noom together. We have series 8’s, so what are the apps and features you can’t live without? Also doing some international traveling at the end of the summer (hello there, Ireland!).
