Rate my apple watch setup

Series 10 46 mm

I'm genuinely curious. I bought my first Apple Watch (a 6) because of the always-on-display because to me it made it look like less of a toy. I'm on a 10 now and personally I like how bright it is when its not...being looked at?.

I live in a region where a lot of people have Apple Watches, and most of them keep the display off.

Am I committing a fau-pas by leaving my display on? What's the community's thoughts on the always-on-display?

My daughter has an apple ID that she uses with her iPad. A few friends have access to her apple ID and can message her there on her iPad.

She just got an Apple Watch for her birthday and it is set up under family (she's 11) and I have access to her watch settings. When we set it up in the Verizon store, it needed to have an Apple ID associated with it, so we used her existing one.

I want her Apple watch to be strictly used as a form of communication to family for emergency purposes or checking in when she isn't with us. I do not want her friends to be able to message her on her iPad and have them display on her Apple watch. I seem to have it locked down in a way that she cannot message them directly (she can only message her watch contacts who are family only). Not I do not want her to even see messages from her friends on her Apple watch, if that makes sense- which she can see. She says she can see them, but she can't open them. But I don't want them to display at all.

I am assuming she can see them because it's all under one Apple ID. How can I fix this?? Do I need to create a separate Apple ID used for the watch, and unpair the original Apple ID and have that only be used when she's on her iPad? Trying to not have to delete friend contacts at all (I'm totally fine with her talking to them in moderation from an iPad that can be taken away and used in spurts- do not want that to be the case with a watch that she wears daily).

Any help is much appreciated!!!!

Just yes.. hell yes!

Just wanted to share my favorite. This watch face really scratches my itch for useful, relevant information. What other complications do you all use (other than what’s here) every day, and why?

Nope, just stirring gravy.

After serving me for 3 years and 3 months, this Monday, my series 6 did not survive the fall into the shower’s floor.

Not to go into much details, I had a very bad time without my watch and I ordered the one I can get fastest. I would have gotten the silver one but I only had this option if I was willing to either overpay or wait for 1-2 weeks.

And so on Thursday I got my new series 10 jet black.

I actually loooove the color and I have no more regrets but on overall I would not have upgraded yet.

It is also slightly concerning that my motivation to workout was lower because I didn’t have my silly little device that doesn't even actually tell any crucial info? I use my watch for many things but damn… I didn't realize how essential it was for me.

My watch seems to pause the workout randomly if there a way to fix it after?

(Posted in r/iphone, but I’m not getting any answers there.)

When I’m playing YouTube videos on my iPhone, or when an alarm rings on my iPhone, I sometimes have controls that pop up on my Apple Watch, but other times don’t. They’re not far away from each other, so I’m not sure what the conditions are for when I can and can’t control the phone from the watch. Thanks

I’ve tried entering the password using my iPhone in the morning, but it doesn’t work. How do I get rid of this?

There’s no indicator of which app requires verification.

Thank you for any help!

My watch doesn’t give me VO2max readings. I read that I needed to wear my watch overnight for a few nights for it to do so and I have been wearing it overnight every night since the end of January, but no readings. My watch has randomly given me a reading before so I’m unsure why it will not do it regularly. Any suggestions?

This past year I have been fortunate enough to have a stable job that has allowed me to buy some gadgets I had always wanted.

This is my latest treat.

anyone else having issues with the remote app on the watch not connecting properly and dropping off?

We just bought an Apple Watch for our 6th grader. We have it set up for Family Sharing and turned on Screentime. I'm also aware of School Time, but now we just want to set it up to make it easy to use by getting rid of unnecessary apps. We'll primarily be using this for keeping in touch when our chid is at practices/hanging out with friends and for our child to easily listen to music, podcasts, text their family and friends. They seem like the activities/circles, so that's cool too.

Any recs on what a 12 year old should and should not have on their Apple Watch? In addition, what ScreenTime settings do you all recommend? There are a lot of options and I wish there was just a "here's what we recommend you do" guide available somewhere! This is a super trustworthy kid, so we're not worried about them going around our backs to do something, we also don't feel the need to lock it down so they can't do anything for that reason.

Hi everyone, I’m not really sure the best place to ask this because it’s specific to South Africa, so I do apologize if this is unwelcome. But I have a Apple Watch that’s battery is very worn and in need of replacement, but our istore doesn’t service Apple Watches so does anyone know of a reputable place where I can get the battery replaced that won’t damage the watch or rip me off. Apple does not directly have any stores in our country but rather partners.

Just got mine for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 Titanium Black; and it looks as amazing as I thought it would, and i’m worried about wear and tear on the long run, the hook doesn’t look sharp but I have genuine concerns that it may end up tearing through the fabric eventually with time and use; I found a sweet spot and I definitely don’t want to loosen or tighten it either. Is there anyone out there that had this band for long to advise or maybe share their experience? Thanks!

Pretty happy with the glow! Band by Nomad.

I want to be able to see the last o2 measurement like I can with the heartbeat, but it only lets me add a shortcut to the o2 app. Is there a second party app that is able to do this? I have a lung condition so it’s important to me.

I know it’s an older model but works just fine! Ok I have an Apple Watch SE 2nd gen and I want to now add data too-it says I foro my watch > cellular but that’s not an option what do I do?

I’m a bit confused as to how to get the sleep tracking to work. I recently got a refurbished series 5 and it’s been working wonderfully, besides tracking my sleep. I hit the little button below the wheel, scrolled down and turned on sleep tracking but it still doesn’t track correctly. Some days it will, some it won’t. Asking if I’m doing something wrong possible? Thank you!

I feel good! Thanks Apple Watch!

I usually have my last recent stock looked at displayed on my apple watch face. But after waking up this morning it just disappeared? And it won’t let me re add it? some times it shows up some times it disappears.

anyone else experiencing this?

I currently have the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and looking for a good band that is smooth/ rubber with a simple look that doesn’t make the watch stick out. The most important thing is one that has complete adjustment and not the notches.Every time I get one with notches one setting is too loose and the other is too tight lol.

I have the Ultra 2 and I got it so I can record my overnight temperature and actually wear it during my sleep. The temperature was working up until mid-February and now it just doesn’t work anymore. I use sleep focus every night and have a sleep schedule set up in health. It records my HR, my breathing, my REM cycle, everything just not my temperature anymore. Any tips to get it to work again?
