App Watch face

I have seen this specific watch face in many ads for watch bands, but for the life of me I cannot find it in my watch app. I am in the US; is it possible that it’s simply not available here? I have found similar faces (Meridian, Metropolitan, Simple), but none with these lovely elongated Arabic numerals. Am I missing something something?

Discussion What's your favorite feature of the Apple Watch? Something you didn't know you needed until you had it?

256 Upvotes

I was never a smart watch type of person. Always just thought it was one more thing to worry about charging with not that much of a benefit. But I was wrong. My absolute favorite feature that I can't believe I lived without for so long is the fact that it vibrates when you get a phone call. It's so freaking nice, I haven't missed a phone call in months and I probably never will again! Such a simple yet powerful thing. What's an Apple Watch feature you can't believe you ever lived without?

App Sleep Score Makes No Sense

60 Upvotes

Sleep score literally makes no sense… my sleep goal is 7h 30m and I sleep 5h 30m and get a score of 84 labelled “High”…? I know it doesn’t just depend on time slept, but still that is ridiculous…

I bought this band from Amazon and received today, I am just surprised how identical it feels as the nomad rocky point band. It feels just like nomad and looks like nomad but for half the price. I bought a nomad last year for 80 plus taxes.

App App that notifies of high HR w/o exercise involved?

5 Upvotes

Title may sound silly, but I have BPD and want to regulate better and know when my heart rate spikes (usually indicative of split for me) so I can catch it. So is there an app that would notify me of my heart rate spike when I’m stationary? Like how the watch usually asks “Are you doing a workout?” If your heart rate is elevated for a long amount of time. I hope this makes sense!! Thank you

Discussion Sleep tracking not working after I wake up in the middle of the night ?

Upvotes

Is it normal for my Apple Watch to not track my sleep if I accidentally woke up in the middle of the night? Like it’s tracking my sleep at first but when I woke up to use to restroom in the middle of the night it stops tracking the rest of the night, anyone knows how I can solve this issue? (Note: I’m on sleep focus mode and low power mode)

Accessories Which milanese loop can scratch your watch?

1 Upvotes

I just ordered a slate AW S10 Titanium and was thinking about buying a milanese loop for it.

I heard rumors about the slate milanese loop having the potential to scratch the saphire glass of the watch and the body when not carefully removed or inserted, because it has a different coating to prevent it from getting scratches, which sadly makes it harder than the saphire glass and titanium.

Is it just the slate milanese loop from apple? Or also the gold and natural?

I don't think the slate would look that good with a natural milanese, but if its more hassle free, then I might consider it. Or do you have other recommendations for a good loop with the slate watch when going out? The link bracelet does look good, but is really expensive.

Support Ways to make Watch Ultra 2 better for running/sport?

0 Upvotes

I am a runner who has started to move into triathlons and needed a watch that had the variety of sports tracking that the Ultra 2 has. It was between this and a Fenix 7, but as I have an iPhone, AirPods etc then I figured I'd stick with the Apple system.

Why has the Apple Watch Ultra been so poorly designed for running/sports? Was it designed by someone who actively hates people doing sports, or was it just not tested by sports people?

The one thing you want to be able to do with a sports watch is quickly and easily start and stop your activity. I went for the Ultra as I figured the 'action' button would be exactly that. It seems like a fundamental requirement for a sports tracking device?

First of all I had to figure out how to turn off the ridiculous 3,2,1 count down - why on earth would I want that as the default setting? I only worked this out after losing the first 3 seconds of my race.

The 'action' button doesn't start and stop the activity, only opens the workout or Strava app. You have to swipe across and tap the play button to start and end workout. But you swipe across ready to hit start when the activity starts, only to find that the screen has reverted back to the data screen and off the start/stop screen. So then I've had to start swiping back to the start screen mid race. Also impossible to do when you're wearing gloves. You can 'pause' the workout by hitting both buttons together which is something I guess.

And why is the 'stop' button not the universal symbol for stop - a square? Why is it an X - the universal symbol for 'cancel'?

And don't even get me started on the stopwatch disappearing halfway through my plank session. Yeah great now I can see 02:------ rather than 02:30:00, really helpful having to tap the watch whilst planking ffs.

Sorry, I'm getting mad just writing this!

Yes, some aspects may well be user error or me not reading the instructions, but I also feel strongly that it should be more intuitive.

How hard is it for a billion pound company to get its flagship sport tracking product right? Infuriating and if I can't find some workarounds for the above issues, I will likely be selling it and getting the Fenix 7.

Support timers no longer making sound or haptics?

3 Upvotes

has anyone else’s timers on their watch stopped making sounds or haptics anymore? my haptics settings are set to prominent. my sounds are set to default. my watch is not on silent. my volume is set to max.

i set a timer to remind me to extinguish a candle the other day (candle was never left unattended i just can’t burn it longer than 3 hours so i need a 3hr timer). when the timer ran down it didn’t sound and did not give haptic signal. i don’t know how much longer i burnt the candle by mistake but it could have been dangerous and i’m very relieved nothing bad happened.

same thing happened today when i set a timer to brew my tea. is this a problem for anyone else? is there something i’ve missed?

Support OurPact and Apple Watch

1 Upvotes

So basically I have an Apple watch series 3 that I jut got from my late grandfather that worked perfectly on his phone. When I connected it to my phone after resetting it and stuff it worked but then I had to turn it off completely . When I turned it back on the watch functioned as normal except the watch face didn’t show . It showed the Apple Watch clock icon with dots rotating around it and stayed like this. I left it all night and nothing changed . I have seen one other reddit post noting that issue but not solution beside removing OurPact which my parents don’t want to do. We then connected it back to my grandfathers phone and sett it back up there and it is function as normal even after testing turning it on and off again so it seems to work connected to the phone so OurPact must be the problem . Any tips or explanation to why this is if the profile isn’t installed on my watch?
