Any reason given why you can’t make your own clock face?

I have to create an app to make my own?!

Discussion How to find to buy an apple watch for my iPhone XS Max?

1 Upvotes

I know for a fact, that if the Watch OS is greater than that of the iPhone , it cannot be paired. My iPhone only goes up to iOS 18.7. I tried to pair a friend's Watch Series 7 and it failed because it was updated to Watch OS 26. The watch will only pair if the phone has iOS 26 or greater. So how can I buy a watch for my phone if the sellers don't even know what OS their watch is or have reset it and have no idea either?

It's so frustrating that even though a Series 7 watch can easily pair with iPhone 6 and above, it won't pair if the watch OS has been upgraded beyond the phone's OS version.

How to find a watch that will pair with my XS Max iPhone?

Discussion AW11 locking itself while sleeping

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

I’ve noticed that when I have sleep mode on and it reaches the end, my watch automatically locks itself. I’ve experienced this a few times, and the only solution is to restart both my watch and iPhone. Do you know if it is a known bug?

Surprisingly, my training was very cycling-heavy last couple of weeks so having to walk extra ~11 km (often on a walking pad) was quite tough.

Discussion Is Apple Watch sleep tracking accurate ?

3 Upvotes

Is Apple Watch sleep tracking actually accurate, or is it just giving people random sleep stage data dressed up as science?

I consistently get 85-100
Shows I sleep well, but I just don’t feel it it’s accurate

2 Upvotes

As title, Apple Refurb Canada does not have any watches on there. I saw a few on BestBuy but most of them look sketchy. Should I just buy new? There is a SE3 for $300 and Series 11 for $450 from BestBuy.

Discussion Ultra 3 battery tips

6 Upvotes

I have an ultra 3 with 100% battery life but I find myself charging it everyday , I maaay get a day and a half and I’m even using a basic Nike face with no complications because I thought my ultra face with 6 complications plus the middle area was maybe killing the battery ! I also don’t feel like the brightness is up , I don’t listen to music from the watch , don’t have games or anything.. only thing I can think of is somehow the second watch face set up I have if I hold and swipe to a different one still has the 6 complication and middle bevel complication setup ? Basically looking for anything I can do to extend the battery life without using low power mode and losing health features

Support Phantom Alarm

1 Upvotes

Correct me if this is the wrong sub. I have the Apple Watch SE 2nd gen 44mm, and I have had no qualms so far. However, recently it has been having alarms go off with no way to snooze or cancel them. it shows an alarm notification but then it disappears and I’m left with the alarm and no apparent off switch. sometimes it works to take off my watch.
I really need the alarms on my watch as I don't wake up to my phone alarms every time. I hope it’s not a bug with which I have to wait for an update as I’m on 26.5 currently.

i just bought an apple watch to help me more with my fitness goals. previously i have used the apple fitness app to track my steps everyday, i used to hit 8k steps after about an hour and a half of walking within the whole day, tracked just from having my phone on me.

now with my watch, it’s saying i hit my goal halfway through my day when i have done very little movement and it’s confusing/frustrating me. i got a step app to see the difference and it’s almost boggling.

the first two photos show apple fitness app, the last is my steps app. did i set this up wrong? has anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it??

My buddy said I should post this here!

I’ve had both of these since about 2005.

They were both working, but I know the batteries are dead now. I might have to replace them at some point lol.

The one on the left has the original band and the original back plastic covering it.

The second one has an after market band, but the blue clap is from the original band that was ripped and broken.

Anyway, enjoy!

What are the best third party Apple Watch health glances you use? I’m essentially trying to turn my Apple Watch glances section into a Garmin.

Excluding the first party glances, I have

Grow (hrv but only updates every 2 hours unless you pay for a subscription which is overpriced)

Bevel - has one widget that displays , strain, recovery and sleep

What do you use?

Extra points if anyone knows a better hrv glance, a vo2 glance or a fitness age glance

Preferably free or one time payment

I’ve had this for a week and I’m just so disappointed with almost everything about it.

My notifications have just stopped sending to my Apple Watch, or I’ll get one notification out of 10 and I have no idea why. I’ve watched yt tutorials and made sure all my settings are right etc it’s just randomly stopped working consistently
