Found this graphic showing how papal watches evolved. Pretty cool to see a smart watch at the Vatican.

And yesterday I went to the shop to try 12 series and I don’t want to change my 38 mm to 42 . It’s too big to me. I also don’t like then you watch os 27. It seems too strange after 8. Battery capacity is 83%

I just opened the watch a few minutes ago. Beautiful, immediately installed aftermarket Amazon band as it was more comfortable. Haven’t owned an Apple Watch since the Series 7. Glad to be back.

Discussion Ultra 1 won’t update to 26.6 when phone is on 27.0.1, and now watch is not syncing with phone anymore

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi guys I updated my phone to iOS 27, obviously the ultra 1 cannot get watch os27 but it can get 26.6, my phone never was on iOS 26.6 and skipped straight to iOS 27 before I updated my watch, now I cannot complete this update and my watch is not syncing with my phone anymore at all much. Very rarely shows Apple notifications, no 3rd party app notifications nothing, functionality of the watch has dropped due to this. I have tried so many times to Complete this update but it always fails

My Watch Love my new Apple Watch Series 12 – Dark Bronze with Olive Green band 🫒

Just got my new 42mm Apple Watch Series 12 in Dark Bronze with the Olive Green woven Sport Loop.

Really loving this color combination!

Also glad I went with the 42mm (cellular) and not the 46mm, which would have been too bulky. Often, less is more.

Post image

Walked into Best Buy and saw that series 12 was out now. My battery still lasts nearly two days 💀 you can’t send any watch faces to it but it’s never faltered amazingly and I’m not the nicest to it as a mechanic and detailer. I don’t need the nicest newest thing so would picking up a used series 10 be decent?

Super impressed with the battery life on my S12 so far - today I took of the charger at 6:32am and now 9pm and still 76% battery left. Big upgrade from my S10.

This band is no longer available from Apple but was one of my favourites from 2 years ago.

I might search for the Sport Loop as well!

Accessories Looking for sport band for Ultra 4 that is smaller in strap width

• Upvotes

As stated in the title, I'm looking for a silicone sports band for an Ultra 4, preferably with a standard watch clasp or a pin clasp like the Nomad straps. However, I don't like how all the straps for the ultra are so wide (they all seem to be around 24 mm or more in strap width). Does anyone know of a strap that fits the Ultra but tapers down a bit more to have a slightly smaller strap width? Thanks.

Support Blood oxygen on S12 not working

• Upvotes

Hi there,

I recently got a S12 Apple Watch and the blood oxygen did work for a while, but today it's reading unsuccessful every single time, I've tried restarting the watch, using the bottom of my wrist, trying my other wrist, regardless it's unsuccessful every single time.

Time for a replacement watch or could it be something else?

Thanks!

Discussion Necklace, what to turn off?

6 Upvotes

Hi, I know this sounds stupid but every winter I wear my watch like a pendant instead of on my wrist. I have some disabilities and with the cold and winter layers it’s just easier.

I use my watch almost exclusively for memory things, timers, calling someone if I have a seizure etc.

There’s lots of cool health tracking things I know and I use them sometimes but right now I don’t need anything with the heart rate or my steps. To save battery and because it’s around my neck and not on my wrist I need to turn some things off but right now I can’t remember what or how.

What all would you turn off in my case and can you point me in the right direction to do that?

Take pity on this girl with a broken brain please. I know I’m weird.

God I hope I flaired this right.

Edit: I guess I wasn’t clear. I just wanted further understanding to know what all features require the wrist and where I might turn those ones off. I’m a little turned around in the watch app.

I am not at all using it for any health or tracking of any kind right now.

Support Series 8 and iOS 27

• Upvotes

Question:

If I update my phone (Pro 13) to iOS 27, will I still be able to use my Series 8 watch? or will I need to upgrade to a newer watch if I update my phone?

Been keeping phone on iOS 26 until I could get a definitive answer and Google was no help.

Support Glitch in Metropolitan face, any way to solve it?

Notice the complications in the video disappearing then coming back when I turn on the display… this bug has been annoying me ever since I switched to this watch face.

It happens when I’m on any style other than the one with the black background, that looks like the AOD.

I was wondering, is anyone else experiencing this? And does anyone have a suggestion to try and fix this?
I’ve tried re-adding the face, restarting, and I’m on the latest WatchOS.

Thanks!

Je viens de craquer pour la Watch ultra 4. Je viens de la série 10. La différence est incroyable, je suis impressionné par la qualité et la taille de l’écran, la réactivité et son design.
Vraiment très heureux de passer à l’ultra 😊
Il me falloir passer l’euphorie pour juger au quotidien dans les prochaines semaines 🙂

Discussion Which model is the best?

0 Upvotes

Olá a todos!

Gostaria muito de receber a opinião de quem já usou um Apple Watch.

Estou pensando em comprar um há algum tempo, e esta seria minha primeira compra de um Apple Watch.

Dito isso, pesquisei bastante e encontrei o Series 11, o Series 12 e o SE de 3ª geração, mas quanto mais pesquiso, menos certeza tenho sobre qual é a melhor escolha no momento.

Se puderem me dar algumas orientações e conselhos, agradeceria muito!

Edited: Do you think there’s much of a difference between the GPS-only model and the GPS/Cellular model?

Accessories Apple Watch Farben

1 Upvotes

Hey, ich bin aktuell sehr unentschlossen. Ich habe die Apple Watch 7, zwischendurch die Ultra 2 und schiele nun auf die 12. die Optik der Ultra in Natur war super. Hatte ein passendes Stahlarmband und fand sie dadurch sehr alltagstauglich bzw. für jeden Anlass passend.
Jetzt gibt es die 12 nur in Space Grey und ich würde gerne wissen, welche Erfahrungen und Eindrücke ihr von dieser Variante gemacht habt hinsichtlich des Vergleichs mit der Ultra in Titan Natur.

Über Rückmeldungen wäre ich sehr dankbar.

This widget keeps popping up in my smart stack, but I don't understand it. Why does it show September when it's already October?
I think it's supposed to compare the distance I've run this month to last month.
But that doesn’t make sense if the current month is September and the gray line is supposed to represent October. The month isn’t over yet.
Can someone please help me and explain this? Thanks!

Is smartwod timer the best workout app out there for the Apple Watch? Or is there another one that maybe has a lifetime membership that does emoms, amraps etc
