    Two weeks ago I decided it was time for a change.

    Has anyone received a notification of an irregular heartbeat from the Apple Heart Study?

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 07:08 AM PST

    Yesterday I was allowed into the heart study after signing up on Dec 28th. I know a few of you have been in the study for a while now.

    I was curious if anyone has gotten a notification saying that the watch detected an abnormal rhythm. If so, what was that process like? Did you follow up with your own doctor? It may be too early, but I was curious and I don't think I've seen anyone post about it.

    My watch was kicked across a concrete floor and I’m so sad ��

    Shopping list checkoff. The best feature that took me years to realize was there.

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 06:43 AM PST

    My wife an I do shared shopping lists using the reminders app. Had not occurred to me to use the watch to check off items as I went. No more unlocking the phone to check mark an item and look up the next one.

    Apple Watch with Google Services

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 06:52 AM PST

    Just curious, is an Apple Watch with Google Services a limited experience? I am pretty heavily invested in Google services (Gmail Calendar Maps Keep) and I know Apple Watch doesn't have these apps. So, is there a good way to use all these services with the watch? I have heard that Spark might be a good email app to use? The native mail app doesn't get Gmail push so that isn't an option. Native calendar app for my Google calendar will work ok? I assume I am out of luck for Maps and Keep?

    Another question is, would it be worth ditching Google services to get a better experience. Maybe going with Microsoft so I can use the native mail app? Not sure if something like Onenote works well with any watch apps? Do Microsoft services tend to work better with the default Apple/Watch apps?

    Thank you.

    Rings closed while I slept

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 02:57 AM PST

    I accidentally started a workout via the UA Record app on my Series 3 Watch. I awoke at 3:30 AM to find my move and exercise rings had closed--in only three and a half hours, while I was asleep! Clearly this is bad programming on UA's part as I certainly wasn't burning 781 calories while snoozing.

    I've deleted the data for today in the Health app, but the rings remain closed. Any idea how to 'unclose' them?

    EDIT: it seems to have resolved itself.

    Feature Request: Warm up and Cool Down workouts

    Posted: 05 Feb 2018 03:46 AM PST

    My workflow is something like: I start one HIIT open goal workout on the warmup and end it when i go to the locker to take the shower, after the cool down.

    Today's workout was something like 5 rounds of different stations, and i wanted to know how much time I spent in each, so I added a new workout on the beginning of each round.

    Wouldn't it be nice to start the workout with a "WarmUp" workout, then add the HIIT for each round and after the last, just add a "CoolDown"?

    Am I missing something? Do you guys have other workflows?

    My 42mm series 2 just fell out of my locker and shattered the screen. What’s the best way to go about repair?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 12:23 PM PST

    Curious to see how I compare. What’s your ratio of contributions to days?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 06:32 PM PST

    Is a Series 1 that much faster than Series 0?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 06:23 PM PST

    When using stock apps, is a Series 1 that much faster than a 0?

    Calibrating Apple Watch correctly

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 07:50 PM PST

    Hello all,

    So I just got my first Apple Watch about three days ago (long story... I went to Apple to bring my phone because it's bent, and I walked out with an Apple Watch. It all happened so fast!) I ended up getting a basic series 1. I have two main questions I can't find a clear answer on! I've found some on apple's webpage, but it's all so vague. Ugh. I'm hoping people here can answer my questions!

    • I am really interested in the resting heart rate feature, however, it's completely grayed out on my phone and this feature is unavailable! The only heart rate feature I have to to measure my current heart rate. I was wondering how I can get this reading to work? Do I need to calibrate something special? Do I have to wait more days?

    • I have not used my watch for workouts yet, however I've been wearing it around throughout the day. Today I decided to use "workout indoor walk" while I window shopped at target mostly out of curiosity. I noticed that the amount of calories burned while doing this brisk walk while using the workout app was way somewhat higher than if I would have not used the workout app while out on my target run. Why is this? Wouldn't it technically be the same amount of calories burned, workout app or not?

    Thanks advance for the feedback everyone! I'm excited to own one of these and want to figure it out ASAP! I want to make sure I can calibrate it as accurately as possible, so tips on doing that are SO appreciated.

    Does the Watch make you stick with Apple?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 10:05 AM PST

    Not looking to debate Apple vs Android/flavours of Android. And I'm having significant angst even posting this because I know how these posts can go but anyway...

    I like the Android experience on the Note 8. What it allows for productivity for me is great. I find iOS a little stiff, and like a machine for apps more than anything.

    That said, I really like the Apple Watch - it's a really useful accompaniment and I haven't found anything remotely comparable that works with the Note. From workouts to phone, reminders, little things on the go, comfort and lightness.

    Any former Android/Samsung users able to break up with that platform and stick with Apple particularly for the complete Watch/iPhone experience?

    ETA: Husband has iPhone, daughter has iPad, I'm the relatively technically capable adult in our household, we love our Apple TV setups, FaceTime.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 09:17 PM PST

    Hey, i'm on the fence on buying the new Apple Watch 3 but i am one of those that really like wearing normal watches and i am asking myself If It is worth spending the money on an Apple Watch and don't wear It everyday?

    Is Fantastical a good watch app?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 12:57 PM PST

    I was all set to buy it as I would like to be able to add events via my watch but when I did a search on here for it there were a lot of negative posts saying it didn't work well with the watch anymore. These posts were a few months to a year old. Just wondering if the issues have been resolved with recent updates or if it still has issues?

    Nike sport loops

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 01:40 PM PST

    Weren't the Nike sport loops only supposed to be exclusive until January? Has there been any word on when they be available separately? I have the midnight fog band but I really want to get my hands on the black/platinum band.

    Battery life on LTE Apple Watch, without using LTE?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 11:28 AM PST

    I heard the battery on the LTE was better, and I'm thinking of getting the Stainless Steel model with no intention of using LTE. Was wondering how much hours I could roughly be looking at!

    Looking for Apple Watch screen protector

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 05:33 PM PST

    Hi: I have been using Apple Watch screen protector made of soft tpu but most of the get water trapped in wether I take a shower, wash my hands or swim. So I wonder if you could suggest me a really good amazing screen protector that will protect all edges, maintain sensitivity and that won't retain water under it . Thank you

    So, how much “arm motion” would you say the watch picks up?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 09:00 PM PST

    I.E. clapping, waving, rapid movement, hitting, slamming, brushing your teeth..bumping into something... whatever else you can possibly think of that isn't normal walking or running or an exercise being tracks..

    How much of it do you think it picks up and counts as steps or standing goals and stairs?

    I remember my Fitbit literally picked up everything.

    Is it possible to use a Bluetooth heart rate chest strap and Bluetooth headphones simultaneously with Strava on an Apple Watch S3?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2018 11:38 AM PST

    I'm interested in getting an Apple Watch S3 GPS to use with Strava for running/cycling and am curious about the title. I've heard it is possible to do one or the other (headphones + Strava or chest strap + Strava) but I haven't been able to find if it's possible to do both at once. Thanks.
