    Avoid SchmdtStraps

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 07:34 AM PST

    A little backstory, around Black Friday (Friday after Thanksgiving here in the states) they had a big advertising push in Instagram. I knew my wife was getting me (had already gotten me) a new Apple Watch for Xmas and the bands were noticeably less expensive than official ones from Apple so I decided to give it a try.

    Well, the band showed up about 2 weeks later (received shipping notification after I had already received it) and it was in a small padded envelope with no branding of any kind. I opened the package and it was in a bag with completely different branding, when I looked it up it went to an Aliexpress page where I saw how much I overpaid. The band felt decent so while annoyed I was prepared to write it off. Then I tried to put the band on the watch. One side fit well the other side never locked in and would just slide through. I tried several different ways both swapping the sides of the watch it connected to but that one lug would never lock in place.

    I emailed them the day I got it (12/12) saying there was a problem. I heard nothing back. I followed up again on 12/14. Still nothing. I commented on a post someone made in this sub here and someone that was supposedly associated with the company commented asking for my info so they could remedy the situation. Nothing.

    Finally on 12/23 I filed a complaint through PayPal. I escalated it after not hearing back from the seller on 12/29 and today (12/31) PayPal said they received information from the seller and found in my favor and I received a full refund (at least that went well).

    I don't suggest doing business with this company at all.

    How often do Series 3 go on sale?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 06:06 AM PST

    I spent too long debating whether to buy one and the $50 off sale that was everywhere for like a month ended about an hour after I decided to get it. Does this $50 off sale happen regularly or should I just buy it now? I don't want to wait months but I'd wait a couple weeks.

    I haven't ever been a fan of watches, but I got an Apple Watch for Christmas and I love this damn thing!

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 01:06 PM PST

    Alright, I'm sold.

    I've never really been a watch person for some reason, especially once cell phones became a thing since I could easily check the time whenever I wanted, but I got an SS Series 4 for Christmas and I love this damn thing! Now I feel naked without it (obligatory watch and hairy arm pic).

    My favorite features:

    • being able to unlock my MacBook Pro just by having the watch on.
    • Apple Pay on my wrist.
    • Fantastic for health tracking, I genuinely find it motivational trying to close the rings.
    • I now feel like Dick Tracy, a childhood dream fulfilled.
    • Ability to find my iPhone because I'm boneheaded and misplace it too often.
    • Ability to view notifications without having to pull out my phone.
    • Can use at the gym in conjunction with AirPods which is a perfect combination, I just keep my phone in the locker now, so now it's not swinging in my pockets when I run, or trying to fall out of my pockets when I'm on a bench, and I don't have to set it aside somewhere to avoid these annoyances where I could potentially lose it by accident.
    • Fits nicely in the ecosystem, for example, being able to use it as a remote for Apple TV is so cool.
    • Can easily swap out bands, so I can go from a casual look (like the Product Red Sports Loop pictured above) to something more classy like leather or the Milanese loop with ease, plus tons of great 3rd party options.

    Anyway, I'm sure you guys see these type of posts all the time so I'll stop the gushing here. I just wanted to share my experience with fellow Apple Watch fans. Now I can't go back!

    Do you lock your Watch?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 06:48 AM PST

    I'd be curious to know how many folks lock their Apple Watches.

    For the record, I do not.

    Collected some cool data while skiing today with Slopes!

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 06:39 PM PST

    Data!

    Finished a short day trip to go skiing! Purchased a $1.99 Day pass on slopes and let my watch do the recording. Thought some of it was pretty interesting so I shared. I'm pretty bad at skiing and I don't go very often but it's still fun for me and seeing all this data made it more fun.

    Also thank you r/AppleWatch for giving me a bit more confidence in actually wearing my Apple Watch while skiing. I wiped out a couple times but didn't break my watch so it all worked out fine!

    Anyone else frustrated by the summary screen after finishing a workout?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 04:20 AM PST

    I don't mind it if it goes away once you close the app, but it will stay there until next time you want to start a new workout. It means you're ready for your workout but you first have to scroll down to the done button first, and then start the workout... Sounds small, but it's quite frustrating especially on slower Apple Watches like mine (series 2)

    Does a black watch face consume less energy compared to white?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 08:03 PM PST

    AFAIK Apple watch is equipped with OLED screen and on OLED pixels are lit induvidually. Screen consumes a lot of power so not powering the black pixels should save some energy. I wonder if there would be a noticable difference, lets say between the black vs white infograph face. I would test it myself but i recently bought the watch so my routine is not stable enough to see the impact of it. Any comments? https://i.imgur.com/xBuDcBS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bxOwoWN.jpg

    My watch died last night for the very first time in a year because I forgot my charger. This is what showed up, what does it mean?

    Is there a ‘TheiPhoneWiki’ for Apple Watches and watchOS?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 04:07 AM PST

    As the title says, is there a place like The iPhone wiki for Apple Watches, because I would like to learn more about the components of watchOS, I'd imagine it will be similar to iOS, but it will be interesting nonetheless.

    Another Apple Watch without iPhone question

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 07:35 AM PST

    Hi all, I just want to verify with you all before I make a plunge. I'm an Android user, but would really like to get an Apple Watch (Series 3). I do have an old iphone (5s) laying around the house. From what I've read, I can still activate an Apple Watch by popping my SIM from my Android into the iPhone then activating via the App. I know I won't get messages and calls, but that's OK since I'm almost always near WiFi. Is that all there is to it? Is there any other major functionality I'm missing that I would lose by not having it constantly paired to an iPhone?

    Maps app won’t install and now stuck. Why? (Too right corner)

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 05:46 PM PST

    I had a bad nightmare and noticed my heart rate the morning after. The time coincides with REM sleep that night.

    Noticed a regression in the Activity app regarding pace calculation

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 05:59 AM PST

    Hi there,

    I use my apple watch mainly to record my swimming data, and I noticed the pace is not calculated correctly anymore.

    I'll have splits of ~25/30 seconds per 25 meters, and all of a sudden one split of 2 minutes per 25 meters where I rested. Obviously the overall session pace is wrong now. It's a shame since that was the main metric I used to evaluate my progress. The rest time in "Auto sets" seems correct though, I'm thinking of a regression in the code.

    Screenshot

    I already submitted a feedback to Apple.

    Does it affect you guys as well or is it just me ?

    Those of you who lost your watch while swimming...

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 08:53 PM PST

    How did it happen? I've been swimming quite a bit in both the ocean and lakes/pools using the apple sport band. It seems pretty secure to me and I've not yet had an issue with it coming loose, and it seems like it would be difficult for it to come loose as long as the band is tucked in properly... so I'm curious what the conditions were like when you lost yours...

    Switched from a Fitbit Versa and I absolutely love it! The series 4 Apple Watch is absolutely insane!

    Posted: 30 Dec 2018 12:15 PM PST

    Just found a $700 app on the watch store. Thoughts? Could this possibly be the most expensive app?

    News on ECG for UK?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 04:41 AM PST

    Hi does anybody know if there's any update for the ECG release in the UK? I just got the Series 4 for my birthday today and have noticed it isn't available here in the UK yet.

    Saw this band color(top left) on ali express, apple should definitely make this color real. Ali express just shows the band but doesn’t offer it.

    Re order workouts?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2018 02:25 AM PST

    Hi guys - new owner here. Is there a setting that I'm unable to find... that will adjust the order of the workouts?

    I want outdoor cycle to be the first one on the list as that is my main one - not running.
