    Apple watch series 4 battery drain (watchos 5.3)

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 03:28 AM PDT

    Since a couple days my watch battery drains significantly faster. Before i could easily go 2 days on one charge. The battery would be somewhere between 60 and 70 percent after day 1 so I could probably even push for 3 days.

    But now I'm having trouble getting even through the first day and then I'm not even working out or doing a lot with it. Since I haven't installed a single app I'm kinda surprised by this sudden battery drain. The only thing that changed is that I went from iOS 13 beta 4 to beta 5 on my iPhone. Could this affect the battery on my watch?

    I'd love to hear your opinion on this problem. Thanks in advance

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:04 AM PDT

    I recently bought the $230 milanese loop from apple, I just cant justify paying alot for more bands. I was wondering where everyone gets theirs, if its not outside apple? Im in Australia so need something reliable and decently priced :))

    Is there a way to deactivate Activity notifications for others?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 03:16 AM PDT

    So, I don't mind if friends are able to see my activity and trainings but if each time I finish a training I know all of them are going to receive a notification it kind of makes me feel... Controled.

    I've found this to deactivate my notifications, but it's not what I'm looking for.

    Workout: Walking outside doesn't count full time because I can't walk fast.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 04:13 AM PDT

    From a search I think the reason for the different colors on the route has to do with pace. However, I cannot walk faster, so, even though I walk for 30 minutes, it will only register 8 minutes as a workout.

    Is there any way I can adapt the Activity app to my body's ability? I have filled in my age (etc) and set the kcal to 250.

    E: I think I've found the answer. The only option is indeed as /u/AranelFlicker said. That is good enough for me as I use it as a recovery tool, not to share with others (except for my doctor) or competition. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8026170

    Apple Watch 4 screen cracked

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:15 AM PDT

    My dog knocked my watch out of my hand this morning while I was trying to connect it to the charger and now there's crack on the screen. I just bought it less than a month ago and don't have Apple care. Any idea what my options are? My husband is pretty pissed and told me we aren't spending 300 to fix it.

    EDIT: the employee told me I only had 15 days to enroll in Apple care, but apparently it's 60, so I just went that route

    Transferring Cellular Countries?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 12:49 AM PDT

    Hey, so I'm going to be moving from Shanghai to London. I bought my Series 4 in China making it a A2008 which is the same model sold in the UK. I've asked a few different employees at the Apple store but they either said it won't work outside of China or couldn't give me a confirmation that it would work in the UK. Do you guys think I'll still be able to get cellular to work in the UK seeing as it's still essentially the same watch with the same attenas?

    Wi-fi / Bluetooth in nightstand mode

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 11:29 PM PDT

    I sleep with my phone and watch next to my head on a bedside table. I turn them both to flight mode before going to sleep as I don't like the idea of transmitters next to my brain all night (as disputable the evidence might be of any issues).

    The phone seems fine, but when I charge the watch overnight it seems to have updated eg. temperature and weather conditions, by the morning suggesting in nightstand mode it goes ahead and turns Wi-fi etc back on.

    Does anyone know if this is the case?

    Is there any site where I can design band by myself?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:26 AM PDT

    I would like to create band by my own, with my own 'design' but honestly count find any site which would let me do it. I'm not looking for anything too expensive. Would appreciate if you could share some sites with me

    Anyone have any idea how much it costs to replace one of these. And does it damage the water resistance.

    Advice: best knock-off Apple Watch band to buy?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 05:08 PM PDT

    Hi all. Love this subreddit and all the passion and practicality for the Apple Watch.

    I'm hoping redditors can advise me if getting a replica band from amazon or something is OK? I'm thinking something like the black link bracelet - which is super expensive from Apple.

    Any advice welcome !

    Scratch on Apple Watch 4

    I scratched the body of my aluminum space gray watch. Is there a way to fix it?

    I just got an Apple watch series 4 and since I live in india, I don’t have access to most of the safety features and also ECG. I’ll be coming to the US in 2 week as as a student so will all those safety features + ECG automatically activate when I arrive at the US or should I change some settings ?

    Using Apple Watch standalone

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 05:28 AM PDT

    Hi, I currently am too addicted to phone, spending most of my time using it.

    I had this idea of using only Apple watch (cellular) since series 4 checks most of my necessity throughout the day. I don't have an iPhone though. I know the watch needs the iPhone for setup but to go around that hurdle, I was wondering if it was possible to use my roommate's iPhone for setup by logging in my apple id and pairing. He then might consider resetting his iPhone or something later to remove the pairing, that's not really the concern. My ask is, is it possible to use the watch completely standalone after the setup. What shortcoming will I face later if I get around the setup; if any?

    Can't update Apple Watch Series 1

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 04:26 AM PDT

    Hey all,

    As of recent i can't update my Apple Watch Series 1 anymore because it's too low on battery level.

    I would charge it, but my watch doesn't recognize the charger half the time and sometimes randomly disconnects the charger while charging...

    Anybody know a fix for this, as I would like to use this watch again?

    Would you happen to know why i cant choose messages here? It shows on other watch faces but not this one. I tried turning off my phone and watch

    Rubber band causing sweatiness?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:13 AM PDT

    I've had the rubber band for a couple of years now. Wash it regularly, but the past or week or so, my wrist has been sweating underneath the strap. Is it time to get a new band? Anyone have similar experiences?

    EDIT: My band is the original black one that comes with the watch. I have a series 2, if that matters.

    Can’t see any Airplay speakers on watchOS5.3

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:07 AM PDT

    I've never been able to play music from my Apple watch 3 except through Bluetooth. In control centre, pressing the airplay icon shows the heading "Airplay" but the only option is "Apple Watch".

    In the music app, when selecting a track it immediate prompts me to select my AirPods or connect another Bluetooth device.

    Anyone know why I can't see my airplay speakers? They are all visible and working from my phone.

    Choice of bands: stylish vs. workout?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 01:26 AM PDT

    I suppose the answer to this question is going to be it depends on your lifestyle, but I'm curious for those who use the Apple Watch for working out - do you still wear the watch for daily use and the workplace, and if so do you just stick to a sweat-resistant sports band (which arguably is less interesting/stylish)?

    Hyper Grape Loop in stock online with Apple in Australia - HOW TO GET ONE SHIPPED TO THE US, CHEAP!

    Posted: 03 Aug 2019 08:57 PM PDT

    Hi everyone! Apple has the Hyper Grape Nike Sport Loop available online in Australia for $79 AUD (~$54 USD). Here's how to get one, shipped to the US! After all is said and done, you will have paid approximately $66 USD for your loop and shipping total.

    https://www.apple.com/au/shop/product/MV8F2FE/A/44-mm-hyper-grape-nike-sport-loop?

    I recently ordered one for myself and went very smooth. I utilize a parcel forwarding service called Australia Freight Forwarder (AusFF for short). They specifically created for people who want to shop online at Australian websites but want to have the items shipped back to the states. Google them, and check out their reviews. A lot of positive feedback about clients experiences using the service.

    How it works, you register with AusFF. They generate an Australian address to ship your order to, which is one of their warehouses. Once your order arrives at their warehouse, you'll be notified, and they'll ship it out once you submit payment for shipping. They charge a small mark-up above standard Australian shipping charges. Below are the details and instructions:

    1) Set up an account with https://www.ausff.com.au/

    2) Select the "One Off" membership.

    3) Use promo code: HI5 to have the one time registration fee waived.

    4) Verify your identity.

    https://clients.ausff.com.au/Verification.aspx

    Must upload a PDF of your driver's license and a utility bill. If you're paying for shipping with a credit card instead of PayPal, you must also upload a copy of your credit card as well. Set up a verified PayPal account if you're not comfortable with this. (You can hide/redact any sensitive information when submitting images)

    5) Your Australian shipping address is now ready!

    6) Go to the Australian Apple Store online to order your product. You can use your US Apple ID and US credit card to pay. Just use the information given by AusFF for shipping.

    7) Once your product is delivered to AusFF, you'll receive a notification you have a package ready to ship to the states.

    8) Go to "Ship your Packages" and you'll be given options for shipping methods. All shipping methods are standard Australian postal rates with a small mark-up for AusFF's services. You can choose from standard Australian Post Office or Parcel Courier. Estimated rate for standard post is $18 AUD (~$12 USD)

    That's all there is to it! Worked smooth for me! Hope this works for you as well.

    VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you complete the verification process ASAP! Your package will not be shipped by AusFF if not completed. Also, if your package remains in AusFF's warehouse for more than 60 days because you failed to initiate shipping, it will be disposed due to abandonment.

    Siri Face. How are pictures chosen?

    So the pictures are pretty random, how are they chosen for the watch face?

    I tried searching, but couldn't find a definitive answer
