    Me, in the eyes of my friends ever since I got an Apple Watch

    OMG, new band for my S5 finally arrived today...

    PSA: remove the band when cleaning your watch

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 07:28 AM PDT

    I never removed the sports band since I got the watch a few months ago.

    I've been wiping it with disinfectant alcohol regularly, as well as putting it under running water to clean it, and it looked great!

    Today I got a sports loop to try out, so I removed the sports band for the first time. There was a fair bit of gunk built up.

    It went away quickly when wiped, but I think it may become a big problem if you stick to one band for several months. I'll definitely be removing the loop and throwing it in the laundry bin once a week.

    It’s all about time... and much more (original content inspired by discussion - why I love my Apple Watch and how I use it)

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 07:55 AM PDT

    Thank you for starting your discussion on the state of the reddit. /u/supremegodzilla - thank you for your encouragement with 'be the change you want to see in the world'. I love the Apple Watch, and use it every day in a way that I am convinced makes me happier, calmer and more productive. I've decided to start writing about it, and here's my first full post

    It's about all time.

    Actually - it's about time, attention and energy. You see, those three are the fundamentals behind human behaviour, productivity and happiness. All of the time and energy in the world isn't going to help you achieve anything unless you're focused, and time and attention alone are no good when you feel exhausted.

    The Apple Watch is a unique device in 2020. You see, whilst most of us have a love-hate relationship with our phones or our computers, I love my Apple Watch. I love Steve Job's original metaphor for the computer - a 'bicycle for the mind'. Despite being someone who grew up loving technology, I have recently become more skeptical and critical of its impact on our world. From Instagram's impact on our mental health to our ever diminishing ability to hold a face-to-face conversation with a loved on without them checking their phone.

    ​

    The Apple Watch is the one device that I don't ever feel guilty about spending too much time on, or feel like it's distracting me from my true intentions and priorities in life. It's the interaction of technology and humanity at its best. It helps me be a better…. me.

    ​

    Time

    ​

    I'm not going to write yet timeless trope/cliche about how our time here is limited. Yet it really is true. We seem to more attuned and inherently get the importance of managing our money, but I don't think most of guard our time with quite as much vigor.

    ​

    Fundamentally the watch helps you tell the time. So you won't be late for your job. So you won't get fired.

    ​

    But it can also do more. It can remind you to pick up milk when you're next near your local supermarket, so you don't forget, and then don't waste time when you remember and need to drive back. It can alert you of the traffic on your morning commute, so you don't get late to your work - So you won't get fired. It can remind you 8 days before your neice's birthday, so you have time to pick her a present that makes her smile - So you won't get fired.

    Attention

    ​

    I think everyone now recognises the incredible extent to which our screens can capture, and hijack our attention. We start with a noble intention of adding something to our to-do list, but then we see how that person we _really like_ actually retweeted/liked our status/post/tweet/fleet and 30 minutes later we're left wondering where the time went and why did we check our phone anyways? That's if we are lucky. The average person unlocks his phone apparently every 2.3 seconds… or something like that.

    ​

    All this is to say I think most of us are now aware of how much of a time sucking black hole our phones have become. And that's a problem. Every minute or every hour we are watching/swiping/re-tweet yet another algorithmically selected piece of content is every minute or hour that we aren't spending with our kids, our parents, our friends or even with ourselves.

    ​

    And really, time is the only thing that ultimately matters. The Apple Watch makes me use my iPhone less. Maybe this is a problem that only I have, and maybe it's just me who can't stay away from my phone. Regardless, I really appreciate a device that gives me back my attention.

    ​

    Energy

    ​

    Through the years I have learnt that how much energy we have really comes down to three factors:

    1. Sleep

    2. Exercise

    3. Nutrition

    ​

    If exercise was a pill, it would be the most valuable drug on the market. There are near on countless studies out there that affirm how it improve _everything_ from mental health to longevity. You **know** that, and I am not here to beat the same drum. I'm not going to be _that guy_ who tells you how you need to do 15 minutes of yoga, "breathe" in between coffees and then do a 105 minute Rock-style workout.

    ​

    I'm very much more of a 'really little changes, repeated often' kind of guy. Behaviour change is hard. Really hard. Our habits are forged through years of unconscious, automatic actions.

    ​

    Where the Apple Watch excels is helping me take small steps every day which then nudge me into making better actions and decisions for my health. Yes, even those annoying 'stand now' notifications.

    ​

    Health is where I see Apple Watch having perhaps the biggest impact long term.

    ​

    I would like to share how I use my Apple Watch to:

    1. Sleep better

    2. Connect with my friends and family

    3. Get things done every day with a simple GTD (Getting Things Done) system

    4. Look after my mental health

    5. Build muscle after years of being the 'skinny kid'

    6. Run 5k

    7. Organise my day and ensure I don't forget important tasks

    8. Note my random thoughts and ideas through the day

    9. Listen to podcasts that entertain me through the chores of the day

    10. Take a break from technology

    11. Keep my online identity and passwords secure

    12. Track and build better habits

    Ultimately, I would like to make the case for why the Apple Watch is the greatest behavioural change device ever made. If anyone is interested in reading more I've written about it here

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 03:38 AM PDT

    First time owner, S4 SS Gold bought new from Amazon. After a long delivery I took it out of the box and looks like there’s no battery at all. Is this something I should worry? For now it’s only showing this screen

    Just upgraded...

    Just got upgraded from the 38mm series 3 to the 44mm series 5 space gray with the saddlebrown leather band. Used the series 3 just for the gym. A very nice upgrade i have to say. Will wear this one more often.

    Series 5 44mm on 5.5in wrist. Does this look too big?

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 05:45 AM PDT

    3rd day casually wearing it and already scratched. Apple+ Care doesn't allow this to be fixed?

    Posted: 03 Jun 2020 06:42 PM PDT

    You should know:

    Posted: 03 Jun 2020 11:09 PM PDT

    Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, tap Clock, then turn on Speak Time. Hold two fingers on the watch face to hear the time.

    APPLE WATCH DOESN'T PAIR ANYMORE

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 05:02 AM PDT

    After updating my iPhone to 13.5.1 I'm not able to pair the phone and the watch (Series 4). I read that this has been an issue for a lot of people and only for a stupid software thing.

    Since this morning I have an extremely expensive, but useless, bracelet.

    If you solved this thing please let me know, cause it is frustrating.

    Thanks.

    Is a series 5 a worthy upgrade from a series 3?

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 08:01 AM PDT

    It's a 42 mm and still working great. My main reason for wanting to upgrade is the more rounded and bigger display on the 44mm series 5. Always on display. I also like the new watch faces. I could get $100 for it if I traded it in, which isn't bad. Is it worth it though? Will there be any substantial difference in battery life?

    I see the series 6 will have some upgrades like native sleep tracking which would be great, so should I wait?

    Low Sleeping Heart Rate

    Heart rate monitor - is this normal? This is what I get at best. It seems to me to be completely useless.

    Apple Watch Activity Challenge Coming June 5 for World Environment Day

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 07:36 AM PDT

    I’m updated on both phone and watchOS and still do not have the 2020 pride faces.

    New features I want to see on the Apple Watch Series 6

    Posted: 04 Jun 2020 07:21 AM PDT

    I currently have a Series 3 with no desire to upgrade to a new watch because the newer features just don't impress enough to warrant an upgrade. Now add the following and I'm sold on an upgrade:

    1. Temperature monitoring
    2. Pulse oximeter
