Switching from a Fitbit? Things to know + app suggestions Posted: 29 Jun 2021 06:03 AM PDT Hope this post helps give any people switching over to an AW from Fitbit, or thinking about it, the information they need to set their expectations and make the transition easier! (It's totally worth it.) -- Things you should probably know:
That all said, there's obviously loads an Apple Watch can do that a Fitbit (or Garmin) can't do... but you already knew that or you probably wouldn't be considering it to begin with. :) -- Apps I use and suggest The paid apps on this list are all a one-time payment instead of a subscription model, because that's what I prefer. I focused on fitness/health apps which are similar to the Fitbit features I missed. For getting used to that damn battery life: Battery Grapher - $1.99
For seeing your weekly health targets on your watch face: Streaks - $4.99
For seeing your heart rate on your watch face: Heart Rate - stock Watch OS app
For seeing your workout heart rate divided into zones: Heart Analyzer - Free, with Premium unlock at $4.99 also Healthfit - $3.99
For sleep tracking/analysis: Autosleep - $3.99
For circuit/workout timers: Seconds - Free, with Pro version at $4.99
For if you're jealous of your Garmin-owning friend's Body Battery stat: Training Today - Free, with unlock of all features at $2.99
For... well, it's just super useful: Shortcuts - stock iOS/Watch OS app
Other nice to have fitness apps: Nike Training Club is totally free and shows your heart rate on screen during video workouts; FitOn shows heart rate and calorie burn but I'm not sure if it's on the free version. Zombies, Run! is a great app I've been supporting for years and one I think makes running/walking way more interesting. -- Misc. settings for better battery life For reference, I'm using a 40mm SE GPS. It's been ~21 hours since my last full charge, and its at 55% (with 1 night of sleep tracked and 30+ minutes of workout time). I never put my watch on airplane mode, but my phone is always nearby so it's in Bluetooth range. I realize I could probably eke out more hours by turning off stuff like Raise to wake and Stand reminders and more of my notifs, not using the watch for workout HR/sleep tracking, simpler watch faces etc. but those would defeat the purpose of this watch for my needs so I don't want to do all that. 🤷🏻♀️ My advice is to only change whatever is "painless" and not let your device's battery boss you around!

New International Bands collection Posted: 29 Jun 2021 07:59 AM PDT Apple just released 22 new sport loops to represent various countries for the Olympics. [link] [comments] | ||
Apple Announces New Sport Loop Bands Representing Flags From 22 Countries (apple.com) Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:01 AM PDT FYI - Now available to order for $49 USD from apple.com. Submitted as a link hours ago but mods are sleeping. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 29 Jun 2021 11:15 AM PDT I never really paid much attention to storage space on my Apple Watches over the years, but I recently started jogging, and figured it would be nice to leave my phone at home, so I started picking some music and podcasts to load directly onto my watch. I mean, hey, I've got 32 gb of storage (minus the system and apps). Of course, that's when I discovered Apple's maddeningly arbitrary limitation on how much storage can be used for "media" (I believe it's 25% of the total storage space). So, despite having over 21gb of free space on my watch, I'm unable to load an additional 6gb playlist onto it because I would be "out of media storage." I get the idea of not allowing the user to consume every last little smidgen of space, so that the watch has some elbow room to function, and I can even understand reserving some space for the OS update process. But there is absolutely no logic in fencing off such a HUGE amount of space and making it unavailable for the user. I love my watch, and I think Apple generally makes great products, but some decisions are baffling. [link] [comments] | ||
Does the Apple watch series 6 have ECG, Heart rate and OX sensor working in Canada? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 12:36 PM PDT In my pursuit of which watch to buy from different companies ive found some companies like samsung galaxy 3 dont have the ecg enabled for canada so i cant get that one. Im also looking at fitbit sense. However, what i need to know from you fine folks is... Does the ECG, heart rate and ox all work for canadians and if i was to get one and visit europe or usa would it work there too? [link] [comments] | ||

Why hasn’t apple added this feature yet???? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:11 AM PDT Why in the world hasnt apple added the feature of mass deleting messages on the apple watch yet? Its titillating that you have to manually delete each thread one by one. It mirrors the iphone seamlessly with settings and other things but cant mirror it with that. Or even give us the option to mass delete. Its so annoying. I feel like its not that hard to add that. Ive been wanting it since my Series 1 days. 🙄🙄🙄 Okay im done ranting. [link] [comments] | ||

What is better, fluoelastomer or sport loops? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:05 AM PDT Hi guys, like title says I would like to know which one of these bands are better in fitness and cleaning domains? I know that nike sport bands right are really easy to clean up and I wanted to know if sport loop bands owners clean up their bands as well as a fluoelastomer one. And if they are comfortable to wear? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 29 Jun 2021 12:09 PM PDT Hey all, I have a 40mm SE, and I'd like to get a braided solo loop (third party is fine, I don't care). The problem is, I measure a size 10 with Apple's tool, which only comes in 44mm size - the biggest size I can get for the 40mm is size 9. Any suggestions for an extra long third-party braided solo loop that will fit a big wrist and the 40mm watch? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
Red exclamation mark of death on Apple Watch - is this fixable? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 05:58 AM PDT I have a series 3 that was a gift in March 2018 - definitely some sentimental attachment. Went to update the software this weekend - screen froze halfway through the update. Googled it and told to restart the watch - however after restarting got a red exclamation mark ❗️ and it no longer works. Took it to the Apple store - was told essentially this is a software issue and I need to send it to Apple. The employee wasn't sure if it would be free - but told me they've had this issue with the series 3 before and it should be free if I talk to Apple support. However he couldn't guarantee they could fix it. Two questions: 1) anyone else have this issue and get their watch successfully fixed?? 2) if they can't fix it will they send it back to me? As it was a gift with sentimental value I'd really like to keep it even if it's broken? Feeling very naked with out my watch! [link] [comments] | ||
Can I run a timer during a workout without interrupting the workout? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 11:55 AM PDT My new watch is on its way and I plan on implementing cardioacceleration into my strength training routines once I have it to time the cardio in between sets. Is this going to be possible? I'm hoping to be able to start a strength training workout and then use the timer app to time the cardio without interrupting the workout. [link] [comments] | ||
What is up with the Watch occasionally locking on wrist? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 11:18 AM PDT As the title says I have occasional issues with it locking even if it is on my wrist. Now before I came here I of course googled the hell out of this, tried resetting, tried re-pairing, tried tighter wrist band, wrist detection is enabled and so on. But nothing seems to work and it is still locking once, maybe twice a day or even more, if it is a bad day. Is there anything else out there that is not websearchable and I can try or is it just a faulty unit? Am I missing something here? Apple Watch SE btw, purchased end of April this year.

Currently have an Apple Watch s3 and am looking to upgrade Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:48 AM PDT Ive had my series 3 for about a year and a half now and would like a newer one. I was wondering if it was worth buying the s6 or if i would be just as well off buying a used s5. I really want the always on display and that's the only reason I'm not considering an s4.

switching from fitbit to apple watch Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:45 AM PDT Is either of these watches medical grade? I have chronic illnesses and possible PoTS and i'm wondering if I should switch. whenever I move my arm with the fitbit it thinks im working out so i dont think it works well? wondering if anyone else with dysautonomia prefers apple? i also want to switch for cellular options [link] [comments] | ||
Apple watch activity competition bug Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:39 AM PDT Hi, So i started this activity competition with a friend when I got my first watch back in January this year. We weren't planning to really go for the competition, and decided after a day or so to quit the competition. But since then I have this bug that the contact is duplicated in my friends list, and that the competition itself never ended. It always says "Starting (null)" and no points are given since we quit in January. I tried to unshare my activity, delete contact and re-add, but nothing works. After 30 minutes to an hour, the contact is duplicated, and the competition is back on top of my sharing list. How can I fix this annoying bug? Does anybody have experienced this before?

Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:01 AM PDT Is it possible to change the entire face/background of the face to any other color besides black? I'm only seeing the option for color as "circle" or "dial". Got a brown leather band and the black watch face looks like shit with it. [link] [comments] | ||
Apple Watch recording heart rate when not wearing? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 05:22 AM PDT My Apple Watch has been recording my heart rate at night when I take it off and it is showing my heart rate as being extremely high and throwing off my resting heart rate? I took it off last night and it started recording my heart rate almost 2 hours later and is showing a resting heart rate of 153. Has this happened to anyone else? [link] [comments] | ||
Is there an app that can remind you to do push-ups when inactive? (Kind of like the Stands app) Posted: 29 Jun 2021 02:52 AM PDT | ||
Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:49 AM PDT Anybody use the Siri face lately? I have not used it in forever and decided to put it on today. Though I'm having issues with 3rd party apps not displaying their data… it seems to only be Apple stock apps that keep appearing. I expected Things 3 and fantastical to come up at least. I do have the third party sources settings turned on. I've also done the unpair/repair routine but still nothing! Any ideas? [link] [comments] | ||
Is the series 6 right for a first time buyer? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 07:57 AM PDT I've never owned an apple watch but I recently upgraded to an iPhone and discovered that apple has a good financing deal on the watches at the minute. So I guess my question is, is the series 6 watch worth it? [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 29 Jun 2021 07:57 AM PDT The watch was purchased at Best Buy, so that's why I didn't choose my band during the purchase. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 29 Jun 2021 07:49 AM PDT I've updated my series 5 to WatchOS 8.0 and the assistive touch setting's not appearing. I have my iphone updated to ios 15 aswell. [link] [comments] |
