Stupid question but if you have the watch on at home and the phone is in another room or out of range or we does it use WiFi to stay connected?

I just checked the settings and it does look like the phone is connected to the same network on the wifi settings. I thought it was just connected to the phone via bluetooth but it makes sense that it connects to the same wifi if it can.

Stupid question but is there any way to stop the screen from locking itself when I'm using the stopwatch. I started doing weights again and I used to just use the stopwatch on my gshock to time between sets. The apple watch seems lock the screen as soon as Iook away from it.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Are you using an app to track your lifts? Strong is a really good one and you can customize rest periods between sets and it'll give you a ding when it's time to go again. Nope, I never really thought of that. To be fair I bought the watch because I was doing a lot more walking and cycling while all the gyms were closed. I just used the built in workout thingies, I'm suprised they havent done a built in thing for weights.

I didn't even know there was a built in one lol It's funny because the cardio stuff seems to register way lower than what the actual machine registers. Heart rate seems to be identical though

Is the apple watch supposed to do that optimised charging thing like the phone does sometimes? I’ve noticed my watch has been on charge for more than 7 hours but the battery is still only at 84% it’s done this a couple of times recently but I can’t tell if it’s a fault or it’s just holding the charge like I’ve seen my phone do sometimes? But I’m also a weirdo who only uses my watch when I exercise and I’ll sometimes turn the thing off if I’m not going to use it so idk. It’s a series 6 edit: ffs no never mind after reseating the usb cable it’s charged to 89 already. I’ve got it plugged into this belkin surge protector that has a couple of usb ports track day bro! fucked around with this message at 01:13 on May 2, 2022 |

I think I got my S6 when it released and it's on 97% but i'm a weirdo who turns the watch off on days when I don't use it. I bought my mum an S7 to replace her S3 from I think 2016? That was on 83% and i'm pretty sure she used it every day.

Has anyone else lost the little dealie at the top of the screen for the now playing thingy in watch os9? Before if I was listening to something that little icon would be at the top of the screen. So I could just tap it and turn the volume down or pause but now it’s just disappeared completely.

How accurate does the measurements for the braided solo loop need to be. I used a tape measure on my wrist, luckily it’s super obvious where my watch goes because theres a big pale mark from wearing the watch.

Hmm that does look like it matches up as using a measuring tape it comes up as a 7. Which matches where I'd put it on the sport band. So I guess I should go for a 6 as with the sport band I can go one notch less but it's just slightly less comfortable.

I just realised that I actually might be able to go to one on the weekend, as I’m actually gonna be in the centre of town for the first time in a few years.

I ended up going with the solo loop one size down and it fits great. A little bit tighter than how I’d have the strap but after a while I don’t notice it. Also I guess I shouldn’t work out with this as it feels like its going to get all horrible with sweat. Does anything wear out if you switch bands? My old watch I just had the same sport strap on all the time and it was pretty easy to clean.

Jose Oquendo posted:It depends on the device. Do it over the phone and play dumb. Don't mention any dents or scratches. If you can still add AppleCare they'll run a diagnostic to make sure the device isn't already broken. If it passes, you can add it. I mean the thing still works perfectly fine, it’s just got an ugly looking ding near the corner of the screen. It’s purely cosmetic but it’s kinda annoying as somehow I kept my last one in perfect condition. It does look like I’ve got 30 days left to buy anyway. It says that accidental damage with apple care is like 50 on top of the cost for apple care. But an out of warranty repair is like 300 so I guess thats better and then if I do something stupid again I it’s only 50. I’ve not bought applecare on anything since my old Macbook in 2015 because it was like the most expensive laptop I’d purchased at the time. Also I never ended up using it. track day bro! fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Oct 13, 2022 |

MrBond posted:Does anyone actually get value out of applecare+ for the watch? I kinda like the accidental damage aspect of it in theory but I also haven't ever broken one yet. I did after I dropped my brand new series 8 first in the gym and then second after taking it off going through airport security. I got a brand new replacement device the morning after doing the service request. Although it took a good while after the broken device arrived at apple for them to remove the 400 something hold off my card. I wish I was somehow not the worlds most clumsy person who manages to drop all these expensive things on the floor.

Fedule posted:Question for the cross section of this thread that's also into Ring Fit Adventure, Nintendo's experiment in tricking gamers into exercising; I had the same issue during the pandemic, but I just went back to the gym. I used to pick one of the mixed options but tbf I didn't really care about it accurately tracking stuff as I was using the watch more for cycling and walking.
