Discussion cat dropkicked 2 month old watch off bathroom counter (+ many a cat tax)

I do not have AppleCare+ because I am a colossal idiot who thought I could baby it 24/7. I could only baby it 23/7. The 24th hour I took a shower and watched, in slow motion from behind the fogged glass, as she jumped up by the sink, made intentional, pointed eye contact, flicked out an orange foot, and walloped that shit directly into the tiled half-wall.

Are there any sub $250 fixes? Is it possible to find a screen repair or does the whole unit need to be replaced, essentially? Does anyone want a cat? Apple Watch 11. Female Maine Coon. Limited coverage until Aug. 27th. Cat is vaccinated.

edit: you can register a device to applecare+ up to 60 days after its purchase - it has been exactly 61 days since i purchased the watch. FORTUNATELY, i could get applecare+ coverage for my new replacement airpod pros, select the multi-device plan, and add my watch from there. thank you everyone!!

Been in Singapore the last weeks and got myself the new AW12 and the braided solo loop for a very good price. I had a AW7 before and I am so happy about the upgrade. The battery life is incredible!

I put on a screen protector and it does its job pretty well!

On my brand new Apple Watch Ultra 4. Just incredible.

This used to be one of the main things I used my Apple Watch for. Now it can no longer set timers by voice.

Discussion Is it just me, or does your Apple Watch wrist temperature tracking randomly skip days or even weeks?

4 Upvotes

Hi! Is anyone else experiencing this? My Apple Watch sometimes goes days or even weeks without recording my wrist temperature during sleep.

I don’t use a case or any third-party straps, and my watch is already almost too tight on my wrist (not uncomfortably tight, of course), but it still skips temperature readings for some nights.

I actually love this feature! There was one time when I noticed my wrist temperature gradually increasing over several nights, and then BAM, I got a fever! HAHAHA. 😂

I know wrist temperature tracking isn’t meant to diagnose an illness or predict exactly when you’re going to get sick, but I find it helpful for noticing changes in my body and getting a little heads-up that I might be coming down with something.

It’s just frustrating when the data randomly goes missing, especially when I’m wearing my watch consistently and making sure it fits properly.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal behavior, or could there be something wrong with my watch or the way it collects temperature data? I’d love to hear your experiences!

Edit: currently using watch 11, didn’t have this issue with my watch 10 (though it skips a day or two but not a full week)

My Watch Just have to give a shout for amazing hardware. Series 4 still going strong.

Granted no updates, but all apps seem to work fine and after an 18 hour day, I still have 25% battery left on average. Kudos.

OK I’m stupid. Every time I pick up my iPhone it stops me in my tracks by informing me it’s been unlocked by my watch. How to stop this?

Pensé mucho en conseguir la de 46 mm ya que venía de un SE 1 de 44 mm pero sentía que estaba muy grande para mi muñeca, no quería sentir que me quedaría muy pequeña una pantalla de 42mm hasta que comparé el tamaño de pantalla, prácticamente un 44mm tiene el mismo tamaño de uno de 42mm, la mejor decisión

Discussion Inconsistent training load/readiness score between watchOS and iOS

Post image
4 Upvotes

I’m quite new to this. I’m on my very first Apple Watch (Ultra 4) and I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding something or doing something wrong, but the training load and readiness data doesn’t match with my iPhone 17PM for a few weeks now.

Everything from the left is on my Apple Watch, everything on the right is on my iPhone. Both of them are on version 27.2 though problems started with the previous version already.

On my Apple Watch “all workouts” show +21%/iPhone shows 0%. Running on Apple Watch +67%/ iPhone +32%.

Readiness on Apple Watch is 5, on my iPhone it’s 7.

I feel like everything is more accurate on my Apple Watch but I don’t get why it’s different on my iPhone. Couldn’t find many answers online.

WatchOS Apple Watch Ultra OS 27.2 update stuck on verifying

Post image
• Upvotes

Seen a few posts like this but they’re all real old so thought I’d ask fresh. Basically what it says, the app says there’s an update but when I try it’s stuck on verifying. Been like that for 3 days and nothing fixes it. Tried restarting both my phone (iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 27.2) and watch, updated my phone, couldn’t find how to delete the update file, nothing worked and it’s making me mad. Any help?

Support Watch sensor count.

• Upvotes

Hi everyone

I have a AW S12 and I think the sensor module might be broken or faulty.
In just general wear only seem to have one green LED flashing to measure HR.
When I am running a workout or activity it goes up to two green LEDs.

The marketing materials seem to show a lot more than that and I wanted to get a gauge on what everyone else is seeing on their own?

I think mine only has 50% of the sensors working.

Hola gente! Acá usuario de series 10. Lo compré en agosto del 2025. Durante bastante tiempo estuvo estable en 100 de condición pero cuando empezó a bajar no paro. En el último mes, bajó como 4 seguido y actualmente estoy en 90% de condición y hace unos días tenía 91

Es normal? Como vienen ustedes?
Según soporte de Apple tiene 280 ciclos mi Watch.

After downloading and installing the new Apple WatchOS 27.2 on my Ultra 4, I can now say that Siri AI works as I expected it to. It’s extremely fast in terms of the response now, and it no longer just stops listening when I try to give a request. Thank you so much, Apple!

WatchOS Handwashing Timer is Gone

571 Upvotes

I picked up my Apple Watch Ultra 4 this weekend and I was surprised that Apple has removed the handwashing feature from the Series 12 and the Ultra 4. It’s still available on every other watch that runs the current WatchOS, but not the two newest. I’m sure it wasn’t the most popular feature, but I used it all day long and it was such a nice quality of life feature. I sent feedback through the portal to Apple. If you want to as well, I attached the link to this post. Here’s to hoping they bring it back.

Support Series 9 bricked after IOS update. Thoughts and Next Steps.

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I own an Apple Watch Series 9, and it got bricked due to an IOS update on watch OS 11.5. I don't know what happened but now it just bootloops forever, and doesn't turn on. I put it in recovery mode and it seems to stop at the same 3/4 full circle every time. [Tried it a couple times]. This has been going on for a while, and I have been attempting to fix it. However, I have fully given up on trying to fix it myself over these past few weeks and wanted to seek advice on the next steps.

I honestly have tried everything from draining the battery, to putting it into recovery mode etc, but nope same boot loop. Is there anyway I could trade this in for another apple watch, or is this just one of those situations where you can't do anything. I should also state that unfortunately I don't have apple care lol.

I checked with gemeni and it stated that the battery could be swollen idk tho not a technician or anything, just using my resources. Please ask me any questions to clarify.
