One thing about Keyboard vs Scribble pad. I find that it's actually easier to use swipe on the Watch keyboard over the scribble pad. You don't need to press individual letters on the keyboard. It's faster and take better advantage of the auto correct.

One tip I recommend is enabling assistive touch in accessibility. Then toggle on Hand gestures, which allow you to turn on Quick Actions (when assistive touch is enabled). These are handy single hand gestures you can use to dismiss notifications, pause music, or sleep the display all by pinching your fingers or clenching your palm. They even work in water proof mode for the times you don’t want the screen touches enabled

Good going, again. I'm so new to AW that I'll have to learn where to find Face Time. As for calculating restaurant expenses, our Italian version of Watch OS uses the percent sign instead of tip. Even simpler might be to calculate the bill, say 145 decide on the percentage, say 10 percent and multiply the total by 145X 1,10 (I think it would be 1.10 in GB, if I'm not mistaken) then divide by the number of participants.

This works on iPhone or iMac but I do not see that option on the watch … any idea? To note, I sort my library as follows: I prefix the composers of pop music with a ‘z’ (to have them at the bottom of the composers list) and similarly prefix the artists of classical music with a ‘z’ (to have them at the bottom of the artists list). Thus, my question.

Does anybody have any ideas as to why the Charging Reminders option would not work? I have the feature turned on for my wife’s watch (version 9) and phone (2nd gen SE) and it works fine. However, the same settings in my combination (Watch version 8 and iPhone 13 Pro) never seems to show the notification that the watch is fully charged. All scenarios have the latest updated software. I have reviewed countless videos about setting this up, but nobody seems to make note of any issues that can occur. I am guessing there is just some sort software glitch or combination of settings that I have that is preventing this option from working properly. I am a software developer (PC) so troubleshooting problems like this is also what I do, so all of the obvious choices have been verified. Just thought I would throw this out there in case someone else has encountered this problem. Thanks

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Could you clarify? Also, when I ride my bike, my bent wrist was often hitting the side button or the digital crown, which I didn't like. I solved this problem by turning the watch upside down. Now, my action button is near my wrist but since it's recessed, I never accidentally hit it. You can also alter the settings so the watch knows you're wearing it upside down and displays everything correctly. Just choose Left Wrist / Crown on Left.
