Bringing back the "swipe to change watch face" option is the greatest achievement Apple has accomplished in a decade.

@crelliseng Ай бұрын

I’m actually really glad you have to long press first before activating the swipe to change watch face. My son randomly changed my watch face constantly. On top of that rustling in bed often accidentally changed the face. Now it never accidentally happens.

@elshaerr Ай бұрын

a lot of people never liked the "Swipe to Switch watch Face" I am really glad that apple gave us the choice to either disable it or enable not like in the pervious WatchOS

But that feature is broken now. Now watch faces for some reason always show the time 10 : 09 first, and only then the actual current time. Why? But yes, it is an absolutely necessary function, which I often use.

I just bought my first apple Watch , the ultra 2 , and I have a question ..I thought that it will be as smooth 120hz as my 14PM but sometimes it’s not so smooth and it opens the apps with a loading icon for 1-2 seconds ..is this normal for Apple Watches ?

@hunterbsmith Ай бұрын

One of my favorite Apple Watch tricks is to make a focus called “iPhone Locked” then set a shortcut to lock the iPhone screen when the focus is enabled. Then you can turn on the focus from your watch and lock your phone remotely if someone takes it out of your hand!

@caramel1114 Күн бұрын

This sounds cool. But how do you create the shortcut to lock the screen? I don’t see the option when trying to make the shortcut. Can you share the Shortcut perhaps?

@hunterbsmith Күн бұрын

@@caramel1114 I don’t think I can share it on KZfaq, but try creating an automation. There should be an option to run an automation when a focus is enabled. Then set the phone to lock whenever the focus is turned on.

I have the Apple Watch Ultra 1, and I’ve noticed that sometimes when I take my watch off the charger, the always on display somehow turns on automatically which is kinda strange so I’ll have to go into the settings and turn it off. But it has not been doing that lately.

I know things have advanced and apps are way better now. BUT, honestly I miss my Pebble watch. It was always on point with what I needed and notifications were always quick. Also, I think it was way better looking and I wasn't afraid to scratch or hit it up against anything. To be bad the company didn't last, as they were the true pioneers of the smartwatch I think.
