Missing Watch complications after updating to watchos26

Looks like a buggy release from Apple. Both my AW8 and AWU1 watches display the correct complications. But within the phone’s watch app, they aren’t showing under preview

Apple Watch 11 + Coros Oberarm Pulsmesser. Wegen Akkulaufzeit der Watch braucht man sich keine Gedanken machen. Selbst mit meiner AW8 konnte ich Marathon laufen und hatte noch genug Akku übrig. Hab lange Zeit den polar H10 Brustgurt genutzt allerdings immer wieder mit Aussetzer zu kämpfen gehabt und

Does the band locking mechanism wear down?

I´ve had Apple Watches since 2016 (AW2, AW5, AW8, and now AW11). Never had any issues with wearing of the locking mechanism whatsoever. More than 20 bands, Apple and non-Apple.

Will the Apple Watch series 12 get a new chipset?

I think yes. Current s9-10 based on tsmc N4 and shares same architecture with a16 bionic, which was bad i think especially in power efficiency. And s12 will be based on a19 probably, which is very good in terms of efficiency and have much faster e-cores (which are used in apple watch), 70% faster GP

Polar, still Polar in 2026

I’ve used a wide range of polar devices (starting with the M21 or M51, FT80, Vantage V and many many more). I have used three of their platforms. At first their desktop software (Polar precision performance ?, I remember It had lots of analysis options, but a looong time ago), then personal trainer

Well this is great news!

Why does it matter? Remember iphone 6 couldn't get a long press like 6s because lack of some hardware under the screen, but 5C or SE equivalent got it even without the hardware underneath? If UW1 can read it before the parent turned off, it should be able to do it now as well right? Anyway, I know t

AWU3 with Milanese band in black

My new AWU3 is in black as well…coming from a black AW8. Definitely more grey*, but I like it. Can’t comment on the scratch nature yet, although the Apple Store employee at pickup yesterday I was chatting with while waiting for the watch to be brought out appeared surprised at how “good” my AW8 look
