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

Queres APP para ver stess e HRV? Paga. Queres coach dê corrida? Paga . Acabava por pagar mais de 20 euros pôr mês só por s

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

AWU to Instinct 3

I did exactly the same a few months ago. From AW8 to Instinct 3 Solar. For me, it has been a crazy game changer not having to worry about battery life all the time. Whenever Apple reaches 1 week of battery life, I will consider going back - but there's no hope for that as it is now. Their priorities

Should I upgrade to 26.1?

Stay away from it, 26 and above is really bad for apple watches. I have an Ultra 2 and it feels worse than my AW8 on the previous release.

Beta Testers Wanted! - PowerGlass – Intelligent Battery Analytics

OK, bloody apple. :-) Understand... See attached picture. To my eye, "25 HRS" does not fit very well with "MON-2". It is AW8, iOS 26.2.1.

Display randomly dimmed

Well approximately 19 out of 20 times it lights up in normal brightness but every now and then it comes up dimmed. Which is quite annoying because I have to turn the display off and on again. This is not my first Apple Watch that has this problem. It started with my AW4 and continued on my AW8. Not

Čo vás drží stále u značky Apple a naopak čo vás núti prejsť na Android?

Ja som ok s uplne vsetkym okrem hodiniek. Pred rokom som zacala behat, predtym som jazdila enduro, teraz cestak (na ten mam wahoo) a seriozne zvazujem prechod na Garminy. Mam AW8 a ano, ta vydrz baterie ma nici. Jedine, co ma odradza, je dalsi system. Pri Apple produktoch my vyhovuje ten ekosystem,
