Apple care+

So, im going to say no, hear me out im about to contradict myself, I have had it on a ultra 1, ultra 3, wife's had it on a series 7, series 9 and a series 10. None of them have gone wrong, my thinking was, it's going to cost £100 to get the battery replaced in the future, and this is free with apple

Apple Watch (+ iPhone) for my Grandma - Any input from ya'll?

I am at 78-year-old who is also into technology. I’ve had an iPhone, an iPad, and a PC for years, but I only recently became interested in getting an Apple Watch, and I am super happy with it, far more than I imagined I would be. I bought a used series 9 with 100% battery health, and it’s been great

Balance 2 - Review after (almost) a week

The display is one of the most power hungry things on a watch, so having it be always on will absolutely obliterate your battery. It doesn’t matter which watch you have. Even my Apple Watch (series 9), which maybe lasts 2 days in regular circumstances, will last under a day with AOD. I’ve got the Am

CGM reading to watch has been a huge quality of life improvement

Good that you are promoting this as it minimizes or eliminates one of the stressors of t1d life. This feature has been available for years with Apple Watch via iPhone even though it's not a direct Bluetooth connection between sensor and watch. I've been doing it since 2016 with Apple Watch Series 2,

Watch S9 drains battery in 4 hours, battery health 100%

I cannot prove it but I 100% believe there’s an issue with certain pro models and watches. I have 17 pro max with a brand new Ultra 3 and it lasts like 12 hours. My wife also brand new 17 pro max, with brand new series 11 hers lasts 3 hours. We both came from series 9 where we had zero issues with b

Apple Watch Series 11 vs Series 9 (or 10). Has anyone recently switched?

I’m not enabling or using any specific location settings. But I think GPS is built-in and I keep cellular turned on. I currently don’t mess WiFi settings. It’s always on my wrist and when I have a a break at work, I’ll do my 1–2 run during the workday only tapping the outdoor run workout. So, I have

Apple Watch or Garmin? My  watches (s5 s6) are too old now I guess, loading the app takes forever, if I were to upgrade which path would you recommend?

I have a S5 too. I forgot to sync apple health on the watch too. You have to give it permissions there too via the app settings in the watch app. I really like my Apple Watch. If I were to upgrade I’d either go with the Series 9 (saves money + has most of the cool and important new features) or with

considering replacing battery

When I had the 7, felt like it was a decent all rounder. Charging was faster vs 6. Had all the necessary features like fall detection and good enough sensors. So if it still runs smoothly on full battery and you’re cool w using it for 3 more years, battery replacement is a great option. On the other

Apple Watch Recommendation (SE 3 or Series 11)?

My wife upgraded from her 3 year old smaller SE2 to smaller SE3 last fall. She has seen about 50% more battery life with same usage. If you increase activity or other battery drains like more frequent use of maps, battery life will decrease. My AW9, 17 months old, 89% battery capacity, tracks outdoo
