“iPhone Out of Date” can’t pair brand new Apple Watch S9

Update I’ve spoken to Apple Support who couldn’t diagnose the issue. They have scheduled a returns box for me to send them the watch so they can update it to a later firmware on the off chance that the watch firmware is too low to be able to pair with my phone’s iOS version. I find this highly unlik

Precision Finding on Apple Watch Doesn't Work With the Original AirTag

Ultra Wide Band has been included in: AirTag 1 and later iPhone 11 and later Apple Watch 9 and later Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later iPhone 15 and up and now AirTag 2 has the U2 chip for even more precise finding. But there is no technical reason why for example an AW9 could not locate an AT1 with the

“iPhone Out of Date” can’t pair brand new Apple Watch S9

You sure the watch you bought was indeed new? Seems like the watch was probably on watchOS 26 beta. Also odd for you to find a brand new Series 9 model when the Series 11 is just around the corner. You got a few solutions: Update your iPhone to iOS 26, then try again. iOS 26 is currently a Release C

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

Please Help! Looking to convert to Garmin (from Apple Watch) on a budget and have some key questions about the Instinct 2 Standard Edition

One thing to test against the Apple Watch, if it still works, is the sensors. That’s the one downfall with my instinct 1. Its sensor constantly reads 20-25 high on the hear rate. And, not that they’re accurate, but more steps than my Apple Watch. I really want the instinct 3 because I can get an AMA

Got a Nomad strap at a discount. I like the feel and how it holds onto my wrist. Thought?

Good to know! I’ll be keeping my eye on this one. I lost my first AW9 because I was untangle a rope underwater and the clasp got pulled open and it fell off into a lake and that was with the original Apple band. I worry about aftermarket bands just wearing out and this one falling off.

Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2 / Music Control

If you wear an Apple Watch while riding and have music control (Spotify, Apple Music) enabled, this will often interfere with music control on your Wahoo device. I was able to get everything working (for now, at least) by turning off Spotify control on my AW9.

Upgraded today from a series 6 to ultra 3. Totally worth it, it’s amazing.

I have the series 9 which I just bought at the end of 2024 so had it for about a year now. This might be the worst Apple Watch I’ve owned (also had the series 3 awhile back and the series 7) this one continuously failing to work properly. At about the half year mark, the watch stopped syncing with m
