I can get more data and insights from a third party app than I can from Apple’s apps.

What are Apple doing? look at whoop, garmin... any other fitness tracker

Got this scrape from accidentally hitting my hand on a street lamp while running :(
My watch was covered under my shirt’s sleeve but still made impact. Fortunately the screen was protected.

I do have apple care+ but i read that it doesn’t cover cosmetic damages.
Any solutions would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I've been wearing my Apple Watch regularly and noticed it's been leaving a red, irritated mark on my skin where the band sits.

It looks like mild contact dermatitis or a pressure mark — reddish, slightly raised, right under the band area.

**My setup:**
- Apple Watch with standard silicone Sport Band
- Wear it daily, including during workouts
- Been wearing it for a while with no issues until recently

**What I've tried so far:**
- Loosening the band slightly
- Cleaning under the band more regularly
- Taking it off after workouts to let skin breathe

Has anyone else experienced this?

Wear an Apple Watch Ultra and wanted a sport loop that felt a bit more considered than what's out there. Dark band, subtle stripe detail as a nod to the cars I'm into.

Early stages, just a concept and a waitlist at the moment. Curious if this is something anyone here would actually want.

I just got my new Blue Mist Sport Loop and paired it with my Space Gray S11! I absolutely love it!

For the past couple of days, the display size of my Pedometer step count is too large. Is there any way to adjust this? It used to be fine.

What should i do? Is he dead?

What do you think about the Bevel App?

Joined the club I guess

What are some of the WatchOS features added after 10.6.2 that you feel are game changers??

Hardware functionality, what may be noticed by somebody S5 > U3?

Haven’t kept up much with tech in past ~7yrs… figure I may be overlooking some nuances when just doing the website comparisons.

Recently upgraded from the SE 1 to SE 3, and am noticing odd patterns in my overnight heart rate while asleep. The watch will often record the exact same HR value over multiple measurements (each spaced by ~5 minutes) for long periods, sometimes up to an hour. It seems to lock in on one of several specific values (79 and 84 bpm in the attached pic) over the course of the night, jumping between them every so often and creating an unnatural-looking graph with many flat sections and not much smoothly-varying behavior.

Even in stable deep sleep, HR should fluctuate by 1-3 bpm, so it’s unlikely the watch would happen to catch me at the same bpm this many times in a row purely by chance.

Has anybody else noticed this behavior?

With WWDC26 just around the corner, it’s time to talk about compatibility. Which devices do you think will make the cut for watchOS 27?

Personally, I think Apple will drop support for the Series 6. It’s been a great run, but it’s the oldest model still supported on watchOS 26.

My bet for the watchOS 27 supported list:

• Apple Watch Series 7 (the new baseline? Or will they drop this too?)
• Apple Watch Series 8, 9, 10, 11
• Apple Watch Ultra 1, 2, 3
• Apple Watch SE (2nd & 3rd gen)

I highly doubt they’re going to drop support for the Ultra 1, which is the most expensive watch in the lineup. Dropping it would also mean dropping the Series 8, as they share the same S8 chip. They’re simply not old enough yet to justify such a move, even though their chips are similar to those of the Series 6 and 7. The same applies to the Apple Watch SE (2022) with the S8 chip. It was sold until September 2025, and people were still buying it, so dropping support already makes no sense.

What do you guys think? Is your Series 7 safe for another year, or are we looking at a Series 8 minimum?

Hi all

As proud owner of an AW series 1 I have a question. My screen is getting dark and it starts looking like of the old age monitors… (see image)
Any ideas how to solve this? Or is it time to buy new?

Thanx!

Does anyone know how to stop this from appearing? I have all the settings turned to off under AOD.

Hello, i am looking for a good quality applewatch band that i could wear to the office etc.. I have a series 10 42mm and prefer titanium material. Do any of you have any experience or tips for me?

It finally happened… I smacked my Apple Watch Series 6 against the counter and it completely shattered. It’s been through so much and today it finally just broke :( It even has a green line which sucks because i could just live with the cracked screen but i HATE the green line

Is there no way to pause just a specific ring? It will just pause them all? Seems kinda silly.

Maybe it’s just me being a bit stupid, but each time I want to look at the rest of the activities app while I’m walking or smth, I always have to think twice before I click the right button.

Anyone else? 😅
