If I was in the wedding party, I’d wear my Tag Heuer. Anything else and I’ll switch to the leather link band most of the time.

how many iOS versions can I update on my phone till I can not connect the 2 devices?

Theoretically, forever. Each watchOS version requires a minimum iOS version (e.g., watchOS 10 requires iOS 17 as a minimum), but it doesn’t work that way in the reverse - iOS 17 should be able to pair with any watch going back to the original Apple Watch, as will iOS 18.

That said - people do occasionally have issues when pairing doesn’t happen. But it is supposed to work that way. Currently I use an Ultra but I have my backup Series 5 still on watchOS 9 but it remains paired with my 13 Pro running iOS 17.1.1 (I had to unpair both watches when I did a factory reset and restore of my phone last month and re-paired both watches just fine).

Anytime I have used a screen protector that had a lubricant spray (basically it is just water with a very small amount of soap/detergent) that was used to help place it correctly without bubbles I ALWAY sprayed on the screen protector (and my hand, to prevent sticking to my hand), NEVER NEVER NEVER on the device.

This person who did this should not do it that way.

You probably can’t complete your challenge anymore. If you have, say, a challenge that says “Get 75 exercise minutes for 14 days this month”, and you have done do only 6 times so far this month, and it is the 24th, then you don’t have enough days left to complete the challenge and the challenge disappears from your watch and fitness app.

You can adjust the sensitivity of AutoSleep if you don’t feel it’s reporting sleep data right. Tap the Settings icon in the dock at the bottom (on the iPhone app) and then tap “Sleep/Wake calibration”. It shows you how the sleep time would change with each of 10 different settings.

The stock sleep app says that I am asleep when I know that I am awake; AutoSleep seems to do a better job for me. There are times when it says that I was awake when I am pretty sure that I was not, but those times are pretty rare. I’ve been using the app for 6.5 years.

Fitness app, tap the workout, tap “show more” next to “Heart Rate” (or tap the graph itself.)

Ive been looking everywhere

Obviously not on this subreddit, because it has many posts just like this.

I suggest opening the Tips app and watch “What’s New in WatchOS 10”.

I also hate that my rings are no longer in one screen and I have to scroll three screens for all the information. Any way to change this?

No. (Though you can look at the info in the Fitness app or the Health app on the iPhone.)

Yes. I spent three years with the Series 2 constantly frustrated during running workouts when I would glance at the watch and see nothing - my “wrist raise” apparently wasn’t strong enough. Sometimes even exaggerated wrist raise didn’t work and I’d have to tap the display. I’ve had AOD since getting the Series 5. It’s a must-have feature for me.

I never start a workout but it always gives me almost every minute as green ring.

I think if Apple could offer heart attack as a warning to the watch, they would have done so long ago. I know that they warn you that Apple Watch cannot detect heart attack on two different screens when you start an ECG on a supported watch. Clearly Apple hasn’t been able to reliably detect heart attacks as an event with the watch.

Try switching to another watch face and then switch back. If that doesn’t help, try power off/power on. Sounds like a glitch/bug.

No, unfortunately you cannot customize notification sounds on the watch.

You can change the colors, the style of the time, whether it has seconds or not, whether it has ticks on the outside for seconds, elevation, or depth, and any of the complication slots. That is all you can modify.

It’s easily my favorite face these days. I think that it’s better than the old modular face.

Health app. Tap “Browse”, tap “Activity”, tap “Workouts”, tap “Add Data” top-right. You can enter in the details (basically just changed it Functional Strength Training, enter the times, enter the calories you think you burned.

Not sure if it will sync to the other apps, though.

I went from X to 13 Pro. I plan to get a 15 Pro in the spring.

I checked and found that I used the telephoto lens enough that I’d likely miss it with a non-pro phone. It’s as simple as that for me. I honestly don’t notice much difference with pro motion myself - if I could set it to 60 Hz always if it saved battery I’d be just fine.

One thing that bugs me about the 13 Pro vs the plain 13 is the weight in my pocket. So knowing that the 15 Pro will be better will be a big plus for me.
