Apple Watch @lemmy.world jamhmgenau @feddit.org How do you clean your fabric watch bands?
I clean mine with warm water, hand soap and a small nailbrush, getting about 80% of the dirt off. But I’d like to have them spotlessly clean, as in 95%. Is this possible? What methods do ye use?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world jamhmgenau @feddit.org What was going on here?
My watch started vibrating and I noticed this spacy animation. It disappeared after about 15-20 seconds. This happened while sitting on the couch doing nothing. My iPhone was about a meter away. My SO sitting next to me, also about a meter away.

Apple Watch @lemmy.world root @lemmy.world Lots of awake events
I just got an Apple watch S10. Before this I was using a Garmin with the Apple health app to get some insights into sleep, calories burned per day (the outer ring) etc.
Compared to the Garmin, my Apple Watch is showing a lot of awake events, even though me and my SO don't notice me waking up. Is the Apple Watch just way more sensitive? Is it catching every movement in the night and thinking that is me being awake?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world jamhmgenau @feddit.org Camera app use cases?
What are your use cases when using this feature of your Apple Watch? I have the feeling I’m missing out on something. Sure, I use it occasionally for taking group pictures. But that’s about it. But I have the feeling, there are more opportunities for using this feature. What are yours?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world wellnowletssee @sh.itjust.works Walkie talkie. Do you use it?
I’ve tried it with my SO during a visit to IKEA. So when we were apart for a few minutes I was able to give an update where I am or what was interesting so look at. But in public I found it rather awkward others listening to our conversation. And now I can’t think of other use cases. So how, when, where and with whom do you use this function?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world Hux @lemmy.ml No Home App after OS 10 Update: Series 4
I wear my Stainless Steel Series 4 to bed. After updating to watch OS 10, I noticed it would not accept Siri commands for my HomeKit accessories.
I only wear it to bed, so I just chalked it up to an early bug and ignored it.
After loading each update between 10.0 and 10.1, the issue has persisted.
When opening the Home app on the the watch, it would just show the clean energy info at the top of the display and at the bottom it would indicate I haven’t set up any home accessories (I have tons, and they all work on my Ultra Watch and all other devices).
So, I decided to erase all content and setting and set up as new.
Now, the Home app isn’t even installed on the Watch, and does not appear in the list of apps in the Watch app on my phone.
I didn’t notice anything about HomeKit or Home app support being discontinued or unsupported in Watch OS 10 on older models.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world Fester @lemm.ee Anyone experiencing random crash/restarts? (Series 9)
This has been happening the past few weeks. I’ll look at my watch and see that it’s locked even though I haven’t taken it off, and sometimes I’ll catch it on the logo screen restarting.
I can’t seem to find any rhyme or reason for it. My wife has a series 7 on OS 10 and isn’t having this problem.
Anyone else having this issue on series 9 or other watch?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world schmurnan @lemmy.world Square icon on Mail notifications instead of circular?
I'm pretty sure this has happened to me several times over the years, but it hasn't happened for a while so I can't remember the fix.
But for some reason, the notifications for Mail on my Apple Watch are square instead of circular. As you know, circular notifications are interactive and can be replied to, actioned, etc. whereas square ones are literally notifications and you can't do anything with them.
Any ideas how to fix?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world pelley @lemmy.world WatchOS 10.0.1 adds colors to Snoopy face?
When I first used the Snoopy face with 10.0 it always had a gray background. Now with 10.0.1 I get random colors. Is this new? Looks great!

www.apple.com watchOS 11watchOS 11 helps you better understand your daily health status using your overnight vitals and shows you how workouts impact your body over time.
What are your thoughts on the new watchOS 10? So far it seems OK to me, but I am missing the edge-to-edge screen swiping to change watch faces, why was this removed?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world Purgatoryemployee @lemmy.world disconnect AW ultra from iphone?
I’ve been using my Apple Watch ultra and I’ve been loving it for a few months. I love going for runs without my phone on me. I only have one dread; when I need to go for a run without my phone, I can’t disconnect my iPhone from my watch and use the LTE I’m paying for unless I turn off my phone or I go far enough away from the phone. When I play music on my watch, the music gets choppy cuz it’s losing phone connection. Any idea of how to disconnect the phone without shutting it off?

Apple Watch @lemmy.world wellnowletssee @sh.itjust.works Watch face for various scenes?
Do you have dedicated watch faces for specific situations, scenes, scenarios, etc. you switch to? If so, what are your complications you use?
I was thinking of "building" a few for occasions/situations such as
- at home
- work/home office
- out and about
- in the car
- on vacation ...
I might be ... no .. I am surely over-engineering this but its fun :D

Apple Watch @lemmy.world wellnowletssee @sh.itjust.works Recommendations for black loop/band for the Ultra?
Hi together,
I am looking for a simple band for my Ultra, which I can wear for workouts, on holidays, does not take ages to dry but still looks decent/elegant when wearing a shirt e.g.
I was thinking of a black, synthetic band like the braided black loop. But the official one officially does not support the Ultra. Officially.
I’d prefer one pure in black or a Color matching the Creme tone of the ultra. No fancy/large laces or ornaments.
Can your recommend any?
