Poll: **** The official Apple Watch Series 6 thread ****

[Valo]

Just ordered a 44mm Graphite Stainless Steel with a Black Sport Band to replace my Series 2 Space Black Stainless Steel....should be a nice upgrade.

I’d like to get the ProductRed Braided Solo Loop eventually. I’ve been reading some hit and miss stories though about how accurate the fit is after measuring your wrist using the printable guide.

Think a trip to an Apple Store will be needed for a try on and to get the right fit.

Don't bother. Although technically it's a computer, it's a watch and I think screen protectors look ridiculous. Plus it has curved edges so no protector will reach to the edge and its the edge you're most likely to knock. Take a look here.

Thanks buddy!

That make sense but doesn't it need to do some kind of ID unlock first?

The watch is already unlocked. When you put it on your wrist, you have to unlock it so if you take it off, it locks automatically and ApplePay won't work.

I guess it knows if it's taken off at any time?

also, I want to get a new strap but dont have any sizing except I know the standard apple band that it comes with fits me fine on the smallest notch.

I guess I should go for S/M size on this chart if I were to get one of these?

Is there more to the sleep data apart from the blue line on the watch app?

I've been wearing it for 3 nights now and not entirely sure where i check it and what to look out for!

I don't have a watch but I am sure they mentioned the new Health app on your iPhone etc has a new sleep subsection?

 

[ChrisD.]

It does, but it there isn't much data. Certainly not what I remember compared to say a Fitbit I was using 3 or so years ago.

 

[Supernaut91]

My watch is out for delivery now. Hopefully I'm not having to wait all day!

 

[Broken Hope]

Got my SS version with black solo loop today, restoring from my backup went fine, tested the blood oxygen app and that seems to work fine.

Was a little bit of a faff getting my data plan transferred from my S4, but that's now over and working fine also.

I'm liking the always on screen, great to just glance at the time without having to move my wrist.

do you have to set a bedtime routine in the app for sleep tracking to work?

I have done that already.

 

[doran1801]

Is there any physical stock anywhere ? I’ve ordered from apple online. But there’s a few weeks wait .

 

[Irish_Tom]

The new sleep tracking is a step in the right direction but it's still pretty limited compared to an app like Pillow.

yes iv found this also, I’m wanting a sleep quality analysis, any reason we can’t run both apple sleep and pillow?

I am struggling with the sleep app. I set my routine 11pm to 7pm. When I went to sleep i pushed the bed icon on the watch. This morning it tells me I slept 8 hours. I know I didnt as I had a bad night (up to close window, toilet, get a drink etc) am I missing something?

I think it's Apple's first iteration, and you're best off waiting for a bit more progress to be made on the software and continuing to use a third party at the moment from what I have seen. I've been using the built in one, and think it's good at what it does, but yeah we're missing a lot of the in-depth analysis etc.

Thanks, from my experience last night then unless I have not set it up is it is not fit for purpose. I drifted off just after 11, woke three times and got out of bed, woke up at 6:30 yet the app is telling me I had 8 hours sleep being the routine I set of 11 to 7.

Mine's showing different, so mine shows me my average time in bed, but also my average time asleep. Still not as good as third party apps at the moment, but I am willing to stick with it whilst they build on it.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Mine has a different layout, it shows time went to bed, when I turned around or woken up in bed.
