Synching Options
I was excited to get an Apple Watch for Christmas! It’s a big disappointment. The watch is too complicated, especially the Fitness and Health apps. It’s too overwhelming with all the In purchasing apps. It definitely needs to be simplified. Also, when pairing phone and watch, we should be given the option of what we want to transfer to the watch. Everything from the phone doesn’t need to be on the watch bc it drains the battery quickly. Also, the face apps are trash! Fitbit gives many more choices and they are really nice. Further, you should be able to transfer data from
Fitbit to Apple Watch. I have more to say about the watch but don’t have the time. Very disappointed with this watch and will be returning it for an upgraded Fitbit!

Do not buy!
This watch is an absolute scam! I can’t download Facebook, WhatsApp, ChatGPT, or anything useful! Everything available is third-party and subpar. Why did I pay £800 for this watch? 🤷🏻♂️ It’s been just one day since I started using it, and I’m already frustrated.
I can’t use ChatGPT on the go, Citymapper isn’t showing my saved locations, Facebook Messenger is nowhere to be found, WhatsApp is completely inaccessible, and this device isn’t even brand new—it’s been on the market for a couple of years now. What’s going on? Why can’t I access simplified versions of these apps so I can reply to messages, speak to ChatGPT on the go, or get my Citymapper routes with just two clicks? Why is this so unnecessarily complicated? And how come you are selling it for 800 when you can’t do absolutely anything with this watch 🤷🏻♂️

Making older watches useless..
I have 2 old series 2 watches, which I have been using for a few years, I use the ‘now playing’ to control music playback on my phone, so I don’t have to keep pulling the phone out just to change song, adjust volume… but since updating my phone to iOS 18 (I skipped 17..) the now playing doesn’t work at all with the phone! It doesn’t even show up, I have tried resetting the watches, and the phone to no avail. Playing music that is on the watch works fine, just the phone playback isn’t recognised any more. Very annoying as it’s a feature I used a lot! I know the watches are old, but there was no need to stop them working!!! I won’t be replacing them with newer models, not worth it. Apple products are going to the dogs these days, not repairable, forced obsolescence, untested software updates that break more things than they fix!!

Perfect
Just got the SE (2nd Generation) on my iPhone 14 Pro it works perfectly
New update broke voice recognition
I know my watch is a couple generation older at this point, but the fact that the new update has completely broken voice recognition is still unacceptable in my eyes. As someone who is a professional driver for a living, I often use voice recognition in texting on my watch Because it’s convenient and safe. But the new update has made it impossible to use since it seems to no longer recognize my voice at all. I’ve played around with the new features and no matter what I do I cannot get it to work correctly. This seems like another one of a big companies toys to break software on older devices and an attempt to get people to purchase their newer devices

Delayed continuity
Okay long term Apple Watch user. Bearly use it. Siri is somehow still in these phones and watches. Furthermore the method of continuity through messaging is so horrible. Yesterday, prior to throwing my watch as far as I could, I was upset about a subject with someone and the lack of its speech recognition and speed caused it to create a narrative even more explicit than what anger I was expressing . This is normal, I usually hit cancel , and go on with my rant again. This time it failed so much that it forced me to stop ranting , and when we finally had a resolve … hours later, the watch kicks in from god knows where and sends all these not only hateful messages but also out of any context due to its horrible recognition of words and compounded it like a surge of hatred towards my mom. She went to bed crying.

Love the watch
Had it for years now & still going strong. Please can you extend the workout update that you did for cycling; (during the workout live on the watch, you can click on it on the phone & see the live data)
I’m asthmatic & during boxing & kickboxing etc, I have hand wraps & boxing gloves on. It would be very interesting to be able to see the live data on my phone screen during certain parts of my workout to try to help establish why I suddenly suffer an asthma attack. I’m sure various other sports would benefit from the live view on a phone screen for many reasons. I actually thought it was available on all the different sports.

Workout app no longer accurate after most recent update
I use the workout app to help with my running time splits and until the last update it was pretty accurate both for out door runs and indoor runs. First indoor run today on a treadmill post the recent update and the app was so inaccurate it was showing I had run 1.5km less than I actually had and my km time splits were almost 2mins longer. Not great.

APPLE PAY
I can't even use my Apple Pay on my watch, even though it is under my account and creditcards. It is stating that I couldn't set up Apple Pay on my Apple Watch. I've added different cards also.
