  • Maybe add some new watch faces

    Like more variety of pride flag faces examples trans gender,bisexual,pansexual,demisexual . Also maybe add some more digital faces for those who aren’t great at reading clocks well or are in a hurry and need to read the clock as fast as they can or I think it would be cool to draw the background or also make a little watch face for long distance relationships or it doesn’t have to be for long distance relationship any relationship so that they could feel more connected even though they are far apart
  • Not great with Siri in the car, or while using phone.

    I’m not sure if I’m missing something. But wearing my watch and using Apple car play for calls is difficult to impossible, when using Siri.
    I can’t ask Siri to call ____, while driving. I have to say it into the watch, and it only has the call in the watch. To make a call through my car, I have to use the screen on my dashboard while driving. It’s not safe.
    I also can’t use Siri on my phone while using my watch, and I can’t ask Siri to do something on my phone, through my watch.
    So basically if I’m wearing my watch, Siri is useless for everything but the watch.
  • Glitchy Apple podcast sync

    I primarily use my Apple Watch to listen to podcasts on my morning jog without my phone. I don’t have cellular on my watch so I have to download episodes before going. This thing is absolutely maddening. Every single day, despite having automatic sync on, I have to specifically select episodes to save then have to open the podcast app, then the watch app, un-sync, re-sync, over and over again until it finally catches up and downloads the episodes I want. It literally takes me like 45 minutes every frickin morning. I honestly can’t believe how unreliable it is given I’m using an Apple phone, Apple Watch, and Apple podcast app. It makes every single morning a struggle to get out the door.
  • What is inconvenient, disruptive, and completely infuriating?!

    WRIST DETECTION! At this stage in the game it is absolutely ridiculous that Apple Watch is still having these detection issues. The whole point of me BUYING apple watch is for the health and fitness aspect. It is astounding to me that my Apple Watch still seems to have “detection” issues mid workout…when it’s STILL recording my heart rate…. Which is hard for it to do if IT CANT DETECT MY WRIST. Having to stop midflow to fix my watch or try to restart my workout, defeats the entire purpose of using it in the first place. It’s making the other watch options look a whole bit better.
  • A mess

    The integration between apple watch and iPhone is s royal mess. Some settings are controlled from this app, some from the health app, some from third party apps, some from the watch and some combinations of the above.
    Worst, by far, is the Sleep ... function (it's not an app, though it has an icon on the watch's app list, what is it?). You set a fixed schedule that you will *never* diverge from. Well, occasionally it'll detect you have gotten up early (say, to catch a flight) and offer to suspend sleep mode early, but it's incredibly rare, and while your watch/phone are in sleep mode, they're pretty non-functional. The watch won't unlock the phone, so in mask times, you end up punching your carefully chosen password in under the watchful eyes of a dozen CCTV cameras.
    For odd reasons I can't search for Watch and find this app on my phone, I have to dig it out from where I stashed it years ago when iOS installed it and I didn't have a watch, but that's clearly my fault.
    The idea that everything on your watch is controlled from the watch app is fine, but it's not really implemented here, especially where third party apps are concerned. And the Sleep function, lordy what a abhorrent disaster!
  • Where’s the HR zone training

    Why isn’t there any HR zone training In the native workout app for cardio activities. To be specific if I select the Workout app., outdoor running, I can select the three dots which allows me to choose to have my speed or pace monitored. Why not have the same option for my heart rate? My heart is already displayed on the watch.

    Just like with the third party sleep apps. There’s way too much on each screen in these apps. Most recreational runners, for example, want to just get up and go for a run. The large majority of the third party apps, including premium (paid) ones just have way to many toggles and switches that have be setup before you start. Then they all need you to sign up for their own eco systems. Why can’t there just be a native function for this?

    I love Apple Watch, but other wearables are starting to look real good. I really hope something changes.

    I doubt anyone from Apple, who can actually effect change will ever read this. But I can hope.
  • PLEASE Add Compatibility with iPad !!!!!!!

    As a Peloton subscriber without a Peloton bike, I want to be able to use the Peloton app on my iPad AND connect my Watch to the app so I can measure my heart rate. Since Watch is not compatible with iPads, I have to use the Peloton app on my phone and connect my Watch.

    I LOVE that the connection between my iPhone Peloton app and my Watch is able to measure heart rate and record exercise (so I can close my rings!). I really wish I could do the same, but on my iPad. I want to buy a non-Peloton stationary bike that can hold my iPad upright and visible. If the Watch app is compatible with my iPad, I can measure heart rate and exercise with my Watch as I use the Peloton app.
  • Disturbing App

    I’ve never owned an Apple Watch! Never. But it was downloaded to my phone and periodically used to attack my privacy and security. I’m certain because of a security app I trust that displayed it using Bluetooth to hack me, and made a victim of identity theft and they also stole quite a bit of my hard earned money. Leaving me with nothing but yet another hacked cell phone (in addition to the 12 Androids I destroyed totally over $4k down the drain) This App was never installed by me and I purchased this iPhone for Security. I’m very concerned that between Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SIM cards and Apple Watch that no one is safe online. I can’t remove it. I can’t uninstall it. I can’t operate it. But the attacker can. Horrible product and I’m sure that I’m not the only iPhone that has or will experience this. Can anyone assist with getting this Watch off my device so I can protect my security? I have no need for it and my iPhone is stating that it can be restored AT ANY TIME! I’m tired of being hacked and robbed. Thx!
  • Complications Placement severely limiting

    Would give this app five stars if the complications placement were not so severely limited! For example today’s date can be placed in the middle in ONLY the Modular watch face. Come on Apple! What’s the most common question people ask? What is the DATE! Common sense says that a middle placement of the DATE should be available in ALL watch faces that have a spot in the middle for a complication! But NO that’s currently NOT the case! From this one could conclude that watch face developers have no common sense. So I give this app a one star rating for the Modular watch face the only watch face that has a spot in the middle for the date!
  • Really Wish I Could Schedule Updates

    TLDR schedule install/ auto install

    I don’t charge my watch overnight. I primarily use it for fitness and sleep tracking, so taking it off at night is counterintuitive. I do short charges throughout the day like when I shower or while driving. It would be easier if I could choose a time, or just auto-install anytime it’s above a certain percent and connected to the charger.
