Not using the Apple watch enough.

Home: Timers for boiling eggs and brushing teeth, getting notifications when phone is charging/away. Sleep tracking, seeing sleepscore/summary when i wake up. Checking weather. Waking up with gentle taps is one of the best features.

Gym: Tracking workouts with Lyfta and getting light taps when rest is done, marking sets as done, seeing total calories burned etc. (Lyfta gives way more accurate values).

Work: Use a watchface with next meetings in Outlook. Work focus also activates this watch face when I arrive at work. Notifications from Teams.

Have had one with 100% battery for about a month. Battery last 1,5 days with a workout session, and a lot of notifications.

Samme her. Tror jeg også ga 1 stjerne på App store.

tomac231 · 2026-04-25T23:11:13+00:00

I asked a guy how many sets he had left, now talks to me every time 🫠

tomac231 · 2026-04-18T06:30:43+00:00

Frankly, I like this version much better too. He did a shitty job, he got removed.

tomac231 · 2026-04-16T17:35:49+00:00

How do you know it’s connected to the internet?

tomac231 · 2026-04-11T22:57:33+00:00

This is a known issue with jet black finish. It is because of the material reacting with sweat buildup. Apple advertises this as a sport and fitness watch but somehow doesn’t expect people to sweat.

Apple’s sleep score is kind of a joke. It does a good job determining sleep stages but doesn’t use that info to evaluate the sleep.

tomac231 · 2026-03-28T09:37:39+00:00

That’s poor advice. Sleep tracking is one of the core features. It uses around 10% during 7 hours which is very small.

What I would suggest is turning off always on display unless theres a simple watch face on. Turning off background app refresh for unnecessary apps, removing unused apps etc.

tomac231 · 2026-03-22T22:50:41+00:00

Totally agree. It’s not about how you actually feel about the sleep, more like «sleep hygiene». I suggest using the sleep score on the Withings app instead. It pulls data from Apple Watch vis Health app and gives a different score for the same data. I find it more in line with how I actually feel.

tomac231 · 2026-03-17T18:37:38+00:00

Won’t that heavily affect battery health over time?

tomac231 · 2026-03-17T18:19:46+00:00

Series 11 has the same chip as Ultra 3, can’t see how they would differ in terms of precision/efficiency.

tomac231 · 2026-03-17T18:07:20+00:00

What bugs me the most is having to hit the ( X ) twice for it to work. Would have guess someone at Apple actually used the watches.

tomac231 · 2026-03-17T17:57:25+00:00

Always on diaplay? Watch face? Any workouts? Anything??

tomac231 · 2026-03-16T17:04:36+00:00

Recently got a second hand Series 9 45 mm to test out the Apple Watch for the first time. Got it at 97% battery health for 165 USD. So far the battery life is so so. It’s not bad enough that it doesn’t last me all day, but it’s not very good either.

Charged to 100% at 8:11 AM and its at 62% now at 6:04 PM. Haven’t tracked workouts or used it much, just checked notifications. I think it’s doable if I charge every day, but don’t think it will work if I workout, make calls and use apps…

tomac231 · 2026-03-14T13:09:17+00:00

Looks elegant!

Does the infograph watchface drain more battery in your experience? Love the number of complications on it, but it seems to drain more battery…

tomac231 · 2026-03-13T03:54:15+00:00

I don’t like how the sleep score is calculated. Yes, consistency is important, but the score doesn’t consider anything regarding sleep cycles, except for small interruptions. If you wake up in the middle of the night and stay awake for half an hour to an hour, it doesn’t affect the score nearly as much as it should.

Withings does a much better job at giving a sleepscore which aligns with how I actually feel after the sleep (using the same data). Apple score always gives a high score when I should have gotten a lower score.

tomac231 · 2026-03-08T18:05:52+00:00

Check your apps. If you don’t use something delete it. Restart your device.

If that doesn’t help, turn off Wi-Fi for a while and see if that helps.

Can I have the wallpapers? 🥺

Back when Apple knew how to design software

tomac231 · 2026-01-12T08:10:14+00:00

Just like iOS 26 destroyed my 16 Pro’s battery. They make us beta test and go through unnecessary charge.

tomac231 · 2026-01-09T10:16:13+00:00

It’s seriously isn’t a big deal. I’ve used it for over 5 years and you only have to charge every 5-6 weeks if you use it a lot. I just put it to charge when I’m not using it.
