Apple Watch Ultra 3 gaslighting me the time is 7 minutes ahead every morning

My watch every morning keeps showing me future time, and I’ve noticed it likes doing that the most when water lock is enabled. Is it some weird lock screen method that assumes I will not look for my watch for 7 minutes while showering? Why is it consistently 7 minutes?? Did someone at Apple time 7 m

Time to box up the air and return it

Got the air yesterday and set it up last night after work. Within the first two minutes of set up I started to get a slight headache but figured I’d be ok once I use the PWM toggle. After setting it up and reducing motion and having the toggle on as well as 60hz I began to use it and the headache go

Apple Ultra Watch

At just over 2 years old I had water damage to my AWU, it was as though the action button was being constantly pressed. The watch would start workouts, sound the alarm tone, make emergency calls all by itself. I took it back to Apple (I’m in Australia and might have different consumer laws to where

Apple Watch Ultra 3 Battery Life and Crown Concerns

I bought an Apple Watch Ultra 3 — I previously had the Apple Watch Series 7. I expected better battery life, but even when fully charged it only lasts about two days. I know Apple says 48 hours, but I’ve read quite a few posts here from people who get 3 to 3.5 days.

Also, I’m a bit skeptical about

Apple Watch Ultra 3 Digital Crown

Got my AWU 3 today. Noticed that the Digital Crown doesn’t click when I press it, was this done deliberately? Feels more soft now when I press it.

I wonder if others experience this too.

Watch seconds choppy not smooth

Have a look at this video. The watch on my wrist is a new ultra 3. The seconds are choppy. The other one is an ultra 2 with smoother seconds appearing. Why does the Watch ultra 3 not have the seconds appear smooth the same way and how do I fix that?

Apple needs to fix the Workout app

I switched to the first Apple Watch Ultra as soon as it came out from the Fitbit Versa, and immediately fell in love with the frictionless design of this—for me—core experience. I was shocked to see the UI after the last watchOS upgrade, as it adds so much friction. Apple, I believe, wanted to expos

Garmin converts…convince me to keep my AWU3

For me, the downsides of the Apple Watch Ultra were the buttons and the weight. When I sweat, it slips and wobbles around on my wrist.

Garmin converts…convince me to keep my AWU3

I went from Epix to AWU to 570. I am strictly a runner and was able to do everything I wanted on all three watches, but everything is so much easier and foolproof on Garmin. Garmin’s physical buttons work all the time - rain, sweat, cold, long sleeves, and gloves. Sure, AWU has Water Lock, but it ca

AWU3 vs Garmin Fenix 8 - losing my mind over this GAS spiral 😅

I hate that it’s so tough - I’m in the same boat to be honest. I value the metrics on Garmin and the overall usability on the device and platform. Buttons are much better for use in workouts. I enjoy some aspects of the AWU, but there are many times where it’s just annoying. I don’t like that I need
