APPLE WATCH HELPED SAVE SOMEONES LIFE

So I was at my local rock climbing gym today and Was waiting to get my phone fixed and I was looking at this one girl and all the sudden she starts having a seizure now I was a lifeguard and I’ve just recently took my first responder recertification training because I work on electric vehicles all day, so I immediately knew what to do and I asked if this was normal, her friend said no I immediately called 911 on my phone and got her into a good position. I started to aspirate and I noticed she had an Apple Watch on her and I wasn’t gonna check her pulse manually so I use the Apple Watch to check her pulse and relay it to the 911 operator. Which helped the paramedics get an idea of what was going on and they took her to the hospital:)

Have you noticed naps not being recorded with watchOS 26.4?

Hey guys, I noticed my Apple Watch didn’t automatically record two long naps like it used to. One was a 1-hour nap, and the other was almost 3 hours.

I also noticed this started happening after updating to watchOS 26.4, so I just wanted to check if anyone else has experienced the same issue. This is with Sleep Mode off, just wearing the watch as usual while asleep.

Playing 18 holes from my living room with zero setup. Peak laziness or genius?

Too lazy to go to the driving range today. Decided to just wear my Phigolf Watch and swing a stick in front of the TV. The fact that a smartwatch can track swing tempo and path this well is pretty awesome

Watch S6 since 2020 with me.

Since I understood that I do not need too many widgets and/or complications, my watch lasts at least two days. That is a little less stressful.

Is there a timer app that vibrates once and auto-dismisses?

I'm a doctor and need a discreet 30 -min timer during patient consultations. The native timer keeps buzzing until you dismiss it, which means touching/looking at the watch — defeats the purpose.

Need something that just vibrates briefly and stops on its own. Does this exist?

Apple Watch Ultra 2

Deleted my post from yesterday because I couldn’t edit. My 79 year-old friend wore this watch for about a week but couldn’t figure it out and just put it away. He gave it to me this week. I have it paired to my phone, but it’s way too big for me and I’d like to get a feminine watch that fits my dainty wrists lol. What is the best way to get the most for this almost new watch.

Charging and updates

Any thoughts on why Apple requires the watch be charged 50% and on the charger for updates to install? I mean it’s on the charger so what’s wrong with 30% or 10% charged for that matter?

Series 6 - scroll wheel clicking stopped working (intermittent)

My series 6 is on its last legs. Battery life is pretty shit - had turn off the always on screen to make it last through the day.

Lately the scroll wheel click button hasn’t been working. I can sometimes get it to work again if i run it under water while clicking/turning. Unfortunately this isn’t a permanent fix and then it stops working again shortly after.

Have tried a full reset and that didnt help.

Anyone have any better solutions to make it work again? Could this poor battery health be affecting the button?

Winter Olympic X Ways to Kill Time on your Apple Watch

Proud parent moment — my son just created a new slalom skiing game for Apple Watch, and my wife helped with all the art. He got this idea from watching the Winter Olympics!

You use the Digital Crown to carve through gates, dodge cute bunnies and a snowman, and if you shake your wrist, the whole screen turns into a snow‑globe effect.

It’s designed to be quick, replayable, and perfect for on‑the‑go play. Miss a gate and you lose 5 seconds. The goal is simple: beat your best time.

Would love any feedback from the community — gameplay, difficulty, art style, anything. If you try it, let me know what stood out to you or what you’d tweak. Every bit helps him get better.

apple watch - workout pausing

i have an old apple watch (series 3) and almost every time i work out, my watch will pause when it shouldn’t be. this happens anywhere from 1-5 times per workout and sometimes i don’t notice it. just yesterday i was about 25 minutes in to my workout and i checked my watch and it had paused at 8 minutes.

does anyone know if upgrading to a new watch will fix this, or is it just a weird apple thing that i won’t be able to get away from?

- frustrated girly who just wants credit for her workouts

If you’re still wondering whether you need a Milanese loop for the Ultra – you do

I wasn’t sure whether to buy it or not – after all, $200 for a strap is a lot – but once I’d unboxed it, I realised it’s the best Apple has to offer. My wrist is exactly 18 cm, and I chose size M after consulting GPT, lol. And the clasp sits perfectly in the centre of my wrist. I also used to own the Series 10 model with a Milanese loop, and they actually felt heavier, even though the Ultra is much larger. I can confidently recommend buying the strap and steering clear of fakes.
