  5. Question: How do I get my timers back? The os 10 update changed my timer app to a stopwatch type app. I use timers (like 5 min. countdown) all the time on my watch. I've looked in my watch settings on my phone and also hit every button on my watch to try and find them. Please help??!!

  6. Absolutely love the redesign in watchOS 10! It’s made my SE feel very refreshed and way less laggy than it was on 9. I’ll probably upgrade my SE when 11 drops next year. I’m at 87% battery health on my SE so by next year I’m sure the battery life will be 💩

  7. what I don't like about watch OS 10 is the fact that every time I go to the app list, it starts at the top again, instead of remaining on the last app that I used.

  8. Double Tap on older Apple Watch Settings :

    So after some time of testing and searching, I have found the best settings/most similar to the “new” Double Tap feature.

    Watch app on iPhone -> Accessibility -> Quick Actions -> set it to ON and MINIMAL . Now go back.

    AssistiveTouch -> Hand Gestures -> turn it ON -> set the Double Pinch to SHOW WIDGETS* and VERY IMPORTANT** set to NONE all others ( pinch, clench, double clench ) -> Activation Gestures -> NONE and TURN OFF Visual Signal.

    Finish! Now you can answer calls, ending calls, play/stop music, snooze alarm clocks and so on. Good job, Apple. 👎🏻

    *You can assign the Double Pinch not only to show widgets, but also to show apps list and many more; but I have done it exactly like on AW9 / Ultra 2. Changing it might affect AssistiveTouch behaviour/response and might activate the annoying selection highlight

    **If you don’t disable all the others gestures, you will get the annoying blue highlights on your selections making AssistiveTouch not so user friendly.

  9. Thanks for the helpful video!! I’m wondering how can I see the opened apps I have and close those I don’t need. I can’t do it with the new iOS.

  18. Great, so I won’t be able to upgrade without buying a new phone. I’m still perfectly happy with my iPhone 8, but apparently it won’t be able to install iOS 17. Didn’t even cross my mind this could be an issue when I bought an Apple Watch. Guess I’m switching to garmin.

  31. 1:34 My ultra when im driving my hand is on my lap and the watch face always get pressed and shrunk like im going to swipe watch faces. So this new feature will fix that i think. So if that happens, then i can love this ultra. Because right now, it's unbelievable to me that the watch basically gets pressed without using a finger at all. Its just my lap when the watch face touches my lap when i have my wrist on my lap so the face touches my leg. Stupid and never had this problem with all the other previous watches. ✌️

  32. e bike calorie's calculation. is awful… and there is still no E bike option is the fitness app… its free on the strave app and 100 x better… what a joke

  38. SE owner warning here! If your using SE, just don't update, the battery life is poor, if you sleep with sleep tracking, it'll drop 70% a night, and also bad with other time

  41. Did they put the “add to library” button back into the Siri UI when you shazam a song? It seems like they just mostly remove features with every app update. Now they took away the app switcher…

  43. Two thumbs up for making it clear to everyone that you cannot roll back once updating to the beta. I learned this the hard way because nobody else explained that. So thank you!
