  8. I can’t stand to watch this video because you talk too fast and you just keep tapping on your watch face because you know what to do but when you’re teaching someone else you need to slow down a bit so they can follow what you’re doing otherwise it’s useless

  9. You are talking too fast and flipping around tapping on your watch face, and you did not slow down and show the process to put it in the proper wrist mode. You skipped right past it and I did not understand or catch it as a result.

  12. Thanks for the video, had this very annoying issue and your video solved it. Would have been nice for Apple to make it open via Face ID, so no need for both hands especially if you forget the phone at home, (which I admit to doing) regards.

  14. thanks – my watch kept coming up saying i need my apple password so I followed and hit unlock with iPhone which has fixed my problem – also you explained it very clearly so very appreciated😀

  21. I CANT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HATE APPLE WATCHES
    I just bought one and i cant even express my level of frustration
    I am mean seriously in 2023 there is NO FKG FaceID or Touch ID are you fkg KIDDING ME???

    Expect me to type a freaking code every 2 secs and that too in PUBLIC??????????
    The are PSYCHOS at apple!

  22. **IMPORTANT** For those with tattoos, this may be an issue. I have a tattoo on my left wrist, and there would even be times when I was actively touching the screen and it would suddenly ask for passcode. Saw some information about the tattoo problem, and slid the watch further down my wrist that isn’t covered. Suddenly started working as intended. If you are having this same issue, I suggest trying to find a bare spot on your wrist or switching to the other wrist. Too bad this video didn’t cover that. Maybe I should make one that gets straight to the problem and outline the solutions.

  25. Hello,

    My Apple Watch (Series 8) will remain around the passcode after I enter it.

    Unlock with iPhone and Carry Detection is on and the Watch sits tightly on my wrist.

    What can be or cause the problem?

    I hope to hear from you..

    Greetings,

  32. I’ve done all the steps AND erased and repaired the watch twice, it still constantly asks for a passcode while wearing. Really annoying. Ever since the last update. Come on Apple…

  33. Just had the problem and nothing fixed it. Now i realised that it works fine on my other wrist. I guess the problem is, that my arm is heavily tattooed. The watch seems to have a problem with that. That makes me wonder if it works for black people. Would be pretty messed up if not.

  42. Great information!!! But you talk so quickly I can’t follow what you’re saying. Plus when you use the face of the watch for the presentation it’s difficult for me to know what your pressing ie you went to settings to begin, and I could barely see it!! Again, fabo info…. Mb make a slower video for beginners like myself, and magnify the size of the watch face so we can see exactly what we need to open up to get there?
    Thank you!!!

  46. I got a apple se watch yesterday and cannot get it to lock only when I remove it. I have tried every option but it either locks all the time or not at all if I take the passcode feature off. My son and wife have the Apple Watch series 3 and there’s does fine. Also I put the “unlock with iPhone” feature on and that doesn’t work either smh. Any help would be greatly appreciated
