Any extra function beyond telling the time is called a ‘complication’ because when the original watchmakers of mechanical watches were asked to add an additional feature they felt it complicated their work. True.

Cover to mute has been moved to gestures.

[maximilian]

Thanks for your great videos. But I can’t find the Cover to mute option at my Series 7 with latest os. Is this ultra or higher series exclusive?

I’m always using the multiple timer function. But the best thing is if you use Siri to dictate and set a timer and tell it to title that individual timer something, it will then remind you what thing you were timing. Useful for cooking when several things are all on different timers. "Hey Siri set a 15 minute timer, titled check potatoes".

My Apple Watch alerted me that my heart rate was low. I went to ER and after tests they said I needed bypass surgery and should not go home to wait for one or I could have a heart attack. Bypass was successful.

Killer feature of the Theatre Mode: the flashlight will be soft red instead of bright white. So nice for midnight trips to the bathroom. (I have the action button set as a flashlight). My number one feature request is ability to set the default flashlight setting to always be red, so you don’t need to be in theatre mode to have quick access to red light.

Great to have info on hand instead of searching each necessary question on functions that come up

[bobmetzger]

Speaking of list vs. grid view, I like the list view. However, my wish would be to allow the list view to fully rotate from the end of the list to the top without “bottoming out”! Minor annoyance.

[jefff]

Great video, but can’t get the flashlight to flash when pressing the chime. Is there some thing settings that needs to be turned on/off? Thanks.

Blood Oxygen levels is one of the main reasons I got my Apple watch

Misleading title.
A hack is a modification, what you’re describing are mere functions.

Multiple Timers on the Apple Watch:

You can also name your timers. This is helpful in cooking, child care, maybe health care, coaching.
Also, I find using Siri the easiest way to set the timers.
How to:
Say: Siri set 2 minute eggs timer, Siri set a 5 minute Doug time out timer, Siri set a 10 minute screen time timer.
Then your watch will have a title on the timer while it is running and when it goes off. This can cut down on the confusion if you are super busy.

[cmd_f]

Good stuff. The timers are incredibly helpful.
I got a watch yesterday, and while it's kinda gimmicky, I think there's a good case for having one if you're out and about a lot and don't always wanna be grabbing a phone and setting it down etc. just glance and get back to whatever you're doing.

[jeepmojave]

How about screen display setting manually?

[cowebb]

Will these tips work for the SE watch?

[micheleredtfeldt]

Is there a way to sync the voice memos between the iWatch and iPhone? If so, how?

[kayasthaumesh]
