Metropolitan is my favorite. Looks classy as hell. California is also great.

Apple weirdly only lets you (kinda) fine tune notifications for apps with a Watch App counterpart.

I’d love it if I could prevent most apps from sending things to my watch’s Notification Center, but you can’t.

That’s what you get for skipping through the guide that showed you exactly where control center was moved to.

I use my black stainless steel link bracelet with the California face in black

Bonus tip: click the “Live” in the top left to switch it to other options, like Loop and Bounce. Makes them WAY cooler in my opinion!!

I do but it’s often frustrating to due to two notable issues with Apple’s implementation:

1. The don’t use the conventional “swipe in a loop over a letter to use two of that letter” approach. Instead they just try to figure it out if you swipe over a letter.

2. They don’t take grammar into consideration when trying to determine what word you just swiped.

Both of these lead to the feature failing A LOT to under what I’m trying to say.

I want my watch to look like a watch, so yes. And it’s useful for when hands are full, etc and turning my wrist isn’t an option.

There’s an app that works as a keyboard but only for Messages: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flicktype-watch-keyboard/id1359485719

It’s great when combined with Focus Modes where you’ve given each Focus its own Home Screen. Ensures you have access to certain widgets regardless of which Focus is enabled.

Go into AirPods settings on your phone and disable “connect to this iPhone automatically,” and I believe that’ll fix it.

I think it’s great and most of the complaints can be chalked up to folks needing to get used to change.

A vocal minority is upset about the loss of the Dock, but that was an objectively shitty way of accessing your most used apps. A clunky vertical scrolling list where only 1-3 apps can be seen or launched at a time just doesn’t come close to the Home Screen where you can launch as many as 17 with just one press of the Digital Crown.

My only real critique was the loss of the ability to swipe between faces, but Apple is adding a toggle for that so all good there.

That’s just a way to find your screenshots, that’s not actual separation.

Screenshots should only be there, not lumped in with all photos. Hell, downloaded images should be in their own place too.

A 5 second gesture becoming a 0.5 second one isn’t minimal.

Now can all the snobby naysayers shut up?

Every time this issue was raised people would come out of the woodwork to ridicule OP as “lazy” for wanting the clearly faster gesture to return. Turns out the company they white knight for disagreed with them, you love to see it.

Every single time this complaint was raised the comments would be filled with dweebs acting like Apple could do no wrong and that OP was a lazy idiot for wanting the once 0.5 second gesture not to have to be a 5 second one.

And would you look at that. Turns out Apple agreed with us and added an option, not hard at all. I don’t expect that crowd to actually learn something about how they behave, but I’ll enjoy the satisfaction in knowing that their beloved company told them they were wrong to their faces.
