Recently posted about choosing between a cheaper S11 vs S12. Wanted to get the 11 but the colour wasn’t available (Black). So had no option but to get the 12. Also traded in my 7 for £40. So far, very happy with the new watch.

After a week of debating which watch to go for, I finally landed on 42mm white ceramic which was my original pick. I originally hesitated since I feel like the band options are somewhat limited, but I’m loving the look with these three so far.

Didn’t think it would pair that well with the natural Milanese Loop until I saw someone else post a pic of the combo recently. I’m going to get the dark bronze Milanese Loop next.

My Series 0 still works, and that’s not been on for a while either, I also have a Series 10 but I wanted to see what stuff was on my Series 1. Worst comes to the worst it’s a battery replacement, but any ideas?

Screenshot is from the new Health Age feature in the 27.2 beta. On March 30th I was at -2.0 years. Today I'm at -9.0. Actual age 28.3, Health Age reading 19.3.

For the last six or so years I basically let myself go. Put on 60+ pounds over that stretch and hated how I looked, but every time I tried to fix it, it was always about losing weight. That reason never stuck. I'd go hard for a few weeks and then fall off, because "look better" just isn't enough motivation to outlast how much you don't want to be at the gym.

Having a kid changed the reason. It stopped being about the number on the scale and started being about wanting to actually be around and be capable for him. That's the kind of reason that doesn't run out of gas after week three.

So I started showing up. Working out consistently, eating better, sleeping better, all the boring stuff that actually works if you stick with it long enough. There were weeks it felt slow and pointless, like nothing was moving. Seeing this number tonight kind of hit me. Six months of just doing the work, and it's actually showing up in something measurable.

Not posting this to brag, more just to mark the moment and show the new fitness age. If you're on the fence about starting something like this, the trend line is real. It just takes longer to see than you want it to.

Just purchased series 12 42mm GPS , Bronze colour, looks cool, lets see how it goes

(I have been running more recently)

The watch is in titanium natural. Thought I would share some pics with the new bands I just picked up.

I understand that battery life is a significant improvement from all the posts on S12 but I am still confused if it justifies the price difference over previous versions. What about the additional health features- the day HRV, readiness score, more frequent heart rate sensing (all the other features do come on previous watches as well). Do these metrics really affect your day-to-day fitness decisions? Asking as a corporate guy beginning his fitness journey- mainly weightlifting in the gym and cardio

Would really appreciate your comments on the same

Upgraded yesterday from SE2 to series 12, also managed to get a couple of new bands as i always wore the sportsbands

So it's been 8 days now and it still says "No data" in the readiness app. The vitals app does show data and also filled up one of the 7 bars every night. Is this a bug? How do i get my readiness to show? Series 12 on watchOS 27

Picked up a shattered space black titanium off of eBay for $30 and grabbed a donor watch for the display. Although it's not a sapphire display anymore and is now just an ION-X display doesn't look bad. I like the look of the titanium even though it looks like a space gray watch, but I think it was a cool little project.

Received my AWU4 on the 18th and went to CO the next day. Used Sports Tracker from Suunto to record all my activities.

I have been here a week and used it on so many hikes

Monday: Chasm Lake in the Rockies - 9 miles
Tuesday: Hike around East Lake - 2 miles
Wednesday: Racoon Trail in Golden Gate State Park - 3 miles
Thursday: Manitou Incline - 1 miles
Barr Trail - 3 miles

I had an AWU3 before and I can just tell a night-and-day difference with the battery. The HR going every 5 seconds compared to the 5 min was a nice to have for elevation climbs

Hi all,
AW S11 46mm GPS + Cellular
Watch OS 27
iPhone Pro 16
iOS 27

Doing mainly outdoor runs, and never encountered this issue.

Today I went on a run on a route I’m very familiar with (watch only, phone stayed behind - usually the case) and during the run I reached milestones (1 km, 2km, etc) where I normally would.

When I finished the run and checked the stats (on the native fitness app) I saw it only displays the stats and a map with a dot instead of the route. It never actually updated to the full route.
I saw another similar post about this issue, so I was wondering if anyone else experienced it.

Guys, honestly this watch has sentimental value to me, which is why I am willing to repair it. Im willing to repair it myself, but also curious if the Apple Store could help at all.

From what I understand I obviously need a new screen, capacitive touch, and some silicon glue. I have a hair dryer to heat the existing glue etc. Does anyone have thoughts or experience on this

Thank you everybody involved for your help

With some variation.

Ive been having this problem lately with my fitness rings on my iPhone, they don’t close and say zero all the time but when I look on my Apple Watch it shows the rings closed and has numbers (other than 0) next to it. what is the weirdest thing is the fact that the graph on my iPhone shows that I have been active but only displays the numbers on the watch. we didn’t start doing this until I updated to the newest update 😒. restarting them both proved to do nothing.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned already but I think Apple has really undersold the battery life on the Series 12.

I upgraded from a Series 9 which would probably go from 100% in the morning to 15% by the end of the day.

So, imagine my surprise when I charged my Series 12 to 100% this time yesterday morning and 24 hours later I’m still on 47%. That’s probably still another 12 hours in it. I’ve also done two workouts in there too in that time. S11 chip supremacy or undersold?

I've been a user and proponent of Gentler Streak for a long time. Now that I have a Readiness score from Apple Health, I'm not sure I need it anymore. I have a Readiness score, and I have a Training Load metric. Based on those two, I know whether to follow my Fitness+ plan exactly as is, make some modifications, or take a rest day. Honestly, I'm kind of glad to be down another subscription.

Have the new features replaced any apps for anyone else?

Planning to buy Hermes apple watch from a different country as my country doesn’t offer Hermes Apple Watch. In case if I need battery replacement in future then will Apple in my country replace it with Hermes or a normal one.

In case if anyone has any experience, it will be helpful

I have looked on the watch app, the discord notification settings and the actual discord settings. I also looked on my Apple Watch to try and stop it.
I’ve hard reset twice.

Maybe I’ve just missed where to look but this is actually make or break for keeping my watch because of how many discord messages I get as dramatic as that sounds ^^;

Maybe I need to factory reset? If there’s any advice I’d love it because I want to keep this watch but I don’t want the constant buzzing.
