Today I encountered the old issue with AW not unlocking my Mac. Oh no, not again! I thought but I went through the process as usual.
System Settings > Touch ID & Password > Use Apple watch to unlock your Applications and your Mac with the expected result. "Your Watch must be signed into your Apple ID to use this feature, you can sign in using the AW app on your iPhone"
Now I know this doesnt work but checking my AW app I see my watch is sighed into my Apple ID as usual. No joy...

This is just soooo annoying. Despite this being a recognised issue over some time and Apples claim that the current update to macOS 11.1 improves Apple watch connectivity this still happens for no apparent reason.
The only stategy that seems to work is unpairing and pairing the watch with an iPhone all over again. A process which takes over an hour and involves re entering all your Wallet credit card details again, a tedious and sometimes unsuccessful process. It's about time Apple solved...

It seems like every year or more frequently, there are multiple online reports that the latest iOS/iPadOS/AWOS upgrade or update has reduced the battery life of everything from MacBooks to Apple Watches, sometimes drastically.
In the case of watchOS 10 there was a claim that a watch previously lasting 24+ hrs on one charge was reduced to 4 hrs. That's pretty drastic, I tend to take these seemingly outrageous claims with a grain of salt while admitting there is probably some fire...

I wanted to add an often-used app as a Smart Stack Widget in Watch OS 10.
But when I looked for my app, the list of apps to select from did not include it. It was a limited selection of apps.

Hi, I would appreciate if anyone could help with the following as I bought the Apple Watch Series 8 GPS the and could not find any details from the user manual:
Can the watch be paired to my TV via AirPlay? If so, can all features on the watch be functional on the TV or specifically which ones will or will not work on the TV? I read from the manual that the fitness app only works on the TV but I don't know what it means.
Can the watch be paired or...

I finally convinced the wife to get an Apple Watch SE like mine to replace her dying FitBit. We purchased it using my Apple ID/account because I had credits from an iPhone trade-in. Although the Watch was purchased with my Apple account/ID it has never been paired with my phone. It has always been paired only with her phone and account/ID.
Set up was easy and we were even able to get her step count to appear on her watch face. We have encountered one snag that I haven't figured out yet...

Hello,
I have AW series 2
It was working fine for years with no issues
I didn’t use it for about a month and noticed that app called Tonal disappeared from installed on AW while it’s present on my iPhone
I tried reinstall it on iPhone but it’s still not visible on AW
Eventually I removed AW and then added it back
Well it didn’t make a difference
Any ideas how I could get it back on AW?
Thanks ..read more
