10.1.1 released.

Hopefully fixes the stupidly annoying issue with airpods never connect or finding them. Worked flawlessly for years until the latest update.

10.2 will restore the swipe to change between different watch faces gesture, although it will be toggled OFF by default on patch installation.

I prefer the new method, it’s just push, swipe and push and removed any chance of doing it accidentally.

Did Apple say there was a way to change the default "ding" notification sound for Apple Watch? I'm sure I read it somewhere but can't find it.

 

[PaulM]

Don't think you can change the ding, or at least I couldn't find a way when I searched after getting mine. I just have mine on silent and rely on the prominent haptics setting to get alerted now

I love this new band:

New Black Unity Band for Apple Watch Now Available to Order

Apple today announced that a new Black Unity Sport Band for the Apple Watch is available to order on Apple.com and in the Apple Store app starting today for $49. The band launches in select Apple Store locations on Tuesday, January 23. Apple says the band's "blooming flowers and vibrant...

Do you think it would be weird for a white person to wear a black pride band? I'm never sure about what is "allowed" or not.

Edit: Great. It doesn't support the Apple Watch SE. That kinda sucks.

I think it looks horrible.

Is there a way in watchOS to just have all your notification sounds come through the phone instead of the watch? I feel like there must be an option for this but I can’t find it nor much information about it online unless you start disabling things like wrist detection?

I just want to use my watch (Apple Watch 8) to track exercise/heartrate/sleep/etc but not for it to take over my notifications.

 

[Feek]

Turn off all the notifications settings in the Watch app on your phone or in the settings app on the watch?

 

[PaulM]

Ideally I do want it to mirror notifications though, I just don't want it to take control of playing the notification sound.

What happens if you put the watch to silent but leave the phone as normal?

Thanks for the suggestion, I had tried that but it silences notifications on the phone too, even when the phone isn't in silent mode (only the watch).

What about if you go into the individual app settings on the Watch app and change the notifications from Allow to Send to Notification Centre, does that do what you want?

Ah, thanks! With the messages app set to Custom -> Send to Notification Centre that seems to do what I want. Now I can actually hear notifications again, the Apple Watch one is masked by my tinnitus and for reasons unknown Apple don't let you change the notification sound on the watch (?).
