Poll: *** The official Apple Watch Series 9 (and Ultra 2) thread (it has double tap and everything!) ***

Following up on the above, is there a clear indicator that the wifi connection is actually working? What's the best thing I can try and use on the watch when the phone is disconnected to see if the connection is active?

My older gen 7 ss lte just auto-switched to ltr as soon as it was out of range of wifi. i did not have to do anything, The same for my new ultra 2

Thanks, I managed to sort it, I had to turn the iPhone completely off for the wi-fi on the watch to kick in, I thought turning off wi-fi and Bluetooth on the iPhone would disconnect it but it doesn't.

Is there any way to make WhatsApp notifications more visible on the Ultra?

Text messages have a different vibration and there's an unread complication but WhatsApp messages just come through exactly the same as all other notifications and there is no complication so often miss them...

Hopefully don’t get in trouble for this.

Here.

Go through topcashback.

I can confirm it’s 20% on new credit applications. You then just use the code, and can PIF.

20% off still working for new customers applying for Very credit.
You don't even need to use their credit after applying - you can still pay by another card.
Hoping the 7.5% cashback will work with this too.

This will make some people happy.

I found certain jackets would swipe faces when I didn't want them to, I won't be enabling this, I prefer the new 'press, swipe, press' method.

Is there a way to turn off 'tap for segment' when doing activities? I've had it a couple of times now where the watch has created segments during a run because it has touched clothing.

I love that they've added Snoopy to the watch faces

Looking at getting the Nomad Titanium band for my Ultra 2 (if I can find one!). Does the magnetic clasp cause interference with the compass?

We go again.

Finally upgraded from the S4 to the UW2 thanks to the MM here. No where near as large as I was expecting either.

We go again.

You’d be better off with a smaller watch. That’s far too big for your wrist.

Or I’ll just enjoy my watch and you can continue to bite your tongue.

For whats its worth I thought it looked ok. Very tempted with an Ultra but keep resisting as I don’t need one.

I went larger with my band second time round which has made a difference in terms of general day to day wear.

No problem, you clearly saw my other post, I’m fed up biting my tongue and I think it looks utterly ridiculous, you carry on enjoying it though. My opinion matters only to me.

On the plus side if he gets attacked by a gang of thugs it doubles as a Captain America shield.

AWU2 users - when running with GPS and listening to bluetooth audio at the same time (stored on the watch, not streaming over cellular) - what's the battery drain like? For example, what would an hour of that roughly drain?

Is the very thing still working?
