Poll: ** The official Apple Watch Series 3 thread **

I'm sure it will come after updates and as I'm wanting a fitness watch that can double as a work and function time piece where you can change the straps quickly I think I'm sold

Yeah. If you read my first posts when i got it i complained something rotten about a lot of the things i didn't like but whilst i initially wanted a fitness/activity watch and the Garmin is better for that, i've loved the extra functionality that the Apple Watch offers.

Being able to go for a run without your phone
Being able to narrate a text message (great for in the car/when running as don't have to mess about finding your phone/looking at the screen)
Being able to check emails quickly etc

Is it still 14 day return policy on these? I want to buy one for my mrs but want to get the timing right so if she doesn't like it after a few days she can return it, but I don't miss the boat on getting on in time for Christmas.

 

[Martynt74]

Check Amazon.

I bought the Garmin from there and the return date was showing as 31st January 2018 so Christmas delivery times seem to have kicked in.

Cheers, never thought of that and I'm a Prime customer. They let me return a £1000 QNAP NAS two years after I ordered it as it failed and they didn't really question it.

So I'm after an Apple Watch - Is there any point in waiting until Black Friday to get one? Or do you have to buy direct from Apple?

 

[Martynt74]

Get hold of an app called Healthview it will show your steps or distance via a complication on any of the watch screens.

It works really well

Cheers all

I downloaded Health View and it seems decent. However i've noticed the complication doesn't always update. I have to click on it to open the app, which then isn't always updated. I think click into the Steps section and it all updates itself.

Does it do this with you?

Anyone using their series 3 for sleep tracking? I usually take mine off at night to charge but it’s still usually has 80% left. I could sleep with it on and just charge it while in the shower each day.

Any app recommendations?

 

[Martynt74]

Someone recommended AutoSleep to me. It’s £2.99 but seems to be decent.

I've downloaded that - I don't normally wear my watch to bed but I'm going to give it a try. I'll go back to the routine of charging for half an hour or so before bed and then again in the morning.

Just leave healthview open in the dock on the watch and it should keep your steps etc all up to date.

Any Black Friday offers coming up on these does anyone know?

Cheers

 

[Feek]

I don't remember seeing any in previous years from Apple. You might find other retailers offering something though.

£30 off at John Lewis. They should price-match any better offers too.

Spotted and ordered.

Noticed JL had Bose QC35's for £270, tempted...

 

[b0rn2sk8]

£20 gift card on S1 @ Apple. Lame...

Good spot!

Do they only price match high street prices or bigger web selling stores?

 

[ChrisD.]

Cheers, just ordered one for my mrs for Christmas.
