Poll: ** The Apple Watch Series 2 Thread **

Guys I have my phone set to mirror my iphone so why when my phone is on the desk do I see it lighting up when I get a whatsapp? Both devices vibrate but surely the watch should vibrate and the phone shouldn't notify when my phone is on my wrist?

If i understand correctly, that is right. When you have the watch on, the phone won't light up with notifications. At least mine doesnt with whatever settings I have

 

[Andybtsn]

Yeah, but my phone is which isn't right

Has anyone updated to 3.1.1?

Loads of reports of it bricking watches. It seems to have been been pulled before I even found out that it was available

 

[roman59]

I must have been one of the lucky ones, no issues installing the update on my Series 2.

Cheers all

I am considering on of these once Spotify can run stand alone on the watch, does anyone know if this is in the pipe line or not?

A quick google throws up spotify's own forum pages but I can find anything else!!

Two very full days of use and I'm only down to 36% on my series 2. I normally charge every night but I was away from home yesterday and didn't take a charger with me.

Grr so tempted. How are people finding the S2?

 

[roman59]

Cant fault mine to be honest, much better battery life, brighter screen plus the waterproofing is great for me as I windsurf & paddle board too.

Cheers all

I'm still very happy with my S2.

The battery life is a nice surprise. I charged mine Thursday morning and got the 10% battery notification last night at about 6pm.

So my GF is back from Malaysia for Xmas and just gave me my early Xmas present. A series 2 42mm Nike in grey.

I may or may not have cried

Rift or Apple Watch 2...argh

Got my 42mm S2 SS yesterday finally! Absolutely love it already. Notifications are ace with the haptic feedback. I can already see myself using Apple Pay more than I have previously now thats it's on my wrist rather than using my iPhone.

My only slight issue is I've been having issues with the Facebook Messenger app refusing to load, anyone else had problems?

 

[roman59]

Open it up on your iPhone first, then try it on the watch.

That's sorted it Thanks. Tried that before and it didn't work.

The three times I've tried it with the Watch it failed and I had to use my phone. It didnt even detect it.

 

[Feek]

Sounds like you're either doing something wrong or it's a hardware fault. Maybe a dumb question but you are double tapping the button so the watch goes into payment mode, not just holding your watch near the reader and expecting it to work?

 

[Junglist]

No. No I have not been doing that! That explains it

 

[Feek]

Oops

I'm worried I've got a problem with my Apple Watch. I've noticed that under certain light and angles the screen on my 42mm SS looks like it has a load of little micro scratches all over it. I'm wondering if it could be a manufacturing defect or is it normal?

The screen is Sapphire Glass on the Stainless Steel models and I can't see how these small scratches have happened over 5 days of light use?

Anyone able to advise me or should I get it looked by appointment at the Apple Store?
