Apple Watch owners thread

ianeb

Not really sure why Apple haven't allowed a watch face section to happen on the app store.... If the pre-set faces are the only ones that are going to be allowed, that is a shame.  Developers could add some really nice designs.

Also, there seems to be an abundance of Apple Watch threads now open, any chance a Moderator could tidy up a bit?  I must have clicked through 6 or 7 catching up this morning, it's a little crazy

I think Lee is filling the time waiting for his Watch by creating new threads!

Actually, this forum is less crazy than the iPhone forum after a launch.

I counted 14 in the top half of the 'Wearables' forum!

Owners thread, battery stats, questions/problems and delivery/ordered threads are probably all that are needed?

No we need an Apple Watch Sub directory which I've asked for

I think all the threads are relevant to what's being posted and keeps everything separate, nothing worse trying to find answers trawling through loads of posts

I agree with Stiggy, it is still less crazy than when the new iPhones were released, maybe after the dust has settled a Mod can clean up

Got to be honest i agree with this. I can imagine post in the future for What's your fav watch face when they allow new ones to be created / Get your watch face out for the lads / Band swaps / etc

Cool, if they are going to create a sub-category that would be much better.  Currently 14 threads within the 'wearables' category is just a bit messy! I have OCD, sorry

A lot of excitement when a new product releases so its understandable, I was by no means moaning, was just a thought

Good article on that here:

Interesting read, and it makes sense I guess.  I would rather better battery than colourful images displaying the time!

I followed a link on that page to a discussion on MacRumors regarding the fact 11 time faces were originally posted on the Apple site, yet only 9 were on the watch when released.  The site has been updated to show 9.  The other 2 were the Photo face and the Time-lapse face.  Someone contacted Apple on chat and was told there are more faces not shown on the site that will be released after launch.  So, who knows.

Isn't that what the owners thread is for?

Not a problem if the thread opener updates the first post with FAQ's etc, too many thread syndrome going on at the moment...

It is in need of some consolidation I agree, @leebroath has requested the Apple Watch gets its own sub-category so hopefully it will get sorted soon
