Re: Iphone watch

[Anna Dresner]

Hi Jeremy,

You get all bands off the same way. There's a small button on the back of the 
watch in the middle of the place where the band joins the watch. Push in on it, 
and slide the band out of the slot.

To turn off the watch, hold in the side button for a few seconds, until the 
watch vibrates. Then double-tap Power Off.

HTH,
Anna

Iphone watch

[Jeremy Gilley]

Hello all,

I just got my new series 4 today.

Needing some help.

It came with 2 bands. the original and the one I wanted.

In my excitement, I put the wrong band on.

I was able to get one side off, but can't figure how to get the other side
off.

Help please?

Also, I tapped on power off, but it won't shut off and its driving me nuts
lol.

Again, any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Traci, I think you are understanding it correctly.
It kind of says the same thing in the notification part in the watch app on 
your phone.

I am like you, I wish we had more control over this, especially since we are 
not able to change the alert sound or anything like that for notifications on 
the watch.
I am thinking they will expand on notifications on the watch at some time, and 
until then, I will make sure that I give Apple my feedback and request that 
this feature be added.

Chris

Hi,

You can add Battery as a complication on your watch face. You can also add 
Batteries to the Today screen on your iPHone; this shows both your watch and 
iPhone battery status.

 Hello Traci,
 
 You can customize your notifications in great detail using the 
 Notifications options in the Watch app on your phone. If you mirror 
 notifications on your watch, you get them on the watch instead of the 
 phone unless you're using the phone at the time they come in. However, 
 you can configure any notification to play only on the phone.

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[John Panarese]

   Well, if you have alerts going to your watch, by default, the watch will 
make the sound. You have to change that on the watch for the sounds to only 
come from the Phone. I do this myself, so I know it’s possible.

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Traci]

As far as I can figure, I have tweaked all the settings in various ways, with 
the same result. Vibration alert on my watch, no sound on my phone. I'm 
beginning to think this is normal behavior. Is this the way it works for others?

Since my Apple Watch is brand-new, can I call Apple support?

Thank you,

Re: How to check the battery on the watch quickly Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

On a watch, all the features that don’t tell time like calendars, compass, etc 
are called complications. It actually makes sence to call the things you add to 
your watch face complications.

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi Traci and John,

What's always happened for me is that either I'm alerted by the watch or the 
phone of a notification. If I'm notified on the phone, the sound plays. If I'm 
notified on the watch, there's a vibration and, if sounds are on, there's a 
sound. I don't know of any way to get alerted to a notification in both places.

Best,
Anna

Hello Anna
I would like to accomplish this. Do you cover this topic in your book on the 
apple watch? And also, Where do I purchase the book?

  Hi,

  You can add Battery as a complication on your watch face. You can also add 
Batteries to the Today screen on your iPHone; this shows both your watch and 
iPhone battery status.

  Best,
  Anna

  Hi,

  You can add Battery as a complication on your watch face. You can also 
add Batteries to the Today screen on your iPHone; this shows both your watch 
and iPhone battery status.

  Anna

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Traci Duncan]

Ok, I had a chat session with Apple.  He was not sure what was the correct 
behavior for notifications, but he did seem surprise that I wasn’t receiving 
alert tones on my iPhone.

Here is what I have found on Apple’s support knowledge base.

We'll send notifications to the device that you're using, so you can see them 
as soon as possible. 
If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone, instead of 
your Apple Watch. 
If your iPhone is locked or asleep, and your Apple Watch is unlocked and on 
your wrist, you get notifications on your Apple Watch. 
** If I understand this correctly, then we cannot receive alert tones 
notifications on our phone while the watch is on our wrist.**
When your Apple Watch locks or you turn on Do Not Disturb, your notifications 
go to your iPhone instead of your watch.
You’ll see  on your watch face when your Apple Watch locks. If your Apple Watch 
has a passcode, it locks automatically when you aren't wearing it, when it 
loses contact with your skin <https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204665>, or while 
it's charging.
**So how I’m understanding this…  When watch is on the wrist, it is always 
unlocked?  Also, the only way to send notifications to the phone while wearing 
the watch, is to put do not disturb on the watch.  If the watch is off the 
wrist & charging, notification sounds should be heard on the phone.  Am I 
getting this?**

If this is the case, I don’t like this behavior.  I have custom text & alert 
tones for a reason.  I am still wondering if there is something I am missing.

I’ll include the link where I found the notification information.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204791 
<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204791>

BTW, during the support chat, I unpaired & repaired the watch.  Setting it up 
from a back up.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
Traci

Re: How to check the battery on the watch quickly Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Tara Prakash]

Okay, call them complications but why add more complications like
glances? Apple watch could definitely do with less complications
(standard English).

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hello Traci,

You can customize your notifications in great detail using the Notifications 
options in the Watch app on your phone. If you mirror notifications on your 
watch, you get them on the watch instead of the phone unless you're using the 
phone at the time they come in. However, you can configure any notification to 
play only on the phone.

Best,
Anna

Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all,

I am new to the Watch, so not certain about behaviors.  When notifications come 
in, my watch vibrates, which is great.  However, my phone no longer alerts me 
with tones.  Is there a setting to fix this?  For me, this is a big drawback.  
I have custom tones for a reason & if I didn’t want to hear them, I would 
silence my phone.  Lol, last night, my watch was low on battery, so I took it 
off & walked away phone in hand.  I missed a message because there was no alert 
tone.

:) Really hoping the community can inform me on my options.

Thank you,
Traci

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[John Panarese]

  Mute the watch in the actual settings on the watch itself. This will make it 
so only the vibrations occur on the watch. You should then get the audio alerts 
on the phone.

The following information 

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Traci]

:-) I have the watch muted already. I double checked it in the settings on the 
actual watch.

Any other suggestions?

 Hi all,
 
 I am new to the Watch, so not certain about behaviors.  When notifications 
 come in, my watch vibrates, which is great.  However, my phone no longer 
 alerts me with tones.  Is there a setting to fix this?  For me, this is a 
 big drawback.  I have custom tones for a reason & if I didn’t want to hear 
 them, I would silence my phone.  Lol, last night, my watch was low on 
 battery, so I took it off & walked away phone in hand.  I missed a message 
 because there was no alert tone.
 
 :) Really hoping the community can inform me on my options.
 
 Thank you,
 Traci

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[John Panarese]

   There is also a setting on the iPhone side of the watch app that says 
something about the watch mirroring the iPhone. You might want to turn that off.

 Hello Traci,
 
 You can customize your notifications in great detail using the 
 Notifications options in the Watch app on your phone. If you mirror 
 notifications on your watch, you get them on the watch instead of the 
 phone unless you're using the phone at the time they come in. However, you 
 can configure any notification to play only on the phone.
 
 Best,
 Anna

Re: Alerts, iPhone & Watch

[Traci]

Hello, I looked in the various notification & message settings in the Apple 
Watch app… so far, I am unsuccessful at having vibration alerts on my wrist and 
sound alerts on my phone. Does anyone know if this particular thing is possible?

Thank you,
Traci
