I must be bored because I want one of these watches
Yes, you can use the watch like a remote. FF, Rewind, skip, etc.
Can't choose a song though.
Anyone get a shipping notification on theirs yet? Mine has said "preparing for shipment" for the last day or two, and still says it will deliver Friday.
Where do you input phone number?https://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US
My Apple order hasn't updated but I used the above site, my phone # and zip code and it found my watch.
Where do you input phone number?
Nope. Does nothing.As the shipment reference number.
You can leave the shipper account field blank.
Nope. Does nothing.
The Now Playing thing is basically like the Control Center controls on the phone, so whatever shows up there I think (but not sure) it shows up on the watch.On things like Spotify or Amazon Music, can the watch be used to give a thumbs up/down to songs?
My order just got moved up from sept 23 to sept 20. Hype.
So my dream of walking into the Apple Store tomorrow and buying an iPhone 7 Plus is dead. They won't have any.
Has anyone heard anything about the Series 2 watch? I want a SS 42mm with the sport band.
Question for those who already are on WatchOS 3 : Are glances still a thing ? I cant find them anywhere.
No - they have been replaced by the Dock. When you hit the side button it'll bring up a dock of apps which you can choose/reorder. Apps in the dock remain in memory (same with apps that are associated with complications on your active watch face) so that information can be displayed quickly to you. You can choose which apps are in the Dock via the Watch app on your phone.
How many apps can there be in the dock at the same time?
I guess there'll be a limited amount of them, right?
I got the OG watch recently. I went to look for watch faces and there's like... nothing. This is pretty crappy.
Seems decent.

Ten.
That's a sensible amount. I'll probably only keep two or three in there though. I need to be able to access the music player within seconds at all times.
What does swiping up do right now with WatchOS3?

Likely there is a limit - I'm not sure about that since I only keep a few in there. How many apps were you planning on throwing in the dock?
Does the Series 1 have the speaker water ejection capability? Or is that only limited to Series 2 watches? I like to take my watches into the shower...
To add to what has been said, you still can do it, but sometimes your speaker will sound tiny after it, until it naturally purges the water.Does the Series 1 have the speaker water ejection capability? Or is that only limited to Series 2 watches? I like to take my watches into the shower...
But you can print up a signature page and leave it on your door if you want.Received my UPS notifications saying I have packages being delivered tomorrow.
Just a warning: these require signature.

You probably could've found that out from reviews. But yeah, developers are not able to create faces. It's just the Apple faces plus complications.

Yup. Apple notified me and emailed me this morning about my Friday delivery.Anyone get a shipping notification on theirs yet? Mine has said "preparing for shipment" for the last day or two, and still says it will deliver Friday.
So I don't have one of these, but I'm thinking of picking one up. Just a Series 1 since I don't need it to be water proof or GPS. Should I even bother trying to go to the Apple Store tomorrow without an appointment or would that be a waste of my time?
Even if you don't have the music player in the dock, the now playing view automatically appears in there if you're playing anything (e.g. I'm playing pocket casts now and the now playing screen has play/pause, volume control and skip back 10s/forward 45s
Wasn't the first view opened when I hit the side button though - I'd like to be able to set that so it's only ever one press away. Or dedicated swipe up for that view instead of control centre. Or have a now playing complication. Or a music focused watch face showing the playing track and direct play/pause button on the face
I was thinking the same, but they didn't expose either one to direct sunlight glare, so the glass/sapphire reflectance difference probably shouldn't matter here.Worth noting that this is a new aluminum model compared to an old steel, and the steel models have always been slightly dimmer.
