Make ordering an Apple Watch a positive experience

On April 10th I ordered an Apple Watch. I received a confirmation email of my order and then .... nothing. Well guys, you could have turned my order into a more Apple-like experience. Why would you not allow me to get more delivery info (e.g. latest week number for delivery) by letting me submit order details? Or why not send me an update mail every week, with more info on my new purchase? In that way you don't only inform me about the greatness of my purchase but also turn me into an Apple Watch ambassador. The good news: it is not too late yet!

If they ever decide to to that, I hope it's opt in. The last thing I need or want is more marketing email, even from Apple. Once I get my Apple Watch, I will decide how great it is (or isn't) and tell people accordingly. I'm not going to try to talk anyone into buying something I haven't yet used.

Health App Data Source Order With Apple Watch-

I discovered a very large difference between the number of steps counted by Health App and my other step tracking app Pacer. Pacer was indicating I had 10,000 steps while HealthKit was reporting about 6000 steps.
I then realized this was happening because of the order my data sources were for steps. The order was:
Apple Watch
iPhone
The problem is, the Apple watch does not track cycling as steps while the iPhone does. Because of this, when the Apple Watch is first in the data source list for steps it doesn’t count those cycling “steps”. I find this odd since Health App should be smart enough to merge the results; if the watch is reporting no steps and the iPhone is reporting 4000 steps, it should add the iPhone’s steps to the total.
But, if I go in and change the priority order to:
iPhone
Apple Watch
then, HealthKit reports the correct 10,000 steps.
The strange thing is, if I’m not carrying my iPhone and have my watch on, HealthKit does properly merge the watch's steps into Health App even though the Apple Watch is second on the priority list.
I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it’s important to make sure your data sources are in the correct order. I’ve gone in and made sure my iPhone is in the first position on all my stats.

Today I did a full restore thanks to this post Health app has crashed, data gone. and some spare time to sit down and do it.
After re-adding the apps to share their data the Health app appears to be working as it was before for me. Hope this helps.

Apple Watch Pre Order Ship Date?

I pre-ordered the apple watch at 12:05 am PST. My delivery date says May 13th-May 27th...even though I thought it was supposed to arrive on April 24th. I am actually moving May 15th, so I'm not sure if I should change my shipping location? Any suggestions or anyone have some sort of information regarding ship/delivery times that I don't know about?
I've tried to use apple customer support but there's no options to click for the apple watch yet..so I thought I'd try here first.

I'm kinda in the same boat, I'm gonna be gone for a month when is says it's supposed to ship. Here's my plan, set a reminder for four (4) days before you leave, if the order still hasn't shipped, switch the shipping address then to your new address. If you're not at your new location by the time they send the watch and can't sign for it, they will try a few more times then return to sender. Just a thought...

Apple watch pre - order status?

hey guys, i pre ordered my apple watch as soon as the pre orders came available and have a shipping time of 24/4 - 8/5. My status is still "processing items" just wondering if anyones has updated as initially the money for the pre order was held aside as a "pending authorisation" in my bank account and today that money is back in my account? but my online order seems to be fine and haven't had any notification from apple about any problems?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY. I've been looking everywhere for the answer

Apple watch pre order

DO Apple take the full amount from your bank when you pre order an apple watch?

They normally only charge when the product is shipped.

Apple Watch Band too small. Will there be a XL size?

As I looked through the options for the Apple Watch I was really pumped to get one. This was until I saw Apples band size chart. Immediately I realized that the band sizes would never fit my wrist. It is frustrating to think that Apple has alienated a whole group of customers because they decided not to make a XL Apple Watch Band. I guess my question to Apple is will there be a XL Apple Watch Band?
Its frustrating to think that I may not be able to pre order my device because of small bands.

I have read several comments like this - even mentioned it when I went to the Apple Store for my try-on. (BTW my wrist problem was that mine is around 170mm, which is at one end of the Leather Loop and the other end of the other size - glad I did not pre-order the larger band like I planned.) Anyway, the two people I spoke to said that (1) yes they have heard many comments/complaints about no larger sizes and (2) they have not heard of any plans by Apple at this point in manufacturing larger bands. However, they did say that there will be bands coming out by third party manufacturers and then (and I) would be very surprised if no one made an effort to fill this market if Apple does not decide to.

Creative way to give backordered Apple watch as a gift

Hi Everyone,
I ordered the Apple watch for my husband for his 50th birthday. Unfortunately, it will not be here on time.
Anybody have any creative ideas for how to give a gift that's backordered? I don't want to just print out the receipt or a picture of the watch.
My best idea right now is to put a watchband around an actual apple and wrap it up in a box. If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!

Here's what I did, similar situation:
I ordered an Apple Watch for a Mother's Day present, May 10th. However, the earliest ship date is got is May 13th, and that's within a two week range. So I ordered an extra charger which shipped the very next day. So now at least I have a nice box with the Apple logo that says, 'Magnetic charging cable' for an Apple Watch. She will be thrilled.

Apple watch workout is way off on calories

I've used the apple watch workout app and the approximate calories burned is way off from what it should be. Is there any way to calibrate it so it will be more accurate? It shows only about half the calories burned that I know it should be.

Hi poolmanrob,
Yes, there is a way to calibrate your Apple Watch to improve the results shown in Workout and Activity. By following the steps in the article linked to below, your Apple Watch will then be calibrated.
Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support
I also recommend going through the best practices outlined below to ensure you get the best Workout measurement.
Get the best measurement
Your Apple Watch will estimate your measurements during workouts based on the information that you entered during setup, but you can further improve its accuracy using these tips:
Wearing your Apple Watch regularly can improve the accuracy of the Activity and Workout apps.
Choose the Workout that best matches what you’re doing. For example, if you're running on a treadmill, choose Indoor Run.
For GPS accuracy when you walk, run, or cycle outdoors, select the appropriate Workout and bring your iPhone. This will also help calibrate the accelerometer in Apple Watch for times when you don’t have GPS, such as during treadmill workouts or when you're running outside without your phone.
To get the most accurate heart rate measurement when you use Workout, make sure your Apple Watch fits snugly on top of your wrist. The heart rate sensor should stay close to your skin.
You can also use another heart rate monitoring device, such as a chest strap. To pair an external heart rate monitor with your Apple Watch, tap the Settings app on the Home screen, then tap Bluetooth and select it under Health Devices. Learn more about the Apple Watch heart rate sensor, its accuracy, and its limitations.

Have a good one,

HT204517 Does Apple Watch measure flights climbed?

Was wondering if you need to have your iPhone with you when walking up flights of stairs in order for Apple Watch to record flights climbed. Flights climbed is measured in the health app on iPhone. Does anyone know?

The Apple Watch does not have a barometric sensor. You need an iPhone 6/6+.

Apple Watch calorie burn

MY Apple Watch is showing a much lower calorie burn, about half, compared to equipment at my gym and other apps such as Runkeeper. Why is this? I was expecting a difference but not that much. For example of the cross trainer I work out for 40 minutes with my heart beat over 170, the cross trainer says 55o calories, the Runkeeper app is similar and the watch was 240 calories.

Apple Watch actual shipping time?

When I ordered my Apple Watch is says is will be shipped in 4-6 weeks, the second time I checked it changed to shipping in June. I have heard some people says the actual deliver day will be earlier than displayed, I wonder if it's true. I know it is dumb to ask but I actually have to travel out of the states for couple of mouths, which means if I cannot get it before June I have to ship it to someone else's house to keep it for me. Btw I really want to have it before I leave though.

It has been announced that there is going to be a real delay in the delivery dates for the Apple watches until the June time frame.

Is it possible to change the display order of Apple TV applications on my home screen? i.e. move Watch ESPN toward the top, move the WSJ to the bottom, etc.

Is it possible to change the display order of Apple TV applications on my home screen? i.e. move Watch ESPN toward the top, move the WSJ to the bottom, etc. That way you won't have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to access an applicaton you use most often.

Yes. Just select and hold until the app starts to jiggle and then you can move it.
