Useful tips

New Apple series Watch Series 3 with cellular communication. The good news is that watchOS 4, operating system Apple Smartwatch is one of the most comprehensive on the market. This results in a steep learning curve, but there is a lot of room for customization. And things will only get better when WatchOS 5 is unveiled, likely at WWDC 2018 in June. We've put together 20 essential useful things like Tips and Tricks Apple Watch, to make smartwatches even more personal, including improvements made in watchOS 4 and subsequent updates. From adding music to trimming unwanted notifications and even taking screenshots.

Apple Watch Tips and Tricks: Organize and use your Apple App Dock.

I picked an apple a large number of users who enjoy using watchOS 3 and now you can view all open applications by pressing the side button. You should make full use of this docking station by placing it in your most popular apps. For what? Because these are the apps that your watch will prioritize when updating information and background.
You can customize the dock in the companion view app. It can be set to use the most recent apps you've used, a bit like multitasking on an iPhone. Or you can turn it into a proper dock with your favorite apps.
If you choose the latter, you can easily configure which apps you want there and they will appear in the list. If you want to set up a dock on your watch, you can do so by tapping the side button, then 3D touching the app and tapping " Keep in Dock».

No. 2. Track your sleep.

Apple doesn't offer its own built-in sleep tracking, which means it can't quite match Fitbit, Garmin and others offering full control for security straight out of the box. But luckily, there are many apps that can bring the Watch feature. We chose best apps sleep tracker for Apple Watch, so you don't have to search the App Store for it.

No. 3. See time discreetly.

If you want to check the time without lifting your wrist, you can slowly flip the Digital Crown up and it will gradually light up the screen so you can see inside rather than completely lighting up the watch screen. Sorry, original Apple owners Watch Series 1, this one will not work for you.

No. 4. Control music playback.

If you updated to watchOS 4.3, you can control music playback on Apple HomePod and iPhone directly from Watch. Certainly, iPhone users might have briefly done this after first launching watchOS 4, although it was quickly removed after streaming music was added to smartwatches via watchOS 4.1.
However, many users with control and HomePod launch can now select tunes, change the volume, and skip everything with their hands.

No. 5. Changing the sound volume in AirPods.

If you want to change the volume on AirPods without taking out your iPhone, you have to ask Siri. Hidden to say the least, but if you have an Apple Watch, you're in luck.
When you play music on a Watch running watchOS 4 or later, whether it's your iPhone or Watch, you can glance at the watch to see what the " Now Playing" All you have to do is rotate the Digital Crown to raise and lower the volume.

No. 6. Take a screenshot.

All Apple watches can take screenshots when you hold down the Digital Crown and the action button underneath it at the same time. The images are then saved to your camera frame on your iPhone. However, this value is not set by default. To enable screenshots, go to the Watch companion app, then go to the " Are common" There you can enable or disable the inclusion of screenshots.

One of the things Apple is really pushing with using Apple Watch are bracelets. There are new bracelets released every couple of months, with new colors to suit the season and your wardrobe. That's why we recommend taking a look at what's out there and taking advantage of the customization options. And if you don't want to pour cash into Apple's bank, there's always third party options. However, be warned that they may not correspond.

No. 8. Unlock your watch from your iPhone.

If you haven't done this in the process initial setup, you can still unlock your Apple Watch and iPhone at the same time without having to take away your passcode (if you've set up one of them). To do this, go to the Watch companion app, where you can enable or disable the " Unlock from iPhone».

No. 9. Turn on elevated heart rate notifications.

Apple is taking heart health more seriously, and one of the new features - as well as heart rate - is a notification when your heart rate is higher than it should be.
You can enable it in the heart rate section of the companion app. When you enable it, you will be asked to choose a threshold between 100bpm and 150bpm. Your Apple Watch will only alert you when you pass the threshold and appear to be inactive for about 10 minutes. Additionally, it will look for signs that your elevated heart rate is a more long-term problem, rather than a temporary upheaval caused by something terrible - like a horror movie.

No. 10. Connect your workouts.

Are you an athlete? The Apple Watch has let you down so far, but things have gotten better, and in watchOS 4 you can now combine workouts, meaning less time rubbing those sweaty fingers around the screen.

Now you can enable automatic start in pause mode simply by heading to the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, heading to My Watch, and then selecting Workout. Here you will be able to switch to “Start Auto Pause”.

No. 14. Checking data usage.

If you have the Apple Watch 3 series with LTE, you can monitor your data usage. You never know, something will tip you off about your monthly plan. Alternatively, it's just to see how little Apple data Watch really uses.
You'll need to head to the companion app, looking at the cellular menu option to see the information. However, once you do this, you will know how much data you have used in the current period and which applications are using this data.

The Apple Watch has a decent place to put apps, emails and music. If you want to see how much storage you need, go to the Apple Watch companion app, go to the " Are common" and then select " Usage" Here you can get a breakdown of how many apps are taking up space on your watch.

If you find yourself constantly squinting at your watch wrist to read notifications on your Apple Watch, you can change the text size to make it easier for you to see. Just go to " Settings»> « Brightness and text size", then adjust the text size to whatever suits your needs.

Starting with Series 2, Apple Watch is waterproof and includes a blowout mode to get rid of water lurking after you go for a swim. If you want to manually use this feature, swipe up from the Home screen to view Center Apple management Watch. Find the water drop icon and click on it.
You will then be asked to turn the digital crown over to remove the water.

If you press and hold the " Ping iPhone", your iPhone's LED flash will blink, giving you a visual view of the phone in case the speaker is too muted.

Apple Watch Tips and Tricks #20. Use images as wallpaper on the default viewing screen.

By default, Apple Watch selects images from the " Favorites" on your iPhone - something we hadn't thought of using before. So go ahead and tag some images in iOS using the heart button at the bottom.

Advantages and disadvantages

Is it worth buying this model hours, because by today's standards it is slightly outdated? So, let's highlight the strong and weak sides devices.

short operating time in active mode;
weak personal data protection system;
impossibility of use under water.

Conclusion

The gadget is definitely suitable for people living at a fast pace. It will help out at a business meeting, sports training, and while traveling. The characteristics of the Apple Watch 1 Series 38 mm and the Apple Watch 1 Series 42 mm are almost identical; the user only selects the dial size. To date, the second and third series of smart watches with expanded functionality have been released. However, Apple Watch Series 1 is still in demand and beloved by fans of the brand.

Apple Watch Series 1 38mm

World Famous Apple company behind last years updated not only the line of mobile devices, but also a series of smart devices, releasing smart watches Apple Watch 3 episodes. The third generation cannot boast of a complete and radical improvement, but it has acquired several auxiliary features and options in comparison with the 1st and 2nd versions. The article will produce detailed review Apple Watch Series 3.

Description

The Apple Watch Series 3 has taken several steps forward in comparison with previous solutions. This is where their innovation lies.

The screen remained at the same level.
In comparison with the first model, the second and third received protection from water. The first line only offered the option of splash protection.
Removable straps for Apple Watch 3 remain the same and are available in the same materials - silicone, metal, nylon, leather. Therefore, it will not be difficult for the user to change the strap according to his own preferences.
The processor instead of S1P in the first model and S2 in the second is S3 (with two cores).
The difference lies in the fact that expanded communication capabilities are offered; along with Wi-Fi, GPS and BLUETOOTH, you can optionally use LTE.
As before, there is no camera, but the speaker and microphone remain working, and the device is still compatible with devices running iOS 8.3 and newer devices.
The battery capacity has also increased. In the first series it was 205 mAh, in the second – 273, and in the new product – 279.
In terms of dimensions, in comparison with the previous model, everything remained in place (38.6 * 33.3 * 11.4 / 42.5 * 36.4 * 11.4), however, the first model was somewhat different.
What else is different about the new watch? Of course, in bulk. In the new gadget this figure is 42/53 units, while in the previous model it was 25/30, and in the first generation – 25/28.

Based on these differences, the functions of the Apple Watch Series 3 remain the same, especially when compared with the second series. The main difference is the potential availability of a cellular version. However, such variations have not yet officially gone on sale in the Russian Federation.

Release date: March 2018.

The “Spartan” kit that comes in the box with it will tell you how to use the device. Here's what it includes:

instructions for the correct operation of the device, with the help of which the correct settings become available to the user;
charger;
Category 1A plug;
silicone strap with an additional clasp (with a different length);
related documents.

Design

Designer ones are also pleasing Apple capabilities Watch Series 3. In terms of aesthetic parameters, the new product has the maximum resemblance to its predecessor – Series 2. It is represented by the same aluminum case in a rectangular shape. There are rounded corners and smooth edges.

On the right side there are 2 buttons. One of them is equipped with an oblong shape, while the other is made in the shape of a circle. It is also a wheel that can be scrolled in order to solve a certain range of tasks. There is also protective glass to increase the safety of the device.

The comparison shows that the screen size remained at the same level (42 mm and 38 mm diagonally). On the back you can find a heart rate sensor, as well as buttons that release the strap. There is a round ceramic zone around it. On the left are the holes for the microphone and speaker. In terms of thickness, everything remained at the same level as in the second series. At the same time, the company continues to expand its selection of straps.

Screen and controls

Is the Apple Watch Series 3 worth buying? Definitely yes, especially if you look at the display of this device. In essence, it remains the same: it is an OLED screen equipped with a brightness of 1000 units, and a special olephobic coating makes it possible to read the image from the screen even in bright sunshine. The glass material itself practically does not get dirty.

The black color of the display makes the transition from the dark part of the screen to the rounded edges of the body almost imperceptible. The resolution is 272*340 pixels, as well as 312*390 pixels, respectively, for the 38 mm and 42 mm models. All this makes the device convenient to use.

As for control, the user can interact comfortably with the proposed device. In just a few hours, you can remember the necessary actions, as well as the watch settings “for yourself”, choosing the best applications for the Apple Watch Series 3. There are three options for controlling the device in question.

Digital crown. By scrolling, you can read notifications, zoom in and out of individual icons.
Push-button option. If you press the key once, the recent programs manager option will open; if you do this two short times, contactless payment will occur; one long press will turn off the new product or allow you to make an emergency call.
Screen control. Horizontal elements lead to switching dials, the upper ones – to opening the list of notifications, the lower ones – to the functioning of the “control center”. Why are they needed? For example, to turn on the flashlight, lock the device, view the battery charge, turn off the sound mode, etc.

Based on the above reasons, you can decide whether it is worth taking it smart device for everyday or regular use.

Functions

When considering the main characteristics of the Apple Watch Series 3, you should pay attention to the main functionality and capabilities of the device.

Activity. This option allows you to install extensions, configure programs, and create a Dock. The application provides statistics and dynamics of user activity.
Dials. The programs are presented in 20 varieties, but the most interesting of them are the following: “SIRI” - information on the presence of traffic jams and the current weather, “Photo” - helps select a suitable screensaver, “kaleidoscope” - selection of a user-friendly dial, “Activity” » to set up calorie counting and determine the number of hours in motion.
Workout. These are the common features of this unit. They allow him to adapt to a certain type of exercise and read information from sensors.
Activity rings. The above capabilities are not all that these devices can do. This category includes “Calories”, “Exercise”, “Watches”. Within this option there is an option called “ Smart alarm clock”, giving users the opportunity to wake up comfortably and on time.
Heart rate tracking. IN automatically the device measures indicators such as heart rate, pressure, activity level and compares them with the norm.
Without a smartphone. Due to the fact that the device is highly compatible with a smartphone, it is usually used in conjunction with it. However, it is possible separate use. In this case, the owner can receive notifications, listen to music, respond to messages, and receive calls.

Many potential buyers I'm wondering if this watch is waterproof or not? It turns out that you can take a shower and swim in the pool with them. It is recommended to remove the device from your hand if you plan to dive to a depth of more than 50 m. It is also necessary to rinse the device with water after it has come into contact with foam or salt.

Straps

The indisputable advantage is the offer from the manufacturer huge amount straps made of steel, leather, nylon. There are literally dozens of them. The most common styles are: sports bracelet(consists of nylon, equipped with Velcro for secure fixation), as well as a silicone product at an affordable price. For extravagant people, variations in leather and metal are offered.

Autonomous operation

The manufacturer itself reports the ability of the device to operate without auxiliary recharging for 18 hours. In active use mode, the battery can only last 3 hours. How to charge the watch? It's best to do this at night.

How to Restart Apple Watch 3

Many users are concerned about the question of how to reboot the Apple Watch 3. There are several ways, but we will look at the most common one. It represents a sequence of actions.

Press the “Digital Crown” key, and also click on “Power” at the same time.
Hold for 10 seconds.
Wait until the logo symbol appears on the display.

Today I want to tell and answer the question: - Why do you need an Apple Watch at all? Some say that this is all a “show-off”, others firmly believe that this is a very useful device. All conclusions are drawn by me from personal experience communication with this cool device.

I’ve been using this miracle smartwatch for about a week, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t need it at all. Despite the fact that I am an avid fan of Apple products, this is a miracle, but in practice it is not a miracle at all. It may seem strange to many why such an expensive and stylish thing turns out to be completely unnecessary. Now I will try to highlight in detail all the shortcomings of the Apple Watch that I noticed in such a short time.

We will discuss the following points:

1. Disadvantages and disadvantages of Apple Watch.
2. Apple Watch without iPhone.
3. Differences and capabilities of Apple Watch from regular watches.
4. Conclusions.

1. The main disadvantages and disadvantages of the Apple Watch.

1. After purchasing and first starting the watch without Availability of iPhone, you won’t even be able to fully use it as a watch. You need to go through the activation process only by synchronizing the pair - the watch with the iPhone.

2. Apple Watch, for its full operation and to perform all functions, must be constantly located next to your phone. And the phone must be connected to the mobile Internet or via Wi-Fi.

3. Apple Watch communicates with the phone via bluetooth, which discharges faster clock and the phone itself, which already copes well with a decrease in the charging rate. Constant connection via bluetooth kills the batteries of both devices.

4. When you receive a call on your watch, the sound is sent to the speaker, which makes it possible for everyone around you to hear your conversation with the subscriber! In principle, a conversation cannot be secret! You can, of course, buy Bluetooth headphones. Then, to talk, we put the phone in our pocket, put the watch on our hand and bluetooth headphones. I think this is a very complicated kit that really won’t make your life any easier. And why does this kit even need another intermediate component - the Apple Watch? Bluetooth headphones can work directly with your phone!

5. The display itself touch screen The watch gets very tacky when touched with your fingers and needs to be wiped off constantly.

6. The watch must be used very carefully; it is resistant to water and scratches.

7. There is no way to type on such a small display. If you receive a message on your phone, you will see a notification on your watch, but you will be able to respond to it only from the suggested template options or using your voice, which is converted into words. What if it’s noisy where you are and your watch can’t make out all your words? We will take out the phone (then why do we need a watch?) or try 100 times to tell the watch the required response to a message.

8. Our beloved Viber, unlike a regular message, sends notifications to the watch, but you cannot respond to it through the watch; you need to take out your phone.

9 . Charging the watch, if you use all the functions of the watch, will last less than a day; for business people, maybe even half a day. Nice watch that work for less than a day? What if you're on a hike? Carry with you external batteries(), and put it on charge. If you put the watch in economy mode (turning off all functions except displaying the watch face), then it will show current time for up to 72 hours. What nonsense? A watch that only lasts three days on battery!!!

10. Enable camera mode via watch on iPhone. Explain why!? The watch is on my wrist, I take out the phone with one hand, point it at what I want to take a picture of, I see it all on the watch display and can click take a picture. Under what conditions might this be useful? And how to press a button if you are holding the phone in your hands?

11 . Plenty of photos on the small display on the watch, very required function in hours. Only 75 megabytes are allocated for photos on the watch. Agree that this is very little! In such a small volume, you won’t believe it, you can save as many as 15 pictures!

12. Shazam on the clock. The Apple Watch still uses the Internet through the phone, and if there is no Internet or phone, then the program completely loses its meaning on the watch. Again, the clock acts as an extra link in the chain of this procedure.

13. Payment for services and goods using payment Apple systems Pay, works without iPhone. Your card data is stored in the watch and transmitted via an NFC chip. For example, you went for a run and wanted to buy water by placing your watch on the terminal. I just can’t understand how I still lived without this function? But the most important thing is that this opportunity is available only in the USA and Canada! This feature is not available to residents of the rest of the world, and it is not clear when it will become available. I am generally silent about the CIS countries (third world).

14. The watch does not want to work with iPad, iPod and Mac computers and phones from other manufacturers. Apple Watch is exclusively compatible with iPhone.

15. Apple Watch is not a standalone device. There is no point in buying a watch if you don't have an iPhone.

16. If you don't take your iPhone out for a run, you'll limit your ability to use the watch's available features. Without a phone with GPS module, the watch will not be able to determine the location and measure the distance traveled.

17. Apple Watch has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities, but they can only connect to an iPhone or headset.

18. Big size charging and it is individual only for this watch.

2. What can an Apple Watch do without an iPhone?

1 . Show time. Without an iPhone, you can't check the time is correct!

2 . Setting an alarm, timer, stopwatch, events, etc.

3. View photos and listen to music (up to 250 songs - 2GB of memory) on your watch using wireless headphones.

4. Operation of the activity program. Track your activity, heartbeat, lost calories, pulse measurement. They show how many steps you have walked, but they cannot show the footage of the distance. All data will be stored on the watch and, when synchronized with the phone, will be recorded on the phone itself.

5. Apple Pay and Passbook. All data information will be added after synchronization.

6. No internet connection, GPS or Siri. You will not be able to launch “Mail”, “Weather”, “Maps” and other applications that use the Internet.

7. Have an app Apple Remote, which makes it possible to manage Apple console TV.

3. Differences and capabilities of Apple Watch from regular watches.

1. They have a beautiful and attractive design.

2. Allows you to monitor your health.

3. They determine the weather.

4. Location determination.

5. Ability to change watch faces.

6. Checking time accuracy via the Internet.

4. Conclusions.

I think that the Apple Watch is needed in order to take out the iPhone less often.

The main difference between the Apple Watch and the Iphone is that the Iphone cannot be worn on the wrist, and it has much more memory and capabilities! In addition, an Apple Watch without an iPhone turns into nothingness, comparable to cheap Chinese devices that perform the same functions.

First of all, Apple Watch is a device for monitoring human health and activity. I think whoever likes to wear a watch would not refuse one. But the majority, including I, see no reason to buy beautiful watch around $400-700. A watch that needs to be charged every day, constantly wiped from fingerprints, afraid of scratching and getting caught in heavy rain or falling into water. To use all the functionality, carry your phone at all times.

In a word, Apple has done nothing extraordinary for such a lot of money. Finally, I will say that a watch should be a watch and work for a long time without recharging.

Video. Why do you need an Apple Watch? Disadvantages and Advantages. Is it worth buying?

List of all applications

If you get lost in the cloud of application icons, replace it with a convenient list. Press firmly on home screen and select “As a list” - installed programs will be listed in alphabetical order. This new feature watchOS 4.

Smart display

When you raise your wrist to look at the time, the system will show up-to-date information: upcoming events from the calendar, news headlines, changes in stock prices, weather and much more. This is the Siri smart display in watchOS 4.

Battery saving

There are many options to save battery life on your watch: turn off notifications, sounds, Siri, etc. The most unobvious way is to experiment with colors. The watch works with an OLED display, so the black pixels on the screen are not backlit, which means they do not waste battery power. The more black there is on the screen, the less charge it needs. Set simple black and white dials (Numerals or X-Large) and make the menu black and white (in the settings, “General” - “ Universal access" - "Shades of Gray").

AirPods volume

You don't have to take out your iPhone to turn down the volume on AirPods when listening to music from your watch. Open the player (or the Now Playing tab) and turn down the volume with the wheel. With watchOS 4, your watch shows the player on the home screen when music is playing, so you don't have to go to the app every time.

Screenshots of the watch screen

Taking a screenshot on your watch is as easy as taking a screenshot on your iPhone—press the wheel and the side button at the same time. The screenshot will appear in the photo feed in the iPhone's memory. The function does not work by default after watchOS 3. To launch it, go to the application on your iPhone and turn on screenshots in the “General” item.

Quickly activate Silent mode

You are sitting in the cinema, and the clock is ringing and sending notifications. To quickly turn on Silent mode, cover the watch display with your palm and wait for the vibration signal. In the same way, reject calls that you cannot answer yet. Check if this function works in the settings (in the “Sounds, tactile signals” item).

Last running application

When you raise your hand, the watch shows the time or current information for that hour. But you can make the watch open the last running application. Specify this in the settings (“General” - “Activate when raising your wrist”) and, for example, check the map on your watch every two minutes, every hour or always. And you can switch between the last running applications faster using the wheel - to do this, you need to double-click on it.

Unlocking MacBook

Unlock your MacBook without a password using your watch. Link your Apple Watch and MacBook to the same Apple ID and set up two-factor authentication. In system macOS settings go to the iCloud tab, then to settings account and enter your Apple ID password, and in the “Security” tab, enable two-factor authentication. Then come up with a password for the watch in the application on your iPhone (in the “Passcode” item), and in system settings On your MacBook (Security and Security tab, then General), turn on “Unlock Mac with Apple Watch.” The function is available only to those whose watches have been updated to watchOS 3 and their MacBooks to macOS Sierra.

Finding a Lost iPhone

If you can’t find your iPhone at home, use your watch: swipe up on the watch screen, go to the control center and touch the phone icon - the iPhone will beep sound signal. If this does not help, hold your finger on the phone icon - the iPhone will start blinking with the camera flash. The function only works within the Bluetooth coverage area, that is, within a radius of 100 meters.

Custom message templates

Don't use message templates in Messages because they're boring? Go to the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, select “Messages” - “Default Replies” and rewrite all the templates as you wish. Instead of the vague “I’m on my way,” make it more specific, for example, “I’m at Kitay-Gorod.” Templates are available not only in Messages, but also in Facebook Messenger. The latter are configured in the application on the iPhone.

Signal for Siri

Let Siri know you're done dictating your message. After you've finished talking, tap on the display - Siri.

Notifications on watches and iPhones

When a message arrives on the iPhone, the notification is duplicated on the watch. If you dismiss a notification on your watch, it will disappear on your iPhone as well. But sometimes there is no time to answer, but you don’t want to reject the notification - then it will be forgotten, and the interlocutor will be unpleasant. There is a solution - press the wheel when a notification appears on the screen, and it will be minimized, but not dismissed. If there is too much information accumulated in the notification center, press firmly on the notification screen and clear the history.

Navigation language

Follow the designated route and do not look at the display. The watch itself will tell you where to turn using vibration: series short signals- to the right, three pairs of signals - to the left, long beep- end of the route. The function is described in the user manual and turns on automatically.

"Do not disturb" during training

To keep messages and calls from distracting you from your workout, watchOS 4 automatically turns on Do Not Disturb mode when you exercise. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to General - Do Not Disturb and turn on workout mode. This is not the only update for athletes. For example, the watch itself pauses your running workout if you stop, and resumes it automatically when you start running again. Turn on this feature in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone under “Workout.”
