Hi all, I am new to Apple Watch. May I ask if S4 irregular heart rate detection feature is working as of now? I’m heart valve defect patient and would like to find out more regarding this feature. Thanks for the advise in advance. 👍🏻

Updated from 5.1 to 5.1.1, no issues.

Hi Snoweagle, would you be kind enough to do me a favour. This is to check if the fall detection in your watch triggers when you flick your arm ? This is to see if it is only my watch or all watches are the same. If not then I can go get it changed.
Apple Support asked me to unpair n reset. But I reluctant as it took me many days to set , customise and load up. And don’t want to go through again.many thanks in advance, Martin

Hi Martinremy, I tried to flick hard and thump my fist many times on my thigh, doesn't trigger the fall detection.

Anyone seen the new but unfinished complication face in watchOS 5.1.1?
its the same old features that supposed to be available in watch faces in the first place! technically nothing new. another demostration of poor OS quality from apple yet again for rushing out this 5.1.1 patching it's bug

Do you have pictures of screen bleed issue?
So that I can look out for it when I buy my Apple watch S4

Hi, below post from one of the Apple Watch users :) But you may refer to the previous posts as well for more information.

Was browsing the menu in the dark in my room when I first noticed it:



Next, I downloaded a grey photo to the watch to compare. There is significant unevenness in the lighting of the screen.



A couple more people seem to have this issue as reported on Reddit:

Hi all out there who have the AW4, would you be kind enough to test and see whether the fall detection activates when you flick your arms several times. Mine activates most times I did that. But swinging Golf clubs does not activate. Thanks much

I tested to flick my hand hard, nope it doesn’t activate. I dare not try falling down though.

Thanks, looks like my fall detection is faulty. But then it is better that it activates rather than not when you actually fall. Now I can just tap I did not fall. So I am not sure if I should get it exchanged for a new one. Other than this, my watch works perfectly.

. You not just have to flick your hand hard. I think have to emulate the way out arms balance and sway whenever one falls. All within split secs. And also the accelerometer has to detect a dead stop on X Y Z axis to complete the detection. That’s my guess just my guess. If not suka suka just detection so easily it’s not good for us too.

For example sprinting. Jogging. Some simple workout like stand board albums type too.

Lol. I swing and flick and try fast motion doing the steps. Not activated.
