 Watch Series 6

[Snoweagle]

Sounds like WhatsApp is really not too good on Apple Watch for now. Unfortunately I estimate at least 70-80% of my incoming communication now are either WhatsApp messages or WhatsApp calls. ... that makes the cellular only more useful for running and stream music at the same time, at lease until WhatsApp decides to develop an Apple Watch app.

As some have mentioned that Whatsapp does not have a native app for Apple Watch and I myself am also awaiting for an ‘official’ whatsapp app for the watch for a long time, which I’m not sure if it’ll even come to fruition.

I’m a heavy whatsapp user especially at work and my watch frequently beeps from notifications. At time where I’ve to leave my desk for a while to go to another dept to run errands and still being able to receive msgs and calls, is a plus. That’s my main use of cellular, with the occasional GPS for outdoor walks.

Anyone facing issue to setting up additional watch where the series 6 watch ecg not working but the old series 4 watch fine.

The series 6 watch Keep asking me to setup at health app on iPhone. When I see on my iPhone health app is already activated but on my series 4 not 6.

Anyone got solution on this?

I’ve the same exact issue solved not long ago but mine’s unpaired Series 5 then paired Series 6. In the end solve with a simple step by Apple Genius staff, reset your phone’s settings. Just the settings.

If you have the cellualr version of the watch, it acts like an extension of your phone. Technically speaking, if our phones are within range, the watch simply connects to the phone and receiving calls and msgs just like the GPS-only model.

Once out of BT range, cellular activates and it becomes a standalone device due to built-in eSIM. When a call, message, or even notification comes, the watch will notify you. Not only whatsapp but other apps should also do the same when notifications are enabled.

I only use SMS/iMessage and Whatsapp as my main source of texting, so can’t say the same for telegram, Wechat, etc.

Yes i can receive and sent WhatsApp messages without any problem too ...

Then great, it’s working fine. Only thing now is that when someone sends you a pic and when receiving on Appe Watch, it’s a blurred image.

I tried this on at the Hermes store, super nice and very worth it.

There’s a lot of photos in the MacRumors forums https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/hermes-edition-owners-thread.1999198/page-161?post=28974711#post-28974711

Thanks for sharing. I shall try and have a look soon at Apple store.
I love the brown leather with silver dial watch

This one, I can’t understand, 90% of the time the image is blurred but once in a while it was not ... i dono why leh ... but that’s not important to me so I didn’t bother until you brought it up ...

Don’t know why today, suddenly can see details of the 2 runs ?

Anyone using the Nike Run Club (“NRC”) app ?

I did a run on 1-Oct & another run on 2-Oct.

On my Apple Watch, the NRC app says it’s synced, and only displayed all the runs in Sept. Then scroll down below, it says:

“
This Month
2 runs
See your full activity history in the NRC iPhone app
”

How come I cannot see the details of the 2 runs in October, unlike the ones in September where i can see in details all the runs in September ?

Thanks

That's why it's not optimised for Apple Watch. Perhaps we've to wait and see if Whatsapp does have an official app for the Apple Watch but for now, just have to make do.

There’s this app to use WhatsApp on the Apple Watch, but it’s just basically WhatsApp Web ported as a watch app.

WatchChat 2: for WhatsApp

There are also similar apps, but so far this is what I’ve been using - downside is the reconnecting times can be pretty long.

Ok but for my purpose now, it’s already good enough.

I can receive, read and send WhatsApp text messages without the iPhone when i go for my run ...

That’s as good as it gets now, until Whatsapp improves it further.

That’s very good already on such a small screen ...

But my main purpose in getting AW is to be able to make call out without the iPhone ...

Thanks

All right, then just enjoy your new watch. Cellular is very useful if you’re away from your phone quite often.
