The original Apple Watch was allegedly supposed to contain a lot more sensors, but they weren’t quite up to Apple’s standards so they had to be cut. While we still might see an even more health-conscious model when the second version rolls around, it looks like Apple has a solution in the interim: watch bands. According to a report from overseas, Apple is apparently looking into the...
In watchOS 2, Apple is getting a little more open by allowing users to customize their complications, those little bits of data you see right on your watch face. Unfortunately, the company still doesn’t allow developers to create custom watch faces, which means you’re stuck with what Apple gives you. If you’re Hamza Sood, however, the rules don’t really apply. Sood, a popular iOS...
Apple is preparing to simplify its Apple Watch try-on process this week, four months after the device first went on sale, a new report claims. The Cupertino company will start by dropping the appointment requirement for try-on sessions. Since the Apple Watch was made available for pre-order, fans have had the opportunity to visit their local Apple Store and try on certain models before...
If you happen to have purchased the Apple Watch with a Link Bracelet only to find that it’s too tight or, worse, doesn’t fit at all, then Apple now has a solution. Apple recently began selling a special kit for the 42mm Link Bracelet that should offer enough room for even Hulk to get his wrist through. As MacRumors notes, the band helps expand the 205mm length of the Link Bracelet all...
The Apple Watch has its fair share of critics. I’m one of them — the apps are awful — but I think Apple’s Q3 earnings report on Tuesday evening showed us that the Apple Watch is a success for the company, even if we don’t know exactly how many units it sold to date. Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the company sold more Apple Watch units during its initial on-sale period than comparable...
The Apple Watch earned mixed reviews when it launched earlier this year, but a new study claims it may be the company’s best first-generation product ever. According to a survey from Wristly, Apple Watch satisfaction is at an almost unbelievable 97 percent. That puts it ahead of the original iPhone and iPad, which which came in at 91 percent and 92 percent respectively when they first...
When it comes to Apple Watch apps, we’re still figuring out what works and what doesn’t, but a new update to Hulu’s iPhone app is a good example of the right approach. Hulu for the Apple Watch is pretty limited, but that’s a good thing. It’s actually very useful, making it easy to control the action on a connected TV after kicking things off on your iPhone. Right off the bat you can...
Apple’s new wearable is called the Apple Watch, not the iWatch, but I can tell you from first-hand experience that many folks still think it’s called the iWatch. Rightfully so — it seems appropriate and was the name given to the wearable by rumors before Apple made it official. Apple’s taking advantage of that name, but it doesn’t own the trademark, and now a firm named Probendi is...
Apple Watch sales may be slumping three months in, but the company’s already sold a ton of smartwatches.

What if you could easily transfer your contact information from your Apple Watch to someone else’s Apple Watch through something as simple as a handshake? A new Apple patent titled “Gesture-based Information Exchange Between Devices in Proximity” details that sort of file transfer technology. In the patent summary, Apple describes creating a file exchange during a “greeting event,”...
