Watch 4+

I like my Apple Watch okay, but I must say that I am seriously underwhelmed by the watch faces. Sure seems to me that given the display capabilities of the Series 10 watch that something way better could be possible. Also, no blood oxygen capability?!? I don’t get that at all. When I bought the watch it never occurred to me that it couldn’t count steps. One must download an additional app and go through convoluted steps to get steps to show on a watch face that has “complications”. Still, you have to tap the screen to go to another screen that has the actual step count. After you do that the steps get updated on the watch face. Absolutely ridiculous. Lastly, I notice what appears to be a complete lack of response on Apple’s part to any of the reviews here, and I have read a lot of them. Looks to me like there are waaay more dissatisfied reviewers than those that give the watch and/or app any positive comments. Considering going back to my Fitbit, as I feel I made an expensive mistake by buying this thing. I’m pretty much over it. Not all it’s cracked up to be.

I love Shortcuts, I have been using it since it was Workflow. I liked Workflow better because you really learned to program with it from the ground up. Apple has really dumbed down Shortcuts in these latest versions for the masses in respect to really programming shortcuts from the ground up. However, I’m deeply disappointed, I bought an Apple Watch with the sole excitement of using Shortcuts on my Apple Watch and I have never been able to use Shortcuts on the actual Watch, “THEY WILL NOT SHOW UP ON THE WATCH” or under the actual Watch App list on the iPhone. This a known issue what gives? Each update, I’m hopeful this issue will be resolved and nope the Shortcuts Apps will not show up as an option to select in the Watch App and the Apple Watch keeps saying,No shortcuts you can add them in the Shortcuts App on your iphone, which are listed and designated for the Apple Watch, but don’t show up. There is a disconnect between the iPhone Shortcut App and the Watch App not letting the Shortcut App appear as a selection to be on the watch and the actual Apple Watch Shortcuts App. Just works- nah, It just doesn’t, please fix it Apple.

And to add, the Haptic Touch is too soft, please the increase the option to make it stronger, especially for alarms and waking up.

The new software for the watch is awful. Why would you remove the dock? That was one of the best parts about the functionality of the device. Who is making these decisions? I have never seen a company make a device worse with and update. Also, why did you change the look of the stop watch? It looks so stupid now. If you’re going to add more options, that’s great. But to remove the old look and or options is crazy. It’s completely embarrassing that people who work at Apple green lit these changes and then actually rolled them out. I feel like the people responsible for these changes do not actually use the device themselves. I can’t see anyone who actually uses Apple products being happy about this. Really shows how out of touch so of your staff members are becoming. Please bring back the dock option and resolve this massive oversight. And while your at it, fire the people making these ridiculous changes. I couldn’t be more embarrassed for you guys right now. Paying people to make your products worse. What a job. Sign me up.
