Rest days, battery life, recovery metrics and one app for all of the health/fitness information.
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
Ability to answer calls on third party voip apps would be nice.
Show Reminders Flagged items in the wide Reminders complication, rather than only allowing the Today view. If you use Reminders, then the natural path is to flag stuff each day, not to assign specific times for each item. You can change the iPhone widgets this way, it's maddening that you can do it on the watch, too.
seriously! any customization for the wide scroll down complications for reminders would be huge. APPLE TIM GIVE REMINDERS LOVE
Smart alarm. It will wake you up when your in light sleep instead of one set time just like sleep cycle app. Must needed feature
Rest days and measuring Recovery
Auto detection for switching between (e.g.) walking and running, so I don't have to keep fiddling with the watch when I'm out exercising. (I don't use a timed schedule for it.) It should deal with or ignore very short switches (e.g., out walking but run across a street to beat the light).
Bring back old watch face switching it’s factually worse for those of us that do it regularly 😾
I would love to see an “ankle mode” as I tend to wear my watch on my ankle during runs bc if I’m not moving my arms it doesn’t seem to count the distance/steps therefore my metrics are off.
Would also love to see a “treadmill run” function with improved distance readings for those measurements - my watch is about .25 mi lower than the treadmill distance since it’s not working with gps like on outdoor runs.
Likewise. I’d also like to see blood sugar measurements. I’m not diabetic, but have friends who are and either blood sugar or blood pressure capabilities would sell boatloads more watches and would drive the stock up a decent bit — and that…makes me happy!
I wish you could get a standalone Apple Watch without the phone and it could be a replacement for my phone, keys and wallet and I get to strap on my watch and some AirPods and go out without having to carry all that shit with me in my pockets also it should be able to tether devices to use the Internet like if I have an iPad with me or something
iPad support. Meaning I want to get rid of the phone.
This is the GOAT post!
WatchOS 9 with iOS 17
I’d love a glucose meter.
The ability to sell them to Android users.
If this is already a thing excuse my ignorance but I need a screen lockout my son is always doing shit well I’m holding him I want to be able to lock the screen so he can’t touch anything
Use the water lock feature :) It's the water drop icon in control centre.
It's not perfect cause you have to press and hold your crown to do anything on your watch, but it will keep him from touching random things
Probably a pipe dream but my most wanted feature is blood glucose monitoring.
Whoop/Oura-like strain, recovery, stress tracking for a quantitative approach to fitness and health
Left to right swiping for widgets and full screen widgets
Blood pressure readings.
As someone who has fought pre-hypertension for a few years now with exercise this would be my number one feature to have a baseline and know if it is time to explore meds before it gets too late.
High BP is seriously silent.
Erasing texts on the watch erases them on the phone too
Don’t ever not show me the time!!! You are a watch. So infuriating when you go to check the time and there’s a full screen alert, and the time isn’t available. It shits me to tears.
I want a message icon that only shows if you have a message. Why hasn’t apple thought of it. What is Tim Cook doing with this company???
I guess its more of an App wish but I wish it would unlock my tesla when i forget my phone in the house.
Worst detection through my tattoo
Replace stand with steps
Since the Apple Watch 0, The thing I wanted the most was for the ringtones to match what I have setup on my phone. Especially custom tones for each contact on messaging apps.
Solar charging
Swiping faces /s
Solar. It could extend charging time up to a week. So many competitors can go a week without charging
The ability to use the NFC function outside of Apple Pay for NFC tags around the house
I’m pretty sure I’ve already seen videos showing how to trigger shortcut actions by scanning NFC tags you can buy.
