14 day battery
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
The gentle alarm clock.
3-day battery life for the main line series.
Playing music on the watch (threw the speaker)
Backpacking / rucking activity taking backpack weight into consideration in caloric usage
Blood glucose monitoring
Blood sugar analysis
Allow me to crop activities when I drive away accidentally.
Route upload and navigation for running and cycling activities
Accurate readings while worn on the ankle. A lot of people work in fields that don’t allow you to have a watch on your wrist
At least 20hrs GPS tracking with full navigation, topo maps, hr, notifications etc. And most of all this should be baked in so I don’t need to keep buying 3rd party apps. For now I’m still going to use my Suunto and Garmins in the wilderness. The battery anxiety is real.
The ability to upload a GPX file for navigation during a workout. I know you can use WorkOutdoors but I find it clunky and would love the have the option to do this in the workout app.
It’s crazy that this hasn’t been mentioned once in this entire thread, but maybe that’s because people don’t want it and that’s why we don’t have it 🤷♂️
Passive NFC tag scanning
Control iPad media playback
i already can control my Apple TV and my iPhone media playback. Why not my iPad?
Battery life
A camera.
Notifications that work.
Naps please 🙏🏻
Ability to connect with any phone (including Android) 😄
Longer battery life!!!!!! At least 3 days!
I just want my manual “turn the crown” for night mode back on my ultra. The automatic selection is annoying me to no end, and I actually use night mode.
- I’d like to go back to just Recent and Favorite timers, instead of Revents and an ever growing list of every random timer I’ve ever set on watchOS 10
- More customizable Watch faces and options for analog hands or digital display where applicable. Not necessarily third party faces, but say I want to take Infograph and replace the analog hands with digital time on one of the sub dial, or I want to replace the time display on a Modular variant with digital time and an additional complication.
- Non-invasive Glucose Approximation
Make pancakes. ⌚️🥞✨
I have a 3 so I’m not sure if this is a feature by now, but I’d like to be able to see my phone’s battery % from the watch
Better sync between phone and watch. I want timers to sync between phone and watch regardless from which device they are started. Also I want two customize individually which alarm will only vibrate on watch, play sound on watch / phone. Also the synchronisation for Podcasts and for audible books is ridiculous. If I start playing on watch and want to continue later on phone it doesn't pick up seamlessly. I think this is a shame for the company around "it's just works". It's a great smartwatch, but doesn't hold up to Steve Jobs' standards imo
- Auto detect sleep rather than using sleep schedule
- With the above working, set “sleep duration based alarms”. For example, I want it to wake me up 30 mins after I fell asleep during the day (nap)
I would love to see that too. My guess is that it would drain the battery too much if it constantly was checking if you’re sleeping.
Interesting ideas but I don’t see them manifesting. Apple’s entire sleep tracking philosophy is encouraging regularly nightly sleep habits, not just tracking whenever you randomly nap during the day. That’s why it only tracks during sleep focus and only records if it’s been more than four hours. From Apple’s perspective, you’re meant to be working on a good nightly sleep routine.
I would like intelligent sleep alarms, i.e up to ±X minutes from the nominal alarm time to try to wake you during a lighter sleep phase.
