If I was in the wedding party, I'd wear my Tag Heuer. Anything else and I'll switch to the leather link band most of the time.

Fitness app, tap the workout, tap "show more" next to "Heart Rate" (or tap the graph itself.)

You can change the colors, the style of the time, whether it has seconds or not, whether it has ticks on the outside for seconds, elevation, or depth, and any of the complication slots. That is all you can modify.

It's easily my favorite face these days. I think that it's better than the old modular face.

I suppose that we'll know for sure if they do their next one on iPhone in daytime settings.

"Or later" means that I should be able to use my Apple Watch on WatchOS 9 and simply not upgrade to WatchOS 10 even with the new iPhone. But I am not 100% sure if this is the case.

This is 100% correct. I have a 13 Pro on iOS 17, not a 15 Pro, but the phone doesn't matter. I have two Apple Watches - an Ultra on watchOS 10, and a Series 5, that I have deliberately kept on watchOS 9. The Series 5 works perfectly fine with iOS 17.

The way it works is this: each watch has a minumum iOS version it will work with - the iOS version that corresponds to the watchOS version that shipped with the watch. So, the Series 8, which shipped with watchOS 9, will work with any phone running iOS 16 or later. The Series 9 will work with any phone running iOS 17 or later.

Also, each watchOS version has a minimum iOS version it will work with. watchOS 9 requires iOS 16 or later - so it will work perfectly fine with a phone running iOS 17, but you wouldn't be able to pair with a phone running iOS 15.

So, your Series 4, if you never updated it, would work with any phone running iOS 13 or later. But, if you updated it to watchOS 9, that means it will work with any phone running iOS 16 or later, which means that it will work with a phone running iOS 17, even if watchOS has not been updated.

(I have kept the Series 5 on watchOS 9 because I also always keep my last phone as a backup, and my last phone is an iPhone X, which is stuck on iOS 16. If for some reason my 13 Pro fails, is lost, etc., while I am waiting for a replacement I will use the iPhone X as my main phone and pair the Series 5 to it. I won't be able to pair the Ultra, because I've already updated it to watchOS 10.)

It's 60 minutes to go from 0 to 80%; after 80% the fast charge stops and it goes back to normal charging. I've never timed it myself, but my watch just went from about 60% to 96% in 30 minutes, so three hours to get that charge sounds too long.

If you want to try an arm band heart rate monitor, Scosche makes one.

As others have said, anything that does Bluetooth can be paired with the watch and used by the stock (or third party) workout app.

It pauses because the watch starts recording heart rate almost constantly while you are in a workout, while it takes reading once every 4-5 minutes most of the time normally. It doesn't use heart rate as a clue that you may have started a workout - it uses arm motion, and (probably) checks location services to see if you are moving in a way that suggests that you may be walking. But once you start the workout and it tries to read heart rate constantly and it thinks that you don't have a heart rate, it pauses (probably assuming that you maybe you took the watch off of your wrist after forgetting to pause or end the workout.)

That's just the way it works. I know you think it should work otherwise... but it doesn't. Apple isn't likely to change it unless enough people suggest the change, so use the Feedback form to make a suggestion.

Have you tried using the watch on your other wrist?

That's strange - whenever I use the crown to change to a different page on my workouts, it stays on that page until I spin the crown (or swipe down). I have to say that I don't do outdoor cycling workouts, so perhaps cycling is different for some reason, but it always stay where I put it when I do running or walking workouts.

But if you press the edit icon top-right in "Outdoor Cycle Workout", scroll down to and tap "Preferences", tap "Outdoor Cycle Workout Views" at the top, scroll down to the bottom and tap "Reorder" and put the HR Zone page at the top, does that fox it?

Does that not work?

If you haven't installed the 10.1.1 update yet, try that - that noticeably removed the battery drain issues I've had on my Ultra since 10.0.

I was having slightly more battery drain with all versions of 10 before 10.1.1. Since installing it late last week, my watch is now back to as close to the same as it was with watchOS 9 to be indistinguishable.
