12 AMAZING things your Apple Watch can do RIGHT NOW!

For the haptic feedback while navigating, there’s a fine intuitive detail so you can remember what direction it’s telling you to go. Going left mimics a heartbeat, and your heart is located left of center in your body. A tiny little nuance, but it makes perfect sense.

[@bernardlozar4413]

I love your instructional videos! I have a question on this one though. I can’t get the timer or siri app to come up when I hold the crown - when I do, nothing happens. Is there a setting that needs to be set? I have an SE watch. Thank you.

You probably have Siri disabled on your paired iphone. Make sure Siri is enabled on both your iPhone and your apple watch, that should restore functionality to your digital crown press and hold.

Wow! The timers feature is excellent. I didn't know that one. I always set them by hand previously. The Apple Pay is great, too, but I think it would be more useful if it didn't require me to set up a pass code on the watch.

[@craiglang3492]

Does your watch not unlock with your iPhone or is this a separate thing outside the UK? Watch app on your phone, passcode, unlock with iPhone. Sorry if I’ve picked this up wrong but I never need to use a code paying with Apple Pay just double click the side button and hold near the card reader.

Tom, I've never been able to unlock my Mac with either my Apple Watch or the Touch ID button on my Apple keyboard. I've always had to enter my password manually. Is this because I have a MacMini rather than a MacBook? I have all the appropriate options turned on in my settings.

[@SignorLuigi]

I have a 2018 Mac Mini and it has never reliably worked with Unlock My Mac on the Apple Watch. This is a probkem that others have also reported and there are discussion threads in many places about it. I don't know if the newer M series Mac Minis suffer from the same problem.

[@palmercolson7037]

I have found that it seems to work with the very top of the fingertip. It could be that is what I setup initially and it would offer it the middle part of my finger--that didn't work. It now pretty consistently unlocks with my finger. Also, I don't press it like it is a button, I just touch my finger to it.

[@rgps-53]

@@SignorLuigi Mine is an M2 MacMini Pro from earlier this year so it seems even with the newer chip it still doesn't work (either with the watch or my finger on the key). The fingertip on the key works just fine to unlock 1Password though.

[@joecunningham_mpls]

Regarding Shazam via Siri - I have found on a number of occasions that using the Siri method resulted in non-recognition, and then opening Shazam proper before the song ends and trying it that way resulted in correct identification. This has happened often enough that I now I always use the Shazam app on the watch. Just fyi.

[@tardis33]

an interesting quirk of using apple pay on either iPhone or apple watch is if you ever need to see your last transactions ... they don't sync. So watch transactions on the watch, iPhone transactions on the iPhone. Also, if you ever need to return an item you purchased when you paid with apple pay the retailer might ask to confirm the number of the card you used. To find this you activate apple pay, choose the card and scroll down to card details to reveal the different numbers (on mine there are separate card numbers for Visa, eftpos and card number

[@michael3060scofield]

Look a few messages above yours for a similar situation and solution. It's very doable, and you wouldn't want your watch to allow you to spend money without a PIN...because if it wasn't YOU who had your watch...

Sounds like a bank issue…I’ve never had an issue with debit cards needing pins and I’ve had accounts with a few different banks over the years.

Maps: I live in Rome, and thanks to your prompt, I gave my watch a local street address. The system worked perfectly. As far as Apple Pay is concerned, it works perfectly here in Italy, and, recently, in Norway. There is another feature: signing into a website, where it allows one to sign in with Apple (or Google, etc.) without using my Apple ID, I start the access process then the watch (Apple Watch 9) intervenes and gives me access, without my needing to supply it. What I deplore about the AW is having to charge the battery every day. Mac is supposedly come out with a new model that has a longer-lasting battery. It makes me wonder if I can trade in one AW model for a newer model.

I use Siri on my Apple Watch, to tell me how much battery percentage my watch has left. I simply say "Siri, battery percentage of watch", and Siri will tell me how much battery percentage I have left. I can also tell my iPhone "Siri, battery percentage of watch", and I will be told how much battery percentage is remaining on my watch.

[@cerebralhawks4544]

Regarding #10, unlocking your Mac with your watch. This actually doesn't work half the time and your Mac will tell you it isn't going to work. It will tell you right under the password entry field, "Your password is required." So I'm not 100% sure how this works, but I think you actually need to type it once every 24 hours or something. It will similarly disable Touch ID on a MacBook (or a Mac with the keyboard that has Touch ID on it, I suppose) until it gets the password manually entered. However, if someone *else* wants to use the Mac, it will unlock your account for them every time if you're nearby. Because my wife also uses our desktop Mac, I've had to disable the feature because it creates additional steps for her to get to her stuff.

[@scubasteve1555]

It only does that if you haven’t unlocked your Mac in 24 hours. I’m a daily user and I only ever enter my password after I do my weekly restart.

[@wilsonblack2023]

I wish the apple wallets would synchronise with each other. Ie i use my watch for 90% of my shopping, occasionally i use my phone, usually when I have the wallet open anyway for a store card like Tesco. I just wish all the transactions would be listed on the phone for checking out later
