Man, Apple should hire you and pay you crazy money for your craftsmanship in these tutorials!! SUPER useful :)

[@macbitz]

Even though I'm a career IT guy and migrated to Apple gear around 2008, I always learn something from your videos. Great work!

[@williamdoublelink]

Very good indeed. Concise and easily understood. I’ve saved this video for future reference. Not many, if any, KZbinrs provide Tips&Tricks insight better than you do. Thank you very much. 👍🏽

[@sagmalrasmus]

I have an apple watch since one month and from time to time watch some videos on youtube about things that I might have missed about the watch. I seen dozens of them but most of them don't get farther than "you can even open the weather app, isn't that amazing???". But yours is the first video that actually had a lot of new tips for me. Thank you!

[@elivne]

I always love your ability to bring proper value to this type of videos, thank you!

[@johnt6022]

I stumbled across your page and I have to say, I absolutely love your presentation. Its hard to explain, but you are very different to the other tubers who report on Apple products. Another subscriber for you!!!!

[@GregDawson]

The tap to skip workout countdown ... brilliant!

[@donross7820]

For my iWatch Ultra this was incredibly helpful! Thank you

[@djb_tv]

As always - totally helpful. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@billme372]

Wonderful videos. Thank you for all your effort. I do want to answer phone calls with my watch. But I use hearing aids and the watch does not recognize them (even though the iPhone does). Are you aware of any way to get the hearing aids to work with calls answered by the watch?

[@michaelgoble8200]

He is always very informative. I wish I could get a transcript because I’m a senior citizen with short term memory problems. I can never remember his information long enough to put it to use.

[@clarewillison9379]

You can! If you click on “…more” under the title it opens the video description at the bottom of which there’s a transcript which you can follow along. You could take a screenshot to save as a reminder. Hope this helps!

[@georginavegas2017]

I just found your channel and thank god I did! Wow, I’ve never seen anyone explaining so thorough and so easy to understand. Lots of people talk way too fast and they don’t show how to get to the screen they are showing. Thank you very much for taking the time to help us out. Blessings to you and your family.

[@BenHulscher]

Thanks Tom! I was just hoping for a watch related video from you!

[@adtsproduction]

I love your videos, you’re very good explaining things, but somehow there’s so many commercials, and there very very long ones. It becomes cumbersome to look at. Is there anything you can do to cut down on the commercials and the length?

[@ProperHonestTech]

Thanks for the kind words. The commercials fund this channel. Without those, I'd not be able to afford to make this content, or would have to hide it behind a paywall.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Dude , atleast have basic info on KZbin commercials. If you dont need youtube commercials , you can go for youtube premium app subscription which dosent give you ads. I use youtube premium subscription so i can save my time in watching videos without the ads. Note that its a very nominal amount affordable per year, and nothing big amount. You can go for it as you dont wanted disturbances while watching videos. Hope this info helps.

[@adtsproduction]

I’m like you with my Apple Watch I always forget to see what tips and tricks that it can do, yet I’m always looking for tips and tricks for my phone and my iPad. Love your videos. I was hoping you would show some of the finger tapping tricks- that would be fun. Thank you again for all you do, and good luck with those babies❤❤

[@Gts2pro]

Thanks , reliable information as always

[@keithrobshaw179]

You need to do an update for 10.2 (the clock option now starts with swipe to switch watch face). Nice video though 😊

[@travisconnell]

Man even though I work @ Apple and most of the things I tend to know. Your videos are so helpful and informative that I had to comment lol Please keep making these types of videos, I know everyone loves them and it helps out so much for people to be more aware of all the features and tips. Btw I still watch every single video of yours and I sometimes STILL learn new things even though I’m a die hard Apple guy haha Amazing content. Love the easy format and the personable video views.

[@ProperHonestTech]

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated!

First time hearing about apple ring and it is thanks to you pal. Keep up with the good job in providing updates

[@meites]

Hey I really like the video and I appreciate it. I have a strange I can assure you Apple wasn't able to solve .. my Apple Watch ultra 2 and no longer start activities automatically or even when you press the activity.. all the settings are correct, nothing I can do just get started other than sliding over and starting. I downloaded the shortcut that was supposed to modify the watch for different times of the day.. but since Deleted it. (And updated the watch). Is it possible a shortcut is still somehow running? Shot in the dark you may know how to fox this or about the shortcut..

[@bbjohnston1872]

I watch all your videos.... I noticed that you have Nike Run Club app.. I also use that app but have a problem with my Open Run Pro Shokz bone conduction headphones. Maybe you can help..... While using NRC, I have the app reporting my times and distance every 1/4 mile. At the beginning of every voice prompt the voice in the Shokz cuts out briefly... I think that NRC is trying to find which app to broadcast on. I'm not sure if that makes any sense or not, but I'm trying.

[@WillNewcomb]

Thank you! I'll use the Siri tips all the time plus the camera ones.

[@rhondabrimmeraustin3597]

You’ve made a really great video…even after watching several Apple Watch instructional videos, I’ve either learned something new or had it better explain! THANK YOU!! Some people are just made for creating instructional videos, you’re one of those people. Your voice tone is perfect and easy to listen too…easy to listen to, equals better learning; I’m happy I happened upon this video and will search out others you’ve posted 😸

[@gilbertlozano7061]

I like your videos bro. Saludos from Atherton California

[@S3basuchian]

At 1:23 you receive a call on your watch and the contact poster shows up. How did you manage to do that? I have many contacts that have a contact poster set up (and it also shows the contact posters in the contacts app of the Apple Watch itself), but in the call screen I always get the default grey background.

[@germandimplez]

When can we start watching video on these watches? There are times I want to see a tutorial on YT or stream a show or watch exercises on my Jillian Michaels app or FitOn app.

[@a661992]

This was a very informative video Thanks

[@petercobbe248]

Hi Tom. Thanks for a great video. I’ve got problems getting my iPhone 12 LED light to flash when I press and hold the ping button on the control screen of my ultra1 watch. It just pings after I tap and hold it. No light. am on IOS 17.1.2. Please advise.

Great job still learning this watch it’s my first one !

[@mandkallen]

It was good to see you put the zoom on there as most people do not think about the accessability settings that can help lots of people. and also the haptic time is good a bit like the last point you made for talking time. with hapitc time when the watch is muted using the 2 fingers you get a haptic which tells you the time

[@Aljobritt]
