Apple Watch Series 8 - First 10 Things To Do! (Tips & Tricks) 2023

[@DionMedia]

What is your favourite Apple Watch feature? 🤔

[@KashifKhan-kb2oj]

Always on display

[@theoahb]

Customization tips were so useful! @theoahb

[@Immanuellanwanedo.]

My favorite feature of the Apple Watch is the ability to easily switch between apps

[@ASW_Pushpo]

series 2

[@Bobert115]

Definitely the always on display

[@FollowMeToTheNorthpole]

My series 3 saved my life. Told me I had AFibrillation. 185 BPM RVR had to get cardiac conversion electro shocked. Now Have a series 8 coming

[@DionMedia]

I hear this more often. Glad it helped you that much. It should also help in accompanying one’s lifestyle

[@JDBloodstone]

Was just diagnosed with A-fib. My doctor recommended I get a series 8 watch. Just ordered it!

[@ghhhp]

that’s awesome you should definitely upgrade to a newer watch the series 3 is good but the newer ones have more health features that would prolly help out it’s definitely a good investment

[@naenaevlog1295]

Glad you survived man. God bless your soul❤

[@chef9524]

That’s scary! I got to shock someone who was in Afib and it’s pretty scary seeing them jump up so high. It was also very cool!

[@PortpadTraveller]

Great video. I picked up a couple of tips; even though I have been using this watch for more than a year. What I can’t find out anywhere, is why my day and date info only appears sometimes. It is correct on both the iPhone and watch but not always showing on the watch. Calendar is set up on the iPhone, but when I go into Settings on the watch, Calendar doesn’t appear. I hope you can help me. Thank you Chris

[@sindijakaudze]

Got mine today. This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Dion!

[@Karencollinsnyc]

Fewer complications...it's fewer if you can count them.

[@user-sr5gk3rf5f]

Hello Dion, how to I put a passcode on the Apple Watch while wearing it on my wrist? Like once I lock the watch a passcode pops up to unlock it. Thank you in advance!

[@DionMedia]

Hi, by default Apple requires a passcode each time you take off your watch, but perhaps I do not get your question 100%

[@MedicineRunner]

Great video man. The 8 was my first apple watch ever so this is much appreciated.

[@hbatchelor21]

Me too and I love it!

[@KeenanModica]

Same

[@TheHunterDG33]

[@obinnaonwe2009]

This video is really what I was looking for to help me set up my new apple watch 8 series that I got 2 days ago. Thank u so much for making this video. Love it

[@DionMedia]

You're very welcome!

[@LizLyonsPhD]

Yes, this is a fabulous watch. My biggest problem is finding a beautiful band that fits my 5.2" wrist! Thanks for this video.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Liz, my pleasure!

[@arunravi97]

Best strap colour ❤

[@BeenDelivered]

I just brought my first apple 8 watch. I’m like a kid in the candy store. Thank you for sharing.

[@Leanmachine148]

Didn’t know it can turn orientation for left handed.

[@nutzeeer]

Thanks for the info! I go for maximum energy saving. I also bought a slow charger to be nicer to the battery.

[@nutzeeer]

the slow charger is not from apple and heats up the watch much more. be careful with what you buy in this case!

[@visibletoallusersonyt]

I would recommend buying a slow charging brick over a slow cord

[@nutzeeer]

@@visibletoallusersonyt yeah i have a usb c cable and no slow usb c power brick. Unfortunately the knockoff charging pad didnt charge slowly, it just got really hot and probably damaged the battery a bit. Not having charging speed control really sucks.

[@mandipsinhd7368]

Where buy straps ?

[@escondidoguitar]

Apple should just link straight to this video.

[@DionMedia]

:)

[@Bosskelley]

Upgrading from series 5 because of this video definitely looks like an upgrade

[@DionMedia]

It is

[@lisadavis7055]

Thank you so much for this wonderful information. Very helpful

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

I am looking and looking. I have a 2020 SE and its battery health is down to 84% so I bought a Series 8 the other day, but I don't get notifications on my new watch and the old one seems to be the main watch still. Also I want to use the new watch to pay with like I could with the old SE... but I can't find those infos

[@angelikalanglois7611]

Thanks!

[@DionMedia]

Thanks, appreciated!

[@jpg334]

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and an Apple Watch series 3 and will soon be upgrading my watch to the series 8 my series 3 Apple Watch doesn't have LTE but the series 8 I am getting will

[@dmbennell1799]

Hi! What’s the best setting or mode for your watch during the night, if you intend to wear it and so it doesn’t do anything.

[@DionMedia]

Hi, best is to set up a focus mode (like do not disturb) on your iPhone, set it manually before going to sleep or insert a time frame, it will automatically transfer over to your Apple Watch

[@Abdelium1]

My fave is the always on display wc is limited to very few smart watches in the market right now.

[@staceyfevin3362]

Thank you for your advice :) very helpful

[@DionMedia]

You're so welcome!

[@PraveenSrJ01]

His video really helped me today on July 27, 2024

[@fernleighp]

@fajp11 I have recently decided to switch to an Apple Watch. Thank you for all the tips.

[@silviacoppi7442]

Great video, thanks. Newbie on apple watch, need to know a lot 😊

[@syedamanulla1087]

You can also swipe on the keyboard, works smooth!

[@robejercito2624]

personalization of apple watch is one of its most impressive features.

[@Salih0631]

Hi Dion would you buy the black nike Silikon band or the normal black Silikon band ?

[@HousBinPhartiin]

I just purchased my Series 8 today. Awesome video! Very helpful! Thanks!

[@DionMedia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NextQAS]

As a first time apple watch user, this video helped a lot. @quotesnotion

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I just got my Apple Watch Series 8 today on July 27, 2024 refurbished from Amazon for only $257.35 after taxes. That is a really good deal for an Apple 🍎 Watch

[@ekinyldrmer]

is this watch 41mm or 45 mm? pls answer

[@DionMedia]

41 mm

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I just upgraded to a 45 mm

[@mrt4346]

Great video, just got my first Apple Watch. This showed me things I didn’t know . Thanks

[@DionMedia]

Thanks, glad it was helpful!

[@amandavallies6420]

Hi I have a question. I have never had an apple watch and I'm thinking about getting one. Would you do a video of showing each app and what they do? I don't have an apple store near me to go look at one

[@devansh_malik]

@devanshmalikk Banger as usual Dion! I have two questions...is the cellular version worth it or one rarely uses it's potential? And second what about the series 7 which is available at lower prices?

[@DionMedia]

Hi Devansh, thanks for your feedback. As far as your questions is concerned: in most cases I think that the cellular version is not worth it. I did some videos on the 7 and 8. If the price difference is not too big I would go for the 8 (longer software support and it has some nice new functionalities)

[@nutzeeer]

20:40 is uncensored 😬 I recommend changing the code to something different

[@DionMedia]

I know, I did already. Thanks!

[@belong_life]

Very informative video for someone has never owned an apple watch....

[@jonRboy]

Great video; thanks. Btw, I fully agree about the braided solo loop band; it's super comfortable. I kind of overlooked it at first but a couple months after I got my watch I bought one and seem to wear it more than the others now. Someone kind of described it perfectly: 'It's the stretch pants of Apple Watch bands'. Makes sense, right? Who doesn't like a nice pair of comfortable stretch pants. :-)

[@DionMedia]

Thanks for the feedback

[@jonRboy]

@@martyx6324 Well, it's difficult to give a specific answer. How wet? And what is the weather? It seems to dry pretty well. I've 'helped it along' with a hair dryer and it also seems to dry OK while wearing it. I've only gotten it a little wet, you know while washing dishes or washing my hands. I don't shower or swim with it.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I really would like to get a stretchier band for my Apple 🍎 Watch

[@dannydanny5887]

Hi. I received an Apple watch 8, but I can't see my HR directly on the watch face, there is only a Heart (app) icon. Any ideas how to make live HR pulse visible? Thanks

[@ranjnabansal389]

Bro is samsung watch ecg is as accurate as apple one?

[@DionMedia]

Hi, I do not know as I have not compared the ECG functions

[@magnumicu7303]

Wow 😮THANK YOU I JUST Received my Apple Watch Series 8 and it’s so cool however I didn’t know what the heck I was doing lol so I logged onto your KZbin and I’m very grateful. Thank you. 👍🏽👍🏽😊

[@DionMedia]

My pleasure and enjoy your watch!

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Dion.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Ron, my pleasure

[@jansen570]

How do you make the current heart rate to show up on the watch face instead of just the heart logo?

[@ruthprescott1136]

This was such a useful video for me I literally followed along with it with my new watch so thank you

[@DawayneBuffin-ho5mn]

I just bought one I had a s7 got rid of it now I’m waiting on my s8 the screen is very fragile

[@drizzlydr4ke]

Hehe boi ! I figured out your watch passcode now I just need to travel across the seas to find it!

[@DionMedia]

problem was noted and solved, but thanks anyhow!

[@noxious_nights]

Correction: the full keyboard isn't just for the Series 8, it was introduced with the Series 7

[@mrpzlee]

I recently was in a motor vehicle accident, I didn't even have a cell phone on me. As i am still recovering I bought a serries 8 Apple watch. I like the crash and fall detection. A great piece of mind.

[@DionMedia]

True

[@andym.s.5231]

Peace of mind*

[@ggwindham6874]

This is so cool. I will have to watch and listen to this again and again. Also, I will share this info.

[@DionMedia]

Thanks, please do!

[@user-lf1tt2dd9u]

Thank you Dion for your informative video it’s very helpful. I want to up grade my Apple Watch I will always watch your videos because you explain it so simply and useful too🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@DionMedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@adriannewington]

Hello. The GMT watchface has a number of colour choices, including the dual colour choices. However, the colour combination I would like is not there. The dual-coloured options are helpful to highlight Day against Night for a given timezone. I'd like to see a dual colour choice of darkblue for night & light blue for day. Is it possible to create/add/edit the dual colours?

[@DionMedia]

No, that is not possible

[@adriannewington]

@@DionMedia Thanks Dion

New owner of an apple watch series 8, really love its features 😊

[@DionMedia]

Enjoy!!

[@howardmativetsky7770]

How is it that your control burrow is on the lower lefts? Mine is upper right

[@DionMedia]

ah, that is because I am lefthanded and wear my watch upside down. Sorry for the confusion!

[@MediSpring]

GMT is the best. Thank you ❤

[@luthandontombela5905]

Great video thanks for sharing there were alot of things i did not know the apple watch can do but now i can try them

[@Mo3_Jan0]

It limits your screen time but eventually you'll go on your phone. I under its a smart watch but why would someone buy a smart watch if you'll have your cellphone every day on you. I understand the smart watch is like a mini phone but why you pay extra money to buy a product that does the same thing as your cellphone ? Which don't make sense for me. I under its very compact and easy to carry but so is the iPhone. Great video❤

[@DionMedia]

Thanks for your feedback

[@pvprincess1225]

Omyyy gosh thanks so much for this video!! New watch face immediately . Had no idea I could do that and more ...

[@DionMedia]

Glad I could help!

[@ilonavitalis3149]

Thank you for this

[@epiclegend8547]

Your beginning GMT watch face has your monogram on it but that’s not an option for me on my watch. It also wasn’t an option when you edited yours i in the video. How?

[@DionMedia]

mm, I do not think I have my monogram on it

[@Iainstressin]

Perfect timing, literally got mine yesterday 😭

[@estebanalarcon4446]

Big facts

[@alexandramorris4455]

Can i connect it to my WhatsApp on my iphone

[@zaneromitassietrippers427]

Thanks so much for this video, very helpful to me just but mine yesterday

[@baderkirti]

Sir I am using series 7 44 mm which belt are you using ? I like that brown red colour

[@DionMedia]

Hi, yes, many people comment on that band but it is not for sale anymore :(

[@Mystic-mountains]

My 8 will be here in 2 days I’m updating from the original watch and I can’t wait

[@DionMedia]

Fully understand. Enjoy!!

[@gagananand1346]

How to increase speaker volume in series 8 whilst talking via watch not able to see that option

[@DionMedia]

you should be able to scroll on the Digital Crown to adjust the volume

[@mdz1009]

Great information, but if you could talk just a wee bit slower, it would be appreciated for older people like me 😉!

[@DionMedia]

Hi, I have heard this point before and I do have slowed down a bit, but not enough for some. At the same time I have my natural rhythm that makes me feel comfortable. One suggestion is to play the video at a lower speed, 0.75 for example. That often helps.

[@hlumelaL]

New Subscriber! 🇿🇦 I recently bought my series 7, I would really appreciate some tips 🙏🏾

[@DionMedia]

Thanks for subscribing. The tips for the 7 are not much different than for the 8

[@briwilk]

Just upgraded from Series 5 to 8 a couple days ago. Thanks for your video!

[@DionMedia]

Hi Brian, enjoy the upgrade!

[@user-wh5vl3xx1v]

It was useful

[@otravoyadnoe]

@tematotherescue my wife got her se2 40mm yesterday and I gotta say that most of these tips are actually true for that model as well. pretty much the video we needed to get started with the watch, thanks!

[@DionMedia]

My pleasure

[@ripley_the_alien]

Hey! thanks for the really great detailed video! Thinking to upgrade from my amazfit bip 1 (really great battery but not as good with iOS as it was with android) may I ask a few more questions? am i able to turn off all the passcodes, etc? just to use the watch without all the additional steps? and will the iPhone unlock automatically if I have applewatch on my wrist? I didn't see anyone talking about it, and unlocking iPhone really drives me crazy (especially since it often can't recognize me wearing makeup).

[@DionMedia]

Hi Ellen, no that is not possible, but yes it is possible to have the Iphone automatically unlocked if your watch is unlocked

[@osirus272]

Thanks for the video

[@ABHISHEKPATHAK-ti1hv]

New Subscriber sir Wow, this video is absolutely fantastic! I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. The information shared in this video is truly helpful, and I'm sure it will benefit many users, just like me.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Abhishek, saw your comment only now. Thanks for the sub and glad you like the channel! Greetings from London

[@Bigtank45]

Why is the crown on the your Apple Watches are on the opposite side

[@DionMedia]

because I am left handed and it is the way I like to wear my watch. Sorry for the confusion :)

[@moirangmayumronelson2587]

Hii Mr Dion ☺️ It’s me again.. I really love to see this video I watch all your videos in time and also I’ll be keep watching ur vdeo cuz it makes me know more about ur videos… I also like this watch but I can’t afford 🥺 Okay keep uploading, keep shining….💫
