Bringing back the "swipe to change watch face" option is the greatest achievement Apple has accomplished in a decade.

I’m actually really glad you have to long press first before activating the swipe to change watch face. My son randomly changed my watch face constantly. On top of that rustling in bed often accidentally changed the face. Now it never accidentally happens.

But that feature is broken now. Now watch faces for some reason always show the time 10 : 09 first, and only then the actual current time. Why? But yes, it is an absolutely necessary function, which I often use.
I just got the 9 series after not having an Apple Watch for years. So far, I am really liking it. I'm watching videos like this to learn all that I can do with it
Thanks for sharing. I’m wearing Series 7. Blessings on your day.
One of my favorite Apple Watch tricks is to make a focus called “iPhone Locked” then set a shortcut to lock the iPhone screen when the focus is enabled. Then you can turn on the focus from your watch and lock your phone remotely if someone takes it out of your hand!

This sounds cool. But how do you create the shortcut to lock the screen? I don’t see the option when trying to make the shortcut. Can you share the Shortcut perhaps?

@@caramel1114 I don’t think I can share it on KZread, but try creating an automation. There should be an option to run an automation when a focus is enabled. Then set the phone to lock whenever the focus is turned on.
This was a great refresher video thank you.
I don’t normally comment, however I gotta say I consider myself an Apple geek and of course most of these I knew. However you actually did get a couple minor things that I didn’t know. So I thank you 😊

I’ve replaced my broken AW6 with an Ultra 2 & absolutely love it. I’m an advanced user, but discovered new things with this excellent video. Thanks.
Brilliant - So helpful. Many thanks........All the way from London !
Hey Brandon I always look forward to all your videos. It seems like when you do these kinds of videos I always learn something new. Over half of those I didn’t know you could do. I have the AW9 and I’m still learning more about it
Hi , series 9 , great video. I like these types of videos so informative, a great way to learn about your watch, thank-you.
Hi Brandon, great video as always 🔥 Do you have any battery life issue on watch OS 10.4? My Ultra 1 now can barely last 2 days, worst battery since 10.1 🤷♂
So many helpful tips, thank you!
I just bought the Apple Ultra 2. Man it’s so awesome. Good to see ya again Butch. I been off the grid. Always enjoy your videos

I’ve had an Apple Watch since Series 1 and you presented some feature I wasn’t aware of! Thanks!
Love the tips! Thanks! Can you share where did you get the watch bracelet/belt please?
I just bought my first apple Watch , the ultra 2 , and I have a question ..I thought that it will be as smooth 120hz as my 14PM but sometimes it’s not so smooth and it opens the apps with a loading icon for 1-2 seconds ..is this normal for Apple Watches ?
I got awu2 the day it came out, and i have allways used the pay option
Not me waiting for WatchOS 11 for them to bring the swipe back. Thanks for that info dude.
Do you recommend cellular? Or just the GPS version?
Thank you so much for this video… I for one only use my watch just because 🤣I really need to find time to really enjoy it
Thank you Brandon for always providing the most informative and epic content. You will forever be my go to Apple and general tech guy on KZread! 🔥Currently rockin' a Series 8 - Cellular 45mm
Is there a way to get seconds going around the watch face like your Modular Ultra as a complication on a Series 6?
Thanks!
I have the Apple Watch Ultra 1, and I’ve noticed that sometimes when I take my watch off the charger, the always on display somehow turns on automatically which is kinda strange so I’ll have to go into the settings and turn it off. But it has not been doing that lately.
Camera Remote is buggy on my Series 8, takes a while to load, sometimes it doesn't load at all.
I’m rocking the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with watchOS 10.5 beta 1
I wear my watch so i can add things to my grocery list, set timers and check the weather.
very good !
Can you make, or point me to a video about the full functionality of focus mode(s)? To me, focus mode is pretty pointless, cause I don’t know how to use it
I would like to know how to turn off the annoying music control if I have my phone I don’t need it on my phone and my watch I’ve off my phone, return the clock. I’ve tried everything and it does what it wants to do. I checked Google everything
may i know how to get the cool looking watch face you're using in this video? Thanks !
So appreciative that you said hey S instead of hey siri so all my apple devices didn’t start going off

He said it to not activate his Siri listening not yours. Your Siri settings are sensitive to your voice only. Sometimes when voices are similar (I have experienced this with my mom’s voice) then it will start to listen.

What background/wallpaper is that
Thanks, Brandon for the great tips! Saying "Five" to bring up a timer doesn't work for me. Siri looks up "five" in Wikipedia. 🙄 Is there a secret?
My question is related to Apple Pay…it only allows me to set the function if I let the password on, but then it asks for password for everything….is there a way to let password on only for the payments?
I know things have advanced and apps are way better now. BUT, honestly I miss my Pebble watch. It was always on point with what I needed and notifications were always quick. Also, I think it was way better looking and I wasn't afraid to scratch or hit it up against anything. To be bad the company didn't last, as they were the true pioneers of the smartwatch I think.
love my ultra but I'm really fed up with the remote Camera as its constantly not working & I just get a black screen when I try open it, apple really needs to do better & fix this coz I've seen others with the same issue...really frustrating & annoying
How I can add in focus “recording a video focus” ?
Where’d you get the watch band?
Wife just surprised me with an Ultra 2 because I'm so awesome!
I don't have an Apple Watch Series 9 or Ultra, but wanted to know can we assign a task to the double tap feature. Like double tap to play/pause

I love the Apple camera remote trick but majority of the times it won’t show the live feed from the camera…..Even in your video the watch showed no live view which is frustrating😅. The only solution which I found to work was to restart the watch and relaunch the app after some time

How do I get Apple Music to continue playing my playlist where I left off the next time I work out? My Apple Watch 7 starts my playlist from the beginning of the playlist every time I use the watch, I like it to continue where I left off without having to carry my iPhone.

I’m running iPhone 14 Plus with iOS 17.4. I have Apple Watch 9. My phone won’t allow me to mirror my watch under accessibility settings. It keeps saying I need to unlock the watch. It isn’t locked. Rebooted the phone and the watch. Same issue.
I have the 8. I upgrade every other year.

Also with the Workout app, once a workout is started, you can double tap the display to mark segments of a workout. I use it when I’m doing weights, like when I switch between kettlebell squats to dumbbell lifts.

Hey! I have the Ultra 2, and my camera remote doesn't show the view finder either, just like yours. It did when I first got it but not anymore. I wonder what i've done to make this happen, or its just a bug? Seems to be affecting you too.
