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
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 😊
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 UA-cam, 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.
remotely as in outside bluetooth range? do u use apple watch with cellular network? have u tested it work that way, if i change focus on my phone at work, will my Mac at home change focus too? be very appreciated if u can answer
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.
a lot of people never liked the "Swipe to Switch watch Face" I am really glad that apple gave us the choice to either disable it or enable not like in the pervious WatchOS
@@SimonLovelace826 yeah for sure go to your apple watch go to settings > scroll all the way down until you find Clock press on it > and then you will find the first option “Swipe to Switch Watch Face”
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.
honestly finally someone with really useful tips that I will end up using. The timer tip was great. I used the timer a lot via siri on my iphone and now I can just speak while holding it near my face instead of asking the whole sentence.
What watch face are you using in the beginning of the video when you are discussing timers? It looks closest to the modular watch face but I cabr figure out how you got the digital time numbers to be so large andin the center?
What Apple Watch face is that really curious if you downloaded it from a somewhere else cause I can’t find that style on the my watch app and don’t know if it’s available on my series 8
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.
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
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
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.
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 🤷♂
Sometimes, if you’re on an Apple device, the join button does not appear. If you want to join the channel as a member, you need to use a non Apple device.
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
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
12:08 The apple watch is supposed to mirror the iPhone’s display of the camera but for some reason it just shows an empty black screen. It is been a bug about for sometime and often resolve itself while restarting the phone and watch times. Please address this issue. If you didn’t know that.
Thanks Brandon . Until this moment i felt i made a L decision buying apple watch but this video showed me the utility that can be unlocked with the watch.
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.
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
Thanks for the video. In case no one else has mentioned this, one correction; double tap is not exclusive to Apple Watch 9 and above. It has been available at least back to the 7, which I use, if you enable it is settings (accessibility I think). Thanks!
Is there a way to disable to smart stack / widget page on an Apple Ultra 2? It's so annoying as I have all the widget / shortcuts for the apps I want on my watch face and when I accidentally nudge the crown I get the smart stck / widget page, which I would rather not have. Thanks
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.
I didn’t even know that I don’t have to invoke Siri to create a timer. Thanks! BTW you can just say “timer 1 minute”. Don’t even need to say “set timer for ..”
Hey thank you! I’ve owned my Apple Watch Series 7 now for a while and recently started wearing it daily again. What a nice refresher! I knew a few of those, but many thanks! You helped me clean up my watch face, notifications and more!
Hello Brandon thank you for everything you do for us we appreciate your Amazing work and great support you are a big blessing in our lives your videos is better than everybody on UA-cam. They don’t break it down like you do.❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
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.
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 have series 9 and iphone 15 pro max proximity sensor dosent work yes it play sound and light but dosent show me the green screen with direction arrow
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.
Because my wrist is so small, my watch shifts a bit to the outer edge and doesn't stay centered when I raise my arm to use gestures. Many times it doesn't recognize the gesture.
so i been wanting to buy the ultra 2 right. but ever since they was forced to get rid of that blood oxygen feature. if i buy a new ultra 2 from apple will the feature be taken out hardware wise or software wise? do i have to buy a old ultra 2 so that i can have the blood oxygen feature ?
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 UA-cam! 🔥Currently rockin' a Series 8 - Cellular 45mm
I always thought the Apple Watch was kinda pointless but got a series 3 in 2020 and ended up loving it, I upgraded to the se the next year then got the series 8 back in October. I gave my mom my SE when i upgraded to the series 8, my old SE still works but the battery wasn’t the best and I wanted to get the series 9 specifically for the gesture and I wanted a bigger screen so I got a 45mm series 9 and was able to give me mom my series 8 so I know the battery will be good on hers too lol
I have an iphone 15, and a Series 9. But for some reason proxmity find doesn’t work, if i try to press the phone finding button it just vibrates it and doesnt open up the proximity find settings. Help anyone?
Which Apple Watch are you rocking right now?
Wearing Series 8 41mm and it's perfect!
series 9
Series 9 ⌚️
Series 6. It's really nice and relatively affordable.
Series 9 41 mm
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
series 9 is the best

Hello
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.

I just got a S5 today and I want your watch face. Which one do you use ? 😂
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.

came here to ask the same. i really wanna know!!!
6:22 its called Modular Ultra, only for the ultra watches
I think you just made me love my watch a little more thanks again Brandon
Glad I could do that! 😎
What Apple Watch face is that really curious if you downloaded it from a somewhere else cause I can’t find that style on the my watch app and don’t know if it’s available on my series 8
It's called Modular Ultra which is an Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2 only watch face unfortunately.
Love the raise to speak tip. Thanks Brandon 😊😊😊
A feature I use daily! 🙌
@@BrandonButch Funnily enough not when you set timers in your first tip haha
Bro plz share the link for your watch strap
Same bro… for some reason I can’t find one anywhere that looks like it, idk 🤷♂️ why?!
Ever find out? Looks to have zero protrusion out at the edges, could be good for those of us with slim wrists!
The timer setting by speaking just the time works really well for me! Thanks
How can i find the watch face he is using on the video, for Apple Watch Series 10? Or is it only for Ultra models?
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.

Try rolling the crown to zoom in and out

Who makes your metal band ?
Did you have answer?
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
Which band are you using?
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
he actually said 25 tips instead of 22! more tips and tricks for me!! thx for all of them they really helped with my every day watch experience!
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.
good tip! Thanks for sharing
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?
Great video. Which watch face are using? I really like the configuration
Same questions for me... please let us know
I think it’s Modular Ultra and he customized it from Watch app
It’s limited to the ultra series.
I’m rocking the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with watchOS 10.5 beta 1
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 🤷♂
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
Yes

General/autolaunch/disable in Watch app.
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
Hi Brandon. Which watchband are you using in this video? And if it wasn't through the Apple Store, where did you buy it?
@BrandonButch - just following up on my question...thanks
Love your tips, I always press my watch for timers. You saved me a lot during my exercise.
12:08 The apple watch is supposed to mirror the iPhone’s display of the camera but for some reason it just shows an empty black screen. It is been a bug about for sometime and often resolve itself while restarting the phone and watch times.
Please address this issue. If you didn’t know that.
Yes, it's a bug with the latest Beta
I have same problem with my Ultra 2
Roll the crown wheel. Sorted.
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
Thanks Brandon . Until this moment i felt i made a L decision buying apple watch but this video showed me the utility that can be unlocked with the watch.
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.

The best video out there! I just bought my first Apple Watch 2 Ultra and you made my life so much easier by making this video. Thank you!
I’ve the series 8 was thinking of getting the 9 but I’ll wait great video as always 😎
Get you the ultra 2. Best watch ever
Camera Remote is buggy on my Series 8, takes a while to load, sometimes it doesn't load at all.
