  That’s true! But if someone just got their first Apple Watch, they might not be aware of that feature.

Battery issues. I never like SmartWatches because original wristwatches can do about the same thing and all they need is voice commands. That’s it. Wrist watches, does anybody remember how long that battery life was? That was months if not years.

My best setting change was rotating the screen so the digital crown was on the other side. I use my thumb to roll the digital crown. Much better experience imo. Try it before you knock it.

One topic I was hoping you would touch and didn’t notice you did, because I was wondering if this feature is available or not on the watch is there a way to put my phone and watch in automatic “do not disturb” status while working out? If there is, please explain. Thanks

  Use the fitness focus in the settings on your iPhone. It will silence your notifications when you start a workout on both your phone and Apple Watch.
