Apple Watch

The Apple Watch may be a wrist-sized supercomputer, but it also fulfills the standard watch function of telling time. There are several ways to tell time on the Apple Watch: you can see it, hear it, or feel it. I will also teach you how to set time on Apple Watch and change it when needed.

Your Apple Watch has a Handwashing timer to remind you to wash for 20 seconds, but sometimes your watch may not correctly track your time. If you're worried about having an accurate average handwashing time, you can keep your clean streak going by entering it into the Health app manually.

How do you work out in a world where COVID-19 has made gyms unsafe? The simple answer is to work out at home, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Home workouts seem lackluster when you've been stuck at home for months already. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Apple has met this need head-on with a tech subscription offering, complete with a free trial. The advent of their newest fitness app, Apple Fitness Plus, is timed just right, but the expectations are high for this new service. So how does it measure up?

I recently bought myself an Apple Watch. Now it’s time to find the perfect band for my wrist and I’m a sucker for a good leather cuff. For those of us who have expensive taste (I’m looking at your Hermes) but want to stay in a reasonable budget, this is the list for you. Just make sure to keep these out of water; your Apple Watch may be waterproof, but leather bands are not!

Over the past few years, I have used Skinit for custom adhesive skins and even phone cases, but I recently noticed they also let you create a Custom Apple Watch Band ($45). This is not a sticker, but a faux leather watch band with whatever image you conceive of printed on the surface. I ordered one for Valentine's Day. It was a big hit with my wife and makes for a truly unique present.

Many people are using at-home exercise videos these days, but they can feel very one-size-fits-all. This guide from a fitness professional will help you keep yourself safe and at an appropriate difficulty level while still getting the most out of your workouts with Apple Fitness Plus and other programs.

Before the Apple Watch was released, I rarely considered watch bands to carry much interest. Perhaps at the time of purchase, the watch band style made the difference between one watch or another. But when the Apple Watch was released, I was perfectly content with bland black band that strapped the watch to my wrist. But as the variety of band styles blossomed and the ease of swapping bands on the watch became frictionless, my curiosity piqued. So I made a concerted effort to seek out the bands I found best aligned with my fashion sense and personality. Fortunately that search ended rather quickly and successfully once the website Supwatch.com came to my attention.

February is Black History Month, so Apple is celebrating by offering curated content featuring Black creators across all their platforms. From Music, to News, to even a Black Unity Apple Watch band collection, here are all the different features Apple is promising.

The Blood Oxygen app for the Apple Watch Series 6 is a timely and important update in our COVID-affected world, but it's not obvious how to set up the Blood Oxygen app the first time you use it. We'll show you how to set up your Apple Watch oxygen monitor, plus we'll help you understand the basics of how to read your results so that you can monitor your oxygen saturation levels.
