Whether you have the best Apple Watch in the market, a humble Apple Watch SE, or even an older model, Watchos is home to a large number of options, buried in the corners and cracks of the configuration menus, which can make or break their Apple Watch experience.
There are some configurations that always change when I am using my Apple Watch, be it notification sounds, lifting adjustments to vigil and others. But there are also some configurations that people often overlook when they use their Apple Watch.
I have been using Apple Watch for 10 years, both as a technological writer and Apple employee, and these are some of the most common mistakes that people commit, very included.
1. Do not update your physical conditioning objectives
Even users for Apple Watch beginners will be familiar with Apple addictive activity rings that track their movement, exercise and maintain goals throughout the day. Closing your rings is an excellent way to stay healthy and active, with fun rewards and badges that are offered to make it easily taken care of.
That said, there is an aspect that could have forgotten, and those are their physical conditioning objectives. Select your physical conditioning goals every time you set up a new Apple Watch for the first time.
If you do not buy a new Apple watch every year, or restores your new model from a backup, there is the possibility that you have not seen your goals in yearsAnd as such it could be time to change them.
If you establish relatively modest objectives when you obtained your Apple Watch for the first time, and discover that you are crushing them daily, it may be time to increase those goals and press a little more.
Suppose that your movement goal is a very low calorie number, or establishes your stand objective in a misery one hour because you just wanted to continue using your Apple Watch. Why not visit those goals again and give you a boost? On the contrary, if you are struggling to reach the goals that are too ambitious, why not review them at more modest levels to help increase their motivation?
To change your physical conditioning objectives, simply go to Activity application on your clock, move down and touch the -+ icon in the lower right corner to change its objectives. Remember to apply the principles of progressive overload here. If you are happily handling 10 minutes of exercise, you may try 15 or 20, but do not exaggerate it and go to more than 60 years, even 15 is an increase of 50%.
Do not administer your notifications
Even the most basic notification management in your Apple Watch will save you a world of frustration. Having blows and pings on Wrist sounds very good, but after 10 minutes you will find notifications of Hilariously annoying Apple Watch.
The notifications of your Apple Watch, especially superfluous, distract and exhaust the battery. At least, use the Apple Watch, do not bother to get some respite; Just remember that this also silence your iPhone.
A more effective way to administer your notifications is to use the focus mode on your iPhone, which can help Soft notifications while at work, exercise or simply try to get a time of personal inactivity.
Finally, go to Notifications Apple Watch application section on your iPhone and alternate what iPhone applications you want to see notifications in your Apple Watch: I guarantee that you will turn off half of them, and your doll will thank you.
Formulating this list, I decided on emergency contacts as my final choice with a smile. “Who has no emergency contacts configured in Apple Watch?” I mocked myself in silence.
Me. That is the one. I had no emergency contacts configured in my Apple Watch.
I thought I had done it, but I’m not sure why. Maybe I assumed that it was automatic, or maybe I thought about doing it once and then I never did.
In your Apple Watch application, go to SOS of emergencymove down to emergency contacts to verify their own. If your Apple Watch automatically calls emergency services after blocking or falling, or if you do it manually keeping the side button, your watch can also automatically notify family and friends their difficult situation, including information about their location.
You must absolutely verify your contact list, including friends and loved ones there. You must also verify that the contacts you have configured continues to be relevant and that your numbers have not changed. Apple Watch’s emergency SOS function is a vital security tool that even Tim Cook has used, so you don’t be a plum like me.
