For the haptic feedback while navigating, there’s a fine intuitive detail so you can remember what direction it’s telling you to go. Going left mimics a heartbeat, and your heart is located left of center in your body. A tiny little nuance, but it makes perfect sense.
7:38 As a baldie who saves money by cutting my own hair I can confirm using the Apple Watch to access my phone camera and then using the phone to check the back of my head is a great way to make sure I haven't missed any places 🤣

I love your instructional videos! I have a question on this one though. I can’t get the timer or siri app to come up when I hold the crown - when I do, nothing happens. Is there a setting that needs to be set? I have an SE watch. Thank you.
This was amazingly helpful in a concise organized manner, and presented so well. I never subscribed so quickly, and of course you get a thumbs up! Thank you! Cheers, Michael Albuquerque NM USA PS Your British accent adds a touch 007’s “Q” cache to the information shared! Americans just love this!
Wow! The timers feature is excellent. I didn't know that one. I always set them by hand previously. The Apple Pay is great, too, but I think it would be more useful if it didn't require me to set up a pass code on the watch.
Does your watch not unlock with your iPhone or is this a separate thing outside the UK? Watch app on your phone, passcode, unlock with iPhone. Sorry if I’ve picked this up wrong but I never need to use a code paying with Apple Pay just double click the side button and hold near the card reader.
Great tutorial 👍🏻 just a couple of things the left behind takes too long to let you know as I am miles down the road , is there a way you can make it faster ? Also Apple Pay on a couple of occasions I’ve used it it says present card but I left my cards at home ?
I was aware of 1 out the 12 tips you shared. Every time I watch one of your videos I am guaranteed to learn something new. Thank you for such thorough videos.
I’ve had the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for almost a year now and does anybody know why still wear your watch for at least six nights for you to be able to read your temperature? It still says that.
Thanks! I needed the haptics off for CarPlay driving. I was pretty sure that has been draining my battery during work trips and have been meaning to find out how. I used to laugh about being notified that I’d left my iPad behind everyday - somehow the system learned home on its own and had already excepted that address. And I may look into that lumen thing. Intriguing.
are you satisfied with the EUFY Security cameras and features? Thinking about a new camera system for our home but want to have one thats good included in the apple eco system
Regarding Shazam via Siri - I have found on a number of occasions that using the Siri method resulted in non-recognition, and then opening Shazam proper before the song ends and trying it that way resulted in correct identification. This has happened often enough that I now I always use the Shazam app on the watch. Just fyi.
All great info, sir. Quick note: be sure your watch is unlocked if you want it to wake up your Mac. Sometime I forget to unlock it when I put my watch on and then wonder why my Mac is ignoring me!
I am really enjoying your videos! Thank you! I see that this video was sponsored by Lumen, would you be able to do a video on how to use Lumen? Or recommend any videos on how to use it?
Excellent! Thanks. My watch opens my iMac, which is such a timesaver! I also always have my Find My on for my phone as I don’t want to leave it home without it-ever!
Tom, I've never been able to unlock my Mac with either my Apple Watch or the Touch ID button on my Apple keyboard. I've always had to enter my password manually. Is this because I have a MacMini rather than a MacBook? I have all the appropriate options turned on in my settings.
I have a 2018 Mac Mini and it has never reliably worked with Unlock My Mac on the Apple Watch. This is a probkem that others have also reported and there are discussion threads in many places about it. I don't know if the newer M series Mac Minis suffer from the same problem.
I have found that it seems to work with the very top of the fingertip. It could be that is what I setup initially and it would offer it the middle part of my finger--that didn't work. It now pretty consistently unlocks with my finger. Also, I don't press it like it is a button, I just touch my finger to it.
@@SignorLuigi Mine is an M2 MacMini Pro from earlier this year so it seems even with the newer chip it still doesn't work (either with the watch or my finger on the key). The fingertip on the key works just fine to unlock 1Password though.
I have used my Apple Watch to open my MacBook from the day I got it (MacBook). Fingerprint identification does not work for me - it lasts a day, maybe. Thank goodness newer iPhones and iPads don't use fingerprint identification anymore. I knew a few of your tips so thanks for the others.
Why Apple Watch has cellular; So I enjoy going for walks without my phone. But I don’t want to leave my phone in a restaurant. I have now enabled the feature you just showed. Thank you very much for that. 🙏
As always, your videos are a great help. Thank you for sharing all this information. Now, I have noticed that Shazam identifies a song with the Apple Watch, but does not sync with the iPhone. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, checking Music Sync with iCloud and more. Still, the information doesn’t sync. Do you know how to resolve this issue? Thanks for your help.
Always worth my time, as there’s always one or two nuggets I didn’t know about. Appreciate learning today about alert if left behind…except at, and the camera remote functionality. Nice job!
When I add a debit card to the wallet, I can't use the watch for anything without adding the PIN every time. Is there a way to use Apple Pay on the watch without the PIN?
Look a few messages above yours for a similar situation and solution. It's very doable, and you wouldn't want your watch to allow you to spend money without a PIN...because if it wasn't YOU who had your watch...
Moving my finger to my device is easier than moving the device - or my face - in line & close enough to, my camera. Offering both would be my preference.
Been a subscriber for a little while now but new to Apple Watch. Great tips and tricks, really appreciate it. MacBook with my Apple Watch logging me in is pretty awesome. Just on the Mac tips and tricks now
an interesting quirk of using apple pay on either iPhone or apple watch is if you ever need to see your last transactions ... they don't sync. So watch transactions on the watch, iPhone transactions on the iPhone. Also, if you ever need to return an item you purchased when you paid with apple pay the retailer might ask to confirm the number of the card you used. To find this you activate apple pay, choose the card and scroll down to card details to reveal the different numbers (on mine there are separate card numbers for Visa, eftpos and card number
I need to mention (for those who don't know and in countries that Apple Pay just starting) that paying with Apple Watch works even if your iPhone is out of range and you do not need internet or eSim.
I loved it when I found out about using the watch to unlock my Mac but there was a feature (of course I can’t remember what it was ) that was disabled on the Mac if you unlocked it with the watch, so sadly, I turned it off. It was handy though.
Maps: I live in Rome, and thanks to your prompt, I gave my watch a local street address. The system worked perfectly. As far as Apple Pay is concerned, it works perfectly here in Italy, and, recently, in Norway. There is another feature: signing into a website, where it allows one to sign in with Apple (or Google, etc.) without using my Apple ID, I start the access process then the watch (Apple Watch 9) intervenes and gives me access, without my needing to supply it. What I deplore about the AW is having to charge the battery every day. Mac is supposedly come out with a new model that has a longer-lasting battery. It makes me wonder if I can trade in one AW model for a newer model.
You’re the best. Do you know how to time schedule your action button on the Ultra? For example, set the action button for exercises AM -during the day and PM the action button changes to the flashlight
You will be able to do this on Watch OS 11. there is a long press function for the action button with which you can switch between all the available options
you can even use the camera app on the watch to take photos.🤣 keep up the good work and info; you are better than the other iPhone watch etc reviewers.
I use Siri on my Apple Watch, to tell me how much battery percentage my watch has left. I simply say "Siri, battery percentage of watch", and Siri will tell me how much battery percentage I have left. I can also tell my iPhone "Siri, battery percentage of watch", and I will be told how much battery percentage is remaining on my watch.
Regarding #10, unlocking your Mac with your watch. This actually doesn't work half the time and your Mac will tell you it isn't going to work. It will tell you right under the password entry field, "Your password is required." So I'm not 100% sure how this works, but I think you actually need to type it once every 24 hours or something. It will similarly disable Touch ID on a MacBook (or a Mac with the keyboard that has Touch ID on it, I suppose) until it gets the password manually entered. However, if someone *else* wants to use the Mac, it will unlock your account for them every time if you're nearby. Because my wife also uses our desktop Mac, I've had to disable the feature because it creates additional steps for her to get to her stuff.
I wish the apple wallets would synchronise with each other. Ie i use my watch for 90% of my shopping, occasionally i use my phone, usually when I have the wallet open anyway for a store card like Tesco. I just wish all the transactions would be listed on the phone for checking out later
** Important side notes **, iMac went black upon choosing lock with no lock screen message, but only after my watch took awhile to locate my desktop. More importantly, desktop restarted 2x after entering passcode.
I have a 3rd generation Apple Watch that takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. I'll use it till it dies rather than send it to the floating garbage pile in the ocean. I've known Apple users who will never be without the latest Apple products no matter how much that impacts the environment
Seems like some people use watches so they use their phone less. But then it seems like watches are gaining all the features of the phone. And also it's another piece of technology to learn. O, the slavery of it all!
I find that the "find me" function is too slow. When I leave work I am sitting on the bus 15 mins later when it tells me I've left my phone behind.
Same
Yup! So sloooow! It worked good at beginning literally as I walk 15 meters away.
Yup after walking away for mins it’s more like to tell you to go back and get it .
Turn on the Turbo Boost selection. It’s way faster.

Hi PHT.. I can't find any device on my apple ultra 2 .. where do i avtivate it?
Brilliant video.
When 'find device' is activated, what would be the impact on the battery charge?
TRULY DETAILED EXPLANATION
Do you need to be 18 to use Apple Pay on the apple watch in the US?
When I add a debit card to the wallet, I can't use the watch for anything without adding the PIN every time. Is there a way to use Apple Pay on the watch without the PIN?

Sounds like a bank issue…I’ve never had an issue with debit cards needing pins and I’ve had accounts with a few different banks over the years.
Using the camera remote to access a view from the phone is genius!
