How to Fix Apple Watch Problems

Too many notifications buzzing your wrist

Some may call this a feature, but we think the incessant buzzes on your wrist that come with wearing an Apple Watch is actually a problem. Now, we’re not talking about messages and calls, but by default, when you connect up your shiny new wearable, all the normal notifications that come to your phone go to your wrist.
That means Instagram likes, pesky nudges from games you forgot you had installed, pop-ups to buy stuff. That stuff is fine to disregard on your phone, but it’s much more of a pain on your wrist.
To clean things up a bit, head into the Apple Watch companion app on your phone, into Notifications and toggle off the apps you don’t want pestering you.

Battery life draining quickly

Surprisingly, the Apple Watch performs pretty well when it comes to battery life and it’s definitely one of the longest lasting smartwatches on the market right now. But, during our use we have some experiences where the device would randomly start losing juice rapidly.
Just like on the iPhone, this seems to be down to dodgy apps that consume to much power. So go through your downloads and try deleting any you installed near the time the battery life worsened. This seemed to work for us.

Find your phone battery dies too quickly

The iPhone has never really impressed us all that much when it comes to battery - well apart from maybe the iPhone 6 Plus - but that problems becomes even more obvious when your dying also means the watch on your wrist is less 'smart' than your thirty year old Casio. But, actually the Watch can still function even when your iPhone is dead. If you're connected to a known Wifi network - say your home - you'll still be able to chat to Siri, send and receive messages.

Still got problems?

If you’re still having mega problems, we’d suggest giving the whole thing a complete reset before you go running off to Apple.
This can be done through the Watch itself, just head into settings - general - rest - erase all contents and settings.
