Apple Watch connection problems

Hi all

I have a Apple Watch Sport and a 6s watch OS running iPhone 2 and iOS 9 respectively. Sometimes, but not always, my watch will repeatedly connect and disconnect to my phone. I can watch on my phone bluetooth icon go on, then off, then blink (reconnection). I can't find a specific cause, or a resolution. Everyone knows about this problem? How can I solve this problem?

Thank you, and all help is appreciated.

    can Apple Watch connect with monitor polar heart?

    Hello

    If you are referring to the H7 polar, then Yes, we can.

    Firstly turn off pairing the monitor from other devices which he may previously have paired with (for example your iPhone), then:

    • Wear the polar H7 (which lights up by being broken to the strap and rotates when detached).
    • On Apple Watch, go to settings > Bluetooth.
    • Wait that Polar H7 appears, then press it.

  • Apple Watch battery problems

    I received my Apple Watch, 38 mm, Sport edition yesterday and have been loving him. However, I am having a few problems with the battery. Eventually, I expect too much, but the battery seems to pass quite quickly. Last night, while trying to use a sleep monitoring app, my watch died 6 hours only, when there was a load of 95%. Today, I did a test and canceled my watch 20 minutes. I didn't turn it on, or even move. Less than 20 minutes, he had already lost 4%. This is how the battery is usually? Or I'm dealing with a real problem? In addition, all the patches? Currently I am restarting my phone and my watch. I wouldn't send it and wait anxiously for another week. Thank you!

    Hello

    Battery life varies depending on use and other factors.

    According to your daily use, it may be normal for your watch to require nightly charge.

    During tests, for example, Apple has reached 18 hours of battery life with the next use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of usage of the app and a workout of 30 minutes with Apple Watch Bluetooth music playback. Other examples of the life of the battery when using different are available here:

    http://www.Apple.com/watch/battery.html

    If your watch is shorter battery life than would suggest examples of Apple that you should expect, try the following steps, which have helped to solve the problems of the battery life for some users:

    For optimal performance of your watch (including more efficient communication in energy between your devices), keep the Wi - Fi or Bluetooth enabled at all times on your iPhone.

  • Apple Watch connection icon

    My son has experimented with his new Apple Watch today, and after setting the phone down, it found the phone. Thus, he went to his watch, crept upward to display looks and got to the first to allow him to ping the phone. Top of the page it showed connected as always, but instead of the phone icon, it appeared to show a cloud icon. Looking at Apple Watch user's Guide, I could not locate this icon, or an explanation of this anywhere.

    Does anyone know what it means, or where I could see an explanation of the icon? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Chris

    The cloud icon in the settings look when the watch is connected to a Wi - Fi network compatible, having been unable to connect via Bluetooth with iPhone matched.

    This allows us to offer a broader set of features compared with operation on a fully autonomous / disconnected from base, as described in the second article linked below.

  • Apple Watch unlock Mac Setup Frustration

    I own a first generation of Apple Watch and an end 2013 13 "MacBook Pro and last mac mini (i5). I went through the entire setup process to have my watch unlock my MacBook several times. (All along the) When I get to choose the button "Allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac", it runs for awhile and then I get the "unable to contact Apple Watch" fast. It seems to be my watch because if I try and let the Apple Watch locked, she'll tell me to unlock, and then try again. Happens on MacBook Pro and mac mini in the same way.

    I tried to research on this problem and we tried all authentication reset to two factors for an agreement again all settings and turn it on again.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    Hello pgirardi,

    I appreciate that you try to unlock your two computers using your Apple Watch with watch OS 3.  The resources below provide the steps and requirements to do this.  I would just try it with a single computer until you have a job before trying the second computer.

    Automatically unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch

    The first time you open a session after you turn on or restart your Mac, connect by entering your password manually. After that, Apple Watch connects to you.

    Set up automatic unlock

    Make sure your Apple Watch uses watch OS 3, and your Mac to mid-2013 or newer model uses macOS Sierra.
    For more information, see system requirements of continuity.

    Automatic unlocking

    Automatic unlock works with these devices and operating systems:

    watchOS 3 macOS Sierra
    • Apple Watch (1st generation)
    • Apple Watch series 1
    • Apple Watch series 2

    • MacBook (early 2015 or newer)
    • MacBook Pro (late 2013 or newer)
    • MacBook Air (mid-2013 or newer)
    • Mac mini (late 2014 or newer)
    • iMac (late 2013 or newer)
    • Mac Pro (end of 2013 or later)

    Make sure your Apple ID to use instead of the two-step verification two factor authentication. Learn more.

    Make sure that your devices are configured as follows:

    • Your Mac has Bluetooth and Wi - Fi enabled.
    • Your Mac and Apple Watch are connected to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
      On your Mac, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud.
      On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then go to general > Apple ID.
    • Your Apple Watch uses a password.
      On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, then type the access code.
    • Your Mac has "allow your Apple Watch unlock your Mac" selected in Security & Privacy preferences.
      Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on Privacy & Security, then select the general tab.

    pgirardi, if you are unable to unlock your main computer after trying these steps, then you will need to cancel the match your iPhone and Apple Watch and try again.

    Cancel the match your iPhone and Apple Watch

    Take care.

    Hello

    Normal Bluetooth range is about 10 meters/33 feet. Actual range varies in practice because of wireless interference, but you don't need necessarily to have your iPhone on or just around you (scope of arms, for example) for Apple Watch and matched iPhone maintain their Bluetooth connection.

    Your watch can still carry out certain functions when it is not connected to your iPhone, including some that are available when your watch is connected to a known Wi - Fi network.

    My Apple Watch has problems with the application of the activity. When I got to watch it took plenty of exercise and the effort to fill the ring of exercise of 30 minutes, to the point where I thought there was something wrong with her lol

    Since the first update last year, it's completely the opposite now. He recorded a lot too much exercise. For example; Today it is said that I did 83 minutes of exercise and I didn't exercise. I have been active, but only in a market autour, shopping etc. of passage kind. But according to the watch I did almost a value of an hour and a half of exercise.

    Is there a way can I fix? I calibrated it and did 2 x 10 minutes walk with my phone in my hand etc... Services of location and movement etc is on... I did several hikes to bike with it too... I just looked at the watch again, and I did 3 minutes more exercise that I write this lol heart rate is normal etc. I don't know what to do?
