Apple Watch Shake to alarm screen function

This is a feature request.

Imagine yourself in a metro/bus holding a bracelet with your Apple Watch on this wrist.

Plus you have a bag or an umbrella in the other hand. Now, you have two options to find out what the time:

  1. let pass the strap, put down your arm and raise it to see your watch dial.
  2. you could ask someone

If I could only shake my watch to see my face of the watch while I still hold the strap.

The solution is obviously a function "shake to reactivate the display. Is it not?

  • Apple Watch after upgrade to watch OS 3 - flashing screen after update

    Apple Watch 42 mm

    I recently like millions out there I've updated my Apple Watch to watch OS 3. Today noon 15/09/2016, I noticed that when I raised my hand/wrist to wake up screen Apple Watch it flickered once. I did this action several times to confirm that I clearly understand what was going on. I started to solve the problem, powered off/on power the Apple Watch. Issue continues. I did a reset on the Apple Watch hold the button of the Crown and the power at the same time until the powers of the device and restart. This action eliminates the problem. Apple Watch works as expected, screen flicker stopped when hand/wrist is triggered and screen Apple Watch wakes up to the top. Unfortunately, after some time between 2 and 3 hours of new screen flickering starts. I did some digging online but have not encountered this problem. I realize that the watch OS 3 has only been published days before so I wasn't expecting to fall on part.

    My question: is this a known problem that will be patched with an upcoming release or I'm the first to report this problem? Any information would be much appreciate.

    It is too early to know if it would be regarded as a known issue. This is not the case on my Apple Watch after the update.

    See if a matching and re pairing your watch makes a difference.

  • App Apple Watch Timer is setting alarms

    I see a weird behavior with the OS3 timer app Watch: when the countdown is reached, I get the usual "done timer' screen with the bell sounds and the haptic feedback. I type the 'Stop' and stop the alerts. So far so good, but after 1 or 2 seconds, an alarm goes off saying "COUNT_DOWN_TIME_REACHED". Of course, I know that, I just rejected in the clock application so why also the notifications of alarms app? This never happened in OS1 and OS2. Is it supposed to be a 'novelty' for OS3? Is it possible to disable it?

    Restart your Apple Watch

    1. Hold down the side button until you see the cursor off the power.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device.
    3. Once your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

  • How to make Apple Watch screen to return to the normal mode

    I looked at my Apple Watch and noticed the content is super zooms (and I did nothing to make this way - not to play with the settings, etc.). I can barely see the content and I can't navigate to see one of the HMI. If something happened to cause the content to appear in this way, it was not intentional on my part I restarted the clock. She finds the same zoom level. I took a screenshot of the problem, but the screenshot doesn't really show what is on my screen. It shows what the screen is supposed to look like.

    I took some photos of my Apple Watch with my iPhone to help you see the problem.

    Ideas?

  • Apple Watch scratched screen

    I got my Apple Watch since Christmas and I love it.  Recently, I noticed a scratch on the screen.  Not sure how it happened.  It does not interfere with something else and shows only when light hits a certain way, but it's boring.  I kept thinking this is a task, but when it doesn't come off, I saw that it was a scratch.  I have a first generation 38mm sports watch rose gold.  Is there a way to replace the screen?
