A camera.

Notifications that work.

I have a 3 so I’m not sure if this is a feature by now, but I’d like to be able to see my phone’s battery % from the watch

[–] mmk_eunike@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Automation/shortcut options referring to the WATCH battery specifically (there's only for the iPhone!). I'd love to create an automation that would give me a notification whenever my watch battery is low!

The ability to sell them to Android users.

Auto detection for switching between (e.g.) walking and running, so I don't have to keep fiddling with the watch when I'm out exercising. (I don't use a timed schedule for it.) It should deal with or ignore very short switches (e.g., out walking but run across a street to beat the light).

Bring back old watch face switching it’s factually worse for those of us that do it regularly 😾

Smart alarm. It will wake you up when your in light sleep instead of one set time just like sleep cycle app. Must needed feature

I would love to see an “ankle mode” as I tend to wear my watch on my ankle during runs bc if I’m not moving my arms it doesn’t seem to count the distance/steps therefore my metrics are off.

Would also love to see a “treadmill run” function with improved distance readings for those measurements - my watch is about .25 mi lower than the treadmill distance since it’s not working with gps like on outdoor runs.

Adjustable brightness instead of always relying on the ambient light sensor.

Adjustable wake duration beyond 15 and 70 seconds. Who came up with a random number like 70 and why is there such a dramatic difference and nothing in between or shorter?

[–] edogawafan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

For the notification to go away if I’ve already seen it even if it’s just been 5 seconds.

Longer battery life!!!!!! At least 3 days!

[–] Kriskao@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Control iPad media playback

i already can control my Apple TV and my iPhone media playback. Why not my iPad?

[–] gerardolourdes@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Naps please 🙏🏻

Show Reminders Flagged items in the wide Reminders complication, rather than only allowing the Today view. If you use Reminders, then the natural path is to flag stuff each day, not to assign specific times for each item. You can change the iPhone widgets this way, it's maddening that you can do it on the watch, too.

[–] slapmypitchup@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

seriously! any customization for the wide scroll down complications for reminders would be huge. APPLE TIM GIVE REMINDERS LOVE

Battery life

[–] Sylvurphlame@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
  1. I’d like to go back to just Recent and Favorite timers, instead of Revents and an ever growing list of every random timer I’ve ever set on watchOS 10
  2. More customizable Watch faces and options for analog hands or digital display where applicable. Not necessarily third party faces, but say I want to take Infograph and replace the analog hands with digital time on one of the sub dial, or I want to replace the time display on a Modular variant with digital time and an additional complication.
  3. Non-invasive Glucose Approximation

Make pancakes. ⌚️🥞✨

Ability to connect with any phone (including Android) 😄

[–] jbtma99@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I just want my manual “turn the crown” for night mode back on my ultra. The automatic selection is annoying me to no end, and I actually use night mode.

[–] rax94@alien.top 0 points 10 months ago (3 children)
  1. Auto detect sleep rather than using sleep schedule
  2. With the above working, set “sleep duration based alarms”. For example, I want it to wake me up 30 mins after I fell asleep during the day (nap)
[–] Sylvurphlame@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Interesting ideas but I don’t see them manifesting. Apple’s entire sleep tracking philosophy is encouraging regularly nightly sleep habits, not just tracking whenever you randomly nap during the day. That’s why it only tracks during sleep focus and only records if it’s been more than four hours. From Apple’s perspective, you’re meant to be working on a good nightly sleep routine.

I would like intelligent sleep alarms, i.e up to ±X minutes from the nominal alarm time to try to wake you during a lighter sleep phase.

Accurate readings while worn on the ankle. A lot of people work in fields that don’t allow you to have a watch on your wrist

[–] Squischmallow@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I some wear it on their bicep instead to get around that
