A Home widget for the Smart Stack… a Workout widget that looks decent or has at least the icon. Non redundant Timer/Stopwatch widgets. (You start either and you get it running on the widget itself but also ANOTHER unnecessary widget at the top of the stack…)

Tell me the charging status of my phone.

  • Ability to connect to car Bluetooth or even CarPlay
  • Features and functionality in general that allow me to simply leave my phone at home.
  • True all day battery even when putting the watch through a workout, the above in-car connectivity, phone calls, etc.
  • Blood pressure monitoring

Connecting to a car is a nice feature, I have an older Jeep and I use a BT adaptor so I can do this with my watch and it’s nice.

Blood Glucose Monitoring.

[–] Your_Couzen@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hologram projection, video for face time. The ability use the night mode for every single watch face. Backflip.

Auto resume workouts.. can’t believe it isn’t implemented yet.

Sleep apnea and snoring detection. If you don’t know you are stopping breathing or have obstructed airways when you are sleeping, how can you get them addressed? I know there’s apps that have this feature but having it built in would be amazing. Built in heart rate alerts for a custom heart rate(s) you enter and have those 24/7, not just when at rest. Super helpful for those of us with energy limiting illnesses who have been advised to keep our bodies from getting above a certain heart rate. More frequent blood oxygen readings. There’s no way to adjust the frequency.

the aw tracks your breathing and even tells you when there is a change in your average breaths per minute, no? I know its not quite what you mean but I believe it would may be possible to find out about a sleep apnea if you take a close look on your data.

I can not for the life of me understand why I can't check my phone's battery % from my watch without the aid of a third-party app.

I just need the Sunrise/sunset indicator back after it was removed for no reason 😭😭😭

I know it’s a little counterintuitive, but being able to get sound/notifications on the watch AND phone.

[–] Former-Darkside@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I want to configure the stem and button functions.

[–] Top-Historian8779@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To all the people asking for blood pressure monitoring, can you point to a device that has this feature as part of a smart watch/fitness tracker? What are you all talking about?

Personally, my most realistic wanted feature would be ambient (room) temperature readings.

My dream feature would be solar charging/capture.

And rest days. Apple already includes them as part of competitions, so I'm not sure why they are struggling to include this in personal fitness tracking.

A 24 MP camera, including HD video capabilities.

[–] szabistian@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

More Digital Watchfaces

[–] OeilBlanc@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A native step counter customizable like pedometer++

[–] Business-Ad-1452@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

To be able to turn on / off my torch on my phone

[–] TimyMcTimface@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Smart wake up alarm. Similar to Sleep Cycle, but in an Apple way.

[–] SquashedBerries4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Holographic display

Just me? Okay🥲

[–] HatefulkeelJr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think it’d be cool if your watch could tell you when you have/are starting to get a fever

[–] Xyzzydude@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ability to set 24 or 12 hour time by complication.

I don’t want everything on my watch to be in 24hr time, just to get the GMT ring in 24 time like it should be.

[–] majombaszo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

UV sensor. I had a Microsoft watch back when they were in the phone game and their watch had a UV sensor on it and you could set up warnings on it for exposure.

[–] Az75@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Don’t consider walking as an exercise …

[–] Longlegsmsu01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Play Sirius XM or another music app from my watch. Also would be nice to be able to respond to teams notifications on my watch.

i just want more digital watch faces.

Charge to 80% only limit to preserve battery health

[–] pj_rage@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

3rd party faces. I can’t for the life of me understand why they don’t have this yet. It would be a huge moneymaker and would sell more watches.

[–] virilerogue@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

longerrrrr battery and volume control for the chime feature; can never hear it.

[–] Gorillapox@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I want a setting so that the timer alert will vibrate once instead of continuously.

More house task workouts, like lawn mowing and shoveling snow, it’s not a traditional work out but they should be added because most people are doing those activities.

Swipe to change watch faces.

[–] Independent_Main4326@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The ability to design my OWN watch face, rather than just selecting one approved by Comrade Cook and his merry mates.

[–] Ok-Stuff-8803@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Proper custom watch faces. It’s really the biggest personalisation option they are not doing.

Does not have to be open with AI. Even if Apple first partner with watch companies, movie companies and so on and release licensed watch faces be it fired or 1.99 -3.99 on the App Store where they make them… a lot of people will be very much in.

A Harry Potter watch face would sell like crazy for example.

[–] gazsiazasz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

downgrade to watchOS 9

[–] csmobro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rest days, real-time steps and an official steps complication
