iOS 13 initial opinions ... Watch OS 6 coming

[lost in space]

We don’t have anything modern enough for iOS 13. I’m curious the new Maps app. How is it?

Menstrual-tracking?

There's a glaring bug that makes it look like the activity rings haven't been filled when they are.
.

if you have no need for the menstrual tracking app simply delete it. i did. women hold up half the sky and are a market to be developed for.

my activity rings have been operating as expected.

though i've not been a big user of the Reminders app i'm finding it a lot more useful. i have been keeping my grocery shopping list with Alexa but in the store the app takes forever to open on the phone and then i have to drill down to the list. i've now moved my shopping list to Reminders which i set up to open as a complication on my infograph watch face. much more convenient!

gray locks, thanks for posting. We also use the Alexa app for shopping but find the app terrible to access on the go.

I’ll have to try reminders.

Maybe Apple has a useful Siri app after all.

Right.

Point is that there are not a lot of useful changes to the watchOS and the most notable change -- the new menstrual tracking feature -- may be one that rjmacs can do without.

The few new things that I have noted on the watch include:

The list of apps that you get when tapping the stem has larger icons and text (had to tweak the text size settings in the watch app to make that look better);

The Activity app now shows some awards if you swipe past the old challenge screen. I was under the impression that there'd be more new stuff here. There's not.

The App Store app is a bunch of annoying adds. Have not seen any use for it as yet. Maybe the model7 will be independent of the phone and an App Store will be useful at that point.

The new calculator app is nice, but I already had a calculator app on my watch that did all of that.

The Workout app can show stats from your last workout (as a preset minimum for your next workout), but the "open" button to start a new workout seems to now be way more sensitive than the other buttons so every time that I review my history I inadvertently start a new workout and wipe the stats.

...There's no "Noise" app on my watch or in the Watch app. I have a model3. I guess this only appears for model4/5 users.

Perhaps you haven't "closed" a ring yet?

In this picture, the Move, Exercise and stand goals for the day have each been completed.

What's wrong with this picture?
