Is there a code to join your Octoberfest challenge?

Are you still doing OTF? How are you liking it? I’m just going to sign up tomorrow night & hoping it doesn’t kill me!

It's best to get what feels best to you - glad you got to try before you buy! I have the 42 stainless steel & love it (not a scratch in almost a year). You can add me when you get yours (I'll add you on here & you can message me when your watch arrives). I've totally fallen off the wagon and need some new challenges to get…

I'm hoping that I've fixed my AW problem with sharing - you may get an invite from me if I had your user info before. I lost all my history on the Activity app, but at least I didn't lose my Achievements! Time to get back in the game!

Just to clarify - with the AW, you can't make phone calls without having your phone on you, unless you using wifi calling (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205547) - that link shows you what you can and can't do without your phone Also, if you like the social aspect, you can do activity sharing on the watch or use an app…

@teach0722 - what kind of tips are you looking for?

I got a rash with both my Fitbit & my AW sportband. I've switched to the woven nylon band and haven't had the same problem. I did get a nasty blistering under the watch itself (people have complained of burns!) - I think an app I used made it run overly hot. I switched wrists for a bit & haven't seen it again. I've been…

Is anybody else here having problems with sharing on their AW? I've been sharing for months, but for the past week everybody has had zeros next to their names. I don't think you all have stopped exercising! I've just unpaired/re-paired my watch & now all my shared friends have disappeared! The data was updating on my…

I have the same problem too Melanie - it's with specific people. If I message by watch it gets rejected, but if I send a text on my phone it goes through fine. I did the update last night, so I'll have to see if it continues.

Looks like it's only for Americans ... like @jwebb949 said ... "where was the achievement for us Canadians eh?" (Obviously I'm not really complaining, just whining a little - I'd like the extra motivation!)

Hey @MelanieCN77 - where did you find this? I don't usually track my walks as "walks" because of how little exercise time it gives me. I do about 4.5 km in an hour, but I'm lucky if it gives me 10-15 min. of exercise in the watch. If I want to join in that challenge, I'll have to track as a walk or it won't calculate my…

I'm pretty new here (just found this group at the end of last week ... but as to your question "Do I fit in here?" - if you want to lose weight by Christmas - YES! Welcome & good luck!

I'm not sure I'd want more than 25. I'm not against the option for others, but it might just be a bit too much tapping on my arm if I'm following 25+ people (which is, I assume, why Apple limited the number you can add).

I just checked AW support because I thought we were limited to sharing with 10 people - it's actually 25. The Activity Club app that Nadine suggested does work, but at this point, to me anyway, it's too many places to check. I've got to be able to fit a full-time job in around this healthy living stuff! :D

Having names/emails helps - when you respond directly through the watch, it sometimes sends as a phone number, which is confusing. Any time I get a phone number, I'm responding with a "who are you" (phrased nicely ;)) ... and I add that info to my contact list so the name shows up from that point on. So, @rescuedelta8 ...…

Name:Jacquie Height:5'4" Weight: Goal Weight by Christmas:-15 Any NSVs you are aiming for:I want to keep my MFP/AW streak going. I've been doing well for 3 weeks - "they" say its a habit after a month :) Interesting fact about you: Paddling is my thing - but the water will soon be frozen. It's time to find a winter "thing"!

How do we find people on the Activity Club app?

I don't miss the sleep tracking - I found it very inaccurate on my fitbit (I tried the different sensitivity levels too). The problem with the AW is that you have to charge it every night, so you can't use it to track sleep even if you find an app (well, I guess you could, but then you couldn't wear it all day). I tried…

That is sooo me! I am loving that aspect - challenging myself. I don't want to break my streak, even if it means dragging my butt out at 8pm in the cold & dark!

When I started toward the end of September, my assigned goal was 630. Luckily, after a week, my watch learned enough about me to know I wasn't hitting my target most days. It reset down to 410 and I was able to meet that for a week. It keeps wanting me to increase more than I'm willing to! I am increasing it every week…
