Is anyone aware of how the new watch will react with heavily tattooed forearms?
Currently have a series 3 but my tattoos make it impossible to use due to disconnecting every few minutes.
If you go to amazon and search "Beadaholique 100-Piece Epoxy Stickers for Bottle Cap Pendants, 1-Inch, Clear
" you can get 100 bottle cap stickers. Link to the ones I purchased https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AFRWIRQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Slap 1 over the sensor and the watch works in wrist detection mode. I have a black tattoo on my wrist and these little caps work perfectly. 100 caps cost 8 to 9 bucks. Plus caps protests the sensor incase dirt gets between your skin and the sensor on the bottom of the watch. I have apple se watch I bought in March of 2021 running latest software.
Apple has been aware of this problem for years. I doubt they do anything about it, just not enough people complaining about it
Just ordered mine from amazon. Thx! Big help!
You’re the lucky one ;-}
It’s actually 1 feature, the always on.
You said it worked for you?
Thank you for a 5 year old article
My bad, it was at the same place I found the image, sry.
It’s funny too because the person at the Apple store I was working with also had a tattoo in the same spot and his worked fine! I am wondering if it’s because my ink is newer? 🤷🏻♀️
I highly doubt it’s different depending on how long ago you got tattooed. I don’t think we established a clear reason since it happens in different situations, new, old, color vs. b/w.
Did you get the epoxy stickers? Any luck?
I’ve been using those for five years and it works perfectly.
correct. mine is a series 1. you are saying these stickers don’t work on series 6? then what do those of us with wrist tattoos do?
I am saying these no longer work on the series 6. Hopefully there will be an option for people like us in the future.
Turning off wrist detect will not let you track your workouts.
but don’t i need wrist detection?
