I have just done the last update on my watch and while I was at first very excited about the new feature measuring how much time one has spent in daylight, I quickly realize that as winter approaches, I will be wearing jackets with the sleeves covering my wrists and thus my watch.
What do you people plan to do about this? Just not care and cover the watch or will you keep it exposed to the sun (and the cold)?
I’ve been wearing long sleeves for a while now (I live in Sweden, it’s been minus-temperatures for a while), and I think it’s working quite well. The average amount of reported minutes in the sun has gone down quite quickly last month, but that can be explained by the fact that the amount of sun hours has gone down drastically as well. Especially during the hours I’m usually outside (to and from work).
Either way, I exclusively wear long sleeves at the moment. And I haven’t noticed any inaccuracies. Haven’t really spend too much time trying to work out if it’s accurate though.
Ok thanks for your reply! I might do some tests with long sleeves to see what it tells me.
It’s fine for me, I have a hairband on the middle of the cuff of my sleeve and then it’s the cuff is folded back (so it looks like it’s halved)
I didn‘t hear about this feature, can anyone tell me where I can find this?
In the health app, under the mental wellbeing section. Only if you are on the lastest OS though.
thank you
S6’s iPhone app: Settings > Privacy > Time in Daylight.
Ambient light sensor in your Apple Watch estimates how much time you spend outdoors in daylight. Apple Watch SE (2nd gen) and Series 6 or later. https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/see-time-in-daylight-apd3ab22534c/watchos
Thank you! I guess I should’ve directed this to the folk who say they wear the their Apple Watch on top of their jacket cuffs
