I'm happier with it then previous iphone6 for sure, just seeing if easier solutions to below,

 

1. When on call, the hang up button is green, and pressing it won't hang up. It's as though the phone is not recognizing it's on a call, though can still hear person on other end. (it may happen when exit keypad and then bring it back up)

 

Believe solution is to swipe up from bottom, then reenter screen to get Red hang up button, but not ideal.

 

2. No alarm icon on phone when alarm set. maybe I need to put an up next icon on home screen?

 

3. Some notifications are not making watch vibrate, it maybe because I had send to notification center ticked, experimenting with it unticked, seems to be working alright with Gmail on watch fine at moment so hope that was it.

 

A mistake I also made was to skip upgrade watch ios which  then prevented new phone from pairing with watch, upgrade watch ios, 2 hour process, and then the watch paired ok.

 

Love bigger screen, magnetic charging, only loses 20 to 30% power a day, and can get it over 80% with around one hour charge, so I just give it a 1 hour  and a bit charge in mornings.

 

Hopefully Apple fix number 1.

Number 1 sounds like a software issue, I have an XR but as soon as I press the green button and the phone dials it switches to red (pressing red obviously end the call)

 

I'm on iOS 14.4

Yep. I had to leave watch and phone at home. I was trying to skip upgrade process as was planning doing it at night.
Think the data transfer from phone to watch happens through Bluetooth, which maybe where the bottle neck was.

I tried to replicate, without completing calls, number 1 issue, the call button has gone red and stayed red. I’ll be more mindful each time I make a call so can remember exact steps if happens again.
Though it’s happened twice so far.

Yup. There is no longer an alarm icon or display on Lock Screen when you have an alarm set. (Unless you use the "bedtime" feature in conjunction with Watch, doesn't work for me as my bedtimes vary greatly).
Also there is no longer an "Up Next" widget or any way to reproduce this functionality.

It's very frustrating. My morning alarms change time every day, due to variable shifts, the only way to verify my alarm is set correctly is to open the Clock app and check the alarm setting.

It's very annoying!

Cheers,
Joseph

Ditto, I've moved from Samsung Galaxy to iPhone and it is extremely frustrating to have to go into the clock app every time to check alarm time.

 

Plus, Samsung would notify time remaining until alarm when you set it (ie, x hours, x minutes to alarm) which I miss.

Is that 14.5?

 

I'm on 14.4 and phone says it's up to date?

 

I'm new to iPhone, so maybe roll out is staggered?

It will be the watchOS update. If the watch can't connect to wifi, it will come via the phone using bluetooth, which can be very slow for large updates.

I appreciate this isn't a complete solution but you could ask Siri what time your alarm is set for?

It was the second watch out. It was on the latest watch iOS the iPhone 6 supported, so it probably had about two major watch iOS levels in between. Don’t know if it can go direct from watch iOS 3 to 6 for example. Phone is 14.4 and watch is now watch iOS 6.3

Yep, that will be a very sizeable update over bluetooth, so will take ages.

While your talking to Siri about alarms you can also ask her how long until my alarm and she will tell you in Hours/Mins/Secs
