There are things I like about the Apple Watch, but in the past week, I’ve come to really, really, really despise it. There are things I like about it, like I can hook up my Dexcom G6 to it, but recently, I’ve become super annoyed with the fact that I can’t get notifications on my phone anymore–and in the past week, I’ve lost my ability to even get Dexcom G6 critical alerts through my phone. I like having a watch that can track my sleep and can tell me the time without me constantly having to grab my phone. And this week, I had to unpair my Apple Watch from my phone because of the aforementioned Dexcom G6 troubles. But I still miss it.
Mostly, I’m just annoyed that I can not get notifications on my phone because the Apple Watch seems to steal priority from the iPhone for EVERYTHING where notifications are concerned. Is there a solution, other than buying a different kind of watch? And before anyone says “turn off notifications on your watch”, I tried that, and my watch still gave me notifications instead of my iPhone.
The way last used device/service is used is kind of sporadic for me. I have a MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. It looks like goes by the last used device and then possibly the last responded notification depending on the device used. It’s probably something I should follow up with Apple on. But, i absolutely get sporadic notification behavior when I’ve had more than one device active in a given time period as well.
