So AW SE1 finally nothing? Alas, I was living in the belief that it would still receive the update. :-/
The reason I bought the S10😀.
Well, I have to admit the S10s are tempting. I was just hoping for a little longer support. I have SE1 for 2 years :-/ I somehow suspected at the time that it was a "trap" :-D Ouch.
Can it be undone? My favorite watch face has disappeared…
The Ultra 2 should now be able to listen to music through the built-in speaker like the 10 series. Is this the case please who has an Ultra 2? Thanks.
Hi, no, it's not like that. It doesn't work on Ultra 2
Hi. I can't download it to se2 .. it says that I should have it charged at least 50 percent and I have it at 100 and it still doesn't work. Please advise
You must have the watch connected to the charger.
