Whether you have an original series or the brand new series 5 Watch, what is your ONE pet peeve about it? For me, it's the lack of traditional or classy looking watch faces. Granted, I know the term classy is subjective, but you know what I mean.

I love the new California faces. The rest of them aren't so great, I'll admit.

I think no official sleep tracking; maybe no constant heart rate monitoring.

Same here. I really thought Apple would bring a "real" watch face to the Apple Watch by now.

When you mute an iMessage conversation on your phone, it doesn't mute on the watch. I've had to take my watch off for some group chats that got out of control.

So I know it’s an issue caused by my own unwillingness to change, but I’m stuck nonetheless. I DO NOT have “Messages” backed up in iCloud. Thus, when I delete a message on my phone or watch it doesn’t delete on the other. So yes, I find it obnoxious to need to delete on both devices. Nevertheless, I’d rather need to delete from both than accidentally loose by accident?

I was having a similar problem for a long time, but since watchOS 6, all of my group chats that are muted are also muted on the watch. For me it was always fine with iMessage group chats, but it was SMS group chats (green bubbles) that muted conversations would notify on my watch. Again, that's now fixed. This was particularly a pain with SMS groups, because you can't remove yourself from them, lie you can with an iMessage chat.

You may want to contact Apple Support to see if they can help you figure it out.

Another thing that I wish was different was that the replacement bands weren't so pricey. Yes, I have dozens of bands I've found on Amazon, but I would love to buy more directly from Apple.
