Apple Watch

Thinking about buying your first Apple Watch? Already an owner but not getting full use from your Watch? Join Paul Skirrow as he examines this incredible piece of technology, takes a detailed look at what it can be used for (you’ll be amazed!) and discusses the differences between newer and older models, and what to look out for when you decide to buy.

Paul will be covering:

  • Apple Fitness tracking, pulse and ECG, blood oxygen, health monitoring and alerts;
  • the convenience of Apple Pay on your wrist;
  • Messages, Mail and Phone for keeping in touch;
  • Notifications, Alarms and Taptic feedbacks;
  • Weather forecasts;
  • Navigating with Apple Maps;
  • Using Find My to find your phone and other devices;
  • Controlling your home;
  • Siri on your watch;
  • Fall and crash detection with automatic call to emergency services;
  • Using with and without your phone (e.g. if your phone battery goes flat or you go out without it);
  • Cellular capabilities for Internet and phone calls while out and about;
  • New Apple Watch series 10 (expected in September);
  • Buying advice and choosing the best model for you whether buying new or second-hand.

Zoom Meetings

Most Suffolk Mac User Group meetings take place on Zoom - delivering regular content direct to members’ Macs, iMacs, iPads and iPhones and in person. On occasion, we meet face to face. Good to see each other!

Suffolk Mac User Group welcomes all Mac users. Experienced members are on-hand daily to assist with Mac-related issues. Our friendly meetings and classes are held throughout the year; and our busy, 'members-only' message board is always open.

For 16+ years we have been helping our members (who range from the very geekiest to the very .... not!) learn how to get the best out of their Macs. Occasionally, we run special classes that range from OSX for Beginners to Swift Programming, offering first-class guidance from professionals.

We would be happy to welcome you to Suffolk Mac User Group and show you, first-hand, the benefits of joining this vibrant community.
