Hi, @rgilbert! I got an iPhone 14 Pro Max today and independent of your post, in transferring everything from my iPhone XS Max, I noticed the (ReSound) Smart 3D app showing on the Utility watch face when I checked out the Watch app on the new iPhone. I looked at the available complications for the Utility watch face as well as the Meridian and the one I use, the Infograph. For some reason, the ReSound app is only available as a complication for the Utility watch face and not the other two. And just as you say, picking Program or Microphone in the watch Settings, Accessibility, Hearing devices has no effect on whether the ReSound app is available as a complication for the Utility face. Maybe there is a memory limit for complications, the Utility face is simpler, and it can handle a more “complicated” complication like the 3D app or the Oticon app?
When I was using my Apple Watch 6 with iOS 16 on the XS Max, I had no problems with watch battery drain. But my update as far as watch pairing goes wasn’t smooth. The new iPhone repeatedly reported it couldn’t pair with the watch and since it finally did, the watch battery has been draining like crazy. I’m a newbie at this and maybe it has something to do with not wiping the XS Max after the transfer to the iPhone 14 was complete but instead absentmindedly leaving it on in another room. I just assumed that the watch transfer would make the watch forget all about the old iPhone.
I had similar problems pairing my Quattros with the new iPhone. I told the old phone to forget the HA’s but I didn’t tell the HA’s to forget the old phone. I launched Smart Fit and saw the Quattros still remembered an “iPhone” and “iPhone(2)” as devices, which I presumed were my wife’s donated iPhone 6S and the XS Max that both I inherited and used for the last two years. After I wiped those off the HA’s with Smart Fit and got smart and turned off the XS Max a room away, I finally got the Quattros paired with the iPhone 14 (but maybe it was just sheer luck on another roll of the dice?).
I didn’t want to wipe the XS Max as it will be a backup for either my or my wife’s current iPhone. But next time, I’ll turn any old phone off as soon as a transfer to a new phone is complete! If anyone has any suggestions about what to do about the watch battery drain, I’m all ears!
P.S. In checking what the deal is with the HA complications not working on all watch faces, I found this post by @narenkona from two years ago in the thread where I posted on creating HA app Shortcuts that can be used as an indirect HA app complication. Narenkona said that it’s the older watch faces that direct HA app complications work on, not Apple’s newer watch faces, and that he’d written to ReSound asking them to make a direct app complication that’s compatible with the newer Apple watch faces. So maybe the same consideration goes for Oticon?
Edit_Update: I might have an answer to the watch battery drain problem. It probably has nothing to do with transferring my phone apps and pairing my Apple Watch with a new iPhone and everything to do with Complications on the watch. Many people like me turn off background app refresh on Apple Watch apps to spare the already short battery runtime as much as possible. But in the Watch app settings for that, Apple advises you that the background refresh OFF toggle doesn’t apply to complications. A long time ago, I absentmindedly inserted Reminders (the Apple equivalent of ToDo’s or Tasks) as a complication but never used that app - so there was nothing to refresh. Before the iPhone upgrade with the watch transfer, I had the brilliant idea to connect Apple Reminders to my Outlook Tasks on my MS 365 Exchange Server account. So, now I bet the Reminders app on the watch is constantly refreshed from Reminders on my iPhone as my client Outlook updates many times a day. I’ve removed Reminders as a complication from my Apple Watch, and the watch battery is no longer draining as fast as it had been when I first took notice of the problem.
And the ReSound Smart 3D complication on the Utility watch face is probably a leftover from experimenting relative to @narenkona’s post two years ago that I forgot entirely about.
