I dont think the average consumer wants this. They want a big screen, and flashy features, and a camera that makes ugly people beautiful.

Finally I am not the average consumer! I think the parent comment's point is good -- if Apple are watching (pun not intended): you could make a truly tiny phone out of watchOS, please do it.

isn't apple getting so far out of the tiny phone game they've cancelled all the minis and even cancelled the next iphone SE?

this kinda serves of a proof of concept for just how minimal we can get with a smartphone while retaining most of the "smart". I might even try this for a bit...

Hard to say without phones available that cater towards other needs. I'm waiting for one that brags about not having access to most functionality outside of phone, gps, sms, and camera.

This claims multi-day battery life, since wrist detection can be turned off. I’m curious to know how much of a difference this one change makes. I haven’t bought an AW because the battery life isn’t good enough for a “watch” in my book, but if it can get multiple days of life, and it’s more like a phone replacement, then I’d be more likely to give it a try.

My charged watch (series 6)on the table without any use runs out of battery in 24 hours… My main reason why I don’t use my watch anymore is that it needs to be charged all the time.

Get your battery replaced?

It is still at 90% capacity. It never lasted much longer.
