I really wish they made it independent of the iPhone.

I think for people that only use smartphones occasionally, it'd be ideal to have just a watch and a desktop/laptop.

It'd also be a great move by Apple towards reducing distractions of its users. Watches can be much less intrusive than phones.

Finally they are focusing on making that thing thinner!! That watch is currently obnoxiously thick and can sometimes get caught on clothes and stuff.

But now it's also apparently larger! I'm sure I'm not the only person hoping for an Apple Watch that is reasonably thin and small.

I'd love that old 38mm watch, but thinner.

The problem is more little mini watch apps are adding more functionality / touchable area, to the point it's hard on my older 41mm (I think? Maybe 40?) watch to touch some of the touch areas.

I'm guessing most devs use the giant size watches.

I suspect OP is also including Android users in the group too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don’t care about either of those, personally. After breaking 3 Apple Watches, I just needed something more durable. I’ve been happy with it for a few years now with no real damages.

Cheaper to just buy apple care

Is it really good to treat things as disposable just because price incentives happen to make doing so cost efficient?

If the GP has a lifestyle that's hard on their watch, good on them for selecting the durable product that can survive it instead of churning needless extraction, labor, shipping, time, and e-waste.

Sounds like this isn’t a compelling new release for many of you all but as a person with autism the training load feature is something I missed from Garmin. My interoception isn’t very keen and to have this help me train mindfully is nice, I’ve had a history of either under or over training because I can’t sense how my body is adapting.
