Meh. Stopped wearing my S9 in May. Not sure why I bought it. Think AW wore off here finally. It’s a nice toy but useless for me (even cycling / hiking etc). I take an F91W when I go hiking as it doesn’t need charging.

Useless is bit extreme criticism. I'm not an athlete or super intense, but somewhat more active than average (regular strength training, hiking 10-20 miles 3000-6000ft gain, bike ride 25-35 miles). It works just fine, its precise enough -- and I don't care about extreme precision. Sure there are better devices out, and battery will last much longer for bigger hikes, but its good all-around for most people which works for both active and regular life.

My Series 9 totally fails at sleep detection and regularly claims that I am in "Deep Sleep" while I am lying there trying to get back to sleep. Instead of fixing that, they are adding sleep apnea alerts. I wish there was an alternate ecosystem that was actually competitive with Apple.

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.

Thank you for sharing. Were you by chance diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder[1]?

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.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 is stuck on the S9. The S10 looks different if visually inspected but curious to know performance differences as they didn't mention much about S10 improvements this time.

Willing to sell it?

That sounds like a peculiar issue, so maybe it'll be bug-fixed in the new iOS. They don't announce small fixes.

By performance, is there any stat outside of battery life that really matters here? It is a watch after all
