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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Honestly seems like the main reason to buy an Ultra 2 over a 10 is if you dive, or really, really need the extra battery life.

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

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]? https://www.autismspeaks.org/sensory-processing-disorder

Dang, I felt safe getting the series 9 last year and that there wouldn't be any major features this year. The sleep apnea detection would be something that could be handy as I suspect I'm borderline. It would be nice to non-intrusively test over several months to see how I trend vs. the one night sleep tests doctors typically use.

Sleep apnea detection is coming to the series 9 too.

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.

Give garmin a go. One week+ battery and it's outdoor activities tracking is just great.

I have a lower entry Garmin and it's amazing for running, biking and every day tracking, it's a Forerunner 245, but it's no smart watch.

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.

My sleep tracking works pretty well on my S9. It isn't perfect and there are glitches and bugs I've noticed, but overall the long term trend tends to even out and feels pretty comparative to my old Fitbit.

Thick wrist watches are in style every few decades, nothing says "wealth" in just about any century quite like "big chonky arm jewelry". I personally wouldn't have minded more battery rather than thinner. 18 hours still seems far too short compared to competitors, especially with a growing emphasis on sleep tracking. (Though I appreciate that claims here that charging time went down even further with this thinner model.)

Been hesitant to get due to battery life. My fitbit lasts for days on one charge. Is there ways to configure the watch settings to extend the battery life for more than a day?
