So they finally figured out the sleep apnea patent issue? You used to have to download a separate app for sleeping breathing detection. Wasn’t built in like Fitbit
I wonder if it’s being backported to old models

I wear my Apple Watch all the time, even when I'm sleeping. I pretty much just charge it when I'm in the shower or getting ready in the morning. It charges super fast, and I've found that having a regular charging routine is actually better for these gadgets. Funny enough, watches with longer battery life can mess up your charging habits. I had this problem with my old Pebble watch. Yeah, the battery lasted longer, b…
When you notice your Garmin is under 10% it still means full day or enough battery to track 2-3h activity and still have some battery left. I'm surprised Apple watch battery is still - more or less the worst in the industry. Even if we forget about Garmin, comparable Samsung watches are multiday devices.
Garmin is great, but it is a fitness sports watch first and less of a smart watch. Once Garmin can have apps like overcast and omnifocus on them I will think of them as being in the some category as the apple watch.

+1 to this. I charge whenever I'm in the shower as well, and this routine works for me.
To each their own, I wear my watch in the shower so I can change the song on my bluetooth speaker.
I feel like if you are making it through more than a couple songs, your shower is too long.

#254That shiny black watch is going to be littered in scratches after 2 weeks. My Ultra 2 has a big scratch on it. It's not the materials are bad or anything, people just bump into metal often. For me, it's metal tables at the coffeeshop.

This. I have cellular activated on my watch, and I seldom, if ever, carry an iPhone outside my home. It does everything I need from tech, when I am on the go, and that includes recording hours long bike rides.
Can you unlock your Tesla? Also can you do navigation?
> Can you unlock your Tesla?
Yes but you have to use a third-party app for that, the official Tesla app does not have a Watch version.
> Also can you do navigation?
Yes.

> Funny enough, watches with longer battery life can mess up your charging habits. My experience with Kindles!
Yep! Funny how often I am traveling and get to the hotel and open up my kindle to find it needs a charge.

#257Dang, 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.
I doubt that the sleep apnea detection will be useful in borderline cases aside from saying "you might have sleep apnea", which you already know.
A lot of people who live alone might not know. I think I have it but a Phillips home test was inconclusive for me. I don't really love the idea of the doctors office sleep study since I'm not really experiencing any daytime affects but having my watch keep an eye on it is a nice peace of mind.

#258Can we get one of these you don't wear on your wrist? I'm all for the exercise and health tracking, but I hate wearing a watch when I'm typing or at a computer a good chunk of the day, where it would be resting on something.
This may be as good as it gets https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/17/24200520/tinypod-apple-wa...
But I’m uncertain how polished the experience would be.

I have a garmin watch. Charge it every day while I'm taking a shower and it's always ready. ...but I can miss a day... or 12 days. 13d = full charge
I don't think a Garmin watch and an Apple Watch are truly comparable. The Garmin is primarily a fitness watch, while the Apple Watch is a smartwatch. When a Garmin can run apps like OmniFocus, Overcast, a Mastodon client, an Instagram client, and even join a Zoom call, then I'll consider it a smartwatch.

#260Calling an 18-hour battery life 'all day' still feels like at best borderline fraud to me.
Don't get me started on "Life Sentences"!
