Not to be too cynical, but is this Apple watch "solo loop" coming in a bunch of fixed sizes a means by which they reduce/minimize the ability to buy/sell used Apple Watches? Or at their scale does it not really make a difference? EDIT: nvm lol, forgot that you can just swap out the loops still
The silicone material they use tends to get beat up enough after a year or two that you'd probably want to replace it anyways if you buy a used watch.

I imagine it's possible to buy a used Apple Watch and replace the 'solo loop', or did I misunderstand the presentation?
They came up with a new Apple Watch (Series 6) that measures blood oxygen content! If that actually works as advertised, this feels like enough of a reason to upgrade. My wife has Series 3 and I have Series 5, but I haven't seen a major difference between the two. Series 5 is slightly sleeker and smaller, but the updates didn't feel important enough for her to upgrade.
They've got to fix the battery life. I tried the apple watch earlier this year and returned it a couple of days later. After using a whoop (where I get 5 days of battery) the less than one day charge makes the product pointless.
Here's the only thing I'm really waiting for today... the Watch SE pricing. $279... gets it into "high quality Fitbit territory".

Cool, a blood oxygen sensor. What a revolutionary new sensor that Garmin watches have had for only 3 years now.
Apple Watch Series 6...totally uninspired update. I was hoping we might get a glucose monitor/sensor, instead we get a blood oxygen sensor. Apple's just coasting at this point. I was considering getting the iPhone 12, but at this point I'm expecting a similar dud launch next month from Apple, so I'd rather give my money to Nvidia for an RTX 3080. Stop mailing it in Apple.
Coasting all the way to massive sales
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Something unrelated to product quality and entirely appearance in an Apple thread, color me surprised.
Neither one of those slams is as irrelevant as you suggest. Apple’s ethos product managed that HQ, and it’s very much not just about appearance. It’s the DNA, still highly relevant to an Apple launch thread.
