+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've thought about this. How much more battery life would they have to build in for it to be noticeably better? When I charge my watch at the end of the day, I usually have plenty to spare, but not always enough to make it through to the morning (especially if I tracked an exercise). Even if a new watch got 24hrs of battery life, I would still have to charge it at night so I wouldn't really matter. I'd guess that 18h…
That’s a good point. Maybe 36-48 hours? Even then you’re still charging every other day, so is that so much better than every day? 18->120 hours would be a real change, but that’s almost a 7x increase.
For me I need a routine. Charging daily works well for me, else I would want 7 days. I think Apple targeting super quick charging really alleviates the issue for me all together. I’m on an old series 4, and instantly preordered this one. I’m sure it is gonna feel like a whole new level of luxury compared to what I was already pretty happy with.

#313Nobody wants a thinner watch, everyone wants more battery life.
True for phones. Not even close for watches.

#314As I have big wrists and my eyes aren't getting better, I like a larger screen a lot. But for me, the most important update might be, that the screen now updates every second instead of every minute in the "inactive" mode. I do use the seconds display of any watch a lot when timing short things, especially when cooking. Whenever I want to watch the seconds, with my current watch I have to keep shaking my wrist to kee…
One of the stupid activity/sport faces has a digital seconds display. I wish there were a better one. I think Modular + digital seconds complication is probably the closest, but it doesn’t give HH:mm:ss like it should.

> Charging your wearable device shouldn't require "habits". If they do then the device is defective by design. Why? > Competing watches from Garmin don't seem to have this design flaw. This oversimplifies the issue. The Apple Watch has a much broader range of functionality than Garmin's products, doesn't it?

> Starts with a big claim about 'much broader range of functionality' (which is completely false btw), and ends with a question mark.
Most people call this kind of sentence "a question."

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…
every single Apple feature or change creates this kind of weird negative-metric-reinforcement no matter the product whenever the number slides backwards or keeps parity Battery doesn't last long? Well, let's forget that the entire market has trended towards catering to a customer desire for long-life batteries -- it's a feature to help coordinate 'charging habits'!... whatever that is. Less keyboard space and battery…

I'm guessing it is `waste` from milling iPhones and Mac. Plenty of that and a marketing win even though this would always get recycled anyway.
They’re not made from titanium. Last years’s pro phone is. The Apple Card is too. So I did wonder if there was a little of that in there too.
My Apple Card just expired and they sent a package to send back the old one when giving me the new one. Would be pretty neat to know they are being remade into watches.
Re: Apple Watch Series 10
#318I 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.
The Watch’s operation is independent of the iPhone, especially if you get one with LTE. You need an iPhone for setup, but that’s it.
That's the problem. If I'm not going to use an iPhone, it's wasteful.
Why not letting me do that, at least, from a Mac or an iPad?

Yeah but it's still not enough. Also the ultra is more money than anyone I know is willing to pay for an apple watch.
If 36 hours (Ultra 2) isn't enough battery life, then you and your friends aren't the target audience for a smart watch with a display.
I guess we yearn for a world long past where there weren't so many daily charging cycles because things were just either plugged in or not.
Re: Apple Watch Series 10
#320Anyone else concerned about what apples use of titanium means for medical implants? Like does this not hamper production of things people need?
Global production of titanium is about 210,000 metric tonnes. [1]
An iPhone 15 Pro Max has about 18 grams of titanium in it. [2]
Rounding 18 up to 20 for the slightly larger 16 Pro Max, Apples sells 231 million iPhones per year. (210,000,000,000 grams)/(20 grams/iPhone * 231,000,000 iPhones) = 50.72
Apple is using at most 2% of the world's titanium. Obviously many of their phone sales are of smaller or titanium un-endowed models.
