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.
I 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.

Thats got to be a super tiny population of the world

I suspect OP is also including Android users in the group too.
Right now, most expensive fitness trackers rely on smartphones.
I think only Garmin and Polar can be set up without a smartphone, but Polar still relies on smartphones for GPS updates.
I just use whoop these days for better accuracy and battery life. Not interested in the complex screens and notifications.
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.
From one of their updated watch strap pages:
> Strap Compatibility
> You can match most straps with any Apple Watch Series 3 or later case of the same size.
> 40mm, 41mm and 42mm straps are all compatible with 40mm, 41mm and 42mm case sizes. 44mm, 45mm, 46mm and 49mm straps are all compatible with 44mm, 45mm, 46mm and 49mm case sizes.
> The Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop straps are only compatible with Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 4 or later and Apple Watch Ultra or later.
> For Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop, the 40mm, 41mm and 42mm cases are compatible with strap sizes 0–9; the 44mm, 45mm, 46mm and 49mm cases are compatible with strap sizes 0–12.
I'm having such a hard time trying to parse this, especially since Series 3 was available in 38mm and 42mm variants, and it was Series 4 that upped the numbers to 40mm and 44mm.
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.

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.
