I just use whoop these days for better accuracy and battery life. Not interested in the complex screens and notifications.
The annual subscription though... $319. That is an absurd amount of money imo

It sort of can. For example you can load spotify playlists to it, podcasts over podcast app etc. The interface to achieve this is quite cumbersome, though.

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.
Can’t have as much ads, distractions and other “engagement” features on a small screen.
Even the biggest Apple Watch screen is still tiny by any reasonable metric.
They aren't filling the extra space with "distractions", they are giving you space for an extra widget or two and making it marginally less painful to type.

#75Anyone else wondering where the recycled titanium comes from?
> Apple Watch Series 10, made with 100 percent recycled aluminum or 95 percent recycled titanium…

#76Looks like nothing has been announced that is groundbreaking here. It seems it was rumoured that the Apple Watch Series 10 would have blood pressure monitoring but instead removed the blood oxygen detection from US models in the fine print: "The ability to measure blood oxygen is no longer available on Apple Watch units sold by Apple in the United States beginning January 18, 2024."
I think it's interesting that the new sleep apnea detection uses the accelerometer for detection, instead of blood oxygen levels.

#77Meh. 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.
Apple pay over the watch is killer app IMO. You can pay everything with it. In civilized cities like london you can use it to pay the public transit. While it may sound gimmicky, this is actually an improvement (if only slight) to daily chores.

#78Calling an 18-hour battery life 'all day' still feels like at best borderline fraud to me.

A friend has his kids use LTE Apple Watches. He set them up with his iPhone and they don't have them. It supports "Kid" mode on the watches and everything. They can call and text him when ever they want, which is really nice.
Walkie-talkie mode is really nice.
Dick Tracy mode is great for screening calls.

#80it’s annoying that they can’t put the sapphire glass on the regular 10. What is the cost of this glass and why do they refuse? > Ion‑X front glass (aluminum cases) Sapphire front crystal (titanium cases)
Non sapphire is lighter and perhaps less prone to breaking from impact (even if not as scratch resistant), that works better for sport use cases.
Many users don’t need sapphire glass for non-sport activities either.
