Looks 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."

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.

I still use mine mainly for

- sleep tracking combined with Athlytic for Whoop-style metrics (might not be the most accurate, but good enough). also silent alarms

- runs tracking -- nice to be able to track my run and listen to a podcast all from the watch

- swim tracking -- i guess Garmin is just as good, but love being able to see the screen while swimming to check my progress

if the silly cellular plan wasn't such a JOKE ($15/month to share my already $60 plan???), I'd enable that and not need to carry my phone for emergencies on hikes/bike rides, etc.

I thank Apple for not releasing an Ultra 3. No FOMO this year :).

Honestly seems like the main reason to buy an Ultra 2 over a 10 is if you dive, or really, really need the extra battery life.

I don’t care about either of those, personally.

After breaking 3 Apple Watches, I just needed something more durable. I’ve been happy with it for a few years now with no real damages.

Sounds like this isn’t a compelling new release for many of you all but as a person with autism the training load feature is something I missed from Garmin. My interoception isn’t very keen and to have this help me train mindfully is nice, I’ve had a history of either under or over training because I can’t sense how my body is adapting.

Give garmin a go. One week+ battery and it's outdoor activities tracking is just great.
