    Started with the AW4 then a 6 and now a 10. It would certainly be nice to get a few days out of a charge so I would not have to take a charger on a weekend trip etc. I have got into a rhythm of putting it on the charger as soon as I was up each morning so it fast charges to 80% in very short period. The battery life has got better over the years. I use about 40-50 % in 24 hrs with one 60 minute outdoor walk and then every day use after that.

      That’s why I went with the Ultra, is because of the longer battery life. I can get about 4 days worth with continuous use in low power mode.

    Would love to get Apple intelligence in the coming years and blood sugar as well as blood pressure 😅

    We got our 5th grader a used cellular watch as a first phone. Meanwhile I’m still rocking my SE and feeling envious of his always on display. 😂

    I have a series 8 and I will probably hold off updating until they fix the blood oxygen issue, as I use that feature…

    It helps to be able to check a new message to see if I need to get out my phone to respond on it. It also helps to have navigation reminders on my wrist– especially when driving a rental car

    I’m at 83% battery health with my series 8 I bought at launch. What’s everybody else at?

  8. @videobiker9131

    WOW!! I didn’t even know I had an ovulation cycle. Thanks Apple!

    Definitely sleep tracking. It’s adjusted my whole evening routine and helped to turn something boring, getting good sleep, into a game that I can really maximize.

    Seriously, for me the watch paid for itself when I was driving with someone who could get upset very easily and it was snowing out. We had to go someplace that would normally take about 45 minutes, but with the snowstorm and the changes and direction, it took an hour and a half. I had my passenger’s favorite music playing on my phone and I was able to send messages using my watch. Again, thanks Apple!

    I love my Apple Watch. I bought it when Covid hit everyone and I can honestly say it changed my life.

    It’s a good video.

    I miss the live product launches that went away with the Pandemic. These pre-recorded launches are over-produced and kind of dull.

    BTW, I still use the handwashing timer. Being protected from norovirus and other nasty diseases is important.

    If Apple is able to make a noninvasive, continuous glucose monitor, it would change the world of weight loss

    After ten years of wearing an Apple Watch I finally splurged and got a Hermēs band and it’s so nice I have had lot of comments on how good it looks and it’s nice to have a rubber strap that can wear everyday I got the sun yellow Kilim band

    I want to see a hologram project from the Apple Watch and have a more powerful ChatGPT-like program built in.

    Just bought my first Apple Watch. A series 10. I use it for fitness and I absolutely love it. I regret not buying one before. Changing the bands and watch faces is so much fun too.

    I have the Apple Ultra for 1 year now and haven’t worn it for the past 4 months. It was such a waste of money. I should save the money and get a good mechanical watch.

    I bought a Series 6 for the oxygen sensor after a family member was hospitalized during the pandemic. At first, I noticed how useful it was for answering calls while doing dishes. Then I started using it for exercise. If my sister tells me I should exercise, I get angry, but, for some reason, if my watch reminds me, I feel guilty and exercise. I still use my Series 6, and I’m waiting for the O2 sensor to come back to get a new watch. I’m hoping glucose monitoring will be in the Series 11.

    3 things I started doing last few months:
    1. I stopped believing in those ‘get rich quick’ nonsense. You need to build real skills
    2. I read the The Hidden Codex of the Financial Alchemists, and I implemented all its lessons into my daily routine
    3. I started embracing all opportunities and challenges

    Aside from telling time/health tracking, I almost always use the Apple Watch for Siri reminders, and also for multiple countdown timers. Still rocking the 7 Series, but really looking forward to some big innovations in the future!

    It’s a boring device. I used it for two years and then gave it away. The standing demands of the watch are the stupidest thing ever.

    The person who wears it gets alerted to connect to ipad’s 5G frequently. At least Tim Apple stopped bothering me.
