Was an Apple Watch loyalist for 8 years. Just gave it up recently as I got tired of charging my watch every night + wanted something less distracting on my wrist. Went with the Whoop (yes it has a subscription but $0 for the actual device), so I don’t mind it + no screen + 15 days battery life.
If Apple comes out with a screenless device, then we’re cookin’ 🔥

I find that if I charge the watch for 30 mins after I decompress from work. I can put it back on and it will last till the same time the next day. But an “Apple Strap” is a cool idea!

I have to be the only person that wants the audio features. What I didn’t realize until after I ordered, was that they aren’t going to happen right now. I think this is going to be a miracle for hard-of-hearing or deaf people. There are so many times when I don’t hear a word or a comment (like when I asked my neighbor her son’s name, and didn’t hear it and repeated it back wrong, and she nicely said, oh well, we call him that sometimes. I still don’t know the kid’s name!). The thing is, we do have these programs already on our phones at least the recording one. My sister, who is nearly deaf uses them all the time. I use them in groups where I can’t hear totally what is said. I also have a paid program that summarizes things. I canceled the subscription not realizing we weren’t getting these upon delivery. Not saying it couldn’t be used in a bad way, so can everything else, but for the hard-of-hearing, it’s just another tool to survive in a hearing world, and as people get older, you will be glad it’s there. Also, if I am in a group meeting, I do comment that I have it on, even though my phone is usually sitting on the table so people would question it anyway.

The most useful apple watch ever feature was the ability to switch between apps by double clicking a wheel button and to close apps that you don’t use this way. They removed this completely with this rewind gimmick. That’s no update for me and my s11, unfortunately 😢
@MikeyBats
September 17, 2026 at 7:28 pm
Yea, I don’t like that they took away the double click option to close or switch thru the apps. I don’t like apps running in the background for many reasons, one major reason is battery draining. Many YouTubers say apps running don’t really drain your battery but it does. So yea, I hate that it’s gone too

I already ordered two watches to replace our series 8 watches since they aren’t supported by iOS 27 and the battery isn’t great anymore. It looks like I’ll be able to get rid of bevel app since Apple’s own software will be doing much of the same thing. Im definitely looking forward to better battery life and useful stats for health.

People are going nuts about the Apple watch microphone and questioning the security. You realised that every smartphone has a microphone, internet connection and don’t have any exclave at all, right? Almost all smart phones have an always on mic listening for Hey Siri or Hey Google as well as other features like Googles music widget etc. Also have you ever had a conversation with someone about a product and then 2 hours later you get ads for that product? Yeah, microphones. The Apple Watch with it’s sophisticated security should be the least of your concerns.

It’s not about how secure Apple’s servers are, it’s about the creepy person secretly recording a summary of your conversation w/o your knowing. What you say on a date, during an argument, a confidential business meeting, the people at the table next to you….

Great video and loving the new battery life and health metric readiness. As for the AI it will be interesting to see how it evolves but I think apple should let it run and not have too many guard rails on it so it can really tap into the whole ecosystem. Keep up the amazing work!

Apple does not need to raise the price or offer a subscription as the data they collect will make up for it.

Those gadgets are just screaming for attention even with arranging icons on a new home screen. How you are not tired of managing all of it? Charging them, wearing them, testing, crazy.
@egorkosten
September 18, 2026 at 6:08 am
What is the point of reviewing the feature without it being released? I also saw a commercial, but how it will actually work? This is the main question.
@egorkosten
September 18, 2026 at 6:08 am
Let’s admit that Readiness Score is just a software feature they don’t want you to have on Series 11, just because they want to sell you Series 12.
@egorkosten
September 18, 2026 at 6:14 am
Probably for people who are very into stats and paranoid about health it’s a good device.

I wonder if the audio intelligence delay will be like another iPhone 16 Apple intelligence scandal. Like, we won’t see it for a year, if ever.

@camerastooge
September 18, 2026 at 1:58 pm
The audio rewind is a great feature for deaf/hard of hearing folks (same as with the sound notifications), but yeah, privacy concerns absolutely abound.
The Siri transcription feature is Apple taking on all those AI-powered apps like Granola — I’m not sure how many people use those kinds of apps, the job I’m in doesn’t do a lot of meetings. So the technology is already here; Apple is just making it a standard feature.
@Eazydeazy1
September 18, 2026 at 3:07 pm
Apple raised the price on the bigger size 46 mm watch. $20 price increase!
@TroupeGoal
September 18, 2026 at 5:00 pm
Hm I appreciate the listing and description of new features, but a bit weaker on evaluating the actual benefits and whether this is a worthwhile upgrade. ‘Future proofing’, battery life and measuring my heart more often don’t seem like huge improvements, to me at least.
@vanessahandorellana
September 18, 2026 at 7:49 pm
Sadly there’s only so much I can test in five days. I think the real value of that readiness score will take time, as you start detecting trends and learning new things about your own body. Same with the audio features because they’re not out. So it’s worth revisiting both after some time. However a lot of people are making purchasing decisions this week so I reviewed what was available. I did mention using Siri AI on the new watch is much faster and worth it if you plan on using this feature. As I said in the conclusion: not worth upgrading from series 11, but Id definitely upgrade from a series 9 or older.
@darinherrick9224

I think what people are missing is that eventually it will just be agents talking to each other and sending us notes instead of having a meeting at all.
I’m already getting AI agents texting me asking to interview me for a job.
Soon middle managers will be AI agents and the agents will just have meetings among themselves.
I’m sure shortly all employee terminations will be handled by AI agents.
