Bridget, you were so funny in this one! Your warmth and the way you told the story made it feel like I was hanging out with a friend. You have a way of making viewers feel like part of the family. Loved this video! 😊

Bridget, that’s junk. All you need to know is that you’re beautiful and Dr. Apple should tell you that too.

😢 I’m 47 and I will probably be 65 according to Apple health 😂

With all the AI… I’m surprised you can just take a picture and it pull the data in from the printed lab results.

If you ever want to slow down time to a craw, do planks. 1 minute in the plank position is approximately equal to 3.5 years of regular time.

The problem is that you have to carry your phone with you every minute to get an accurate reading on most measures.

It is even tiring to watch all the work you have to finish the test.

First, you have your boss telling you what to do, now an Apple Watch. What’s next refrigerator?

The watch only gives advice. It cannot fire you.

We love you Bridget! Thank you for letting the mighty Apple judge you in front of us ✨
And for real, Apple is playing catch up and this is great.

Within 1 minute of my getting back into my place, I take off my watch and phone. Then shoes etc.
So why would I want a watch to go to sleep with? I’d mind as well have electrodes inserted through my eyes to go to sleep with?
What are they going to ask soon? Have your watch on when taking shower. After all, taking shower is a bit of work out. Don’t find that ever so? Well just step back and pay attention to your breathing after shower before towel down.
I won’t ever buy a ‘smart’ watch. My little Casio with both analogue hands and digital display plus tide and moon phase indicator is fine for me.
And I’d rather get a proper and expensive watch from not upgrading new smart watch every few years. This is one of the worst aspects of smart watches. They don’t keep. Literally.
I’d bet Apple senior executives all have highly expensive Swiss watches too. It says it all.

Because of the new increased sensors in the Series 12, these new features won’t be available on older Apple Watches. I have a Series 10 that I’m really happy with, but hate that I can’t access these new features without upgrading.🫤

Upgraded already to Series 12 watch. But hadn’t realised these challenges that are ahead of me, assuming it iOS 27.2 works the same way in the U.K.
