Someone just design an iPhone holder for your wrist already and be done with it. No need for two devices.

Alleged First Look at Apple Watch X / Series 10 With 2-Inch Display

This isn't quite correct in the case of the iPhone. X was for the tenth anniversary, not for the 10th iteration. It was technically the 11th and there was no iPhone 9/9s.
But I do agree it would be weird to have a 10 this year and an X the next, just not entirely unprecedented as next year is the de facto 10th anniversary of release. Yes, this year is the 10th anniversary of the announcement, which means Apple could go either way from a marketing perspective.
I sorta doubt they will have a bigger redesign next year if they're doing a significant screen bump this year with the same design language though, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

No, everyone loses when the “latest and greatest” is a phone whose only innovation is to replace round edges with flat edges. Or a watch with a very slightly larger display.
I know it was for the anniversary, they skipped the iPhone ”nine” and went straight with the “ten”. However, what I wanted to point with my comment, is that the X was for “ten” and not for just a letter (“ex”). If Apple releases a series 10 (“ten”), it would make sense to release an Apple Watch X (“ten” as well), it should be followed by a Series 11.
Agree, next year is actually the tenth anniversary of the launch. We’ll see what they do, but I think the most important thing isn’t the name, but rather a better design, and powerful features such as sleep apnea detection and blood pressure monitoring.
I will say that mine was at 78% and doing the $99 battery service was absolutely worth it. On rest days, I get sometimes get about 30-ish hours. And if I used low-power mode then I think I could get 2 full days.
Imagine walking into room full of people playing Warhammer and saying "oh you guys are playing Lord of the Rings?"
That is the reaction that "real watch" people have whenever someone says they have an apple watch.
because they’re spending a ton of money every year without getting new technology and only getting aesthetic changes. They’re getting ripped off.

You’re assuming that everyone already has the previous generation and is upgrading to get the newest model.
Sure; those people do lose, that’s a valid argument. But that’s not everyone. That’s only a small subset who don’t have self control or reasoning.
The sensible thing to do is make purchases based on informed decisions. Those people don’t lose.
I would prefer something along the lines of an iPhone 16 pro mini and a bigger watch. Right now I feel like my 15 pro in blue is a spiritual successor to my beloved blue 12 mini, and the ultra 2 is an ok size, but could be a little bigger.
Don’t care about the rest of the specs (I’m assuming in Canada the SP02 will remain unless/until Health Canada states otherwise); if it does have blood pressure monitoring I’m in and then I can start the statistical comparisons with the 20-30 bp measurements I typically get in a haemodialysis session.
Agh, I’m not fooling myself; I’d already be sold on a/the bigger screen. Of course I expect the watch/Apple Health to be able to be told my hypertension is well managed, under control and that certain bp’s are not justification to send me notifications about pre-hypertension. I’ll be using thos feature for comparison and spot analysis.

When I can start doing stats between my watch and this; being able to create regression curves, etc thatwill make me happy.

If people have the income to upgrade every year, they are getting ripped off? Aren’t they making the decision? Who is forced to spend a “ton of money” to buy a new Apple product every year?
They’re fooled into buying what they think comes with new tech, which in reality doesn’t. Yes, they’re making the decision, but they are being misinformed.
If the blood pressure monitor is in anyway good this thing will be an insta buy for millions of people. Existing watches with light based bp measurement are garbage and the ones with a built in cuff are not practical and garbage.
I am still holding on to my apple watch 4 ... every year I wait for a big design change to upgrade mine and every year I get disappointed .. let’s hope Apple Watch 10 is different !!!
I know many are against it, but I still would love a round option. The samsung and pixel watches look so nice with a round face instead of the square. If nothing else, keep a square option and also make a round option.
