Any regrets after getting an Apple Watch for the first time?

Just out of curiosity - how do you run a marathon and a half per day.. every day of the week

Gotta be a typo. I used to run ultras. 300 miles/week? No.

I dunno, seems legit, I use gaiagps for tracking hikes, and it sends me attaboys once a week, like this:

Not sure how I did 34 days workout in one week though

lol - that's a good week! My real best was Rainier's Wonderland Trail in 2 days - 92 miles & 22,000 vertical gain (and loss - a circular trip). Did it twice. I was younger then ...

That's walking 280 miles per day for a week. If you slept for 6 hours per day you'd be walking (well running) at 15 miles per hour.

To put it another way, when Eliud Kipchoge broke the 2 hour mark for a marathon you would have finished nearly 15 minutes ahead of him and still keep that pace up for another 110 hours!!!

I’ve been using the AW since gen 0… no regrets per se, but recently decided to quit and go back to mechanical.

need to “disconnect” a bit

Sure, there are a lot of things positive about the Apple watch but the biggest drawback is the need to charge the thing on just about a daily basis. ... As far as the Apple watch I likely won’t buy another unless there is offered some irresistible feature that is absolutely essential. I might give an Apple watch another shot especially if the battery charge lasts a really long time, like a year or more.

I have the same issue with charging. I always forget the Apple Watch on the nightstand when I charge overnight. I have to get up ungodly early so mornings are always hectic for me. I leave my iPhone in my purse so I don't forget it and just charge via the Qi charging dock at my desk at work.

With that said, I've been recently diagnosed with diabetes and need to keep better track of my health. Hence, I just bought a 2nd AW so I could swap while the other one's charging.

Different technology. They won’t have a watch where the charge lasts a year in our lifetime. You’re comparing apples to oranges.

Sure, but I'd be happy enough if it can last 5-7 days.
