Anyone still use first Apple Watch

[dcpmark]

I got my S3 LTE one day after launch, but I still use my S0 as a dedicated fitness watch. The battery life was getting atrocious using it as an all-day watch PLUS a workout, but now I have the best of both worlds: a silver S3 LTE with a milanese band that lasts all day (76% @ 12 hours!) and a space black S0 with a sport band for my workouts. By the way , a 1-hour 15-minute workout uses 54% of the S0 battery....crazy!

S0, sure it might be slower...but it works for me. But not sure how future updates may hold on this, WatchOS5 for example...that may really drag the original watch down to a crawl. Not concerned about that right now.

Prediction: Given the reaction of watchOS 4 with the first generation Apple Watch and how the reports On these forums, I don't see the first generation Apple Watch being supported by watchOS 5. It still works exactly as it is intended, but it's not as fluid as the updated dual core processor is.

My series 0 is dead! My new series 3 should hopefully ship today....hopefully. (Still vibrates)

How long did you leave it submerged to kill it?

It was cracked, but was working well. I was bathing my boys and just the water from rinising their hair messed it up. I didn’t even submerge it. The green part of the screen still looked perfect for a couple of weeks till it gave up. My wife also thought it was a coincidence that it broke just as soon as they released another one.

I always take my S0 off when I put the kids in the bath. Maybe I should keep it on!

Given my S0 to the wife since I’ve upgraded to the S3. Can report that she loved it and even with her tapping it more then a woodpecker on Cocaine she’s still ending a full day with 20% left in the battery

Still have it - series 0 black stainless - held up perfectly. In pristine condition and I wear it all the time. Functions great even on watchOS4. That said..I am getting a black stainless series 3 today. So I am hoping to get some use out of that as well. Resale is garbage, but I didn't get it to make money on it - I got it because I love it...

Wonder what the resale value is on the real gold model?
