Well, each case is different. Apart of the technological, nerdy wonder you have to see if it fits your needs and wants. It might, it might not.
I was unconvinced by the AW at first. Actually, I still don’t have one. However, given my wife’s job (special ed teacher) I decided to give it a try and I bought an LTE AW3 for her. At first she told me to return it as “useless”, and I told her to try it for just a full work week. Result? She can’t live without it now. Literally, she does all her activities with it. It also helped her greatly with workouts, keeping track of things, being in contact with the world while she can’t use her phone due to her job, and even with the find my iphone feature (she forgets her phone in the purse, or somewhere around the house). It keeps track of her sleep, her general health (although we DO know it’s not a substitute for a doctor), it helps with the reminders and so on. Even the GPS is somewhat useful. The AW transformed her life for the better.
Now, is an AW a tool that everyone should have? Nah. Is it a great tool to have availavble? Heck yeah.
I am not really interested in an AW myself as I am kinda of a digital minimalist (zero notifications, just a few apps, empty iPhone screen etc.), but I do have a heart condition. Nothing huge, except that I had open heart surgery at 17. Am I at risk of dying? Most likely not more than anyone else (I mean, 100% sure that we will die somehow... but my heart does not require superextra attention or medications). However, since the new AW is coming out and my wife really uses it and loves it, why not? I’ll buy the AW4 for her, I’ll get her old AW and I will also keep monitoring my heart, sleep, excercise (or, lack of thereof) and so on.
As with any technology, any tool, or any machinery, it’s all up to each single case.
I hate leaks. Takes away the fun of the surprise. And no doubt some folks lost their jobs today.
Anyway, watch looks great. Love that new watch face. I skipped last generation mostly because I don’t want to deal with another charger. But with the upcoming charging pad, maybe I will upgrade.
What a day.

Too complicated FOR YOU maybe. I'm rather loving it myself, I'm super tempted to switch, honestly.
A sensor would be covered up by your sleeve a lot of the time, plus be rendered useless by indoors ceilings...It's very likely weather info supplied by Apple's data provider.
Another way to deal with this is to also have UV sensors on airpods. Then the system fuses the signal it receives from any possible source (two airpods and the wrist) and hopefully most of the time you have good data.
No-one has mentioned new AirPods but I think they are also possible at this event.
The original AirPods used the W1, and Apple now has a W2 chip; and they are popular enough that it would make sense for Apple to already release an update improving them and implementing the various improvements people have suggested.
That looks just like the new watchface!Here you go
Seriously? Full of what? I'm just curious what one can do to fill up aWatch since most of the usual suspects (picture and movies) are not an issue, and, at least in the past, there was a cap to how much music you could put on the device.
I hope it really is possible to pack that much data into the watch face. I know a number of people have commented that it's ugly or too densely packed, but I'd actually really like having all that at a glance!
I actually agree with you. The new Galaxy Watch looks nice as well, so I am not surprised about the leak. I see new reports showing how fast the new Galaxy phone is and they compare the the iPhone X which came out 50 weeks ago. Nothing wrong with that either - just smart sales pitches in my opinion.
My favorite is the "what planet am I on" complication.
That’s for other people. I am pretty sure you talked to someone and wondered if they are from another planet. Now you can know.
Holy crap. That watch face is busier than most of my chronographs.
Understanding that it's just drawing attention to 1. new size of screen and 2. the amount of data packing that possible (not required), hopefully it portends 3rd party watch faces. If Apple can overstuff the screen then it shouldn't be that big of a deal for 3rd parties to do so.

Rather well? I had 6 flights climbed yesterday morning before 8am....I climbed ZERO steps. LOL
Pretty bored of these incremental updates to the look. iMac, MacBook Pros, iPhones, iPads, and especially Apple Watch have remained largely unchanged for years. With the exception of the new screen on the iPhone X, nothing about the devices makes me have that old "gotta have the new one" feeling any more.
I absolutely love the look of the new Apple Watch 4. For sure I will buy it on day one...Cant wait for September 12
