Glad I jumped in on the 7 as my pick from my series 0 upgrade. This would have been a waste to wait another year for.
 
I guess if you are coming from the 4 or later this is a nice update. Outside of that, the 8 is pretty weak imo.
If they end up actually announcing a Pro model, you know why.

Artificially hold back the mainstream model to push the 100-200$ more expensive Pro version.
 
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but all these incremental watch updates are so anti-climactic— starting to feel like bloatware.

Reminds me of salads and all the 100+ random 90s and 2000s menu additions at McDonalds.

At some point, subtraction is going to be Apple’s best friend.
 
Hmm, can I SUE Apple if their ECG reading of me is WRONG and something bad happens to me?

No, I didn't think so.
It clearly says on the page when you take one that you should call emergency services if you're not feeling well and it doesn't detect heart attacks
 
I think unless the rumoured Pro model is something special (or even exists!) I might be hanging onto my Series 4 for another year.
 
For most people, the SE is the only watch to buy. The SE upgrade is more exciting than the Series 8 IMO.
 
To be utterly honest yet again, I'd literally RATHER DIE than buy an Apple Watch. Am I alone here on this? 🤔
No, you are not. I feel it's the ultimate Classical Apple Self-Absorbed Navel-Gazing device. I think it's the most post-Steve Jobs Apple product of all. I have never been tempted to have an Apple Watch. If I weren't so emeshed in the Apple ecosystem, I would seriously consider getting the hell out. And this pathetic presentation just reinforces that.
