Agreed. I can’t rely on auto update, since I don’t charge my watch overnight, and keep my iPhone Wi-Fi off. Knowing that there’s likely a dot one update coming soon makes the manual process feel even slower.
Every time there's an update, I check to see if Apple's finally included a watch-face that's better than the Snoopy watch-face, and every update I see the answer is no.
The Snoopy + Woodstock combo is unbeatable. Not even the Hermès ones can compare.

⌚They did pay Mossimo.
Then they realized their mistake. But it was too late. They had already cashed the check.
I didn’t think it wouldn’t, hence I updated. I was posting to alleviate any concerns and to counter the misinfomation.
Updated and now there's literally oxygen in my blood. 🙀
Thanks, Obama! 🥲

soooooo so glad I traded in my 7 for a 9 during the good deals and exceptional trade in for what was a refurb to begin with lol
now im watch 9, iPhone 14.....my birthday : )
Why would what series you have make any difference at all….
why do half the people here think apple was taking away your blood oxygen sensor? We’d sue them if they did that….
Apple could buy Masimo (Mkt cap $6.7B) 20 times over out of cash on hand ($162B). Pay them please. Or buy them please.
Maybe I'm not understanding what feature is causing the apple watch ban of the series 9 and Ultra. I was saying I had the Series 8 because they were not impacted by the Watch ban because it didn't have that feature. I did check and it does have the blood oxygen, but maybe I'm confused on what the feature is that is causing the dispute.
I think the smaller battery in apple watch makes it extra critical they get the efficiency of the software right as those processors are pretty powerful for a watch.
Because what he is saying isn't FUD. The issue is that Apple is using SOFTWARE to control the functionality, and the code for it does a check on the model number. If the model number matches, the O2 functionality is disabled. That means that with any subsequent update, Apple could enable or disable it altogether, and potentially for any model they include:
Apple had an update ready to switch off Apple Watch oximeter
After having sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 banned in the US due to a patent...

So no, it isn't FUD; if the Series 9 and U2s match that identifier, they could potentially have their O2 functionality disabled in upcoming WatchOS releases. Thankfully that hasn't happened yet, which is what the worry was for THIS RELEASE.
BL.

For one, there is no legal requirement for Apple to do so, ban only impacts sales after Jan 18.
Second, IF Apple were to disable the functionality on their own, they’d remove an advertised feature and there would lawsuit after lawsuit, and even more upset users.
So, dies Apple have the capability to do that? Sure. Will say? Not without a legal requirement
