Y’know I was still perfectly happy sporting my Series 0 SS Watch, it did basically everything I expected from such a device. Yeah it could be ever so slightly slow doing some things, but it never bothered me.
I’d actually still be wearing it today if my insurance company hadn’t given me a Series 3 for free last month.
I have to admit I do like the speed increase, the screen is nicer, it has a few extra features, love that it’s waterproof, the microphones seem vastly improved (though S0 only had one) and Siri speaking to me is always better than me looking at the screen.
Oh and battery life has been phenomenal (11 hours 20mins standby so far today and 1 hour 12 mins of use and I’m at 92%. Still 8 hours or so before I go to bed so we’ll see) so far and it’s not because my S0 was getting old, it was replaced under AppleCare only a few months ago so still basically new.
All of which rambling gets me to this; If I hadn’t tried one I wouldn’t have seen the point in upgrading yet (cellular in the UK is only on a network I refuse to use) and the gps model just did most of what my old one did.
But I’m a total convert, the speed increase alone makes it much more useable. Where before I’d just give up sometimes and whip out the big boy, now I can actually achieve things on the Watch. Oh, and I’ll never tire of seeing it spit water out
I guess if anyone asked me I’d actually recommend the upgrade now. Y’know, if people don’t mind spending money on non-essentials.
Edit***
Let’s skip the jokes about whipping out the big boy

I gave up with Apple Watch not because it wasn't useful, I loved it, but it made my wrist so sore I couldn't wear it more than 1/2 a day out of a day, less by day 3. I tried it for 2 weeks and I was red sore and puffy. The desire to keep it on to track everything I do probably didn't make it better. The times I clicked-apple-pay were amazing but I was in quite a lot of pain and had to send it back.
This was a NIKE+, I run a lot, I sweat a lot, I live in the tropics. A watch covers a lot of skin and it sweats even in the aircon. I bought the 42 because I preferred the larger text, it's a fairly large watch on my wrist.
Is there something I missed here? I loved Apple Watch for the insight I got, the full health monitoring and very accurate energy counts, it was just way too hard to wear. If there's a way to mitigate that, I'll by another.
I had problems initially, turned out to be the simplest of things. The straps just weren’t right for my arm no matter what position they were in.
I switched to using (mostly) a leather loop and a Milanese and the difference is completely night and day. Because they’re infinitely adjustable you can get exactly the right fit for comfort.
Well it worked for me anyway, you may have already tried that.
