Apple Watch Launched 10 Years Ago Today

I was against it before I was for it. I finally caved and me and the missus got a series 10.

I was against it before I was for it. I finally caved and me and the missus got a series 10.

I was resistant also but after I caved I can't image not having one.

My favorite is probably the convenience of Apple Pay from your wrist.

Are you still on the original battery or did you have it replaced at some point? Curious what the health would be.

I've had one since it launched, currently have a S5 and will update at some point. It was a big deal when it came out, people were excited to see one and now they're everywhere and common.

Same here! People will occasionally notice it’s a SS/polish Ti model or a non-sport band but otherwise nobody even notices vs. when it was new. Same as the iPhone/iPod; to an extent I the culture has shifted away from the ‘line up and have it say 1’ culture.

Nice product. I like my AW10, its thin, light and battery is not too bad.

Original battery. Wearing it from 7 to 7 everyday, it'll have about 30% charge remaining.

Thanks for the answer. Mine is about 3 years old now (got it new but late) and battery health is 76%. Makes me feel better about it lasting the day still.

Can the AW1 still perform the functions it was able to do at launch?

Then it isn’t broken no matter how slow apps might launch. Your comparison is the horrible one here, saying functions are missing.

Still have my original AW. Apps often crash before they can complete a task or even finish loading. Including first party ones.

Secondly, since you’re being pedantic, I’ll match it: I never said the watch was “broken”, I said it was “not just fine”. And if my watch cannot reliably do some of the functions it was originally intended to do, it is not “fine” in my eyes.

My first Apple Watch was the Series 3. I held out until I thought the features justified the purchase. I have been a happy watch customer ever since.
