Apple Watch Pro Likely to Have New Programmable Button for watchOS 9

[klasma]

I use it for my dog walks and some runs when I don’t use my garmin. I often need to repeat myself but it does work to start a workout.

I use Siri as well, but it’s borderline masochistic.

I'm really happy with this design. I always wished the Apple Watch had a crownguard like on other watches, though I wish it was more tapered.

I wonder if the crown guard is meant to aid in slow and incremental scrolling since you can rest your thumb on them.

I know Coros watch has a crown and one of the complaints often mentioned, is the ability to fine tune the speed of the scroll.

That’s it folks. Sell your stock, Apple is going down hill. Burn your MacBooks. It’s over. Sky is falling. Buy android

Nope, not at all. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. It also doesn’t have to be that everything they do is always great. I’m normally the one that’s defending their new designs, but this just seems way off the mark. Especially for a premium product.

So we're creating articles from guesses that anyone on here could make now?

You know it isn't your job to defend Apple right? Pretty cringe.

I am actually in defense of us.

Apple cannot make a proper sports watch.

They’re not in the business for us.

Sorry, but when I'm doing 200m repeats on the track or really fast mile repeats, trying to say "hey siri, hit the lap button" isn't going to work if I'm out of breath. This is ignoring the time delay that would occur.

Can I suggest a Garmin forerunner, fenix, etc?

I only use my Apple Watch when I forgot to pack my garmin watch. Apple Watches aren’t designed for serious runners. I haven’t been in the loop but can the latest Apple Watch even make it through a marathon?

I hope this thing isn’t more than an iPhone.

LOL yeah you missed my earlier post about this. That's why I have my Forerunner 945 LTE.

Looking forward to a big ol' crown on the VR headset

Fingerprint reader like iPad Air

Don’t worry, it will surely be at least $100 less than a 14 (Pro)!

I hope you just forgot the "/s" at the end of your post?

And I‘d like to think you left one out of your post on purpose…

If they sell it as more rugged, you need a crown guard ;-) Many popular dive watches have this feature.

Is this for when you have to punch a dolphin that’s getting a bit too frisky with you, but you miss his nose and instead bash the edge of the watch against some coral?

It’s really awful. Signs of design quality dropping now that Jony Ive isn’t involved anymore (even as a consultant)

I can’t imagine this would have ever got past him.

He only just left

 

[ChrisMoBro]

This is probably the Watch People have been waiting for. Can't wait!

At $900 +? Nope.

At $900 +? Nope.

Check out the prices for a high end Garmin.

I am sure there were plenty of ugly CAD renders under Ive as well. Since basically all CAD renders are ugly.

You said you wouldn’t buy a $1k iPhone yet here we are.

Don’t you want the latest and greatest? Curved screens are so yesterday!

My Apple watch looks as dated as those people still using the first generation air pods 😂

 

[Marshall73]

It’s not pretty in that render but I’m interested to see how it looks at the event.

 

[MaSx]

Atlast, we will have a larger Apple Watch that fits well instead of tiny screens.

 

[ZZ9pluralZalpha]

Once upon a time, leaked CAD renders for the iPhone 5 were derided as supremely ugly—turns out it was actually quite a looker in the flesh. Of course, that design was then followed by the iPhone 6’s underpants-like antenna lines…

 

[theotherphil]

But how do you press it without also pressing the button on the other side. Still haven't answered this!?

The same way you do with every other digital watch.

 

[wdfly]

Hideous!!

Haha, yup 😆— that situation exactly.
