Series 3 is seriously fast. It's what the original Apple Watch should've been.
I never understood this argument. Like saying, iPhone X is what 6 should have been. iPad pro is what iPad air should have been. iPad mini 4 is what original mini should have been. Smart phones is what dump phones should have been. Electric cars are what combustion engine ones should have been? Apple Watch series 6 maybe would be what series 3 should be? Where does it stop? There are always technology hurdles and limitations at the present that get sorted with the time to make room for improvements.
Nope. The first Apple Watch has struggled from the start to load apps. It’s clearly not ready for prime time.
Just like the first iPad. See how fast it is discontinued as compared to the iPad 2.
It could’ve been due to battery wear then. But even when I brought it to the Apple store, they said the battery was fine. I guess the battery health wasn’t low enough to qualify for a replacement.I have the series 0 and that is not true on my case. After all days activity (including exercise) is at 25% battery before I go to bed at 11PM. And I am up by 6AM. Not upgrading util series 4. Still happy with the first series.

Not what I asked for. Show me NUMBERS that back up Apple's assertion that the Apple Watch is up 100% YoY. I'll wait.
Precisely. Which goes back to my original post that Apple can claim all they want that the Watch is up X-percent but until numbers are released (and not hidden behind the "Other" category) that claim is like me claiming I'm a billionaire - it holds no water.You'll be waiting a long time.
This is a fantastically absurd argument. Ask any first generation adopter if they were unhappy with their purchase. Of course not. That would be like asking the first model T owners if they were unhappy with their purchases. They all know that they are on the cutting edge of technology and they accept the downfalls that come with that - the most obvious one being that they’ll be supersized with the very next generation. It is an accepted risk and certainty of being first.Nope. The first Apple Watch has struggled from the start to load apps. It’s clearly not ready for prime time.

Keep waiting. I have no stake in the game. If you’re so obsessed with the assertion, do the research yourself.Not what I asked for. Show me NUMBERS that back up Apple's assertion that the Apple Watch is up 100% YoY. I'll wait.
Yea, I had the 0 and got it on launch day. I would take it off at bedtime and put it on the charger until morning. Now, I wear it all the time just taking it off for an hour or so to let it charge and grab it after I shower.Must have had a series 0 like me. Battery lasts most of 1 day. Waiting for the next one to upgrade though as the watch just doesn’t do enough for me to justify spending that much on one every year or even every other.
I'd have gone from S2 to S3 but they lost me because they didn't do a non-LTE Stainless option.
I think the point is whether you take the highlighted part at face value; or whether you believe customers are being strung along with self-restrained steps to milk more money out of customers.
Same here - I don't need LTE, and don't want to pay an extra $10 plus taxes and fees per month when I'm never away from my phone unless I'm on wifi anyway. I've looked at the Series 3 aluminum, but it feels like such a step down asthetically from my SS Series 0, so I'll wait another round and hope they do it next time.
That being said, my series 0 is really showing its age, so if there is no non-LTE SS next update, I'll have to decide between LTE without activating the LTE (don't love the added price and the red crown though) and aluminum.
The other thing to remember is that older devices (older than S3) have received some superb optimisations and features due to WatchOS 4. It's not just down to the hardware.
Can you elaborate further in detail what you mean by This?
Not really, except that there are many posts on this forum and others where users of older watches have been impressed with the advancements of watchOS from a feature, performance and battery perspective. "My watch feels like a new watch" was a phrase I recall reading often. My point was that you don't need a new watch to gain improvements, as many of those come with the OS

I think I was one of those people. WatchOS 3 was leaps and bounds faster and more responsive than WatchOS 2 on a Series 0. .
WatchOS 3 was the best version for the first generation Apple Watch in my opinion. The performance was faster than ever and battery life was 'Increased' as well. I feel watchOS 4 is likely the last version for the first generation Apple Watch. But we will know more at WWDC 2018.
