better water resistance? Is this an issue for people? Since the third gen watch I swam, jetskied (standup), wakeboarded, and never had an issue.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Watch Series 10 Could Have Upgraded Heart Rate Sensor and Better Water Resistance

I agree, even with an ultra it's still once a day if you do extended workouts and don't want to worry about it dying the following day. thankfully it charges super quick, I'll toss it on charger while I shower of if I have my rings full I'll toss it on charger in the evening before going to bed
THIS! Exactly what I do. Instead of just placing it somewhere when not wearing, I just put it on a fast charger for a bit. How hard is that? A bit of an inconvenience, yes, and wished it was better, but really, how hard is it? I love my watch and all it can do for me. You even have an emergency caller right on your wrist.
That’s why I assumed me gaining weight over the years was not the cause of me having sleep apnea. I probably had it for a while and ignored all of the signs until 2 years ago when I drove from MD to FL, and noticed I was falling asleep behind the wheel even after sleeping 9 hours beforehand. It happened every time I drove more than 3 hours somewhere.
Prime reason why I do not travel anywhere without my Apple Watch. It saved my life last summer.
It had better offer more than just that. I picked up a Series 8 graphite SS model for 199 from Walmart last week and kicking myself for screwing around with Aluminum models for so long.
The Series 10 needs to be a MASSIVE upgrade for me to consider upgrading now, frankly.

I hoping along with the improved HR sensor and better battery, we could use AI and the afib setting to get closer to the Performance metrics and analysis you find in Whoop and Garmin etc
That’s an apologists take. It’s an unnecessary solution. The next watch I’m going to buy this week (Fenix 8) will get me a couple of weeks of battery. If it was the Enduro 3, it’d be weeks with all the sensors on as well.
I bought into the “just put it in a charger when you shower” excuse before I bought my Apple Watch and am honest enough with myself to admit that is just me being an apologist for rubbish design
watch doesn't need to be charged overnight.
leave it on charge when you are in bathroom, by the time you are done it is ready to go.
i do agree with you that what battery should last few days at least, we are not there yet.
it is good to know how many hours i am sleeping, but i am not buying CPAP for sure.
I am not buying CPAP for sure either. It looks awful to look like an astronaut in your bed, next to your partner.
BUT, if I discover I do have sleep apnea, I am amongst those who believe there is something alternative you can do, other than buying CPAP. Like losing weight, or doing some kind of muscle exercises with your throat, tongue, etc.
The Garmin wins on battery but loses on everything else including price. Charging the Apple Watch daily is a minor nuisance. If you are heading into the backcountry with a phone (since the Garmin doesn't have cellular) you will need to bring a power bank anyway. If there are reasons other than battery life to choose the Garmin, then that's another thing.
