This would be best place for sillicon carbon batteries. We need highest density and if needed, could be replaced every 2 yrs
That would create a significant potential vulnerability for moisture/water to seep in. I don't think that's desirable on something marketed as rugged and outdoorsy.What i want most is an apple watch that charges via USB C. Honestly, if the Ultra had the port hidden in one of the lugs or something I'd buy it.
"The black model is not as black as the Ultra 2"
Why do you think this is? Some were complaining of the Ultra 2 Black models color chipping. Maybe it's new process to help prevent this?
Maybe that's US only. Here in Canada I'm getting blood oxygen monitoring while asleep on S10.Looking at my SS Series 8, no reason to upgrade here. Maybe if Series 12 introduces Satellite Connectivity and an improved SoC, but otherwise I’m good.
One thing I find interesting is Blood Ox monitoring while sleeping is not available on the S10 or S11. Assume this is due to the actual calculations being offloaded to the iPhone rather than on-device which was Apple’s workaround to avoid that Massimo nonsense. If that is the case I wonder why my Series 8 doesn’t support Sleep Apnea detection but the 10 and higher do, given that low Blood Ox levels is a key metric when diagnosing that condition.
I never realized this but yes you are correct about this. I didn't realize they went backwards with the 10 and now 11. I wonder why they did that.The Series 9 looks like nicer with a slimmer bezel than all of these.
My iPhone has worked fine so far.That would create a significant potential vulnerability for moisture/water to seep in. I don't think that's desirable on something marketed as rugged and outdoorsy.
The usual BS ...The Series 11 is just a Series 10. They just rewrote the WatchOS code. Everything is the same. This is a sleazy and courageous move.
Which in turn is a Series 9 in a new shell, which in turn is actually an S6.
The reason why it's still available since introduction.
Battery test in these reviews are the same hours since S6.
Yes, I saw the compare page when I posted that. Upgraded chip and storage don't matter to me. There's nothing to store on there as I don't use Apple Music (thus media playback isn't really useful). Upgraded chip? The S7 is fast enough, and don't find any slowdowns. On-device Siri? I don't really use Siri on my iPhone let alone my Watch! I do use my S7 as a fitness / sleep, so those and the health tracking features matter more (ECG, O2, etc.)SE is a downgrade in screen size from Series 7, and lacks some health features, but adds others. Looking at the comparison page, you actually get an upgraded chip, storage, on device Siri. Those additions would make the watch run much better than the Series 7. I am 75% sure I am going to order one and compare it to the Series 7.
Battery improvements are great, but I still don't see enough reasons to upgrade from my AW S4, other than that it's no longer getting WatchOS updates.Seems like a big enough upgrade from my Series 5. Better battery, scratch resistance, hypertension monitor (we'll see how well it works), and sleep score. Worth it for me.
Had the same. Ended up with Series 10 at a lower price.I have a Series 7 and the battery is not great. I do want to upgrade, but the S11 isn't enough of an upgrade, and the SE3 is a downgrade in most aspects. The U3 isn't going to fit my wrist, but the one I want most just for battery. Ugh!
To move forward with the thinnest bezels in Series 13, 14, and 15I never realized this but yes you are correct about this. I didn't realize they went backwards with the 10 and now 11. I wonder why they did that.
