Got my AW S6 delivered on 9/23 and I love it. I thought the size 6 Solo Loop band would be too big, but I think, after a couple of days wearing it, I got used it. I might return my upcoming delivery of the size 5 Solo Loop and the Sports band, we shall see.
This was my 1st AW purchase ever, so I was kinda confused on how to open the packaging. Apple's packaging is meticulous as always and the AW packaging is no exception. Both the Watch and the Band were so nicely packaged. I loved the unboxing experience.
The display is bright and when I went outdoors, when I compared the brightness between my iPhone X and the AW, the AW was definitely brighter than the iPhone X.
Battery life: I could get 1.5 days on this watch, which surprised. I kept reading anecdotes about the AW S5 and how it's always-on display killed battery life. I am so far happy with the battery life on this watch (please note: I didn't restore from backup, I just set it up as new).
Learning the various ways to program the watch was confusing at first, but I think I got the hang of it. Playing podcasts on it is kinda confusing. Sometimes it plays from the watch, sometimes it plays from the phone, and especially when I wear my headphones, it looks like the headphones automatically pair with my phone. So, when the podcasts are playing from the watch, the audio isn't coming from the Watch, but from the phone and it gets confusing. I will figure it out as I keep using the watch.
Rather satisfied with my purchase.
