The S6 stainless steel doesn’t have fast charging as far as I have experienced.I really like charging 8 minutes for 8 hours sleep monitoring though. Not sure S6 can do that.

I know how things work. My post wasn’t complaining. I was merely stating my current observation.Seems like you ought to know by now that year over year updates are not for people on the latest device. You post often enough to know this.
Still rocking my series 2 stainless. It still looks pristine, battery life holds up longer than a day and it does the three primary functions just fine: tells time, tracks fitness and Apple Pay works.
I’m not sure what about this can compel me to upgrade?
Agreed. I've already got a co-worker lined up to buy my Series 6. Even though I was a little underwhelmed because of no new redesign, I would still love the larger screen, brighter stand-by mode, and faster charging.I’ll sell my AW6 and get this. My out-of-pocket expense won’t be more than a couple hundred bucks plus I get to enjoy that larger screen for a full year. This is why it’s nice that Apple products hold on to their value as well as they do. Makes upgrading that much easier.
My wife barely gets a day out her S4, so I’ll get her a new one. Update yearly? Eh, maybe every other year. I’m keeping my S4, but I jusr get a day out of it. I use to get over 2 days out of the battery.Really there’s no compelling reason to update the watch yearly IMO. I kept my 0 until software updates stopped. I plan to keep my current until the same. Then it feels like an update. Yearly is just incremental usually.
But I’m frugal with all my Apple purchases. Until it significantly changes my use of it I see no reason to upgrade any device.
until watchOS 10 in 2 years.There is literally nothing wrong with an S3 in 2021. It's a perfectly capable smart watch. Buy the SE over it, sure. But as a device itself it has everything you need in a smart watch – including battery life.
Space black was exclusive for Hermes edition.It never left.

They are going for the Porsche 911 thing here - Anyone can now from miles away see it's an Apple Watch. Pretty amazing for such a young product after all.Is anyone else tired of this design?

Not a single living soul can see from a mile away, that you are wearing a Garmin/Samsung/Etc.
What was the point of the comment then? Just randomly throwing shade because you're salty? If you know it, then why?I know how things work. My post wasn’t complaining. I was merely stating my current observation.
What is your problem? I made a simple comment that I probably wouldn’t upgrade if all that was new was a slightly larger screen. There was nothing wrong with my comment. Go bother someone else.What was the point of the comment then? Just randomly throwing shade because you're salty? If you know it, then why?
Why is the Series 3 immortal

Notifications! It’s THE killer of all Apple Watch models’ battery life. If you mirror all the iPhones social media app notifications to the Apple Watch, especially if you have 100+ follows whom all got too much time wasted on comments and sharing etc.
Alohabetical order:
FaceTime
OnlyFans (all manner of the like; not insinuating your wife is this type of person but generally speaking for anyone
SnapChat
TikTok
etc there is just too many notifications: likes, shares, comments likes on top of all the comments (his, hers, they, theirs, everybody’s) just sucks up your time focus and battery life.
just mirror what’s critical.
Also turn off always on display - no need when you’re not actually looking at it, and you’ll turn your wrist to view the watch face which turns on the display, rapidly, anyhow.
these two adjustments alone can extend even an S3’s battery life from 8hrs to 32hrs - especially with so much of the first mentioned disabled.
Apologies for people who won't unsee this: But seeing as 12 is the only number that's right side up, the 6 being the direction it's lying makes the design uneven and could be read as either 6 or 9The side looks cool, I do like how the display extends on the curve of the display.
Still.. not enough for me to update though.
I do like this watch face though.
