Apple Watch Series 9 vs. Series 10 Buyer's Guide: 18 Upgrades Compared

There is a feature setting on Apple Watch called:
- "Supports Apple Watch For Your Kids"
No kid should have a normal Apple Watch, the most they should have is an SE...., with as many features limited as they can
So people with smaller wrists get ripped and can't have the health features of the larger size?
I hope they continue to offer the 41mm. Anything bigger is too big for me. I tried and returned an ultra. Come on apple, not everyone wants bigger. We want thinner, better battery life, and more features. We also would love to have more watch faces that don’t require some special aps to use which still dont work right.
I currently have S4 SS 44mm. Prior to that I had S2 SS 42mm. The upgrade from S2 to S4 was very significant and hence I was able to justify it. Now I feel that going from S4 to S9 is less of an upgrade than when going from S2 to S4.
No matter what S10 offers, I have no desire to upgrade. I use my watch for daily cycling / walk workouts and Apple Pay. I dont use it for anything else, so I dont mind skipping another generation which most likely will be another disappointment.

5G will eat up battery, I am not sure whether Smart Watches require 5G bandwidth besides, 5G Network should be backward compatible.
Seems Apple doesn’t know what to do but make things bigger, a watch is the last thing I want bigger, I like how my 40mm s6 doesn’t bulge off my wrist. Was looking forward to the 41 since it just has smaller bezel. I wouldn’t mind if it was 42 with no bezel but bigger is a let down
Then I don’t know why they are doing this. If it is physically bigger it needs to feel smaller in some way.
The rumours where bull***t for anyone who had any knowledge of the Watch.
Magnetic bands? They only introduced the Ultra 2 years ago and they stuck with the same band system, plus your watch would fall off if you knocked it or someone grabbed it. Clearly this wasn’t going to happen.
Thinner? Well given one of the main complains of the watch is battery life there was no way it was getting any thinner.
Yeah I'm still on a 4 as well and have never seen an essential feature update that drew me to a get a newer model. I probably wouldn't be looking at the 10 if it weren't for the discontinued support for the 4 (well played, Apple...sigh).
Well, maybe they weren't aware that you don't need a heart monitor until you posted this. I'm sure Apple will remove it from the watch as soon as they see this.
So you want Apple to somehow find a way to defy the laws of physics? 🤣
Your AWS4 will not suddenly stop working, it will just be on an older version of WatchOS. I have an S5 and considering waiting another year, but I am a serious Apple Watch user and could possibly benefit from an upgrade for the 2 a days.
So how does that affect your life in any way? Live and let live, I say.
People get awfully upset about rumors and speculation around here…
Seriously - I was going to give my wife my SE2 whenever I upgrade, and she told me the 44 was too big for her. I can't imagine them making the smallest option 46mm - not everyone wants a massive Ultra on their wrist.
If the Hypertension detection is for real it will be a huge selling point.
Can we agree that the Apple Watch needs a better battery?🪫
I bet it will be 42mm and 46mm sizes, as some few people have predicted basing it on case size (as always) and not screen size. Crazy how lazy journalism has become to just copy paste the 45/49 "rumour" during the whole summer.
