I would love blood glucose but knowing Apple they'll gatekeep it to the USA or only add it to the ultra or limit it to a 5G model, etc. Remove basic features to punish and frustrate entry level customers.
Solar powered watches have always been a "look at what we can make" thing, not practical for anything that has the power requirements of a smartwatch.Solar powered watches have been around for a very long time. I have some Casio, Citizen, and Seiko solar powered watches that are at least 10 years old. Solar smartwatches are newer kids on the block. Will the next round of Apple Watches be solar augmented? I doubt it, but who knows, outside of Apple.
No puncture blood glucose = I shell out the cash to buy a brand new one for my girlfriend. And that's a thing I virtually never do, I buy used stuff.I would love blood glucose but knowing Apple they'll gatekeep it to the USA or only add it to the ultra or limit it to a 5G model, etc. Remove basic features to punish and frustrate entry level customers.
I've been thinking about this and all things being equal I agree. But if there are some major groundbreaking feature like blood glucose readings, that's enough that I'd be happy to trade it for the O2 sensor.Not until Apple re-enables the missing (lawsuit) blood oxygen features will I be upgrading from my Series 9.

A blood glucose sensor will be of use along with my CGM, and I’ll upgrade for that. Hopefully it’ll debut in 2026 - 2027 and I’ll be ready to upgrade by then or 2028
I know to take it with a grain of salt. I just sync my CGM to the health app and have it sync to the Stelo app and the Clarity app.Hey, just a heads up that blood glucose readings is a holy grail of wearables and it's further out than this. It'll be in the 2030s. I really wish it was sooner, but it won't be.
I will add, I noticed my watch complaining about watch temperature while charging, it stopped charging while waiting for the temp to drop. Strange as it was at home and not in direct sunlight or anything like that.Mine is a AWU2 sitting at 89%. I do notice sometimes it takes longer to charge, but then other times it seems speedy.
If you applied yourself, you would not only perceive comments about unreleased products, which isn't the core of my criticism, but valid criticism about products already released.We are still years and years away from this working, so the idea that you're complaining NOW about a very advanced feature that takes so much research reads as very unreasonable.
