If you could change one thing about the Apple Watch, what would it be?

Replace the Stand Ring with a Steps ring. Yes you have the Move ring, but that tracks calories, not steps. I think the Stand ring is the most useless ring of the third, yet it's the one that kind of hamstrings you to the watch.

Also, something I noticed going through the watch faces, most of the faces are analog and not digital. I would love more Digital watch faces and be able to put more compilations on the face itself.

I agree with both of these.

Besides that —- battery life —- as stated already is the biggest one for me.

Another frequent hassle for me is not being able to say “set a timer for 45 minutes” just because I left my phone barely 100 feet away.

Watch faces!

More digital with room for multiple complications. Modular is pretty much all we get and it's not very pretty. And we need some digital faces with seconds. I'm a physician and periodically need to take someone's pulse manually. Amazingly, it essentially can't be done on the Modular. The analog second-hand complications too small to be useful.

More analog faces with some details like changeable fonts like the Hermes faces, typography and Metropolitan. More square/rectangular faces that use the whole screen like California and Meridian. Contour has plenty of space - why only one complication (plus date)? Three could fit in a triangular pattern.

A right wrist edition where the crown is on the left (which will never happen). The watch upside down looks stupid imo and right wrist crown right side is cumbersome.
With this edition, change the ui for it to match too. The clock in every submenu is on the upper right which is annoying with long sleeve jackets. All interactive watch faces have the time tilted to the right too.

The ability to use the speaker on the watch. I know it’s crappy compared to using proper bluetooth, but it would still be nice having the option without having to do workarounds.

It’s a work horse. I exercise, it records. If I wanted a fashion accessory, I’d not choose an AW!

No mater how hardcore of a fitness dude you are, if you’re wearing something this big and this many hours a day, the look/feel/design matters
