Series 10/Ultra 2 owners: What would make you upgrade this year?

[The Cockney Rebel]

I think sleep score is there anyway for older models.

But to be fair you have a natural S10 and a slate S11 coming so really the best of both worlds and whatever mood takes you. And the mix of straps!

I just reordered again, and went with slate.

No point in getting another natural.

Thanks for making me realise 👍🏼.

I have a series 9 currently but it has 85% battery health and I currently have to charge it mid day if I want it to last all day, especially if I want to workout that day. I charge it to 100 before I go to sleep with it on for sleep tracking, and it’s really frustrating. Especially when I’m out and about on the weekends or something and I can’t easily charge it at my desk or something. I have an 11 preordered but it’s literally just for the battery life, my series 9 will get all the “new” features as I don’t need cellular. Debating cancelling it and just dealing with the battery life issue for another year.

It’s basically like the AWU 2, all over again.

Sleep score is coming to S10?

Do you have any links?

My slate order was cancelled, so I placed a new order. I thought about it, and natural goes with any strap. I don’t think that’s the same with slate, so I ordered natural.

Anyway, hope this order completes.

By the way, I’m installing the OS26 RC beta on all of my devices.

You?

Yep on it now including my 5 ATVs

Popped in here looking for thoughts on replacing my Series 10. After reviewing Apple's website, I don't think I will do that. From what I can tell, these are the differences:

The S11 is 5G capable.
The S11 has the "wrist flick gesture." EDIT TO ADD: S10 has this as well.
The S11 is rated for 24 hour battery life vs 18 hour for the S10. However, various posts question how that is calculated.
The S11 is listed as Wi-Fi 4 (2.4GHz and 5GHz). The S10 is listed as Wi-Fi 4.
The S11 has a more scratch resistant glass.

I'm mainly interested in the sensors/health and wellness stuff. That all seems to be the same. Think my path forward will just be a new band.

Would appreciate any thoughts/comments from others. Also, did I miss anything?

The S10 also has the wrist flick gesture.

I pre ordered, and cancelled about three times, as I couldn’t decide.

I’ve ended up realising there’s literally no point in me “upgrading” my S10.

Yep, there's literally no point to upgrade from a S10 other than if you want a different finish this time ! I'm gonna spend my money's on bands only and I gonna start with the link bracelet !

Up till 2 weeks ago I had a SS9 and two Titanium 10s one is a Hermes, because I never wear my 9 any longer (it is definitely heavier than the 10) I took it to Apple Store and traded it in before the value dropped and got a gift card to use toward my new phone. I have absolutely no desire to get the 11. Much of the new features will be upgraded on the 10. When they make it thinner and lighter then I will buy the new one.

Interesting. Apple's compare chart doesn't show that the S10 also has the wrist flick gesture.

It does.

I’ve been using it today.

5G and more scratch resistant screen. That’s all.

That and making official what has been a reality for years: Apple Watches last more than 18 hours.

The Series 11 has stolen the crown from the Series 8 as the worst update ever.

I’m a former Ultra user. The only way I would ever get a new Ultra is if they can make it far lighter. I love the weight of my S10.

I would love to see the Series line get a much bigger screen and, ideally, the flat screen of the Ultra.

I think if they included all of those changes, it would cannibalise Ultra sales.

I traded my black Ultra 2 in the S11 Ti. I had no worn my U2 for months due to its bulk. I know it is not an upgrade but the black U2 was not gaining value

Do you think having 5g will have a stronger signal? What would be the benefit?
