What significant differences do you notice from the Series 1?

Oh boy, not sure where to start. The display is worlds better, s/w is much more evolved and the whole thing just feels more finished. Workout tracking and metrics is the most important to me and having native VO2max tracking is awesome.
Compare the old 190D Mercedes to a new AMG. Both get you home, one is just faster and . nicer.
44mm feels more modern and adequate on my wrist and the AOD is making it a real watch.

I find the upgrade from my 3 to 5 a big jump. Screen size is much better and some nice added features. I resisted upgrading because I figured it wasn’t much of a difference, but have been working OT since the virus hit and decided to treat myself.

Hi everyone ...

Anyone else finding thier use of AirPods/Beats/Watch combination much more than ever before, after covid-19 WTO pandemic announcement? I most definitely have!

- Music habits: I tend to skip tracks on the fly while listening from Playlists during transit or walking travels, not having to touch my iPhone is huge!
- I've tried Spotify for the first time last month (free not premium): and it's GARBAGE (a neutered music player). I'm going back to Apple Music next week - this time for the entire Personal/Yr no more month to month.
- iMessages/Text/Email/Reminders/HomeKit control: Here Siri shines! Carrying groceries on transit then walking and getting a reply from my GF and being able to reply with Siri over voice is more accurate than tapping the voice:text reply directly on the Watch.
> Not having to take off my gloves is HUGE!
>Wi-Fi and HomeKit ... although my network gives me a connection half way down the hall before the elevators when I'm leaving, for some reason (likely due to iPhone being sleep for a while) I don't connect to Wi-Fi until I'm in the house or unlock my iPhone. What's cool is I can still tell siri to start/stop music, turn on AppleTV, turn on the lights over LTE connection ... VERY cool. This allows me to not only set groceries down, take off my jacket/sweater but also to wash my hands thoroughly before taking off my APP for a cleaning.

I really hope you're all using your Watch/headphones/Siri to the best of your abilities without having to touch your iPhone's (just remember to wash your house keys if you used your bare hands outside, it's likely you've touched your keys bare handed (just don't hand them to small children or the elderly).

Enjoy and be safe all.

Not going to lie... the SS looks nice but I can’t have any cellular devices where I work so I am limited to black aluminum.

That looks really nice, I've got the Delft so I'm going to try that out. Do you not find that the lack of symmetry in the face bothers you? I normally have 'ring' type faces left and right but yours are off-centred with the date on the right.

Maybe that's just me over thinking it though!
