I have AppleCare thankfully so it'll be like $70.

If there are no cracks along the edges that should be free under warranty if you're still under AppleCare.

That’s most likely caused by a swollen battery, for info. Free with AppleCare.

Yeah, I looked inside, but couldn't really tell since I don't know how the battery *should* look. That said, I guess I have noticed a bit of a decrease in battery life.

It's not on you to determine, though I guess it'd make the conversation at the apple store a little shorter. They'll take one look at it and be all "yeah poo poo's hosed, here's a new watch."

If you were in Australia our consumer law would see you walking out with a new one because your old one was clearly unfit for purpose. Our warranty periods are backed by legislation for the life of the product. Not just some arbitrary period set by Apple. Sorry about your country.

Not what I would have expected either. When we bought our watches the sales person was all "applecare is basically a new watch guarantee because they're unrepairable so anything that goes wrong we give you a new one".

It's only a relatively recent change - from memory it came from someone taking a dispute all the way up to the High Court. Sorry, this is turning into a derail bragging about consumer law. Here's the relevant text from our Competition and Consumer Commission's website: ACCC posted:How long do consumers’ statutory rights apply?

Yeah that's not quite what you said earlier as it explicitly notes you can reasonably expect an item to be repaired, but not replaced. (It is, of course, still vastly better than what we have here.)

Australian Consumer Law means Apple Care is (mostly) irrelevant in Australia. We basically get free hardware repairs for mechanical failure for 2 years with iOS devices and a minimum of 3 years for Macs. 5 for Mac Pros. https://www.apple.com/au/legal/statutory-warranty/ <-- if for some reason you want to read about it.

After months of my music app being stuck in an “installing” phase, I decided to tinker with it. It hadn’t been bothering me because I just use the “now playing” screen to control my iPhone. Turns out my cellular wasn’t working either and my watch wasn’t letting me answer and hang up calls from it. It basically wasn’t pairing properly somehow, so I backed up and restored it and now I’m remembering all the things it used to do before having a stroke. E: 99% of what I use it for is controlling music, seeing the time and getting text notifications. I didn’t notice that basically everything else broke at some point.

It's stupid to buy a watch now with the next version rumored to be out next month, right? My wife's Fitbit just broke, and she's ready to jump on the AW bandwagon.

Well, it's only stupid if you pay full price. I haven't looked, but I'd expect Series 1 and 3 models to be on sale everywhere in the very near future (if not already). Don't get an S1, but an S3 should be fine for awhile.

The only new things the S4 is rumored to be bringing is a larger display (but same case size so not THAT much larger), better battery, and improved health monitoring. I'm personally waiting before upgrading my S1, but if she needs a fitness tracker NOW and the above features don't sound worth the 2-3 weeks wait then go for it.

As the only person that enjoys using the watch as a phone, I’d love a bigger/louder speaker on it.

That’s why I’m waiting? But for the average person it may not even be all that big a deal if the battery lasts an extra or the screen is slightly bigger. Now how exactly the health monitoring changes is the big question for me, but it’s already solid for regular people.

Oh yeah, I got my Apple Watch back yesterday, and they did, in fact, give me a "new" one. It might be refurbished, I don't know, but it's so very shiny again! Battery seems to be back to where it used to be (currently at 86% after 6 hours) EDIT: Here's the new Apple Watch.

Bigger screen is neat, but that watch face is loving disgusting. Best part about that is the red dot is now an outline.

Might be the angle, but it seems slimmer. I'm in either way, I have a series 0 and I cracked the bottom of the screen while on vacation so I'm primed for an upgrade.

Watch face looks like someone installed java and forgot to uncheck the toolbar install option. The bigger display is a big draw but not enough to trigger an upgrade.. if the health tracking is light years improved, that'll push me over.

I'm still on a S0, and probably will be until it decides to stop working, or ios doesn't support the version of watchos it's now stuck on. I really have no clue what a killer feature that would make me want to upgrade would be.

Me too, that's why I usually have the modular watch face going. But I draw the line at my watch looking like a 2005 winamp reskin.

I used a S0 until I happened to be able to upgrade to a S3 for a great deal and I couldn’t believe how much better the experience is with the faster watch. I can’t overstate how much better watchOS is when everything launches almost instantly.

I can’t overstate how much better watchOS is when everything launches almost instantly. The thing for me is I basically just use it for notifications and timers. Once in a while I'll reply to a message. I've yet to find an app with an interface that I enjoy using, or that is worth the tradeoff of not having to get my phone. Is siri quicker/more reliable on the s3?
