my S3 is fine unless you run any non-native app on it, then it is a slow piece of poo poo. I lost a bunch of tracking on my last 3 snow trips because the UI for one of the apps just wouldnt accept input due to being slow. (the timer was still running but i couldnt swipe over to the stop run page). SE on clearance pricing got me to jump. if im

My watch didn't trigger its alarm this morning. This was interesting. I should have been suspicious, because the watch face complication didn't say the time, but the sleep app on the watch said everything's fine. Even the bed time notification triggered properly the night before. I guess that's what running a beta gets you.

Siri didn’t suggest it for me last night like she usually does the night before holidays and my alarm woke me up. Not cool.

No holidays this week were I live. Also Siri disabled. --edit: Come to think of it, when I skip a next day alarm manually, I still get the notification to go to bed and it leaves sleep mode automatically at the time of the alarm, it just doesn't sound the alarm itself. It's been doing that since ever I got an AW6. Not sure what was Apple's thought process here. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Sep 5, 2022 |

Neat, I’d hate to abandon my wristband collection tho  oh well, it’s unlikely it has good battery life, besides don’t small wristbands work with the big watch as well save for not being the exact size?

If the Apple Watch pro doesn’t last at least five days on a charge it is absolutely a waste of money and impossibly big

That’s about the same size as Garmin’s flagship watches, it’s not that big.

When I bought my first watch I got the 'big' one and hated it, have been rolling the 38mm/41mm since. 49mm is comically large to me.

That looks great. I've always thought the 44mm was a bit small on my beefy wrist. I've never really seen a reason to upgrade from my series 4 but maybe this will finally be the go-round that apple convinces me.

If apple didn't manage to give a multi-day charge it's gonna flop hard. That's why the garmin ones do so well, they log all your poo poo for a week.

It will be way above $500 since there's already AWs that are at or near that price point already, with their "18 hour" battery. Not a chance we see anything under $9-1k, according to the rumors.

I expect the Pro to have a bumped up HR sampling rate during regular use, maybe even Fitbit style proper 24/7 monitoring, and this being trumped up as medical advantage for athletes to monitor their heart. And people dealing with AFib.

The stainless steel 45mm starts at $750 and the titanium 45mm starts at $850. The titanium 45mm with braided loop starts at $900. I really don’t know what people are expecting or why people are shocked that the largest and presumably fanciest Watch with the Pro moniker is going to be the most expensive version.

The Garmin Fenix starts at $700. Up to $1000 if you get all the bell and whistles. So $900 for an AW Sport sounds credible to me.

I’m kind of interested to see if there are any deep discounts on the S7 in Canada once the 8 drops tomorrow. I’m having a hard time imagining what the 8 will do that the 7 doesn’t that will already seem like pointless magic to someone like me with a S4 which already meets all my daily needs but just has poo poo battery life after X years.

You all know Apple has an ace up their sleeve of some really cool niche feature that no one is talking about that'll differentiate the pro and push non-athletes into the market for it, just like the iPhone pros for non-photographers like me that never touches 90% of the pro features. It'll be something cool and insane like video FaceTime, or a decent camera so you don't have to take your phone out of your pocket, or something else really clever. It'll have a 2-3 day battery and you'll like it because of the cool new feature.

I figure it will be very similar to the iPhone Pro Max, awesome but too big to actually tempt me to buy it.

Even the non-Solar models are at least 2-3 weeks. I think 3-5 days is a realistic target for Apple with all features enabled. A week+ in some sort of low power mode would be amazing.

It’ll need to last at least for an iron man or else it’s a joke. It’d also explain the focus on running & biking with the watchOS update, and from what I gather you have 17 hours to finish an iron man so 24 hours isn’t that far off and it gives them an easy advertising edge for the sports crowd this’ll obviously be targeted to like the pro Garmin watches. I‘m obviously pulling this from my rear end but it’s what I believe. General usage is meaningless, it’ll have to last for long bouts of exercise as a first step.

It’s one of the many reasons you should ALWAYS buy expensive things on a credit card (that you pay off right away). FYI the Apple Card does not offer this protection.

Please don’t buy a possibly 900 dollar smartwatch if the battery is less than 5 days minimum, trust me it’s not worth it. If the battery is a week long then OK I can see the extravagant purchase. If there’s nothing all that cool or surprising or if the battery life is lower than 5 days I’m just gonna buy a regular series 8 for a third of the price.

Yeah the battery needs serious power to even be considered. There were leaked ads about it and the design, but it had Safari as an app on the Watch Pro, which seems super fake to me. Even the proposed two inch screen wouldn’t make that usable.
