Installed the beta on my phone and watch ahead of the official release next week. WatchOS10 absolutely sucks imo. I’ve always felt the Apple Watch worked where other smartwatches didn’t because it felt like a “connected timepiece” with a lot of reverence towards horology and watchmaking tradition. Os10 makes it feel like a tiny wrist-mounted computer. Lame.

Apparently the science was largely ignored up until recently but a quick Google says that they have done some studies on wrist ballistocardiography to measure blood pressure. does the bed talk to your home system? can you access the bed thru your screens?

I like it OP and feel the opposite - that they've leaned more into it feeling cohesive as a watch. I feel like a lot of the apps have been redesigned to feel more watch-like, in the way they use shape and interact with the crown. Compass is a good example Widgets just make the thing more usable too, and mean I can choose nicer faces that aren't cramming a load of techno-gobble on the screen. Which again makes it feel more watch-like to me, except for when I need to bring up messages or music or whatever. TBH it's always looked like a big dorky screen on your wrist and always will until they relent and do a round dial. But this new update feels like a good balance to me.

tbf their reasons for it sucking have little to do with it being a beta. I haven't used it, but it sounds like it's design choices, not performance or anything.

Endless Mike posted:tbf their reasons for it sucking have little to do with it being a beta. I haven't used it, but it sounds like it's design choices, not performance or anything. Yeah, that’s kind of my point. There’s too much color in the backgrounds of the UI of OS10. It makes you aware of the screen and it’s boundaries. I feel it was more compelling when it was rooted in the black oled screen, just dials and data being displayed. Also - really don’t like that clicking the side button just brings up the Control Center screen (the old “swipe from bottom” view). There’s no way any more to click the side button and get the “Favorite Apps” drawer. I used to use that a lot, and if I needed to go into waterproof mode or theatre mode, it wasn’t too arduous to just swipe up. The widgets screen is meant to replace that, I suppose. But hey, the update’s rolling out to everyone next week. If it’s what you guys are after, more power to you. I just prefer the design philosophy of “a nice watch that can do a lot of functions” rather than “smol bean computer”

Oh I completely forgot that the button will bring up control center, tbh I use that a ton like when going to bed and activating water mode and stuff, that’s like my favorite iOS 10 feature.

On my watch the backgrounds are either black and blend into the bezels or that frosted glass effects like they're layered over whatever my watch face is. It's very easy to set up so that it's still just dials and data being displayed. You have to go out of your way for that not to be the case. To get the app drawer you click in the crown now and it's all there. It's basically just swapped with the button now that widgets are a thing (and really useful).

Perhaps I am a blind weirdo, but I installed the watchOS 10 public beta, and aside from a couple interaction changes, it mostly seems like my watch when it was on 9.x. I'm on an AUW - not sure if that matters.

I can't wait to have to long-press the watch face to change faces. I will suddenly stop having to change my watch back to wayfinder 10 times a day when my 4yos swipe it accidentally or not.

quote:In a detailed report outlining his full expectations for Apple's "Wonderlust" event, Gurman said that the Apple Watch Series 9 and second-generation Apple Watch Ultra will offer various sensor and component upgrades, with a general "focus on speed, efficiency, and accuracy." These changes will include a new version of Apple's optical heart rate sensor.   (Expecting this to be Fitbit-style actual 24/7 monitoring.)

My series 6 battery is noticeably down, so I’ll be considering upgrading. I don’t wear my watch daily with remote work, but i think I wear it enough to justify an upgrade. That’s what I tell myself anyway.

Hmmmm watchOS 10 beta busted the cell plan on my AWU. Fortunately, a unpair+re-pair fixed it. Restoring an AW these days is pretty quick though. I did it while on errands it was done in like 30 mins (duration, not active).

It’s not gigantic, but it absolutely is bigger. The marketing is what initially made me laugh at it and completely write it off when it was originally announced. I only bought one when we were at the mall doing some Christmas shopping and popped into DA FRUIT STAND to try one on for the hell of it when I was killing time. Bought it on the spot when I realized it wasn’t actually some gigantic Garmin from 2006. It looks completely fine on me, but there’s no way my wife could wear one without looking goofy. But I don’t really think you can make a smaller one and expect the same battery life.

Yes But even with water lock, the action button will get pressed, and it took me forever to figure out why my workouts in hockey tracker kept getting paused and ended early. When I play, I flip my watch to the underside of my wrist and everything is all good.

I used to wear it upside down before the ultra but then that caused the action button to go off and for some reason the crown/button don’t get hit as much when I wear it normally. I don’t do much excercises other than running/biking/rowing that could hit the buttons lately though  What’s more of an issue is that if I put it on wrong the crown won’t turn, ugh. Gonna be fun with the new crown turn centric interface coming.

It's too thick. Maybe the rumored major change next year will make it thinner in which case I might be interested! Especially if they continue to not make a titanium normal one.

101 posted:Is wearing the watch with the crown/button facing away from your wrist still a viable option on the Ultra? or is that bit so bulk it still gets hit? I'm a monster and as a right-handed person, I wear my watch on the right wrist, with the crown and side button facing away from my wrist. If I'm in the gym and do certain movements where my wrists are bent, like pushups or whatever, it's the action button that I'm always pressing, which just creates a segment. If it happens a couple times, I'll move my watch an inch or so up my arm, away from my hand, and it doesn't push any buttons.
