It might also buffer X seconds, so if it cuts out for a second, you won’t notice the skips. It’s today’s version of the anti-skip on Discmans!

If you hold the watch so it's spinning vertically it skips less.

So in the USA, the only way I can get an Apple Watch that measures SpO2 at this point is if I buy a used model that was purchased before the early 2024 cutoff (which can be verified by certain characters in the model number)? Change of ownership on an old model doesn't affect this?

Apple’s permitted to bring in functional SpO2 watches for service/repair and for warranty replacement. (This doesn’t 100% mean you won’t lose SpO2, since what they’re permitted to do is distinct from what they’ll actually do, but the actual judgment provided them with this ability.)

I’ve had this Series 7 since launch. How do I turn on SpO2, or did one of the WatchOS updates disable it?

Open the Blood Oxygen app.  Yeah, I bought it on launch day, US model and apparently it's been tracking it ever since the day I bought it in the Health App, I just never thought to look for it. I picked my "Favorites" or whatever for the Health app dashboard, and I guess I glanced right over that. Thank you, added   (I hope an average of 98% is good over the years I've had it, seems like 100% would be best  )

Nope. Apple won in district court, but lost in the ITC - but the ITC doesn’t have jurisdiction once product is in-country, only when it’s crossing the border and for a limited time thereafter (basically while still in Apple’s possession). They can’t order Apple to disable the feature for customers who already have a watch.

My Ultra 1 is already down to 88% battery health. I did a 30-minute run today and am ending the night at 10% battery, where it used to be 60. If I hit the gym on a day where I have a late hockey game, I have to charge for a bit in the afternoon. After years of lovely watch battery life, I’m starting to think that a nuke and start over might be best. I’ve been rolling on the same backup since like iOS 3, including many betas. That’s gonna suck so much and take forever.

My S8 is at 86% health and I’m usually down to 20-30% by 6pm with one morning run in the books. Did a hard reset but still kind of iffy. It doesn’t really bother me too much when I’m working from home, but when I have an out and about day I’m mildly annoyed that I get the battery warning before I get home. I wish it would just drop below 80 before my applecare expires in September :| Also Weather complication is just randomly but consistently flasing “Loading weather…” again. Seems to update when my iPhone disconnects from WiFi so I’m wondering if it’s something with my network at home. Can’t figure this poo poo out to save my life.

I know it's bullshit to shut off core functionality of an expensive gadget you paid for, and if you're mad about it you probably should be, but one bit of advice I got is that turning off AOD does have a huge impact on battery. My series 8 is still at 95% health and with no workouts it loses about 40% of its charge a day. Logging a five hour hike is about 30-40% of its charge.

FWIW I turned off AOD the day I bought the S8. It might just be luck of the draw, honestly.

Shutting off raise to wake also makes a big difference.

I just kind of went through and disabled all the active stuff I never use.. Siri, raise to wake, umm.. a few other things.. I do use raise to wake every now and then but I'm actually ok trading that for a few more hours and just tapping my watch if I need it. I actually found raise to wake kind of hit or miss where if it works it's great, and if it doesn't work then I have to dramatically overexaggerate raising my arm to get it to comply which never fails to get a laugh out of whoever I'm around. I could force kill my battery but honestly it's not something I want to put much concerted effort into. Knowing me I'd start and then forget about it, and end up with like 80% on the dot the day my AC+ expires and get the best of both worlds
