In terms of fitness bands, I really liked the Jawbone Up. Jawbone drove themselves out business with its design, though. To take it on or off you had to bend the electronics out of place. They would die after about 3 months and Jawbone went broke replacing them for free.

my wife had one of these.

it charged via a 3.5mm headphone jack and if you lost the cap on it it looked goofy as hell (wife lost the cap)

Lol. Typical Apple, positioning removing the power adapter from the package as a benefit.

I used my S0 until they stopped releasing OS updates for it. I imagine I'll do the same for my 4.

Wait if the new watch doesn't come with a charger, why is it still $399.

They mean the brick.

Also the watch doesn't track weight lifting worth a poo poo.

Just the brick. Assume cable magnet thingy will still be there. Unless they’re “really” saving the environment.

Can you disable the always-on display on the newer watches? To extend battery time? Or for privacy reasons?

Yes, but it doesn't really save any battery at all from my experience. YMMV though.

Going to kill Peleton you mean.

The subscription part is the valuable part of Peleton's company. Anyone can buy a nice $1k bike and pair it with apple fitness
