I only use my Apple Watch on work days and then only to triage notifications. I’m definitely not their target audience.
Apple's Wonderlust Event - Let's Discuss
MaxSoliman I also have a series 7! Didn’t upgrade to series 8 for the same reasons… the temperature sensing and cycle tracking is a great feature but not enough for an upgrade. I’d want to see a number of in-depth health tracking features added (Rob showed me the stress tracking on his Garmin today… so good to be aware of stress throughout the day!)
And, battery life upgraded past 18hrs… having to charge before bed is annoying!
Battery life on the SE Gen2 is amazing tbh. I end the day (6am to 8pm) with almost 70% nearly every day.
What other product rumours are kicking about? I’m a bit out of the loop….
Guys, my startup for tomorrow got rescheduled so there is an off chance that I might get to watch the event live. Probably still won’t get to watch live but there is a chance lol.
Xu_Nothing Honestly, I rarely plug my iPhone in. Since I can’t use it as external storage like I can my Phone (2) I just don’t bother, I use Qi charging instead.
Natalie totally agree! I wonder how the new ios will implement wellbeing tracking and whether it will have any unique implementation for users with an apple watch
I feel like my battery health being at 87% is respectable considering my heavy usage over the last 1.75 years. But there is definitely room for improvement on that front. If I had the money I would want to test a bunch of different watches and see what suits mu usage best, but without that option the safe bet is the Apple watch
Rob check out the waveform podcast from MKBHD. The most recent episode has a segment focused on all latest rumors
I’m most intrigued to see how they approach the whole USB-C fiasco, and whether or not they make a ‘revolutionary’ version. Not long to go now
MaxSoliman True, had mine for almost 2 years now! I’d love to try a Garmin but the one I like is too expensive to buy spontaneously while my Series 7 is still good enough - let’s see what’s announced later

So what did we all think?
Looks like a solid product but super underwhelming. It’s no surprise really, Apple doesn’t need to take any risks and this phone shows. Obviously they had to change to USB Type C but what’s the point if nothing besides the actual port changed? Same charging speeds as before as far as I can tell. I’m sure it’ll sell well but hard to justify dropping $1,199 for the Pro Max. Stick to my Phone 2 for now
