the Series 0 (first gen) watch was my first watch ever (never felt the need for a watch until then) Been using it for over 2 years and I'm super happy with it.

Been using it for over 2 years and I'm super happy with it.
Watch OS 3 made a huge difference in terms of usability for the watch. The background updates and swiping to change watch faces means I have my most used watch Complications in the 3 watchfaces I use. Weather, podcast, music and timer apps (from complications) are so useful! I feel if you don't make use of multiple complications with watch faces, you are not using your watch to the fullest :)
Haven't used it much for Siri nor have I tried testing its water resistance. And I'll probably for in for a series 3 or series 4 based on my needs.
Watch sales up 50%:
I think the Apple Watch and the AirPods are peripherals for the iPhone that are so well priced (is Apple making any profit on these sales?) that I doubt if they have a huge margin. Having the highest margin phone and low margin peripherals like Watch, AirPods (probably glasses soon?) means once you go iPhone you don't look back. In the years when an iPhone owner chooses not to upgrade iPhone, he/she may choose to upgrade one of the peripherals. Which means higher LTV customer for Apple!
- twoodfin 9y agoFWIW Siri on the Watch (even my Series 0) has gotten at least an order of magnitude better, both in what it understands and how quickly and reliably it executes commands and queries. Still a lot of room for improvement, but not the dumpster fire it was with watchOS 1.0.
- calvinbhai 9y agoTrue. For my use case though, I don't use Siri much except when I'm driving, which works great with Hey Siri on the phone itself.
