I'll speak up and agree with the parent. I don't really like the Apple Watch, so my bias is limited. But, I've had a S0 (returned), S1 (returned), and S2 (sits on night stand most of the time). For whatever reason, the S2 is noticeably thinner and more comfortable for me. It may be because I have relatively small, bony wrists but YMMV. Hell, I'm not sure how Apple measures the thinness, but eyeballing a borrowed S0 vs my S2, I can eyeball a thickness difference, albeit maybe just with the glass circle thing jutting out from the bottom? In case anyone is curious why I don't care for the Apple Watch: - I care about truly few notifications (texts). - I expect to lift my wrist and look at the watch and see the date and time immediately, every time. The Apple Watch doesn't really do this. Sometimes it shows me an audio interface instead, which you can disable. But a lot of the time, the Watch doesn't even flip on when I turn my wrist unless I turn it a specific way and speed.

Are you sure it's the thinness and not the weight difference? 700 microns sounds inconsequential.

My S3 very reliably presents text notifications to me. I wonder why yours doesn't. As an aside, I'm also curious why you keep buying them if you just keep returning them.

  A lot of us were conditioned under Job's tenure at Apple. Every device seemed magical. I have a relative who's an Apple addict. She literally has a unopened desktop that is five years old. She bought it as a spare. She basically just surfs the web, but Apple made such a imprint on her, she just buys, or used to. Her funds are getting tight.

  I didn't say anything about text notifications being unreliable. Sorry if my wording is confusing. On your second point, I kept going back and forth on the Watch's usefulness and WatchOS was being frequently updated upon, delivering new features rapidly. I'm over that now, hence my low interest in the subsequent S3 and S4 releases.
