I like to upgrade every 2 years to have a fresh tech and battery but I think I’m gonna skip 10 and keep my 8.
9 was already pretty underwhelming and 10 only brings a larger display. I really want a blood pressure sensor. And for the watch to last more than a day.
I used to wear my 8 for 24hr a day and charged it while showering or similar. But the battery took a significant hit after about a year of this and Apple refused to replace it (within AC+) because it didn’t hit the 80% design capacity mark. In real life, the battery life was so stretched out to its limit that even the 10% rendered it annoyingly insufficient (or the percentage doesn’t really represent true capacity and hid the truth).
Having the watch to be rated for extra 6hrs would have been a game changer.
That being said, I managed to crack the display so I just received a replacement with fresh battery.
- grahamj 2y agoyeah my S5 finally dropped below 80% earlier this year and it was nearly unusable by that time. Even now with a fresh battery it's still a lot more battery management than I'd prefer.
