Came here expecting a spoiler, was heavily disappointed 😞

A small drink before bed is ok, don’t be chugging a litre though! Keep on top of it through the day and you are sorted

Pillow is the one for me if you want to track naps, writes them directly into the health app as well

Hydration, hydration, hydration!

I actually quite like it

I have the Ultra 2 so I do use the double tap gesture to move through widgets I have set up for glancing at stuff.

I've also never been much of a watch face swapper, tend to pick one, set it up and then let it rip

After a couple of days I got used to multi tasking so not an issue.

I've been running the developer beta's since release and not really ran into any bugs luckily, didn't have the weather compilation issue many had

They aren't going to switch things back so it's just the new normal, give it a few years and they will change things again, and we'll just get used to them then as we do now

I have the Ultra 2, In no particular order

  • Size - (I'd like an even bigger version) in terms of aesthetics and how it looks on my wrist
  • Battery Life - 2-3 days without needing to worry about going anywhere near a charger
  • Multi Hour Workouts - Being able to do a 2 hour workout and then go on a multi hour hike again without worrying about do I need a charger
  • Multi Band GPS - Tracking said hikes
  • Durability - This thing can take a knock of 2 and show no signs of damage, my 'series' watched would be scratched and dinged to bits
  • The Screen - Flat screen for the win! and big enough to be fairly useable if I want to leave my phone at home to go out for the day
  • Competed with a Garmin - I used to have a Fenix 6x Pro, the Ultra can do 95% of what I wanted from a Garmin, with the added cellular/smart functionality

Things I'm a bit 'meh' on (and I'm being really picky for most)

  • Action Button - I think this is severely under utilised, I'd like serious third party integrations to be added into this
  • Colour scheme - Give us a customisable option to pick from a range of colours apart from orange accents
  • HR is slightly less accurate than on a 'series' edition of the watch

It doesn’t natively track naps, you need an app like pillow for that (why it doesn’t is beyond me)

The native sleep app isn’t great, sometimes for me it will register sleep after sleep focus is off, but mostly not.

Get a third party app and enjoy all that sweet data

My preference is pillow as it covers naps and is better with sleep start/end times for me

It depends how often she will be on cellular and the use cases for apps etc

Will she be mostly connected to her phone, or will she be using the apple watch purely on cellular, music/podcast streaming etc
