No, because I don‘t need to buy the newest Tech every year. And IF there is a new system, but I don‘t like it…. Why do I need to upgrade? Or probably with how slow Technology is evolving nowadays it be more of a sidegrade than an upgrade

Sadly, no. I‘ve been swimming with my Apple watch and also doing some cardio sessions in the pool. The HR Sensors don‘t work underwater. It will track the laps in the pool: With every pool workout you can set the length of each pool lane. For HR-Tracking you need an external HR-Tracker with Bluetooth functionality. I personally am using the Polar Connect A7

Well with the display dimmed from sleep mode, I can‘t easily access the control center so I can‘t use the red flash light from the Watch, which I need as my wife and daughter sleep in the same room. So if I am looking for something in the middle of the night I would have to unlock the display first but then using the control center, the display goes to the „max brightness“ for the given environment which is way too bright when I then turn on the flash light. In theater mode I can manually increase brightness of the display and it stays at that setting even if I use the watch.

Sleep mode alone sadly doesn‘t do it for my use case

I can usually activate that when I turn on theater mode when I go to sleep

So yesterday, directly after the update is was bad! Like 10% per hour drain.

Today, after a restart and a full charge this morning I only lost 55% in 11 hours so it‘s much better than even on WatchOS 9 for me

Not needed. As someone else stated, Apple converts it automatically or more specifically: Apps like WhatsApp or other messengers convert files and videos, usually to a lower (file saving) format
