Apple - Watch Series 1

I work at home and am not exactly an outdoorsman but I got the UW2 for the large screen and battery life and I love it. I had the Series 1 AW and have used most of them along the way. The Ultra has been my hands down favorite one.

Running. Exercise tracking in general. Quick text replies. Checking the weather. Setting reminders. Music. AirPods are a great addition. Checking calendar. Health tracking. I def use my iPhone a ton. Have had a watch since the series 1. I love tech of all sorts so I just find it nice to wear and have. I def miss the Watch when I wear regular watches. I run without my phone but I almost NEVER don’t have my iphone on me, except for the short time that I run haha

So this is an experience with Apple Watch series one that happened about seven years back I had purchased an app called heart watch and after a while it started consistently showing high heart rate turns out that I was anaemic and my haemoglobin levels were really low and at that time.when I went to the hospital I compared the readings on my Apple Watch and the medical grade heart monitor and both of them exactly the same This is the series one the first generation Apple Watch I’m talking yeah I will send about

Just upgraded to a aws10 and for first time I forget to charge. Still do it once a day but it’s never below 50% so in theory could go more than 24hrs. With my less than 80% s7 I had to charge 2x day. Biggest difference? I went with the largest watch face. So after a loyal Apple customer I now know that as a female (let’s face it 99% of purchasers of the smaller face are women), I have been shafted with a smaller capacity battery for the princely sum of £30 cheaper price tag. Could never understand all the people who said watch battery lasted.

Haha, I did the same thing about 6 months ago. I still had both so I wore the AW for a few days and got frustrated with the battery. It was 90% charged and died on a long 4 hour hike. Went home, formatted the watch, and gave it to my mom so she could replace her 5 year old AW.

Yes BUT I am a woman and switched because the smallest Apple Watch size looks like a phone on my wrist. I hate how the activity counter is not accurate. I hate the subscription fee. I hate how there’s really no customization options like engraving or anything compared to an Apple Watch band.

I bought the aw1 till aw7 because I startet running I bought the forerunner 165, the battery life was cool, the body battery and hfv was very interesting so I upgraded to forerunner 570 this year… but the point is, statics like body battery etc is more or less just a rough calculation and drives me crazy sometimes :D so I think I will go back to aw some days

I use AutoSleep because it has blood oxygen info and respiration rate graphs that I find very helpful. I also look at the built-in Apple Sleep app for comparison. They do not agree across the board, but the AutoSleep app is more accurate when it comes to whether or not I feel refreshed throughout the day. I do use AutoSleep's "Lights Off" function on my watch, because my sleep time does change as much as a half hour in either direction. That seems to make it more accurate than Apple's app.

If you are coming from Garmin and their amazing battery life, get the Apple Ultra or the Ultra 2. It gives you 2 days (plus or minus a few hours depending on the activity) and it will give you sufficient battery life for your hiking unless you are doing multi-day hiking expeditions in places where you can’t charge your watch. I ‘upgraded’ from an Apple Watch Series 8 after my winter cycling proved too much for the Series 8 and the battery life was simply insufficient for a 6 hour plus ride especially in the brutal cold. An Apple Watch (not the SE, the SE has sketchy battery life) is enough for most activities that last several hours. If you are doing activities that are going the 24 hour mark, get the Apple Ultra watch. For multi days, you can use your Ultra watch if you are going to be charging it at the end of the day. If you are unable or unwilling to charge the watch after the end of a day or two, stay with a Garmin. Of course, you can place your Apple Watch on low power modes and switch off notifications to preserve battery life. I straddle both ecosystems. I have a Garmin bike computer, light, radar, cadence and speed sensors and the heart rate monitor. I have Apple for the watch and everything else…

Hi! I'm on the Series 6 Titanium (Natural) in 44 and absolutely love the material and color (and the size). Now, as the battery is slowly but surely getting old (78%), I'm struggling to decide on where to go next. I'm wondering what y'all have upgraded to, if at all? The Ultra (with the lovely natural titanium) is too large and bulky for my wrist. I could upgrade to a 7 Titanium (45), knowing that there is no Titanium successor in a similar size, basically postponing the decision-making. Also, feature-wise not many compelling improvements compared to my 6. I have tried the Aluminum Starlight and Silver colors, the Starlight ist too rosé-ish for me. The silver is okay-ish but definitely does not feel as premium as titanium and most of my straps (natural titanium) do not quite fit color-wise. So the 9 (45) and the 10 (42) in aluminum are an option, but again, do not feel as premium and require new straps, especially the new 42 size (as the 46 is too large for my wrist). Then there's the 10 (42) natural titanium polished, it could be an option but would need to try first to see if I like it. However, too expensive for now.
