    I have the 41mm blue series 7 and I absolutely love it. I upgraded from the SE as I believe it was worth the money for the upgrade. I have heart problems so the extra sensors were a must for me and the quick charging is a great feature. battery life is fantastic and the brighter screen is more useful outside. I didn't think id care for the always on display but its so nice and convenient.

    I upgraded from the Series 5. I absolutely LOVE it! Amazing what a difference just a 1 mm increase in screen size does. I bought the 45mm non-cellular. Battery life could be better but it does last all day. Mine is usually on for 12-15 hours. I don't use the sleep functions as I turn it off and take it off.

    I watched this video right before ordering mine. Been using it for two days and I have to say I'm a big fan. I used the series 2 a few years ago but I wasn't impressed with it, but the series 7 is amazing. I was waiting for a watch with a bit more of a futuristic design and I love the way the images curve out onto the side of the screen a bit, as well as the always on display. Battery life could be a bit longer but this thing is so quick to charge it doesn't even matter much.

    First time buyer and I have 45mm Series 7 with cellular. I mainly bought it for workouts because I grew tired of having to carry my phone around the gym. Just the mindset of not having to worry about my phone makes working out that much better. However, my favorite part about the watch is using wallet. It makes using Apple Pay in public so much easier because it doesn’t need Face ID (which is a pain because of masks), or type in a passcode. I also feel like I don’t have to bring my phone for everything I do. I am a minimalist when it comes to carrying things around so that brings me joy lol.

    I have a Garmin Forerunner 245, I love the battery life of the watch. Recently got my first iPhone and I am tempted by the Apple Watch. But I think I'll wait a bit before picking one up. I can see it more as an everyday watch compared to my garmin as I have disabled a lot of smartwatch features on the watch because I didn't like how it handled notifications, calls, etc. It isn't an uncomfortable watch per say but it certainly works for multiple days with sleep tracking, gps workouts, and just idling.

It works great, but I wish it were round and worked better as a stand alone cell device.

So I bought a new series 7 last week with the new iPhone 13 mini and I couldn’t be happier. Just as you said, the Apple Watch ist undoubtedly the best smartwatch right now.

I have the original Galaxy watch 46mm and love it, and the only thing I miss having is Shazam on my watch (I had a wear os watch previously).
      What makes the apple watch so much better for you?

    • @Adrian-dw1oh
      @Adrian-dw1oh 2 года назад +2

      @@Thefastlane425 well, most reasons are my subjective opinion (like looks etc.). Though, I also liked the design of the Samsung galaxy watch 4 it was annoying that between the band and the housing of the watch, the where these crevices that were allways dirty and could only be properly cleaned when I detached the wristband. Second reason is the seamless transitions between actions on the Apple Watch to iPhone and vice versa. I have to admit that I didn’t use the galaxy watch with a Samsung phone, but with a Xiaomi phone which was probably the reason it was not such a pleasant user experience. Third is the customizability of the Apple Watch. The choice of high quality wristbands, charging stands etc. from apple is really nice. I’m not saying that third party accessories are bad, but I am certain that some of them are not up to the quality and feel as are Samsung and apples own products (though I could be wrong, it’s just what I have personally seen). Fourth are the haptics on the Apple Watch. The Taptic motor gives solid feedback. I can’t remember the Samsung watch even having a Taptic motor. Fifth is the display glass. On my aluminum Apple Watch SE with the standard glass (no sapphire mix like the stainless steel and titanium variants) was more scratch resistant than the glass of the Samsung Watch. After two months I had two scratches across the screen, but I couldn’t remember how I got them (again, it could have been just a coincidence). Sixth the use of the Apple Watch is more “playful” as I would put it. I like having little quirks, for example the some Watch faces change when turning the digital crown (they rotate or the colors merge into each other) and other cool animations. Seventh is again the integration with the whole ecosystem. When I do some workout with Apple fitness + the watch connects with the iPad and I can the my activity rings changing or my heart rate and the timer on both devices at the same time. And finally the watch has subjectively better processing power and just works more fluently. On the Samsung I often had jitteriness when transitioning between setting and apps and when refreshing stuff (it was just a little bit slower in general). Oh and the Apple Watch charges faster and battery life is the same. That’s all I can think of right now and most if not all is subjective and just my personal experience. But it’s the most prominent things for me. Hope I could help you guys!

    As ever, great overview. I have the Series 6 that I bought last spring and I’m very happy with it. Had Apple Watch since Series 3, and though I wouldn’t call it a necessity, I cannot imagine life without it, especially for the health and fitness features that hep me keep track and actually has helped made a difference in my life. I wish some of my other music apps asides from Apple Music and Spotify were able to stream without the need to have the phone with me. As for the beef you have with having Apple Watch dependent on iPhone for setup and adding features, I get that this may reek of locking it down to an ecosystem, but I think it’s very practical, given the larger screen size of the phone. As people like me who are visually-challenged, trying to do setup and modifications from the watch would be way more challenging to work with and would take that ease of use downward. That’s my two cents; again, thanks for this and Happy New Year!

    I’d like the see cellular watches being the only option at some point (at the same starting price, or maybe not quite $100 more). I think the benefits are just so much better than the gps only; even without a plan. I believe you can only use the international sos with cellular model because it has the cellular bands for it.
    I think the benefits of the series 7 are connected to issues that people have in regards to getting the watch. Having a bigger display is always nice and maybe something that has held people back from getting a smart watch. People also may have concerns of durability with the watch if they drop it or bang it into things; the series 7 helps with that, especially for people wanting the aluminum watches. And of course, the fast charging helping to insure you can use sleep tracking or get enough for the day. I would really love to see apple go for a 2-3 days of battery life.
    I agree, I think having even an iPad or Mac watch app really boost Apple Watch adoption for people that don’t have an iPhone but have an iPad or mac.

    I have a Series 3 that I bought back in 2019 and, while it has been excellent and still runs well enough, I have to say the 8GB of internal storage has made for an awful user experience in 2022. I have to factory reset this thing every single time I install a new OS update. Had this device had even 16GB of storage, I'd probably be content to wait until next year before finally pulling the trigger on an upgrade, but resetting my watch for OS updates is just too far for me to go.

Having now used it for a few days, I absolutely love it and the battery life on mine seems to be significantly better than my Wife's 41mm version bought at the same time - and I can see the display very clearly despite my poor uncorrected vision.
      I'm also finding the activity tracking an absolute boon for pushing me to keep improving my fitness and the FDA approved ECG trace (I've previously suffered with with Atrial Fibrillation), plus regular heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen levels and the VO2 max calculations are all things that I appreciate.
      Finally - I have the version with cellular capabilities and that's already proved its worth too.
