Dude can you do an ultra marathon and finish with enough battery life on AW6?

Unlikely. I had an AW7 Cellular and after an hour of running in the morning while listening to music it would be down to 40-30% from a full charge.

Jeez a 100mb watch update still takes half an hour to prepare.

This list is missing quite a few models…if Marketplace is to be believed

Because on there there are several iWatches, series 7 43mm, series 8 SE, and so forth

Apple Watch Series 10 teardown reveals disappointing repairability

It's not really a surprising result, but the Apple Watch doesn't get anywhere near the top score. The Apple Watch Series 10 launched last month and now...

The Apple Watch is no longer a smartwatch

Having worn both the aluminum and the titanium Apple Watch Series 10 models, I don't think the Apple Watch is a smartwatch any more. It's a true watch.

Putting on the Apple Watch Series 10 made me realize Apple has made a watch. Not just a smartwatch, but a watch, and there’s a distinct and important difference between the two words.

To understand how this has come about, we need to go back in time to the Apple Watch Series 3 and compare it to the latest version. After doing so, I think you’ll begin to appreciate how much the Apple Watch has evolved since those early days and how it’s now set to forge a new path forward.

What a completely useless and stupid article.

Yes... My Apple watch can tell the time.

 

[FiestaST]

The article is word salad telling you actually nothing.

Impressive in a sense

Good for you.

Wait how do you get it to do that. Lol

Wait how do you get it to do that. Lol

LOL, tip I recently learned is if you touch the screen simultaneously with the fingers and keep it there, it audibly tells you the time

I tripped over that with my last watch I think.

It's Not Just Me, Other Apple Watch Series 10 Owners Are Surprised By The Battery Life - BGR

The Apple Watch Series 10 battery life is so good that I routinely get over 30 hours of battery life, and I'm not alone.

bgr.com

As a longtime Apple Watch user who upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 10 a few weeks ago, I was stunned to see the amazing battery life I got out of the device. The Series 10 comes with the same 18-hour “all-day” battery life estimate as its predecessors. But I’m getting 30 to 36 hours of use on a single charge. It’s far better than I could have dreamed.

I did make one change to the Apple Watch Series 10, and I thought that would explain the significantly improved battery life experience. I disabled the Always On functionality, as that’s something I don’t need from the Apple Watchright now.

Poor Dolby.

Are people really this daft, turning the screen off saves battery, who’d have guessed it.

Battery life is a non-issue once you adopt this:

No need to.

Others have also experienced better-than-expected battery life, with many leaving the Always On display enabled.

The new Apple wallet barcode orientation is great. Much better not to have to bend your arm for the cashier to scan it.

Seen posts about this being a thing but as far as I know Apple has not come out and officially declared it a feature so maybe undercover testing but yesterday it tracked my nap and then I hit the wrong shortcut so was in DND instead of sleep mode all night and this all looks pretty on point to me.
