Yeah, the battery life in my Garmin is two weeks and already has an "always on" display. Until Apple can make their watch last longer, I have no interest it.
Yeah. Transflective too
Apple overdesigned the screen IMO

That seems a little short. I have a series three and I can get two days out of mine. I basically charge every other night.An 18 hour battery life is a really hard sell coming from the Garmin world where 7-day battery life is the norm. What's eating all the juice on these? Is it really just just the screen technology?
How do these watches play with Android? I can't ditch my Android phone (or the Google ecosystem).
I have a series 2.
Is this going to be a big upgrade? Any reason to hold out until 6?
Damn 18 hours on a fifth generation of an Apple smartwatch?18 hours, but I'd say we'd get less than that.
My 2 biggest problems on the Apple Watch series 4 is that
1) Isn't always on (solved here)
2) Nearly have to take it off my wrist every other day (not even close to solved) . I turn off heartrate, simple display and it gives it a few more hours, but my Amazfit Bit literally lasted 3 weeks on a single charge. The reason I got rid of it was that the bluetooth would desync and I didn't get notifications when it happened.
I think I still want to somehow trade in my watch for this new one...
Aye, that's a shame. What am I really missing out though, I don't use imessage at all.
Yeah, the only devices that got good battery life ran on e-ink tech. Two days always on is a damn miracle with a display without major compromisesAn 18 hour battery life is a really hard sell coming from the Garmin world where 7-day battery life is the norm.

The only time my Series 4 has ever died while I was using it was when an iOS 13 beta had a bug that tanked the battery life.
Unless you are just allergic to the idea of charging once every day or two, the battery life is a non-issue.
Battery life is a killer for me. My Fitbit lasts over a week on a charge, making it good for weekend camping trips where I want to log my miles and steps.
Otherwise, I've switched everything over to Apple now. Wish they would release a simplified fitness version with better battery life, then I'd be all-in.

Think this might be the year I finally get one. Couple quick questions:
- Is there anything special about the Nike watches other than specific bands?
- Does the sport band get nasty with sweat? The sport band seems easier to clean.

I think the battery life for these is generally fine. I'm on a 2 and never have it run out in a single day.. I presume the updates in the years since have made it even better. I don't sleep with mine and just throw it on the charger for 30 minutes when I'm getting ready and it's never been an issue.Same battery life? Hard pass then. Maybe they'll get it right someday.
or their metrics say their users charge every night?Seriously man.
Its unbelievable to me that a 5th gen Apple watch hasn't improved battery life yet.
Battery life is one of the most important parts of a smartwatch.
seriously#
Thanks! I assumed they did but wasn't sure if the moved the whole line to the same glass similar to what they did with the back.the steel and edition models (including titanium) use sapphire as they always have
eBayHave a S4, considering an upgrade. Looks like Apple is only offering $100 for the trade-in, anyone know of a better place I should look?
Lmao you say that as if it's done by choice......
AutoSleep is a few bucks on the AppStore and works perfectly. I've been using it for years with different Apple watches.Does this new one track your sleep at all?
I assume the series 3 doesn't. I've never bought a smart watch before and deciding between an Apple Watch or a Fitbit Versa 2.
Would love if the series 3 could track sleep at that $200 price tag like the Versa 2.

There's no native Apple Watch sleep tracking yet, though it's been recently rumored to happen eventually
Unfortunately can't say anything regarding that, never used a Fitbit. Autosleep has tons of data points in app, but I just use it to have the sleep duration in the ios native heath app and it does that job wonderfully and accurately for me.Would you say it's as good as what you get on a FitBit?
My wife and daughter both use and love their Fitbits and I would really like that level of detail because I want to be more active.
If I can do that with a series 3 I may go in that direction.

Fools and lazy people lol. They want to give me 300 for my X when I can easily get 500 on ebay. I would also like to take this moment to say that I hate how they're skewing prices in the store app by automatically factoring in a hypothetical trade inLol at Apple. I'm getting €60 when trading in my Apple Watch 4..........lmfao..............Who in their right mind would trade in their Apple products at the Apple store?
