I mean, this took about 15 seconds to fact check.
I asked in the other thread but nobody seemed to be able to clarify - are the GPS models still tied to the country of purchase? i.e. no roaming? It would be annoying to buy one in the USA and not have it work at home, and it is even a little annoying not being able to use one of the main features of a watch when traveling. Did this change in the 4 series? (I'm still rocking a SS series 3)
How many people are going to leave their always on displays on in the movie theater?

Theatre mode, bruh.How many people are going to leave their always on displays on in the movie theater?
I'm aware it's there, but I've noticed many times people don't use it.
That's not an Apple problem. That's a bad edict problem and you need to keep these people in check.I'm aware it's there, but I've noticed many times people don't use it.
Prob Series 2. I have that and it's fine. Just doesn't have as many features as the current models.I'm watch-curious and been looking at older Apple Watches. What series of older watches is still minimally good-working to test the waters without diving straight to S5?
Anything but series 0 is fineI'm watch-curious and been looking at older Apple Watches. What series of older watches is still minimally good-working to test the waters without diving straight to S5?
Is it worth upgrading from S4 or is it same but with always on display, compass and other small things ?
Never had a smart watch, so I'm kind of interested in this. But I don't know if I can justify paying $400/500 on a damn watch.
I think I'll wait for next one then. When I upgraded from S3 to S4 I could feel the difference with the size and look but this one feels like iPhone S models where it's only minor upgradeIt's the same except for those things, yes. And 32GB of storage instead of 16GB if you care about that. Seems to be the same actual processor

Cool, thanks!
I want the new Apple Watch but I agree with you on the iPhone news. The new ones don't appeal to me the same way as they used to. If there was a comparable watch on Android I'd most likely jump ship completely, but I just hate how bulky and big the watch offerings on the Android side are. I have a small wrist and tried the smallest Galaxy Watch once and it looked like I had a fucking phone on my wrist. They're stupidly huge. But I do acknowledge that my knowledge of other watches on Android is limited.
Personally not a huge deal to me, but it's handy when you can't raise your wrist because you're already carrying or holding something. It's convenient as it eliminates some tricky attempts at trying to get the screen to turn on when you're hands aren't quite positioned for it.I must be missing something. What's the practical benefit of the always-on watch?

I said I was never going to buy another Apple Watch until the always on display happened. They could make a week long battery but if it didn't have always on display I'd still chose the always on. Massively important update. However, in the meantime I've lost total interest in the iPhone and want to switch to Android for the Pixel 4 or Note 10+. Hmm....
Really wish we had some info on the next Galaxy Watch update.

Yes. There's a dedicated Spotify app now.
I hope it stay on using app (gps). When driving bike it would be nice to have a glimpse of the road without raising the handI must be missing something. What's the practical benefit of the always-on watch?
Discreet glipmse at the time in boring meetings. Like with a normal watch.I must be missing something. What's the practical benefit of the always-on watch?
Wow, I'm legitimately surprised it's that low! The trade-in value quoted on the site for my 2 was $50 so that's especially shitty for the 4, lol. I am still happy with my current watch so I won't be upgrading, but I figured I'd check.Lol 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?
Is a protective case a recommended buy with these watches? Fixing to be the most expensive smart watch purchase I've made (only had Fitbits before), and I'm a bit nervous about the thing getting knocked around.
It's a real benefit when swimming. Both lift-to-activate and touch sense do not work correctly in the water, and the "in water" watch setting actually deactivates these completely (you must press the crown or side button to activate the screen). Always-on would make the Watch much more convenient in comparison.I must be missing something. What's the practical benefit of the always-on watch?
My personal philosophy is that if you are spending this much on a piece of tech, you are paying for the design as well. To stick a case on something that makes it feel like a cheap/bulky version, you aren't getting the full benefit that you paid for.Is a protective case a recommended buy with these watches?

Apple Watches in cases are very nerdy. After easily breaking my aluminum one, I got a SS one and it hasn't had a scratch on it for years. The SS ones are much more durable, and definitely don't need a case.Is a protective case a recommended buy with these watches?

If you are worried, instead of paying extra for a case, pay extra for Apple Care+ (it costs $79 for two years). With AppleCare+, any repair only costs $69 no matter what you do to the thing, even if the damage wasn't accidental, and involved a hammer, a drill, and someone holding your beer. You can use it twice in that two years.Is a protective case a recommended buy with these watches?

Just FYI, there's a litany of dirt cheap bands available in every colour you want on sites like AliExpress.
I have like 7-8 silicon and fabric bands I like to switch between and the quality all seems perfectly fine. Spending that on the 'official' bands would have cost me at least 300 bucks while it was around 35 bucks total for me.
Ah, that makes sense from a practical view.Re
