Hi all, I’d like your opinion on whether I should upgrade my apple watch. I have a series 4 which is not holding battery charge anymore, at least not for very long. I’m considering getting a refurbished SE, which combined with a gift card and trading in my AW 4 should bring down the price quite a b…

my kids gave me a AW8 for my birthday, upgrading from an AW4. Mainly use it for smartwatch features. Started tracking all-day HRV / sleep, and feeding that info to a ‘readiness for training’ app, out of curiosity. Thought about a Garmin but the ones I’m interested in are a lot bigger. Happy with the…

[image] ifyoucantakeit: I don’t do much with it on the “smart” side of things (e.g. replying to texts, taking calls, etc.). I had a series 1 that died. I went for six months or so without an iWatch and then finally upgraded to an SE last year. I turn off most of the smart features but I like …

I see you don’t run, but in case you do it anyway (or other non-bike endurance workouts) I can recommend WorkOutDoors. It turns you Apple Watch into a more useful sport watch. I can also recommend Athlytic, an app that will give you a training readiness score etc based on resting heart rate and HRV…

I bought one mainly for the health data and to go for a ride without a physical phone. As a phone the watch works well and i like having one less item in the back of my shirt. The heart rate mirrors my wahoo heart rate monitor which was a nice surprise.The sleep function provides a good focus. Over…

Series 8 here. I use a Withings Sleep Sensor and only wear my watch when I’m awake. For me it has nothing to do with Cycling, however I do use the Indoor Cycling when I use TrainerRoad as right now they still do not export to Apple Health. I enjoy that it tracks things without me having to even th…

My secret love is the ability to find my iPhone from the quick launch apps within the Watch! After a couple months with an Apple Watch myself, if I’m being entirely honest, this is probably the most impactful feature for me. My screen time hasn’t decreased but my lost phone couch cushion-digging …

I do the same (but with a Garmin) I had an AW, but I don’t like the notifications on my wrist (also disabled all on the garmin)

I have an AW2, and have been contemplating an upgrade. I use many of the smart features, which has been the reason I haven’t jumped to a Garmin - which I believe have superior battery life (helps on hikes). For now I’m strongly leaning toward staying in the Apple eco-system because of the way I use…

What differences have you noticed from the AW4 to AW8?
