Did the update fix the issue?I’ve had one for over 2 years now and love it. I love being able to use Siri to send text messages or make or receive short phone calls without pulling my phone out, especially while walking. My absolute favourite functions are the workout and activity functions. I’ll use the workout app everyday for my indoor cycle and try to always be vigilant about closing my exercise and move rings. I’ve lost 28 kilograms (over 60 pounds) over the last 10 months and the Apple Watch has definitely been a big contributer.
The only con with mine is that after an update late last year the battery went downhill and doesn’t last a full day. I actually spoke to Apple about it over the weekend and they said to update both my watch and phone and hopefully that will fix it.
Daily charging isnt the end of the world even though I'd like to see multi day or sleep tracking for heart monitoring but more so want it to last a full day if heavy use.I've got a series 3 with cellular and it's great especially if, like me, you think you spend too much time looking at your phone screen. I don't miss any calls or texts or Whatsapp messages or anything like that and depending how you set it up, you can receive twitter, Facebook and Instagram notifications too, and lots of other things but the massive bonus for me is that I don't scroll endlessly on those apps looking at nothing in particular. I get my messages, can respond if necessary and ignore the rest. This was such a time-eater for me and now it isn't, thanks to the watch.
As PPs have said, it's great if you want to be more active at any level and it had definitely encouraged me to be more active, even if that sometimes means just reminding me to stand up every 60 minutes!
The battery life isn't great, it needs recharging every night for the next day, which is fine but not really in line with lots of other wrist technology which seems to go on for days and days without needing recharging. Turning off the heart rate monitor helps with preserving battery life massively, though. That's the only "con" I can think of and it isn't a massive problem or anything.
