    Excellent review. I just don't understand why people have to make such a big deal out of one day battery life out of a watch for 90% of people they can get through a whole day with sleep tracking and wake up with 20% battery left That's perfectly fine. In comparison I find the pixel watch battery is a direct one to one match with the Apple watch series 8 I consistently get around the same amount of battery that you experience with this Apple watch. And I love that you divulged into the battery anxiety aspects for most people they're not going to kill the Apple watch series 8 in a day they're going to wake up after sleep tracking with 20% battery left just like with the pixel watch!

We have palms with fingers and thumbs for gripping things specifically, why add the grip ? Never seen anyone with a grip added to their phone in real life, only seen them in the internet 6:40 - hi, pipe ! 9:00 - that's sad :( imagine being the last of your kind 12:10 - hi, David !

    Still on my Apple Watch 5 but the battery is pretty degraded now - 74%. But I feel I should wait out one more year. The SE is cheaper but definitely not for me because I want an always on display.

    ...but nobody, including Apple, expects you to be upgrading from the series 7 to the series 8; these aren't devices you buy every year - people buying the series 8 will likely be coming from the 5 and earlier and so there are meaningful updates there. Being disappointed that the series 8 isn't different enough from the series 7 to make you upgrade is like being disappointed that the 2022 F-150 isn't different enough from the 2021 F-150 to make you upgrade.

    • @TheUnlockr
      @TheUnlockr  Рік тому +1

      These two things are definitely not the same. Apple would love for you to upgrade every year and there are studies that show that does happen a decent amount. A truck costs way more than a smartwatch.

    • @garrickdarts
      @garrickdarts Рік тому +1

      Sure, Apple would love you to upgrade every year and it was an exaggerated example, but are you really telling me that Ford wouldn't love you to buy a truck every year too?
      I'm simply asserting that it doesn't happen but would be happy to be proven wrong if you could share the studies that show a significant portion of Apple Watch users upgrade yearly because from my anecdotal experience of about a dozen people, I don't know anyone who does that.
