You’re missing the option “I use Sometimes On Display”

Imagine having a CHOICE. You people are ridiculous, always advocating for accessibility but then completely removing the option tinhas the watch like you always have been.

AliExpress has some top grain bands comparable with 3rd party ones (might even come from the same factory), but at only 15-25 euros. I have 4 different ones and all 4 are really high tier (and obviously better than the bonded/genuine painted Apple leather).

Yeah, you wish… Then their sales would collapse because batteries wouldn’t degrade as fast with each update, sucking battery and reducing performance with bloated features. People would see that a phone last then 4 years minimum would be normal and they can’t have none of that.

30% is NOT normal! I also have S7 at 85% health. It only uses~15% during the night. Something is definitely wrong!

Wait at least some months after a release, be it major (e.g. 10) or minor (e.g. 10.1 or even 10.0.2). If it is still not up to your standards, wait some more and repeat until either the problems are fixed or the apps are no longer supported or battery dies.

Don’t listen to the doomsayers saying you need security patches or the people who keep regurgitanting shit like “apps seems snappier”, “it’s just indexing, give it time”, “it’s fine on my watch”. Both the new iOS and WatchOS are pathetic messes from a trillion dollar company.

I’m someone with a recently bought used Series 7 on 9.6.2 and 85% battery health. The watch is on my wrist 23.5 hours per day and uses only 45% battery (~2% drain per hour on average basically). And I pretend to keep it that way so there’s no reason to update.
