Core temperature reading is the only reading that matters. Wrist temperature varies a lot for reasons that have little to do with a core temperature variation. Core temperature can easily and reliably be measured at forehead or hear, if they cared about this all they needed was a la IR sensor that the person can, if they feel like they might have high temperature, put near the forehead.
That’s quite literally untrue in every single sense saying that core temperature is the only temperature that matters. Someone who is putting on their watch and going about a regular day does not need that type of reading and neither do most people on a regular basis.
And these people definitely don’t need a wrist temperature reading that has no meaning whatsoever.
It does have meaning though, and is widely acceptable for its use, that’s why it exists.
…the new models are very incremental upgrades…
Many actual buyers (hundreds of millions...) do not look for the world's best devices to be changed every year for the sake of entertaining a few tech watchers. Change is not per se good when one's tools are doing the job really well already. We like improvements, of course, and faster chips keep giving us that, but change of critical tools already working very well needs to be carefully done.
Wow I certainly disagree, 100%. Some of us like solid incremental upgrades that do not radically change the world's best tech devices.
IMO there is no need for annual compelling changes, but that is just my $0.02. However I did consider the AW4 to AW7 watch upgrade compelling, for me. And I consider the Ultra upgrade compelling (for me), even coming from the AW7.
Look at the irl pics of the midnight color. It's a lot closer to black than the Apple pictures show. The black Nike band should match just fine.
Sure. I charge it for like a half an hour before I go to bed and again when I wake up. Of course prior to getting an Apple Watch I wasn’t wearing a watch. So I treat it like charging my phone. NBD.
AW sales prove that most real buyers disagree with you. And Ultra pre-orders likely further prove how far from reality your comments are.

Well that's disappointing to hear that they don't leverage the faster sampling sensors for any workout tracking. This is turning out more and more to be a complete bummer of an upgrade.
I’m fine with it. I brush 2x a day and shower. It’s enough to never run out.
I have a S4 and love it still. I have held off due to including features that didn't speak to me. I had high hopes for S8 but doesn't seem that different from 7 from 6 from 5. So i will keep hanging with my S4 and wait for S9.
Agree, I was sceptical about battery life coming from a Garmin Fenix that lasted for a week, but I made it a bigger deal than what it turned out to be once I bought my S5.
Exactly this. My wife & my AW5 battery is at 83% and with heavy use, I still have 35% charge EOD. If Apple does not wow me sans the Ultra, I may skip next year too and replace the battery. Not missing the additional.12” additional display with the 45mm.I just had a battery replacement on my S5 - I feel no need at all to upgrade. There’s too little difference to a S8. I’ll probably go Ultra in a year or two, but my trusty replacement S5 feels just as snappy as ever. For me the most important new thing this year was roaming - and that will come to the S5 too.
Save the money and get the wife a new band instead, always a popular gift.
Enjoy the kool aide. I got tired of dragging the charging cable around on frequent weekend trips. With killer features (for me) being notifications, payments, music, and of course, GPS also available on Garmins, which now feature amoled screens, there was no reason to continue that drudgery.
