This is fishy to me. No way that there are so much improvements when the redesign the 10th anniversary is shy one year away. Something is off, if true. Probably Change the parameter of the HR Sensor with an (a) revision and only truly change hardwaregen with the 10th anniversary. In other words using rebranded sensors not new improved tech.
Got a tip for us?

Gurman: Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 to Feature New Heart Rate Monitor, More Accurate Sensors, U2 Chip, and More

I got one last week. Amazon in my country had it at 30% off and my bank was reimbursing me 15% of all credit card purchases. I got an Ultra at almost half the price. Hard to beat!
Does the Heart Tracking in the Watch OS 10 Beta add any new detection other than Heart rates and Afib?
But it is a watch on your wrist. Do you want sensor on your other wrist and one ankle so you can have ECG V1 V2 and V3? Would everyone want that. haha.
I would disagree about "more sensors" for this reason.
If you count the algorithm that sends data to Apple how many times you upgraded or bought new hardware to see if you are a true Apple fan by heart. Than yes.
Please. I was serious. I’m looking for other detection as in Atrial Flutter, and PSVT. These are in other devices……
I wonder how exactly they would tout new processor speeds. I’m sure it’ll be XX% faster but why exactly is that significant on the watch. The processor has essentially been the same for several generations now but it’s still more than capable of handling everything it does. What sorts of things is Apple wanting the watch to do that it can’t because it’s hindered by performance. I think all anyone really wants is efficiency gains for dramatically improved battery life.
It is not just about UI, it is about functionality. Apple Watches have offered Cellular/LTE data since Series 3. This is a huge safety advantage (as one can use it even without having service). My Ultra gives me two days of battery life including doing several miles of workouts every day with a bright always on display. Not as long as a Garmin, but more than sufficient.
Well - the very same thermometer in the very same watch can measure my body temperature at the point it is making contact with my wrist!
You probably know that this is already used to help predict ovulation for female watch wearers.
If you want to know body temperature, you might need to guess it based on what the watch sensor can really measure.
You want to implant a sensor maybe? Rectal wireless thermometer? lol Think it through.
It seems like I will buy a Garmin next Tuesday. All I want is battery life.#UnSoloBobo
Thanks for sharing that nonsense #UnSoloBobo
Legal stuff prevents deeper insights from being reported. Thank lawyers for that. There is much that could be prognosticated, but someone would sue.
I was holding out for the Bulgari Black Stainless Steel DMC coated option for $2500.
In the LAB. Because this stuff is HARD. 😬

Good stuff! I'm ready for the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Bring it on!
Gurman few weeks ago: No big updates, just new chip and color... those leaks are just joke at this point. Just wait few days more and see what Apple have to offer. Few months back, made more sense, since the event was still far away and was interesting to hear stuff, but now - no.

Yes, I am aware of the ovulation bit. There has been many rumors about a full on non-rectal thermometer coming to the AW. That's what I'm looking for. I don't think shoving your watch up there is going to go down well. Or, rather — up...
More accurate sensors or better battery life would be an insta-buy from me.
Hey now! It used to vaguely do something with pointing your phone at another phone to prioritize it in the airdrop menu that I have never once seen work!
