Watch Series 1

I work at home and am not exactly an outdoorsman but I got the UW2 for the large screen and battery life and I love it. I had the Series 1 AW and have used most of them along the way. The Ultra has been my hands down favorite one.

Running. Exercise tracking in general. Quick text replies. Checking the weather. Setting reminders. Music. AirPods are a great addition. Checking calendar. Health tracking. I def use my iPhone a ton. Have had a watch since the series 1. I love tech of all sorts so I just find it nice to wear and have. I def miss the Watch when I wear regular watches. I run without my phone but I almost NEVER don’t have my iphone on me, except for the short time that I run haha

I have iPhone and had Apple Watches from the beginning. Apple Watch 1, Apple Watch 6 and just got Apple 11 for Christmas. I have ran 4 marathons with them no problems and training with the free Nike Run Club app on my iPhone. Has real Olympic coaches for the training programs.

Went from Apple watch 1 then 3 then SE 2nd gen to Garmin to Balance 2 XT. The XT is the best watch for me. I'm not an exercise nut, but I walk, cycle some and and indoor row. I'm more interested in health metrics. The Balance 2 XT gives me real time HR, SPO2, steps all in real time on the watch face. Apple cannot do that. And then there's the excellent battery life, 8-10 days with everything on (no AOD) 24/7.

I have the smaller Apple Watch and bought a thin silver band on Amazon that looks like a ‘normal’ watch. It has removable links and everything so I was able to get it to fit perfectly. Most people don’t even realize I’m wearing an Apple Watch! I like that it has features unrelated to fitness that sync with my phone also

Mine is a 38mm size, I think it’s available in most models. [This is the band I wear most of the time](https://a.co/d/0aBfzyYA) and I [got this one for working out](https://a.co/d/007ytIiE) since it’s slimmer than what came with my watch

I love the Apple Watch because it’s so seamless with my phone and I love the competition/social aspect of it. It really helps me and my friends stay accountable

Haha, I did the same thing about 6 months ago. I still had both so I wore the AW for a few days and got frustrated with the battery. It was 90% charged and died on a long 4 hour hike. Went home, formatted the watch, and gave it to my mom so she could replace her 5 year old AW.

Yes BUT I am a woman and switched because the smallest Apple Watch size looks like a phone on my wrist. I hate how the activity counter is not accurate. I hate the subscription fee. I hate how there’s really no customization options like engraving or anything compared to an Apple Watch band.
