I’ve found that when people start arguing about specs on electronics for things they will never use, the argument is over. It’s not worth engaging. Does anyone on here even use a 7 day battery life? Let’s be realistic. Most of the people here go do their run, bike, or swim and then charge their watch at night. Or, they switch to a Samsung or Apple Watch. People who argue whose specs are better miss the entire point of Apple and fail to understand why Apple is one of the most successful companies in the world.
Before anyone yells at me, I was a Garmin user.
Apple watch users definitely don't use the watch to get max battery life. Garmin users? Varies. But for now I wear it every day and got rid of everything like text messaging and alerts that drained the battery.
Apple stopped attempting to compete in the computer space against PCs. It kept their premium price point and pivoted to mp3 players. Now Apple didn't get all the market share with the iPod. But it got the dominant one or at least the socially dominant one. But it used that process to get into Smart Phones and now has a key part of the market but isn't really the dominant phone in the market. Just socially dominant. Which is again what they've done with the Apple watch.
I have an MacBook. But you'll never find me with a iPhone or an Apple Watch.

What do I know but DC rainmaker is calling it too on his initial AW review so I will default to him. He says Apple is for sure coming for a good chunk of Garmin users.Is he? Watched the review. The only sensor this watch can pair to is a blue tooth HR sensor...why would you even do that when have the wrist based HRM, other than if you were swimming. And the fish tell me they don't even swim with watches, so why would they use an HRM?
Also, can't load courses onto your watch either like you can with Garmin. Either load a non-native app or just have a Garmin.
In the video, he clearly states that this is a multi-sport deficient watch. Can apple hire engineers to fix their deficiencies? Certainly they can, but should they?
