Any clue on the blood oxygen sensor/mission situation? I missed most of the watch portion.

Also does the American version of AWU2 still not do blood oxygen?

[Daniel Red]

Still missing. Such disappointment. I'm going to pass.

Apple innovatively redefines the day to 18-hours instead of the former 24-hours so the watch can have all day battery life. Or maybe they meant a Uranus day which is ~17 hours.

I don't care that it is 10% thinner. What I would care about would be they used that 10% extra space to put a battery so that it would actually reliably last an earth ALL DAY on a 80% charge.

[Dray hand]

Once your battery health drops to 80% that 18 hour measurement drops to 14 hours which isn't enough to last the day so you have to turn off some of the smart features you paid for so it survives. If they'd just make the battery last a little longer than would address the issue. 24 hours should be the absolute minimum so the watch can still survive the entire day with future OS updates installed and a lightly degraded battery health. 

Battery anxiety sucks and the ultra is too big for my wrist.

They didn’t outright say the watch sizes if the screens are going to be bigger, which I found odd. Will they remain 41mm and 45mm case sizes and just get rid of the bezels for more screen real estate or what? I’m hoping they keep the 41mm because my wrists are too small for anything else 😭

The new 42mm "small" size is nearly the exact same size as the original Apple Watch 42mm "large". Except for the thickness:

 

42mm Series 10

Height: 42mm

Width: 36mm

Depth: 9.7mm

42mm Series 0 (1st Generation)

Height: 42mm

Width: 35.9mm

Depth: 10.5mm

 

I still have my old 42mm 1st gen on a shelf, and it looks absurdly big on my wrist. I switched to the smaller size AW after it and still use a 40mm Series 5.
