I can’t see AW5 will be launched any time soon, based on this lackluster OS update.
Not unless you chose to upgrade your notes app. The Appleseed beta once installed, will prompt you when you launch reminders for the first time and warns you that if you regarding the upgrade not being compatible with non beta devices.
Ridiculous idea in practice cause if you’re really working out you’d not have more than a brief few moments to look at the watch:
Running: 100m (fastest personal time 10.45sec! Guess how many times I’d look at my wrist during the run?! Not once the goal line is we’re my eyes are focused on, or my stride nothing else.
110m hurdles (personal best 12.05). Every hurdle is my focus, along with how fast my foot can get back to the floor for every precious .10th of a second and watching no ****** puts his foot over mine and pulls my foot down faster than I can and forces me not only to trip but twist and break my ankle! I sprained an ankle not knowing about this!
Long distance running: something I ne’er trained for you may get several occasional glances to help focus on. Stride, time or breathing but again not your terrain or other data while running. Pulls your focus.
Weight lifting, body building and CrossFit again you’re lifting weight and moving looking at your wrist is in between sets and reps and for me I adjust specifics then back at it.
Rowing, skiing swimming ... what workout do you really need to have battery wasted with the screen always on that boggles your mind where you’re going to be looking at it so often? Or are you just asking for something because you want it without considering how practical or useful in real world practice it really is.
Ummm, yeaaaaah.....I’m one of those people that reads, “Do you want to upgrade....”, and I’m like, yep!
I would have only upgraded my iPad if I had thought it thru...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh, well. Hopefully, they open the Watch up to public beta testing soon.
Yep, without iOS 13 your watch will be unable to pair with iPhone.
What I'm talking about is long distance running, and it's not ridiculous at all for that purpose, especially if you prefer to wear your watch on the inside of your wrist, where raise to wake doesn't work.
No offense, but please don't tell me what's practical in my sport, which, by your own admission, is something you've never done.
also, what we're asking for here is an OPTION, meaning feel free to keep using the watch as-is, if you prefer. Some of us prefer otherwise.
Of course, it is a dullshhhhhhhh... what you and that other guy are saying about wearable.
Must be good to be living under a rock or completely detached from reality.
Heads up, if you upgrade your Reminders app it also upgrades Calendar and that disabled calendar syncing for me until I figured out how to fix it.
This!
We all need this because it is a pain to have to go through and delete each text one by one, at least in my opinion!
Sometimes it doesn't register flick of the wrist and it's annoying. You know, for example you're on a treadmill, running really fast.... and it doesn't register arm move and bugs the f out of me. It's a simple toggle.
I understand the battery saving. But from a workout perspective sometimes people just want a very quick glance at their stats without having to make any drastic movements. This also hold true from a classic watch wearer perspective. Apple watch has some really slick watch faces, so for a former traditional watch wearer like myself (now have a SS S3) part of showing off your watch is the face!
You must sell your soul to the god of productive feedback (NOT reproductive) lol

Like your reply. Your points makes sense. I am recovering from illness and was introduced to interval training for my heart. Currently, I manually look at the clock, intensity level of the machine and my heart rate after each interval to make sure i stay within my limits. I plan to get the apple watch to automate and track all this for me. I still intend to keep a very close eye on these parameters therefore I do see a need to keep looking at my watch (i am hoping the watch can tap my wrist to keep me on track instead).
Plus you are going to put so many cycles on your battery, which is going to degrade it way faster than how we use the AW now...forget that!
I see a ton of side chatter and nothing that actually has to do with the article can you all go to the Watch OS 6 is announced article if you want to complain?
Anyone get an invite? I have had multiple feedback tickets over betas and haven't seen anything. Anyone know if its a different profile than the dev one since there is no public beta?

The web search sounds like something I'd use. Here's to hoping it's applicable to series 3. Same with rain chance (although the MyRadar app, even the free version, has been stellar for me). Everything else I can take or leave.

When you get s good sweat going it's hard to do anything in the watch including just activate the screen to see what's going on. I can understand the demand.

I think people are asking for the screen to be On during exercise, not that it should be constantly recording exercise data.Plus you are going to put so many cycles on your battery, which is going to degrade it way faster than how we use the AW now...forget that!

Love this reply - it shows a diversity of health threat so many of us take for granted.
I’ll be VERY curious, as I’m sure many others on these boards are as well, in what app you chose and how you use it! See if you can find one with audible announcements to help info or pace read outs. Looking forward to what you find.
Good health!!
