Best feature of Apple watch that wasn't mentioned is Apple Pay. You might not call this a sports feature, but I think being able to buy coffee and cake on the sunday club ride without having to get my phone out counts as 'sport'... or being able to buy a bike for that matter.

Excellent question, considering how badly iPhone 7 held up in that colour/finish! For this specific reason I ordered the rose gold one instead. I am coming from the original Apple Sport that is on its tenth year (yah I know😂, but it works 🤷🏻♂️) and that one is in gold which held up very well for almost a decade. So I think their matte aluminium finishes hold up better than the polished ones.

I covered that bit a bit more in my written review. In this case, there's two pieces. First is the GPS piece. In that case, things were on-point and as expected, I was on target for about 8hrs of GPS run-time (by evaluating before/after battery percentages on 1hr+ long GPS activities). Their current spec for this watch is 7hrs GPS time, so above that. Meanwhile, for daily smartwatch time, I'm getting lower than expected estimates, which, doesn't really make any sense to either myself or Apple (nor does it match what some of my friends testing are getting, which is well beyond my specs). Apple's best guess is something is downloading/cachihng/etc in the background that's burning more battery than it should . They're digging into it at the moment, and I'll update more here (and my written review), once it's sorted out.

@@Dcrainmaker I wonder how many Apple Watch users are actually even regularly doing activities that would be longer than 7hrs GPS time? The main issue I have with my Apple Watch for long-rides isn't the battery, it's the fact that navigation just feels so half baked compared to my Wahoo and if I'm doing a ride that long, I DEFINITELY need proper navigation.

@@Dcrainmakerthank you! What I’ve been wanting to see is gps+ media in real life use because I can’t be the only one that wants to train with music/podcasts. I switched from a Garmin and been a 10 year long Garmin user) to an Apple Watch series 9 this year in the hopes I could leave my phone behind for once while marathon training, first and foremost for safety as a solo female runner but also for media.. I’m finding that the battery will tap out in as little as 2.5 hours if I’m streaming music (maybe changing things a few times) with the gps running on long runs. Also, I find if I don’t start with close to 100% I could also end up in trouble. Just this week I was out for 8 miles (about 50 minute run) and I got a low battery warning after starting with 50% and running gps + music streaming (service was bad and it had do search for a bit in different spots). So real everyday use for actual training is what I’d be really interested to see when looking at battery. I know I should really be using an ultra but I’m only 5’3 and even being used to wearing bigger Garmins the Ultra is just so big on me. I was disappointed they did not give us a slimmed down version in this announcement.

It really gives me insight into what is great across every platform. (And hopefully incentives Apple to improve!!) Apple and Google are clearly coming after Garmin for fitness. While most of my running and cycling friends use Garmin right now, if battery life keeps improving and they keep adding features, it's going to be hard to keep people from leaving their given ecosystem (Apple, Google, Samsung)

They are a tier II vendor so are on limited allocations. They don't expect to be able to have either available for pickup unit the first quarter of 2025. You also need to place a $CDN200 deposit on both the watch and the iPhone. So you need to have an extra 400 available that you don't need until Q1 2025! So I am skipping it until next year.
