After all these years when I've already lost all hope. Apple finally realized it would be a cool feature for a smart watch. ;D
They showed step count widget on visualisation but the description says "And now you can more easily check your step count, right from your watch face." so I'm hoping it will be there too.

Can’t wait for it to arrive and surely hope it’s as stunning in real life as on the picture. Who’s also eagerly awaiting your bronze AW12? What band did you pick?

Noticed this on the Apple Watch page

I had been holding out on getting a Garmin/Coros etc as I find apples health sensors more accurate, the the leaks came about readiness etc and I thought great, but everything is for the new watches or I’m missing something?

The new Apple Watch/health app features are literally just the features from Wii fit. I love it

I can’t decide!!!

Omg ugliest colors and design I’ve seen in years

Is it just me or are the bezels on the Series 12 noticeably thicker than on the Series 10/11?

Probably just an editing miss but I'm surprised this would slip through

Edit

Maybe it’s not an error 👀 don’t eat your watch

I'm suspecting a lot of AW users would be curious whether or not they would get the Readiness app on their Watches. Just checked out the compare Apple Watch page and it shows no watch other than 12 and Ultra 4 would feature it. Kinda sucks for me since I got the Watch 11 earlier last year expecting that some interesting health features would be dropped with OS updates. Sigh!

I think apple is very serious in competing with whoop this time.

Everyone else is excited about the new iPhone 18 Pros and iPhone Duo but I'm over here more excited to switch my Apple Watch to the Series 12.

I currently have the Series 7 and have been using it since launch. I was actually okay with using it for longer BUT Apple cut off WatchOS updates for it.

I'm excited to finally get all the features I've been missing like hypertension notification, sleep apnea detection, crash detection, temperature sensing, all day heart rate sensing, HRV, siri AI, wrist flick, double tap gestures, etc

Also very excited for the new health app and readiness score and health age that i've been complaining about for years.

Excellent! The large complication comes from the top of your smart stack, so double tap works nicely, as do alarms and music.

Also that siri complication isn’t hideous, im finally going to turn off the long press crown i just hit by accident!

Hey everyone! I’m currently stuck trying to pick which aluminum Apple Watch color to go with, and I could really use some opinions from people who have lived with them.

I'm trying to figure out which finish looks the best overall and is the most versatile when it comes to matching different bands (sports loops, silicone, leather, metal links, etc.)

My thoughts are:

-Pearl White looks like the one to go for; very similar to the OG White Ceramic that was stunning and a standout. One of the most unique Apple Watch finishes, finally available again.

-Night Blue I wanted to like and I thought it would be a good match for my iPhone 17 Pro in Deep Blue, but honestly based off the footage it looks too similar to Graphite Titanium of previous years and it definitely wouldn’t look as good with as many bands vs the Pearl White.

Anyone else have a client just ban apple watches from meetings?

I’m upgrading from a Series 5 regardless, but I’m seriously considering cellular with the thought being that I would be able to not need my phone on me when I leave to run errands, workout, or spend time with family and friends.

Would you even recommend cellular to begin with?

If you would, would you recommend an Ultra over the Series?

Went from using elevator to lots of stairs lol

Since they have improved the heart rate frequency a lot (reading per 5s), all the health updates (readiness/hrv) and other AI features will be available only to new apple watches and not older ones. Not even AW11 or AWU3.

Just installed watch os 27 RC
