Are you going to upgrade to the Series 3?

[tcuprof]

I'm perfectly happy with the OG SS and Nike+ series 2. I don't want LTE. As doogald said, it's supposed to appeal to runners, but not me. I don't want distractions when I run. Also, I recognize this may seem ridiculous, but that stupid red dot might just be a deal breaker for me.

I think I'm gonna upgrade my Series 0 stainless, the choice will be easy cause here in Italy the LTE at the moment isn't available. Anyway when I leave the iPhone at home it's because I prefer to make my activity with out distractions otherwise I always have it in my pocket.

No. Because of that ridiculous looking red dot.

That red dot is getting a lot of hate.

I'm going to put a red sticker on my crown, then no one will know...

Seriously though I just got my series 2 a month ago at a great price. Nothing about the 3 makes me want to upgrade. The processor speed would be the only thing. If I was coming from the original, then I might consider it, but not from the 2.

Does the Series 2 lag at all?
Apparently the Series 3 is 70% faster while maintaining a dual core chip.

To answer the question, the Series 2 does lag if the app that you are running is not cached - if the watch has to open the app from scratch. I don't run many apps at all, but I've seen the watch version of the Mac beach ball a few times when I do open the few I have on the watch.

That's probably the funniest post I've seen yet.

I suppose there could be a tactical reason for maintaining the S3's secret identity— so terrorists or muggers don't know what you have. But if that's not a consideration then I don't care who knows what Watch I have. My AWSS has a black dot on the crown. It matches the display when off so that's something. I guess. If the red dot bugged me, it would be covered. But as for what anyone else thinks... Don't care.

Yes the AWS2 does lag, as will the AWS3, and both not as much as the AW. The display can time out several times before some apps open, so the S2 is faster. The S3 should be faster still.

Using computers with SSDs, and iPads flash memory, it's noticeable when Watches lag. The S4 will be faster still. The S3 will lag by comparison. People will ask if it's worth the upgrade. The only honest and accurate answer is— that depends on you, wait and see.

No. I’m keeping my series 2 SS model.

I’m still rocking my first gen or gen 0 whatever they are calling it. Honestly it suits my needs. I use it for the heart rate piece as well as notifications. I have it since day one so it’s 2.5 years old. The geek in me wants the new one but the practical me says that I will be dropping $1150 on the new phone so maybe I shouldn’t get it. Sigh. I don’t know what to do. I’m hoping this thread helps sway me one way or the other.

This is how it’s listed in the Apple Store app.

How does that help me make a decision lol. I’m running out of time.

It doesnt. I simply cleared the name up.
If you have an iPhone 7 (Plus) now, wait for next year. You’ll thank me later. You’re welcome.

Just get the new watch instead.

Nope I have a 7- plus too big for me. I like that the X is just slightly larger than the 7 or 8

Let me rephrase:
If you have an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus? Hence the (Plus) between brackets.

This is what I plan on doing..

Series 0 here. It's time to upgrade, battery life is getting bad and it's so slow. Now just debating between the LTE and non LTE version.

 

[Innerchild]

I was thinking of getting the Series 3 but the red dot on the crown bothers me quite a bit.

I have a Series 2 stainless steel with the black crown. I think it looks very nice and dressy with the steel mesh band. I don't care for the red dot either. I wear my watch with the stem on the left side. That might make the red dot less visible.

I'm happy with my Series 2. Will be keeping it for a good while. Don't need cellular but good that Apple is expanding the line.

How has your Space Black SS held up? Does it scratch easily? Have you worn it when working out/swimming?
