Anyone Still Using First Gen Apple Watch?

[TripleOne]

No issues with my series 1 but I did get series 3 for the water proof and lte series 3 is much snappier in comparison

The S3 Chip makes everything faster and smoother, I haven’t even noticed any lag at all.

I'm waiting for my first Apple Watch (2nd hand on eBay). Can't wait for it!! And it's the first gen, 42mm Space Grey Alum.

Congrats!
Are you referring to the Original Apple Watch (S0)? Or Series 1?

I’m not sure tbh, it’s a 2015 sport and that’s all I know. I was told it’s a S1 but I’ve never been sure

Oh cool!
You’ll definitely notice a difference in speed and battery life

So, and original Apple Watch like yours is called (by Apple) Apple Watch (1st Generation), but most of the rest of us call it "Series 0". Last year, when Apple released the Series 2, they also released a version of the original Apple Watch with the faster, updated processor that is in the Series 2 and Apple (and everyone) calls that "Series 1". The Series 1 is still being sold.

Here is a link with the names, as Apple calls them: https://support.apple.com/en_US/specs/applewatch

So, the original Apple Watch is called either "1st Generation" (rarely) or "Series 0" (unofficially and more frequently.) "Series 1" is the watch that was first released on fall 2016.

Cheers, that clears that up!

Are you using the speaker? Or bluetooth earphones?
You should be able to adjust the volume by rotating the digital crown.

The speaker, and its at max volume.

The speaker, and its at max volume.

I have the original Apple Watch and the speaker is loud and clear at 75% volume. If yours at max is still soft, means it ain't normal.

It's a second hard from eBay. Warranty over. Do you think Apple can do anything to solve?

They could. There's a news about the first gen Apple Watch saying warranty extended to 3 years, not sure if it's just for certain isolated issues or overall.

Thank you. I'll search now about that 3 years!

EDIT: I just searched and seems it is available to that watches " "ballooning batteries" that ended up displacing a few users' screens"

So it's only for that issue?

For my fast search, yes, but I'll visit apple oficial repair store tomorrow, and will post update here.
