Things change. It’s not worse, mostly, just different.

For doing what it is designed to do. Yes.Otherwise. No. Fashion dictates.

Battery life is a very fashionable herring that glows bright red in all illumination.

Charge phone every day. Charge watch every day. It becomes a routine meaning neither will ever run out of battery.

Scratch/damage. Simple question. Do they do that to “normal” watches. No? Then it’s irrelevant, like it is for the phone.

I see excuses rather than reasons.

Ultra excessive overkill. Just get the watch.

Depends upon what third part apps you must have.

48hrs + watch. No phone problems.

Does Apple give a hoot about third party apps that don’t want to implement functionality.

Basic dishwasher tablet. Dissolve in a little boiling water. Let cool a little. Drop band in overnight.

Mine’s at 54% for a similar time.

User error not wearing watch correctly.

They are inevitable but I do wonder how they would work. I’m sure Apple will have nothing to do with them other than allowing a store onto their platform.

Stores need to be run which cost time and money. Who would you be buying an app from; I suspect it won’t be Apple so good luck if you have a complaint or getting your money back or it screws your device… Devs will have to handle and manage secure payments systems - extra cost. Devs will have to pay the store for being included and managed in it.

Companies like Epic and dating apps were only interested in grasping yet more money from customers with fewer protections

Third party apps are most likely causing this. Still get 48 hrs+ on my 9.

No surprises. Be at the forefront of supporting local legislation. They have to do this in the EU anyway. Easy win. Lots of positive PR. Easy win.

You don’t know what you want it for = waste of money

Stainless steel. So it looks more like a “proper” watch with a SS bracelet.
