I am on an AW 8 because there’s not enough of a change in hardware yet. Plus, with this silly lawsuit over the pulse oximeter, the new watches can’t tell me my blood oxygen levels, so I’d actually lose that ability. I know I’ve read about the ability to read blood sugar, which is great if you have say diabetes. But what I’m really interested in is blood pressure. That would be very useful and helpful for me. It would be good to have more intelligence on the watch itself so it could process more things internally, but having the phone do it instead works for now. 

One thing I wonder about is if the privacy focus could screw things up. I’ve read other stories in the past that because Apple doesn’t let Siri store information and other things and let it use other info like Google, Amazon, Open AI, etc do, it really hobbles Siri’s ability to improve itself. So Apple’s privacy focus in this case means they’re shoring themselves in the foot. 

Saving a few hundred megabytes on a drive that’s probably a few hundred gigs, or a few terabytes? Meh. 

Apple’s website says the current version is still 11.3.1…

My firmware version is listed as 0.0.2.58.
