Problem is double imo: too many duplicate features with the iPhone + very bad battery life (relative). More specialized watches like the Scanwatch (health) or any Garmin (sport) do way better than the Apple Watch in finding this equilibrium. 

Got the classical Scanwatch (v1) for months: excellent watch. Discreet, efficient, very good at health tracking (sleep, SpO2, light sport, notifications, ...)... and its battery life is awesome. Looks way better than an Apple Watch on the wrist. I bought one for the wife to replace her Apple Watch SE as well, at first she was skeptical about the features she might loose, but at the end she also like it better that the old one. Would get the new version without a doubt. They should think about a way to provided some kind of inverted screen (white background) on the white models.

Still not aimed at game developers... they keep speaking about creators and developers in their videos, but clearly not game devs: UE5 is partially working and missing a lot of its core features on Mac, the last M1 Unity versions just keep crashing, DAZ3D doesn't work anymore since the switch from Intel, no Reallusion softs on Mac ... I guess Windows is still the future for us, even if I hate this So much power wasted

Just so frustrating for a person looking to replace their 27-inch iMac.
iMac is under $3K. And memory can be upgraded.
Studio + Studio is closer to $4.5K. But, you do get more cables.

Same here... sad cause I was looking to update my M1 Mini but the M1 Max isn't great enough - I already have a 5950X on the side with much more GPU power - and the M1 Ultra is way overpriced.

There's a difference between being overpriced and too expensive for you.

No too expensive for me, but might be overpriced for my expected workflow: I'm a game dev and at this point I don't know how it will compare to a, let's say, a RTX 3090.
