Funny, because literally every single apple product page gets posted as "news" to HN and every time I see one I think it's just apple marketing astroturfing. Especially since most of the product updates the last few years seem to fall into the, "BUT SHE'S GOT A NEW HAT" territory.

I'm not a pull request person for Garmin myself. I switched because of battery life.

The watches I wear are mechanical, and most of them are older than I am, made by companies that no longer exist!

I can see the appeal of smart-watches for some things, but I'm too attached to my (small) watch collection to ever consider buying one.

That was my same thought! Brands I have never heard of that can't make a call, send messages or add a reminder popping up like they invented sliced bread.

We get it, some people don't want to charge a watch even though they have to regularly charge their phone, headphones, laptop and maybe car. Such a weird flex that a watch lasts an extra few days, who cares?! Charge it while you shower and you're good to go
