30 August 2022
The new Apple Watch model is expected to be larger than any Apple Watch before it, so new bands may be in order.

Sort by:

Those who want to will buy this watch. No need to complain. The market has always had different types of apples(pun intended). If you dislike those there are many other options

      Anonymous, 30 Aug 2022Dude you're comparing a complete different market. I&#... moreThats more of a OS issue.

      Older Tizen based Galaxy Watches also lasted much longer than the current WearOS ones.

      Both Watch OS and WearOS have some beyond terrible battery optimisation issues.

        There smart watches have more mainstream market.

        And it not about just brand reputation, the functions also matter. Where surely Apple is already made an standard in sensor accuracy, but Huawei is also neck in neck position for one third price. But the main difference is Apple will hardly last one day and Huawei will last over 2 weeks lol.

          As for the bands, it makes sense the Pro will not fit them, Series 8 itself probably will just like all previous AWs.

          As for the price, of course it's ridiculous, but if MontBlanc can ask $1,290 for their watch then Apple can surely ask $900 to $1000.

          Doesn't mean we have to buy it, people here will overreact like usual (I consider 200 euro for a smartwatch already overpriced mind you)

          Matter of time before Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo and Samsung will follow, because money and stuff.

            All this watch is, is a money cow from Apple. How many more billions do they need.

                $1,000 for a toy watch? What is another pileup that you have to carry? must be a joke!!

                  Ravinder Singh, 30 Aug 2022Apple watch 8might have to be supported all earlier bands. ... moreEventually you need to break compatibility or you're constantly stuck with designs of the past because of compatibility. The fact things haven't changed for this long is pretty good. Imagine if every version had different bands, like so many other watches...

                    1k for smart watch? Lol
                    Which doesn't even offer 1 day full battery life. Huawei gt 3 pro all the way to go for the best watch in an affordable price. And galaxy watch 5 only for android based system with good battery life.

                      Apple watch 8might have to be supported all earlier bands. It it did not, then it is not good. But apple is not a foolish company who for 2 mm changed the band

                        not all people wants to upgrade their apple watch after release. some of them do. unless they want longer battery life.
