Great updates to the Apple Watch, as usual. I really need to upgrade from my Series 0. I say that every year but it just keeps working.

@manton Yeah, I'm thinking I need to put the original out to pasture.

@tsmyther I may end up just getting the Series 3 for a simple upgrade.

@manton I will most likely go with the Series 4, for the heart health stuff. Plus, it doesn’t have the always-on “feature”.

@manton your excuse can be that the Series 0 won’t run the new OS. Luckily my Series 1 buys at least another year’s reprieve.

@manton How in the world does your Series 0 still work? Mine went dead after two years of continuous use. When I went in for a battery upgrade they gave me a brand new Series 1.

@manton I upgraded from Series 0 to 3 last year (after the 4 came out and the price dropped). I couldn’t justify the price of the 4 (especially when my 0 was still working). I’ve been very happy with the Series 3, massive improvement over the original!

@fahrni I keep expecting it to stop working. The battery is the worst part.

@manton I went from a Series 0 to a Series 4 last year and it was a blessing. The old battery was an issue but worse for me is how completely unresponsive it became when trying to start or stop workouts. It could take a minute to start one.

@manton how’s the battery life on it now? My series 0 drained in less than 8 hours, I had to upgrade to a series 3.

@manton the refurb/clearance 4s will be the "Best Buy". The bigger screen makes a huge diff!

@tsmyther I'm with you. I don't want my sales data always displaying. If it was more like what you get on low post mode (just the digital time) that would be better

@ronguest I made the same switch from Series 0 to 4 this winter. Still love the original, but it was time to switch since its battery barely lasted a full day.

@dodi Battery life is not good. I sometimes charge it briefly in the middle of the day or evening if I really need to.

@tsmyther @manton I sold my 3 to my sister so I could get the 4 earlier this year for better heart rate, bigger screen, etc. Worth it! Was initially very tempted by the 5s always on screen (ala Pebble!) but I think I’ll stick with just upgrading my 7 to 11 ;)

@manton I preordered the Series 3 when it first launched. 2 years later it's still going strong, and I get 2-4 days out of a single charge, depending on usage. I highly recommend it!

@manton forgot to add - at the new price point I think the 3 is a steal. I just bought one for my son's birthday
