If you like buttons and need a good and reliable GPS go for an Ultra 1 for a lower cost.

Get WOrkOutDoors for workouts and maps and give AutoSleep a try if you find that Apple’s sleep estimations do not suit you.

If you want metrics similar to Garmin’s go for a subscription of Gentler Streak or Eclipse Yourself and you’re all set.

Workout needs GPS signal to measure the distance so it won’t work indoors and running stationary. Maybe consider an outdoors walk workout and try to walk at a rapid pace for a while to measure VO2 max - from time to time.

Until having an AW I used to track my steps with my phone only. Of course, those reflected only the outdoors steps and the ones registered during my phone calls (I like to walk while talking over the phone).

After wearing an AW I learned that I am doing a lot of steps indoors, all counting against the rings.

Also, if you wear the watch while doing house chores, the heighten HR will also count against the activity rings.

If you have heart risk, the high/low HR alerts could be useful.

The stand-up notifications are also very useful if you’re sedentary or work from home.

Setting timers for coffee / tea / cooking is also a godsend.

Just an update: WatchOS 10.1.1 did NOT fix offline on-device Siri in S9/U2 devices. Here’s hoping to 10.2.

Strange, it worked for me first time I tried it and every time since. Make sure you keep the fingers spread and tap the two as you would pick something up from the table.

Did you have a beta or release candidate of 10.1 before? Double tap is a 10.1 feature only.

Same here, not using Siri on the phone but love it on the watch! I usually ask it to start timers, a stop watch, the battery status, turn Bluetooth on and off. Love it!
