I like that zen one. I’ve had the belkin one to the same one you have i thought it was great. I upgraded if you will do the anker cube.

Yeah you can, hoping this goes through considering the fine print.
Same thoughts, the fanboy in me would love to get an ultra but I know I’d regret not getting the fenix 7x pro solely because of the battery.
I'm still on an S3 and have been holding out to upgrade. I was hoping that the ultra 2 would also bring a new colour (black/dark) and better battery (was hoping for 3 or 4 days), unfortunately, it hasn't, but the fact it will still be a massive upgrade over my S3 I expect I will still get one
Having had multiple iterations over the years, I can’t say it’s ever been a problem. I wear it during the day, I charge it at night, repeat.

I use my Apple Watch for sleep tracking and work outs, but it only takes around an hour to charge with fast charging so it’s not exactly a massive inconvenience.

Going from my ancient series 4 (still working well!) to Ultra 2 - should be a huge update! Am good with the size increase & I'm outdoors constantly so it will be a useful tool in the wilderness.

Those of you who use your watch for sleep tracking, what do you actually do with the data?
Soldato
Compare with the wife daily to see who won the game of who got the least sleep with the baby, as apparently I always got the okay.
Data proved the opposite

I've always had an issue with sleep data because its not very actionable. With Garmin at least it feeds into your body battery and recovery metrics. In some cases the data can get in your head for things like working out or making observations on your current state.

That body battery on Garmin I found to be a gimmick. Rode 140 miles, had 6 hours sleep and it told me a I was good to go! I can assure you I wasn’t

Oh I agree, the metrics aren't a replacement for good old fashioned listening to your body. I don't need a watch to tell me if i'm feeling good for a workout or not.
Doesn't help that Garmin sleep tracking a mediocre to start with.

Does anyone know if all these 3 in 1 charging stations on Amazon will utilise fast charging, or is it all about the actual charger supplied with the watch?

I believe the Belkin provides the full power, but may need to do some digging to find out.

And is also amazing for travel. Works amazing.
Apple charged me on the 13th and this morning charged me again for my S9 purchase. They claim no other charge, and because all the details are the same on Barclays side and both are still sitting in pending, they can’t do anything about it either.
And yet here I am £858 down in my account.. Just a ********.
For all the praise Apple get regarding CS, this has been a horrible experience. Just absolutely no wanting to get anything sorted.

One will be a charge, the other will be a pre-authorisation. The charge will go through, the pre-charge will vanish.

I have never in my time buying Apple products had this happen to me. The charge that is intially made then leaves my pending charges and then shows on my statement.
Not once have has there been a pre authorisation and then another charge afterwards.

The Snoopy watch face is really cute, i love it.
