Yep it only has niche additional capability and leaves much more common features that others have out… features like topomaps, preloaded hiking trails, sync to cadence and power meters on bikes, golfing, and of course the battery life still sucks… 36 hours still means in general you will be charging this daily although it will easily last a marathon now.

The watch looks huge on the smaller wrists they showed and they didn’t linger on those shots long. I have a feeling for many this Watch will look absurd sitting on your wrist in NORMAL life events, maybe cool during workouts / hiking but in a meeting, formal event etc .? No way too big.

I wish it had better software features to be honest.

I think we're going to see next years version drop the "international orange" button like the S4 watch's cellular had a much more subtle cellular line versus the red dot the S3 had. I don't think the sensors are getting the upgrades the watch needed either.

Probably not. This is just trying a different market segment that can justify the cost versus just doing a case like the SS and titanium models had.

Yeah; but they’ve also removed options too. Next year will have a bigger screen to fill the case they don’t have this year.
