Far superior breakdown of updates and features - and nuances with each of them - than others out there. Great job!

I hope you do a later detailed video on HOW to use the routes, how to change what I've been doing to take advantage of the new features.

Interesting to see Ray break a sweat over the course of the video. Does the Apple watch have 'doing a video' as a workout?

[danielbliss]

are they finally going to incorporate bike power meter data into their VO2 max calculation?

[MStar]

The best explanation of how the features actually work and look. I really appreciate the pictures/screenshots throughout - epic job!!!

[Oharsh]

Any chance they added maps to the workout app so you can see maps while you’re doing an outdoor workout?

[bvp]

First thought after the event: “Can’t wait for the dcrainmaker breakdown”

[nathanielyoung]

Apple: we have more metrics!
Garmin : lol

[frankb]

Great video, many thanks for that. What I am missing is more options for outdoor cycling - mountain, gravel, with ore without E support. Any news about that ?

[PoppyJr]

For the training load, I hope in the future they add the option to split the training load into two categories, muscular fatigue and cardiovascular fatigue.

The training load implementation is interesting. The upside of a HRV aligned approach like Garmin is you don't have to worry about subjective experience biasing your input... but the downside is it only works for something like two sports and it nags you about dropping load when you really aren't. I build up a massive sweat tilling my 25m squared veggie patch but Garmin acts like I'm "in recovery". So being able to set it yourself is useful to some degree.

I hope over time they will incorporate some easy way to track how much comes from high versus low intensity cardio, and unlike Garmin develop an actually useful anaerobic tracking function...

Related to satellite messaging, is it only “send” via satellite or is it “send and receive”. I’m curious if you have been out of cell coverage all day, will it receive all undelivered messages when you send via satellite?

[aimeelinekar]

I was briefly thrilled about the pause function on the rings until you said “up to 90 days”! Ah yes, the well-known tech bro gestation period of 90 days…. (Not that I’m advocating stopping all activity for the duration of a pregnancy, but there may be cases where 90 days just doesn’t quite cut it). For swimming and other watersports: it is currently impossible to stop the timer on a workout promptly as you have to eject water first, and even then it usually won’t recognise wet fingers without a lot of trial and error. Some button or crown shortcuts for pausing and stopping the workout until you can dry off your fingers are long overdue!

Any updates on the pricing for the Text over Satellite? Is that going to be for free?

[HeliosDroneWorks]

Thanks for posting! I’m watching now and looking forward to it

[plsrhall]

Does that mean we get blood oxygen sensor turned back on?

These updates are great. Happy with my Garmin Epix pro but I have an ultra 1 on standby for whenever strikes the mood. Love seeing strong competition from both sides!

[ashfigueroa]

Now I’m debating if i want to return my Fenix 7x and just stick with my AWU 2 ?

[HenryKlosok]

Would be cool to compare Apple to Garmin especially after the new Apple Watch 10 😎
