This one caught me off guard. Is the S10 CPU really that big of an upgrade over the S9? What are they doing in watch os to make it that intensive. And also how's the battery life of my existing watch going to change from this?

It’s worse, the Ultra 2 is also on the S9 and magically isn’t cut off so there seems to be a lack of solid grounding for this decision.

It’s too bad we don’t have legislation that forces companies to openly document some sort of boot loader on their devices. It would be nice to have the ability to install a different OS on your phone or your watch like you can on your computer. Especially once the device is considered “obsolete”.

God forbid I don’t get the latest features on my watch
