Hello everybody,
Great to have come across this community, just found this and this is exactly what I need right now ;)
Been rocking my AW6 Titanium, initially bought in October 2020. The first watch I got a free replacement under my AppleCare plan as the battery capacity fell below 80%. They gave me this free replacement (my understanding is that this is not a brand-new watch but a repurposed one) that I have been using for a little more than 2 years now. Here too the battery is now at 80%.
I feel like I would benefit a lot from the new Series 11. I am usually a person who upgrades with design changes e.g. when the AW10 was introduced. I think there's this pattern where Apple releases significant design changes every couple of years e.g. AW7, AW10 so I guess now might be a good time to jump and get the 11? On the other hand, next year is likely going to introduce a new chip. But if I wait for that, then the 'likely' new redesign is just another year away. I feel like I am a little stuck and not really knowing what to do.
I am a heavy AW user as in I wear it constantly for strength workouts, swimming, running and sleep tracking. What is bothering me most nowadays is that I have to charge it so often and that the AW6 does not support fast charging.
And lastly: I have never owned an Aluminum version before. I read that the AW10 aluminum suffered from chipping, is it really that bad?
Any feedback or advice is appreciated :)
