After few days of observing the power consumption of my Apple Watch, with Background App Refresh turned off, I have come to a conclusion.

The power consumption remained the same as how I usually use on watchOS 2.

Background App Refresh turned on will affect power consumption in a big way.

Hmmm... means watchOS 3 doesn't improve battery life for Apple Watch series 0. Thanks for the feedback!

One thing I forgot to add that turning on the watch is much....much slower than before.

Ok, that's worrying smile.gif

Anyways I've decided to wait for Series 1 as the price difference is only RM150 compared to the Series 0 aluminium ones now.

Hi, am considering on getting an Apple Watch. I was informed that Machines is giving a 50% discount on the Series 1.

Therefore, I was wondering, should i get the series 1 now with the discounts or should i wait for the series 2? In your experiences with Series 1, is it good enough?

Thanks in advance smile.gif

Those are not Series 1. Those are the first generation of Apple watch (some call them series 0).

Series 1 and 2 not yet launched in Malaysian market.

The 50% discount is for the Stainless Steel variant of the old gen (or we call Series 0). Series 1 with the new processor which is the same as Series 2 is not available yet, but explains why there is a sales for the Series 0 biggrin.gif

Those units at Machines / Mac City with the discounts are considered the first gen series (Series 0)

In my opinions, AW series 0 stainless steel version is a very good buy now, especially some seller is providing a free Apple Watch 42mm Black Leather Loop (means two straps in total). May refer to this.

Black stainless steel is BEAUTIFUL

First glance cheap...however series 2 alu version selling for RM1749 for a 42mm. Only slightly more expensive and alu has its pro and con vs a stainless.

agreed . especially if you are just buying the watch to just view notifications and time.

The Series 1 and 2 improved speed is only utilised when you use apps in the watch alot.
If you are a swimmer who swims with a watch then series 2 is the only choice.

The price for Series 1 and Series 2 is a huge difference, think many would go for series 1 instead if they are not fully utilizing the swim function?

In my opinions, if you are not using it for swimming, AW series 0 (SS Black) is good enough and the price is attractive now.
