After around 4days usages with my AW8 GPS model:
1) WIFI: After you off it, it will turn on after sometimes by itself (it has a button on control centre,). so im no longer off the wifi. Apple support page said only cellular vision are able to off ,but will auto turn on until the next day.
2) Watch face: No much watch face i can use to display the heart rate. some nice watch faces are not able to display the Hr, only the icon.
3) Heart Rate: i was from fitbit tracker before AW, so i thought the HR will be real time like Fitbit, but AW8 is not real time. It seem will start measures when you have changes on your HR like form sitting to walking, running, climbing staircase. Else it will only update after certain period of time ( the period is unclear, it could be 3minutes until 20m).
4) Battery: my purpose to hv this AW8 is all about health measuring, so i turn off all the messages apps, email and calls on AW ( im personally find notifications are disturbing, and i only check on phone when i want to do so). Only allow health related apps for the background activities & notification. i always on the "Always Display Mode" when i go out, but on the"theater mode" when im home, because seldom checking the time, and HR ( no heavy activities

).... with this settings, battery will remain 50% and above at night (morning is around 80% after wake up & sleep tracking).
5) Charging: from 50% to 100%, around 30-40 min.(im using my macbook usb-c adapter.) Satisfied with the charging speed.
