Apple Watch Series 11 vs Series 9 (or 10). Has anyone recently switched?
I apologize if this is discussed elsewhere, but I wanted a really narrow topic.
I run about 35 to 45 mpw, which is probably fewer miles than many of you. For over a year, I’ve worn two watches. Apple series 9 (for cellular if my 12yo needs me) and a Forerunner 265s. I have pretty small wrists, which makes the AWU and the larger face Garmins unappealing and uncomfortable.
For work and other preferences, I like the Apple Watch (read: stuck in the ecosystem). I don’t currently have a battery healthy issue, but the series 9 can barely make it through the day with over 100 minutes of workout activity (despite using Spotify via the 265s). I get work notifications but only hour meetings, texts, and never have my phone on runs. I don’t receive a crazy amount of notifications.
Has anyone made the switch from the series 9 to the series 11. It says 24 hrs from 18 hrs battery. Does anyone have anecdotal evidence if they’re aw11 is performing much better throughout the day after moving from aw series 10 or 11. I feel like I have to charge a little too frequently on any day with runs over 2 hrs or I need it to be charged well before my run if it’s midday or later.
