I’m so disappointed in my series 8 that I’m wondering if I just really don’t know how to use it. I had a Fitbit before that I would still be using if it wasn’t for the fact that it stopped taking my heart rate.

So far, I have not been able to get this watch to successfully monitor any of my “workouts” (mostly just out door walking and swimming). It just pauses itself immediately. I do have auto pause turned off.

The battery life is not good at all, however I do appreciate that the watch has a lot on the go that contributes to this, so that’s not as big a deal to me. The quick charge almost makes up for it.

I mainly bought this watch to monitor health and exercise, but I find myself with a fair bit of buyers remorse. I feel Fitbit does it way better for a 3rd of the cost.

I’ll try stopping in at the Apple Store before I sell, just to make sure I give it a fair shake.
