Guys tells how his Apple 5 watch experienced problems, so he goes and
gets a 6. Gluttons for punishment or what?

Please tell us what the photography connection is or check this box:

His problems are easily fixed following correct procedure rather than
poking in the dark and blaming the watch.

My SO's Watch 4 also balked at the update and it took a few tries. And
then, horror of horrors, a few settings did need to be reset.

Far from it, that is just your anti-Apple bias projecting.

Real watch:

I have an Omega SeaMaster, a TAG Heuer Chrono, my fathers 50+year old Rolex
Oyster, and a Seiko Solar chrono, all "real watches". Unfortunately none of
those keep as good time as my Apple Watch 4. None of them permits me access to
Apple Pay and my Amex card, my Visa card, my Goldman Sacks Apple MC Card, my
bank debit/Visa card, or my Apple Cash card.

None of them receives or sends text messages, or phone calls, a quick access
to GPS and location, weather, and so much more. Needless to say my 4 non-Apple
watches do not see much service these days. I see little need to update my
Apple Watch 4 today as investing in a truly expensive Rolex, Omega, Heuer, or
some other exotic which does not deliver the functionality that I have on my
wrist now, is pointless.
