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:

[ ] Standard Rich Ranting Against Apple.

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.

Dozens of sensors. Hundreds of functions. Far beyond what a "watch"
was before...

That's what a watch used to be. Could tell time. Date. Stopwatch
perhaps. Maybe had a log computer attached (pilot's version).

It's not surprising you don't get it. You're like those people who see
an "iPhone" as a phone when it's far more than that and most people
don't even use them as phones much - the rest is of far greater value.

A Timex was far better value than pretty much any Rolex. Well, except
my father's old Oyster in my drawer here. But it stays here.
