It’s ok to take it off.

I had a 5 and got a 9, but has the same thought that maybe the “x” is worth waiting for. I’m glad I got a 9 because the battery life is so much better, it charges way faster, it has an O2 sensor (I learned I probably have sleep apnea), and I upgraded to the cellular version which gives more flexibility and is a safety feature.

Now that I realize the battery is completely fine with the 9, I’m glad I didn’t wait or get an ultra. The most likely major improvement with a large generation jump is improved battery life, and a somewhat different design.

There are rumors of non specific high / low blood pressure (not actual measurements), which sounds like no big deal for my use. Glucose seems to be years away still. If they blow it out of the water with the x, I’ll trade in my 9 for it, but I doubt that will be necessary.

I set the schedule to a wide range, in case I go to bed early or sleep in / fall back asleep. I don’t have to manually turn on sleep focus at night, but do ‘manually’ turn it off on the phone in the morning when I’m fully awake. I try to keep a regular sleep schedule but this works for me and is flexible.

I found out I have sleep apnea with my Apple Watch, which is a pretty big deal.

It helps with fitness stuff / motivation.

That’s a lot of deep sleep

Have you considered the possibility that you have sleep apnea?
