Keep cringing with their new ads. I really just don't care for the ad campaigns they use now and the watch still doesn't have O2 sensing back.
While I dislike many of their ads, I think this one is pretty good. Very brief and right to the point.

my daughter gave me my apple Watch as a gift, in January 2023.
been using it for almost 2 years.
these two years have been my most active (most workouts), probably ever.
did the Watch achieve this? no. of course not. i achieved it.
did my Watch help me to keep going, giving me data that i used to increase my runs and long distance walks, much like the young woman in the ad?
yes. a definite yes.
i love the freedom (notifications and apple pay). and every data point that it provides.

It still has it in places other than the US, and it's still there, just disabled.

I personally don't care anything about the O2 sensor, and haven't in the over 15 years that I've been using GPS watches. It never mattered much for my running.
