Well, after 2 years there needs to be more that what is listed here to make me upgrade from my OG U2:
. Blood oxygen needs to come back
. A new health sensor is a must

There might be some redesign given the 2 year timeframe ...

The listed features are merely evolutionary, AW needs a killer feature to boost it up.

I’ve said it before in other Apple Watch threads, and I’ll say it again: I really wish Apple Watches had blood sugar/A1C measuring. That would really help diabetics

This is such a cool feature

I hope Apple eventually adds this feature to the regular Apple Watch as well
Who else is amazed that a wrist-worn device can communicate with satellites 500 to 2000 km above our heads?

FFS we need more innovation than just making the display bigger by 1mm every year. Apple Watch team staffing went from the ’92 dream team to wnba bench players.
