I’ve got a Series 3 that I’ve had since 2017 and I only use it for workouts or if I’m doing yard work.

I’ve noticed that apps are slowly vanishing because it isn’t getting updated. First world problem, but I liked being able to open my garage door with the watch if I went for a run and left my phone inside.

I don't dive, but I understand the 15 minute gradient that often shows up on divers.

I've mostly seen it on micro brands and mods, but is there some functionality to a 60 minute bezel that has each half a different color? Or is it just chosen for symmetry?

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with my Samurai, but it still manages to get the most wrist time.
