# # Background
I have been using the Apple Watch since the first generation and keep the S8. This year is the year of routine upgrades. I originally wanted to switch to Ultra 3 because the appearance of Ultra is tougher and closer to my aesthetics. However, there is no update this year, so we can only continue to use the regular model.
This year's regular models have the following points that are quite interesting:
-The aluminum metal case with glossy texture is a bit interesting. I wonder how to match it with the black stainless steel chain strap that has not been used for a long time?
-The mainland version (Bank of China) cannot be charged quickly, what should I do? More importantly, can all kinds of previous charging accessories still be charged by the Bank of China?
# # Conclusion
* * Overall okay * *. There are bright spots and some things that fall short of expectations, but overall I still stay.
# # Key Points Quick Review
-Gloss Black Appearance:
-The whole body is deep black, and the surface appearance is very good when it is not lit.
-But this gloss black is not bright enough, and it doesn't have the metal high gloss of the previous black stainless steel version. The bright black process itself is one of the few innovations, but it is still too reluctant to compete with the polishing effect of stainless steel.
-With the ancient black stainless steel chain strap (entered in 2015), it can be seen, but the strap is obviously more glossy. Considering that Watch has not had a black stainless steel case for many generations (and there is a high probability that it won't have it in the future), now it can only use this gloss black version to fill the house.
-Charging problem:
-As an equipment party, there are too many accessories, so I never use my own charging cable. If the previous accessories can't be used, I won't use the Bank of China! After my actual test, fortunately, it can be charged normally.
-The specific charging efficiency has not been re-tested.
-Thin off the charts:
-I didn't care about thinning, but as a result, I obviously felt lighter and thinner after I got started, and the feeling was particularly obvious.
# # Is the Bank of China?
Before getting the physical item, I was also studying the channels of non-national banks. It is a better choice to visit Hong Kong or Japan physically and then buy one conveniently.
But considering the following points, I'm put off:
-Non-national Apple Watch has no price advantage.
-According to my own daily behavior path, I have time to fully charge it slowly.
-Go out and buy.
So, in the end, I decided to leave it at that!
