  • Last call: back cover. It's press-fit over a teflon-like O-ring, but a thumbs-up and a firm push relieves it of duty.

  • The material has been standardized across watch models and souped up to snazzy ceramic, replacing the previous Ion-X or Sapphire options.

  • It also houses the PPG sensor array that is responsible for sensing heart rate.

  • It would've been cool to see some change from the Series 2 after complaints about accuracy in previous models. As far as wearables go, however, the Apple Watch is the best of the bad.

  • Also it appears that the wireless charging coil has been slightly modified to support most Qi wireless chargers.

  • Lastly, with the new barometric altimeter taking the spot next to the microphone, where did the air vent go? Answer: hiding out right here, next to the diagnostic port.
