Lesson Learned from Apple Watch for SaaS founders + Review: Good, Bad and Ideas

I've had the Apple Watch since the very first version and while it's not a SaaS it's such an amazing tech product that I think us tech founders should use it to learn how good it is.

Good

• As always with Apple the most amazing aspect about the Apple Watch is the incredible UX (user experience). Not only pretty much everything works but the way it works always gives you a WOW effect.
• Apple Watch 7 display is the largest I've had on a smart watch and I can definitely feel the improvement. I think I can also easily go larger IWC style.
• Swimming: this summer I bought a high end watch from Polar made for swimming which I had to return for many reasons, above all how inaccurate it was in tracking laps. Apple does a very good job in Tracking laps.
• Workout motivation with Nike Run Club complication that tells you how many Km you ran this month (sucks I'm stuck at home with COVID can't wait to get back to walking and running)
• Workout motivation with the activity rings...helps you to stand, walk, do exercise, etc
• Apple Fitness + is amazing and of course it's even more amazing with a watch
• Call quality is amazing
• Watch 7 charges a lot faster

Bad

• To be honest I can't really think of anything bad.
• Maybe battery life is still not amazing but I'm sure they will constantly keep improving. Apple can most likely already offer an amazing battery life but they are very smart about how they manage their roadmap and how they release innovation
• It's crazy addictive for me. It was super hard to swim without it. My whole motivation was almost down to zero without tracking how many laps I was doing in how long

Ideas

• Maybe having better apps developed by 3rd party devs like whatsapp but really I feel I got all I need
• Oh add Padel / Paddle tennis as a sport
• Oh yeah, instead of having only the Red model that gives back to a charity they should come up with more colors that donate to more charities. Ex: blue for the ocean, green for nature, etc.
