Genuinely curious how many people bought their Watch mainly for the health tracking versus just wanting a nice smartwatch.

Do the yearly health sensor improvements actually factor into anyone's upgrade decision, or is it more about styling and battery life at this point?

Anyone on regular AirPods actually planning to upgrade for the ANC alone, or is it not enough of a jump to bother?

For me it's probably the Mac, purely because it's what I actually get work done on. Curious whether most people here say Mac, iPhone, iPad, or even the Watch.
