Archive: Replaced Brenda’s older Apple Watch earlier this month

Posted By on June 13, 2024

It is shocking to count the years since I gave Brenda her first Apple Watch for Christmas in 2015 — NINE … shocker! I would like to be able to say that it actually lasted that long, Brenda's new Apple Watchbut not all that long after she started wearing it, the battery “bloated” in the charger and failed. It was replaced, but did leave a bad taste in my mouth for small devices without replaceable batteries. (Hm, can I make this a Throwback Thursday #TBT post?)

Fast forward to her using it everyday for more tech things than I ever expected (she tends not to be all that techy) … and has been complaining that the battery would no longer last a full day. So for our anniversary earlier this month, I decided it was time for an upgrade with the primary goal to be something she could wear in the water … or at least get wet. She loves the new Apple Watch SE v2 which is rare when I give her a technology based gift like a notebook computer, phone or watch. 😉
