How do you feel about your purchase a year later? Do you care about the newer gesture controls not being available to you?

    First 4-5 months were awesome, it was a battery tank. After that I went from easily getting over 72 hours to getting low 50s now. It’s less special when I still have to charge it every other day like my old watch, now it just has a higher soc when I charge it

    I awaited the Ultra 2 announcement. Bought a mint Ultra 1 for $450. I’m not missing out on anything.

    I only picked up my AWU1 in June, but it certainly worth the money to me to upgrade to the AWU2, let alone for the newer gesture controls.

    I upgraded from S7 to U2. I barely use the gesture. Not worth upgrade for this feature.

    Why would I? My watch is not a priority for me to upgrade every year, even the iPhones is not significant enough for me to upgrade every year. I came from the series 4 and I think I’ll buy a new one when the Ultra 6 came out.

    I just upgraded to an AWU1 from a series 3, and I’m happy I did. I got a good deal on the AWU1, and I selected it for the battery life. The pinch gesture works perfectly fine on it. I have no complaints.

    I’m perfectly happy with my Ultra. There isn’t enough of a difference (for me) between it and the U2 and whether or not to upgrade was an easy NOPE!

    Got mine a month ago for half the price (€500), it is second hand yes but the previous owner barely used it that is why he sold it. Upgraded from series 4, huge upgrade! I love this watch!

    Zero cares. 99% battery health. Some small battle scars but still performing and looking great. I wouldn’t use the gimmicky gestures

    Bought my Ultra on Black Friday after launch. It does everything I need it to; no sense upgrading. Honestly don’t use it nearly as much since watch OS 10. Stick to dumb watches these days aside from runs.
