If you bought an Ultra, why did you choose se it over the regular Apple Watch?
When I saw it announced last year, I thought to myself “no one is going to buy that”. I just thought there were too few features that most people don’t need. But now I see them everywhere. I don’t see the appeal of increased battery life being worth twice the price of the standard watch.
Why did you buy the Ultra and is it worth the price to you?
Prove me wrong I guess?
Can an ultra last 30 hours using GPS? My gf does 100 mile races sometimes and I wonder if the Ultra would last?
Since my pen1s is rather small and I have a lot of insecurities I tend to buy the biggest of the biggest. Even thought I don’t use all of the functions.
The look - love the flat screen and design. The battery life. Titanium.
My precious versions were stainless steel so it didn’t even feel like I was paying more.
I still love my ultra in way I never LOVED my precious Apple Watches.
If you’re in a budget where the extra cost is meaningful to you, then those features might not be worth it.
I wanted a new Apple Watch, was on the Series 4 for almost 5yrs. Had some birthday money and a nice gift card I could use for it. Needed something to motivate me to get my ass “off the couch” and track my off the couch movement on whatever i do. All the other things, bigger screen, battery, speed, are obvious. Decided to just go for it and I’ve had the AWU2 for a couple weeks, yes, it’s been worth it for me.
Battery life and screen size are the reasons I want it. But I’ve never bought anything more than the larger aluminum because there are not really any additional features in the more expensive watches to justify the cost. Boy would I love one of the stainless steel ones, but I feel like nearly $500 for a watch is plenty.
I don’t have one but it will be my next watch. Nice looking dive computers are more expensive than the ultra and the ultra is also an Apple Watch.
When it comes to Apple my attitude is if I’m going to buy their stuff I might as well get the best one
the two main things for me would be the battery life and multi-band GPS, though really, Apple has no excuse for those things not being far better than they are on the Series 9 currently.
- Way better battery and screen.
- Action button is extremely useful for me. G
- enerally prefer the buttons.
- Much more durable.
My only complaint is that there isn’t a black watch. Otherwise, it’s IMO a superior product in every way outside of maybe looks which will be more subjective.
I actually wish they made it in the Titanium blue. I would have loved to color match to my blue titanium 15 Pro Max
Its extremely better looking. I had two previous apple watches. The eco system is great. The ultra is just prettier.
Battery is not an issue for me. All my previous apple watches got me thru the day easy, only charge when sleeping.
Because I had dabbled in the Garmin fitness watches before. Because I have larger wrists. I desired a larger watch, not a piece of jewelry.
Great screen, bigger screen to actually see all that data.
Battery life.
Tough (I’m outdoors a lot, camping, scouting).
I liked the band, Alpine loop.
- Battery life - I want to avoid charging my watch as much as possible as I’m a charging freak
- Better display
- Better durability
- Want to get the “top of the line” as a status symbol
- Futureproof
I have to turn off cellular on my series 7 to complete some of my longer runs in my half marathon training programme. And then I need to charge it to get me through the rest of the day. I need the better battery life.
Not having to charge it daily has made me wear it way more. I have it on all the time. Didn’t even wear my regular watch much.
