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

    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.

    Pretty good. No need for AWU2. Probably will wait for next gen - whatever that is or will be.

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

    Zero regrets - had no interest in the ultra 2

    My original ultra has met and exceeded my expectation since launch.

    Jumped to it from a gifted s7 41mm

    I only bought the 2 because my wife wanted the Ultra as well so I gave her the U1 and for the U2 for myself. It works great for her. We’ve been snorkeling in the pacific and Caribbean with them. I’m currently living in Ecuador and have the altimeter is a nice feature since Quito is at 9k FT.

    Went from Ultra to S9. Realized it was just too big and heavy and I was not utilizing its full capabilities anyway.

    I upgraded from a series 4 and yes for me it’s a game changer. But in hindsight I would have returned it and just gotten the ultra 1 used. The new gesture feature is not that useful, in fact I never have a reason to use it. There’s never been a scenario that I cant interact with the watch and have to use the double tap gesture. It’s quite useless tbh, and limited. I would not upgrade from ultra 1 fur sure

    Still love mine, the whole reason I went with it was for longer battery life life and a more durable watch. Both the battery life and durability have been great. I will upgrade when the battery starts to fade in probably a year or two.
