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.
Battery. But honestly I’m having second thoughts as I still prefer the Garmin I was wearing before I bought the UW.
Battery life.
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.
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.
Battery, screen size and the night mode were my main points. These were all things that stopped me from buying an Apple Watch earlier.
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.
For me it was the breadcrumb feature, hiking capabilities, especially with no cellular service anywhere in some parks/forest, precision for biking, i do plan to get a dive certification as my brother in law does it and used it for diving in Australia using the app that apple promoted and he replaced his old school dive watch and loves his ultra. I feel like most people are buying it for stupid reasons like or they want to look cool
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.
When it comes to Apple my attitude is if I’m going to buy their stuff I might as well get the best one
Looks. If the reg size Apple Watch came in brushed steel or titanium I’d go for it. I don’t like the polished appearance
Battery life.
I haven’t bought an Ultra, but it’s not very expensive compared to a 45 mm stainless S9: $749 vs $799.
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.
