I love the ultra, but I definitely use it. I do long distance running in addition to standard normal exercises, I use it as a backup dive computer when doing recreational diving, I do long hikes that are often off grid.
The biggest thing I like is the extended battery life, on the other watches it could be a bit touch and go if it would fully make it through a long run without making the gps less accurate or something like that.
But other benefits are the titanium and sapphire, my series 8 was scratched up within a few months from just normal bumps, the ultra still looks great 6 months later and this thing has seen some shit.
Make the call that’s right for you and you can afford. If you have 1k in the fuckit category and want it, then get it. The better battery life is really nice even if you aren’t using it to run 30 miles. If it puts you in a worse financial spot or is a stretch I would get a less expensive one.
