Apple Watch Ultra 2 - As a Normal User...

The Apple Watch Ultra has officially been out for a year now and Apple has recently released the new Apple Watch ultra 2. Although the Ultra 2 does have some minor improvements like a faster S9 chip and brighter display, for the most part the user experience on thees watches is very similar. After using the Ultra for a year, I feel like I can tell you if it's actually worth the $799 asking price, or if you should avoid it and buy a Series 9 instead.

I bought my Ultra on launch day. I wear it every day and top off the battery almost daily, just out of habit. Battery health is still at 100% Best watch ever!!

I’m a pipe welder by trade. When I read about the titanium housing and sapphire screen on the Ultra, I knew it would be my next wearable device. I had always found the durability of the non-Ultra watches to be impressive, but I wanted a watch that could potentially last 4-5 years and endure the rigors of my work environment. My new Ultra 2 fits that bill.

While it’s probably more lucrative—and frankly, more glamorous—for Apple to market this lineup to athletes, tradesmen ought to know that there’s now an Apple Watch lineup that will keep up with them on the job site.

I will say this product is AMAZING. I took it off the charger at 1 AM. It is now 1 am TWO DAYS LATER and there is still 13 percent battery left. I have done THREE 40 minute workouts and tracked TWO nights of sleep. The battery life on this product is BEYOND amazing compared to my series 7.

I’ve never had an Apple Watch and I just got the ultra yesterday for my bday. I love it with each passing second. Went on a my first bike ride and I was blown away.

My Ultra 2 is coming in the mail on Friday (didn’t have the OG). As a woman I honestly don’t care how big it looks on my wrist, I want to be able to interact with my watch with ease and see it well (I’m far sighted and it’s getting harder to see things up close as I approach my 30s). Function over form factor for me. If I like how it looks on me and how it functions, I don’t care how it appears to others :)

Got the Ultra 2 2 weeks ago. It’s great. I can’t live without it now

Had an Apple Watch since the series 3. The Ultra is when the Apple Watch really came into its own. I wear it everyday and the bigger display and bigger battery are game changers. Use it constantly throughout the day. I have no need nor any desire for any other type of watch.

I love my Ultra. I can’t imagine wearing anything else at this point, including a lesser regular Apple Watch. I wear the Ultra all the time, including at night for sleep tracking, and never feel any discomfort whatsoever. I’ll also add that the new modular face that comes with WatchOS 10 is the best yet and ticks all the boxes for me. Fantastic watch all around!

Im a 60 year old active woman and getting my Ultra 2 on Friday. I can’t wait to have the larger screen. Im coming from a series 4 GPS/Cellular. My eyes aren’t what they use to be. I do use my watch as my phone many times when my Iphone isn’t near. One feature I am eager to have is the siren. I feel safer with that. Great video! Thank you!

Thumbs up for the DBZ t shirt. You are a man of culture.

I am a normal user and still wearing my Ultra one right after it was released. It is still running like the first day I owned it.

It’s funny they advertise the Ultra as an endurance watch, when in fact it doesn’t preform well in the back country. But for a day to day watch, when you have power and cell service, it’s a fantastic watch. It’s loaded with useful features for the average person to use, and it’s well built. I’m a mechanic and over a year of bumping into other metal objects it’s still scratch free. I got a Garmin Epix pro gen 2 for the back country. Garmin is just a much better watch for endurance sports and back country adventures.

The size is the biggest concern of the ultra. I’m switching back to series 9 SS 45mm. Way more comfortable for day to day.

[scubasteve]

I love my Ultra! I even replaced my Garmin with it and personally I like it better than my Garmin. I also find scuba diving with it super great.

Everytime I see this Watch I hear the Inspector Gadget theme song playing in the background.

I honestly have to admit the battery life on my Apple Watch ultra 2 is better than my experience on the ultra 1. I know it’s not necessarily advertised for that but I’m noticing that before I would average 40 something percent at the end of the day before and over the weekend I haven’t gone below 50.

As a woman, it was just too large for my wrist. I owned it from November to August. Stopped wearing it in March. I went down to the Stainless smaller watches and I have no regret.

[mbingham]

I use one of these for work, I do a manual job and after two years owning the ultra it still looks like new they are super tough and a great bit of useful kit I cant recommend them enough

[erynd]

I just got mine last week and I am absolutely loving this watch! The battery life is incredible, the display can actually be used and you can actually see what’s what. I took the 800.00 dollar plunge and I don’t regret it. Get it!
