Re: Apple Watch Ultra 2

2023-09-25 Thread Brad Snyder
Hi Donna,

Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
What I am trying to say, is there is no justification for my decision to 
purchase the Watch Ultra.
I purchased the Ultra model because I wanted it, not because I needed it.
The Ultra felt really nice on my wrist, and after years of owning the entry 
level aluminum model, I decided to go with the Ultra model this time.
As I said, when compared with a comparable 45mm stainless steel cellular model, 
the cost to go with the Ultra was not a significant increase in price.
Everyone makes their own buying decisions, and makes those decisions based on 
their individual values.
After owning the Ultra watch for 6 months, I am very happy with my decision to 
get the Ultra, and encourage anyone who is thinking about getting one, to try 
on the Ultra for themselves and make their own decision.
It is understandable that you feel the need to justify the extra expense to go 
with a top of the line watch, and there is nothing wrong with that.
You need to do what is best for you and your individual needs.

- Brad -

Dear Brad,

I apologize if my question put you on the defensive.  That was not my intention.

Though I suppose one’s definition of a significant price difference is 
relative, in my book, $400 constitutes a pretty significant price difference.  
You made the statement that you think one gets what one pays for, which 
suggests that in your opinion the $400 extra has value for the consumer.  So, 
to restate my question, what do you feel makes the additional $400 worth it?  I 
understand that that is somewhat subjective.  The one clear difference I see is 
in battery life.  For me, that is probably not worth $400, but perhaps for you 
it is.  Also, the benefits for athletes are clear, and perhaps you are an 
athlete.

If you bought the Ultra just because you liked it, that’s fine.  But that’s 
different from deciding to spend the extra money because you feel that there is 
a technical advantage to the product.  As I’m sure you are aware, we frequently 
discuss the benefits and disadvantages of different products on this list, so 
with that in mind, I do not think my question was unreasonable.
Best,
Donna

Hi Lenron,

Let us know what you think once you get it.  I totally get the appeal of the 
extra battery life.  I don’t buy the cellular model—or at least I haven’t in 
the past, so for me the price difference is more substantial.  
Cheers,

I am going ultra 2 coming from the 6. I would rather have 36 hours of
battery life over just having 18 if I get the 9. In low power mode you
can get even more time. I would get the Cellular version of the 9 in
45mm and at that point I would already be paying 529, so I might as
well just get the Ultra. I love the bigger watchs so that extra 4 mm

The price difference is not significant.
The Watch Ultra is only about $50 more than a Comparable stainless steel 45mm 
model.
As  I stated in my first post, I tried on the watch Ultra, and liked it so much 
that I bought it on the spot.
I don’t have to justify my decision to purchase the watch to anyone.  I liked

Battery life would be nice.. however I hear the thing is way big on your wrist.

Tibor,

Just wondering why you want an Ultra 2?  They are much more expensive, and 
unless you engage in extreme sports or activities such as mountain climbing, I 
personally don’t see any reason to spend that kind of money.  The Ultra is 
designed to withstand very severe weather conditions.  Unless that’s something 
you need, a series 9 would probably suit you just fine.  It would certainly be 
a nice upgrade from a series 4.

Just my $.02, as one who will never spend the money on an Ultra.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Apple Watch Ultra 2

2023-09-24 Thread Brad Snyder
I have the first generation watch ultra, and like it very much. The second 
generation ultra is identical. The size and bulk of the watch is hardly 
noticeable. When I went to the Apple Store to try it on, I fell in love with it 
immediately and bought it on the spot. Mine came with the midnight blue Ocean 
band, which I didn't care for because the corrugated edges of the band bothered 
my wrist. I replaced it with a midnight blue leather link band that I bought 
from Apple. It makes the Watch look a lot dressier and feels very comfortable.
Sure the price of the watch and replacement band are high, but it's Apple 
quality, and I feel you definitely get what you pay for. If you decide to get 
one, I have no doubt you'll be very pleased with it.
