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

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, Donna > On Sep 24, 2023, at 1:12 PM, lenron brown wrote:

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

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

Hi Brad, So I will post the same question to you that I wrote about in my first message. The price difference is significant. In my opinion, if I’m going to spend that much more money on a product, I need a good reason to do it. What do you see as being the advantages of the ultra over a

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

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.
