Apple Watch Ultra
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- There's not a single visible scratch on the screen of my almost-three-year-old Ultra
- when upgraded to the 7 and Ultra (Apple Watches), I never turned it off.
- Go for Ultra if you're considering that price point...
- I do wish it was flat like the ultra though
- My ULTRA OG does everything a $10,000 divers watch does and more at an almost $1000 price tag. IMO, that’s fkin CLASS!!
Cons
- You do get almost twice the battery life, but the S11 charges faster (0-80% in 30 minutes vs 45) and for most people 24 hours is plenty. ... Also worth noting that the Ultra is about 2x as heavy, 24% thicker, and has a 50% larger volume...
- I’ve got ultra, while I think crown to the wrist is easier to navigate, I had to change because I’ve kept turning siren when doing mechanical work with gloves
- cellular only hits hard on any apple watch, even the ultra
- Ultra has that right but I’m not particularly fond of that thing on the right that sticks out.
- The Ultra was much heavier / I found it distracting to run with and wear in general, vs the Series line which kinda dissapears on my wrist also for EVERYTHING I use a Apple watch for, it added nothing my Series 7 does not already do

Also worth noting that the Ultra is about 2x as heavy, 24% thicker, and has a 50% larger volume on your wrist vs S11, so it won't be as comfortable for sleep tracking.

I upgraded my watch too but I’m a little disappointed as I was expecting my ultra to be much faster than it was .
my Apple Watch Ultra can't do that and wondered if people actually use this feature
Unfortunately I think the Ultras are going to be way too big for my wrist. I also know I wouldn’t utilize all of the features…
