Seriously, like i must see 20-30 AW per day minimum. I’ve never even encountered one ultra, ever. What do you think the percentages actually are? Why are the percentages so high here? Just surrounded here by AW aficionados or something? It’s begun to feel surreal.

Weirdly I mainly see them on waiters in Los Angeles. Other than that I rarely see them.
I do long hikes and have an AWU, it’s awesome. Had a AW5 prior but was about to ditch for a Garmin until the Ultra was announced. Mostly I still see dinner plate Garmins out there but more frequently AWU’s. They’re gaining popularity. You won’t see them much as they tend to be worn by the more hard core active crowd. Those that can afford them.
I’ve seen 3 since release. My dad, a friend, runner guy at a bar
I never saw AirPods Max in the wild until very recently
I’ve seen two in the wild, in addition to mine. AWU is a big chunky mofo and the smaller cheaper AWs do almost everything AWU does, in smaller and more affordable packages.
This right here couldn’t be more true. Only reason I got the AWU myself is because I’m clumsy and wanted something a little more sturdy
Def happy with the sturdiness of it. No scratches yet and I don’t baby it other than taking off during construction projects (cause it’s too damn bulky)
I picked it up because the GPS is much more accurate on the Ultra than on my old SE. Multi-day battery life is also great for hiking/camping trips. But I agree, for 99% of users the standard AW is fine!
I’ve seen 4 AWU’s this morning already
I’ve only seen one IRL, sitting on a train and using my watch to show my ticket QR code and having the conductor call me fancy for doing it on my S5, while he’s got an Ultra around his wrist. Had a little back and first, was good stuff
haha, yea it depends on a location. Back where I’m from I was very surprised of how many people were wearing AWU in the very early days of it’s launch. I wasn’t expect that. And then I found out that these were Chinese knockoffs on people’s wrists 😂
You’re surrounded by poor people
This is one of the most American brainwashed by capitalism comment I’ve seen in a while. Sorry if you meant it in a sarcastic way… my radar is off recently
actually, the opposite is true. i’m the out-of-place peasant for sure
I mountain bike and I see a lot of them among mountain bikers.
But not on roadies. Think of the added weight!
I ride mtb and road and got one primarily to save weight. Don’t have to carry my phone anymore with LTE on the watch. Half joking on the weight, but I’ve also broken a few phones mtbing so that’s another benefit.
I’m a roadie and I like to keep my jersey pockets free. Easier to get a jacket or something out while riding if you don’t have a phone in there as well.
It’s titanium so it’s still lightweight. The real issue is the aero drag it causes.
Same I like no longer carrying my phone
I see them all the time on people. I’m shocked how many I see.
I’ve seen quite a few in the office.
I see them all the time tbh, I work in IT at a high end company.
It’s too bulky, I’ve put one on, and it looked awful on the wrist. I don’t think I would buy it if I did some outdoorsy stuff, regular aw is fine for that as well, if you worried it gets scratched get a case for the one day a year when you feel outdoorsy. I think I have to gain like 50lbs for it too look decent on my wrist.
I see them a lot. Dads at the playground, fellow triathletes at races. A bunch at the last running race I did - a 10 miler.
