    Im a fan of the apple watch. Have a series 7 myself. Would u recommend the ultra for someone who wears the watch regularly? I’m interested in getting it in the future

      battery life alone made it worth for me, lasts 2 days easily and you can keep it topped up by just letting it charge while showering or something like that

      Unless you’re going to use the extra features provided by an ultra you might as well go for a regular watch.

      Do you need the extra battery/dual GPS/etc, or is it just nice to have? If it’s the latter, stick with the main AW series. The AWU won’t change your life.

      I run marathons, and I rock climb outdoors for hours. I also want to be in the Apple ecosystem. For these reasons, I have an AWU2.

      With my use case, my previous Apple Watch would power out sometime throughout the day. If you’ve never experienced this, you don’t need the Ultra.

      So you use low power mode and don’t track workouts… brother of course you got the best battery life out there but what is the point of posting this? “Look at my amazing battery life of a watch I barely use”

    This is like saying a car that remained off, but had the same tank of gas for 5 years, has the most MPG of any car ever. If you don’t use the watch, why even care how long it lasts? Not like you’re far from a charger in the 2 days it would take to kill it on not low power mode

    What’s up with all the hate on this post. It seemed that the 10 update wore the battery down on the ultra and the guy is posting that the new update is great.

    I was doubting whether to update it or not.

    Thanks for the post

    Whats the point using apple watch in low power mode? Every function which you essentially paid for gets disabled

    If I wanted to use my Apple Watch in low power mode and disable all the features I paid for I’d rather just buy a Garmin. My series 7 with AOD enabled and a 1h workout barely lasts the day (10% remaining usually). If I turn off all the features I can get 2 days battery but as I said then what’s the point?

    Try disable low power mode, enable AOD do some workouts, be active and use your watch throughout the day and I’m pretty sure your ultra will be at around 50%. That’s a more realistic use case.
