I was thinking of doing that, S3 for sleeping/rough stuff, S8 SS for non-rugged daily use. Then I got the Ultra and with the extra battery I just use it all the time, swapping bands. (Ti link for work and “formal”, Alpine for casual, stretchy loop for sleep)

I was going to get a SS model when my S3 broke. Realizing that a SS model was $749 and I was probably going to scratch it up, I thought about the Ultra. I like the look of the Ultra with a Ti band as much as a SS with steel band.
In terms of the features, more durable is always better, and now never worrying about bringing a charger on an overnight is awesome. The other features are cool as well. I kind of see it like a dive watch, even if you only dive with it a few times it’s still a nice accessory to wear.

Extremely happy with the Ultra for this use case.
It charges so ridiculously fast compared to my previous S3. Right now it’s 7am, I have 49% remaining. My watch was last charged to 93% Sunday night at 10pm. If I work out today I’ll charge during my shower after, otherwise I’ll do a quick charge at night before sleeping, it’ll probably take 30 minutes while I’m getting ready for bed and stuff.
