This is a great watch all around. Its large screen is easily visible and uses every bit of the screen. It Also has great battery life that I tested and got more than 72 hours of use before needing to charge it. As well as providing faces that allow a lot of info to be present while providing cool animations that you don’t get on the other watches. My old Apple Watch I wore a few times and stopped just bc it died within a day and I just didn’t like looking at. I don’t have that issue with the Ultra, I wear it to bed sometimes just to play with it and some of the sleep features that it provides. It’s fun, looks nice, feels of my quality that what you pay for it lasts for days and the screen is bright. I do a lot of hiking and kayaking and it’s features for those hobbies are next level. Only issue is that it automatically dims in lowlight and there is no way to change that. Also, the Alpine loop band feels incredibly generic and is not worth getting. I switched it out for an old band from my 45mm watch bc the bands are the same size. I suggest selecting one of the other two bands offered. 4 stars only bc of the auto dimming feature and the alpine loop band is generic.

Rock solid watch for the price, and I can actually see what I am looking at now vs on the smaller 44mm Apple Watch 5 I had. 2 day battery life, bright 2000 nit screen helps when you’re outside so you can actually see what’s going on the watch, highly recommend for anyone traveling. Used in Europe and the backtracking feature works flawlessly! The quality is top notch, this watch is everything the 42, 44 and 45mm should have been, 10/10 feel and quality!!

I love it excellent product and lives up to its high asking price. Between it’s almost indestructible durability, bigger screen, better battery life and additional functionality it delivers on a better overall Apple Watch experience. A+++++++++++

I LOVE this watch. I have had several Apple Watches, but decided I wanted the Ultra this go around. I am absolutely glad I got it. I’m no professional athlete, but I’m no slouch either. I keep in shape, but it’s not the main reason I got the watch. It really comes down to screen and battery. The brightness of the watch in sunlight is unparalleled, and the battery can easily go a few days between charges. I wasn't a big fan of the Alpine Loop, but it goes great with my Nomad Ultra Orange band. If you’re on the fence, and trying to figure out whether or not to spend the extra money, I’d say go ahead. You’ll kick yourself if you don’t. Especially when you can catch it on sale.

I have had this watch for 45 days and it is way better, with a larger screen, much better battery, great design. It is not as heavy as it looks, feels solid. I didn't like the alpine loop, so I replaced with the ocean band, very nice feel. I am waiting on the trail loop band, it seems that there is not a lot extra bands. I ordered trail loop from Apple 45 day wait! I came from the series 7 45mm.
