Apple Watch Ultra 2 GPS + Cellular 49mm Titanium Case with Blue Ocean Band - Silver - (2023)

I'm not a serious techy type (turned 70 years young last month), But this Apple Ultra-2 is my third Apple watch purchase and I am in love with it! It was actually a birthday gift from my wife, son and daughter. While I have an entire collection of some very fine timepieces (Rolex, Tag and the like), nothing is ever on my wrist but my Apple watch, which has been the case since I acquired my very first Series-2. The Ultra-2 is truly in a class all it's own. When I first considered getting an Ultra-2, I was a tad intimidated by its 49mm girth. But I will tell you that once you put it on, you'll never want to take it off. First off, it possess a serious, tank-like build quality while not feeling bulky or heavy on your wrist. The titanium watch housing itself, is tough and strong but light (the beauty of Titanium). This thing is so well constructed. Secondly it features a Safire Crystal that is virtually indestructible, with a watch face that will never scratch, pretty much no matter what the watch face encounters. BTW; this one feature (Safire-Crystal), is the main reason I pursued this watch in the first place, as all of my previous Apple watches were awesome for what they were, but did sustain some scuffs and face scratches over time. Thirdly: Everything and I mean EVERYTHING just operates better on the Ultra-2 when compared to even the series 9 offering from Apple (a serious piece as well for the money). The Ultra-2's Bluetooth system pairs to anything faster and without issue, the phone works significantly better to and features improved volume. Even while on my wrist, with my arm at my side I can always hear my callers voice clearly without straining to make out what is being said, even if your utilizing the internal speaker, in a fairly noisy environment (think supermarket). Moreover, my caller can hear me extremely well when I am talking, again with my arm at my side. Plus, if you're using the phone with earbuds the overall quality of the sound is better than ever from a fidelity standpoint. Just great! 4th-Accessing your music is faster and easier and sounds better as well when using your favorite pair of earbuds. The overall audio fidelity is greatly enhanced! 5th- this may be the most impressive feature of this amazing electronic gizmo for your wrist; the quality of the screen in brightness, clarity and color saturation is, stunning! Even in broad daylight. 6th- Bigger watch means bigger battery and much longer battery life on a single charge as a result. So far, I've only plugged the watch in with some power to spare, every other day. Nice feature as well I know all of this seems to good to be true but remember, this is my third Apple watch and I pay attention to details. The operational differences are more than noteworthy. This thing is a dream! Finally keeping all of this in mind, this watch is drop-dead gorgeous as well. It silly I know, but I cannot stop looking at it! I've only had the watch for 10 days now and cannot tell you how many individuals stop me to inquire about it. I have the orange sport band, with the "California-Analog"-Face. See my pic below. This is just the beginning for me on this watch so I leave you with all of my initial impressions of this incredible piece of tech, with many weeks of learning more and more about it. Trust me here, while this watch is not inexpensive, it will bring you years of dependable, enjoyable service, not to mention joy! Now, get up and drive over to Best Buy and buy this thing! You will not be sorry!

I recently purchased the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and I’m absolutely loving it! As someone who enjoys both running and cycling, this watch has been an incredible asset in tracking my progress and performance. The design is sleek yet rugged, and the larger display is crystal clear, even in bright sunlight. It’s built for durability, which is perfect for my active lifestyle, whether I’m sweating it out on a run or navigating rough terrain on my bike. The fitness tracking features are top-notch. The GPS is accurate, and I love how it tracks my distance, pace, heart rate, and elevation, giving me a comprehensive overview of my workout. The new updates in the Ultra 2 also enhance the accuracy of data during outdoor activities, which has helped me better understand my progress and set new goals. The battery life is another highlight—lasting a full day or more even with constant activity tracking. Plus, the integration with the Fitness app and iPhone is seamless, making it easy to keep tabs on long-term trends and improvements. Overall, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a game-changer for anyone serious about fitness, and I’m so glad I made the investment. Whether you're a runner, cyclist, or someone who just wants a high-quality watch with excellent tracking capabilities, I highly recommend it!

Hands down the best Apple watch I have owned thus far! Battery life, I am pretty active, so being able to go at least 3 days with a single charge is amazing, this includes working out and sleeping with it on as well. If you minimize notifications, you could possible get 4 days before charging. I find the Ultra 2 to be more accurate with GPS and stats like step counts, compared to previous models ( I have had the 8, 6, 5, and 4, 2 models). I noticed a increase in speed and responsiveness when using the Ultra, additionally the colors and brightness are more noticeable. Lastly, size I have a larger hand, so the 49mm finally feels like the perfect size for me, though it is not a thin, it suits me just fine. If you have a smaller hand/wrist, it will definitely look huge. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and highly recommend the Ultra 2, especially in the Black Titanium!

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is an outstanding upgrade for adventure enthusiasts and tech lovers alike. With its rugged titanium case, a larger, brighter display, and enhanced durability, it's built to withstand extreme conditions while offering top-tier performance. The always-on Retina display is clearer than ever, even in direct sunlight, and the new low-power mode extends battery life to 36 hours, making it a reliable companion for extended outings.

I’ve been using the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for almost a year, and overall, it’s an impressive piece of tech. The build quality is fantastic, the display is stunning, and the fitness and health features are top-notch. I feel like I’ve got a powerful mini-computer on my wrist, and most days, I absolutely love it. That said, setting up the cellular function was a major hassle. It took way more time and troubleshooting than I expected, and even now, the connection can be spotty. It's frustrating when you expect the convenience of leaving your phone behind, only to find the watch struggling to connect. Another issue is the battery life. When I first got it, it was amazing. I could easily go a couple of days without needing to charge it, even with moderate use. But less than a year later, I’m noticing it drains much faster. Now, I have to top it off almost every day, which is disappointing for something that was once a major selling point. All in all, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is still a fantastic smartwatch, but it's not without its flaws. If Apple could improve the cellular setup process and make the battery life more consistent over time, it would be near-perfect. As it stands, I’d still recommend it—but with a few caveats.

The Apple Watch Ultra has become an essential companion for me, combining top-notch health features with a sleek design. Its durability and long battery life keep up with my active lifestyle, and the crisp Retina display ensures I never miss a beat. It's more than just a watch; it's my go-to gadget for wellness and connectivity.

Absolutely love the apple watch ultra 2 , i upgraded from a series 3 which i still used for my workouts but the battery life is incomparable to the ultra and all the extra features like the double tap and water depth features are cool , i use it all day and track my workout with it and still shows 90 percent of battery life. The size is the biggest its ever been but not bulky in my opinion and i have small wrists for a man unfortunately lol, i went with the ocean band and i love it. the price is pretty hefty but worth it , i cant think of anything i dislike about this watch .
