Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS+Cellular) 49mm Titanium Case with Dark Green Alpine Loop - Medium - Black - (2024)

I purchased this after having the apple watch series 5 for some time (4+ years). This is quite the jump from that series (obviously). The overall reason I purchased this one over the series 9 was the durability and rugged style. I am not an extreme athlete or anything, but I do weight train regularly and go mountain biking, indoor rock climbing, hiking, and outdoor running, plus a few other recreational activities. I wanted something that could withstand all of those things, like my series 5 could, and then some. I wanted this to last longer than my previous series 5. I am also an itinerant employee meaning I travel to multiple schools / locations per day and need to be hands free for the safety of the students I work with. So I cannot have my phone in my hands while on the go. So getting notifications on a screen on my wrist was a must which is why I didn't go with a garmin watch or a whoop band which i also used to have. The larger size did make me very hesitant, but I am so thankful for the larger screen! I'm obsessed with it, especially while working. Emails and notifications are much easier to glance at while working. I have fairly small wrists and this watch is not too large or bulky in my opinion. I think any larger would turn me off to the size, but that's just because me wrists and hands are on the thinner side. I thought the size would bother me while weightlifting but it does not. I love it, such a great upgrade.

As an avid user of the Series 3 Apple Watch, transitioning to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 GPS + Cellular has been an absolute game-changer. The 49mm Titanium Case with Blue Alpine Loop (Medium) not only exudes sophistication but also delivers unparalleled functionality. First and foremost, the enhanced functionality of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is immediately noticeable. From seamless navigation to lightning-fast app response times, every interaction with the device feels smoother and more intuitive. The addition of GPS + Cellular capability provides newfound freedom, allowing me to stay connected even when my iPhone is out of reach. Whether it's sending a quick message or streaming music on the go, the convenience of cellular connectivity cannot be overstated. One of the standout features of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is its extended battery life. Coming from the Series 3, where battery anxiety was a constant concern, the Ultra 2's impressive battery longevity has been a revelation. With up to 3 days before needing charging, I no longer find myself constantly reaching for the charger throughout the day. This extended battery life has truly transformed the way I use my Apple Watch, allowing me to stay focused on my activities without worrying about running out of power. In addition to its functionality and battery life, the design of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is simply stunning. The Titanium Case with Blue Alpine Loop complements any outfit, whether I'm at the office or hitting the gym. The combination of durability and elegance makes it a standout accessory that seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle. Overall, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 GPS + Cellular has exceeded all expectations, delivering unmatched performance, style, and convenience. For anyone considering an upgrade from the Series 3, I wholeheartedly recommend making the switch – you won't be disappointed.

Had this watch for several months now and really like it. Battery life and larger screen are fantastic. Swapped out band to Trail Band as I think it’s the most comfortable. But love using this for my workout sessions and basic fitness tracking. Trying it with a case though it’s just a preference and not strict requirement since it’s well built. It’s an awesome watch.
