I had been waiting for the potential Apple Watch 3, but my series 6 was on its last leg and after Best Buy had an offer for $150 and additional $25 reward cards per $260 on Apple products spent, I knew it was the right time to upgrade.
When I first skipped it on, having a 44mm before, the size was overwhelming. After an hour or two, it became attached to me and felt flawless. Having not only a brand new watch, but something this rugged and also long lasting(battery honestly can nearly last 3 full days), I knew it was time and I don’t regret buying the bullet. The black design is sleek and looks great with anything. Cannot recommend it enough.

Loving this watch so far! Much more rugged and durable than my last watch (Series 7). You can also tell a difference in the brightness, as well as the screen size which are both pluses for me! I actually use the action button much more than I thought I would, since it makes pausing and resuming my workout much easier when I am sweating and may have a harder time using the touch screen. I also enjoy the longer battery life, even when using the always on display, it lasts much longer and charges incredibly fast. Although it is at a ridiculous price point, I can't say I don't love the upgrade.

The Apple Watch is sleek, comfortable, and highly functional. It integrates seamlessly with the iPhone, making calls, messages, and Apple Pay super convenient. Health and fitness tracking is excellent, with heart rate, ECG, and workout metrics.
Stylish design & easy to use
Great health features
Battery life could be better
Overall: A must-have for iPhone users who want style, convenience, and powerful health tracking in one device.

Used this for a few months and honestly—it’s amazing. Super durable, crazy-bright screen, and battery lasts 2–3 days easy. GPS is insanely accurate, and it’s built for outdoor adventures, diving, hiking, you name it.
That said… it’s way more than I need. I don’t do extreme sports or dive—I just wanted a good smartwatch, and this one’s overkill for my lifestyle.
Still in excellent condition. Hoping it goes to someone who’ll really use what it can do!

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is an absolute powerhouse. Built with rugged durability and premium design, it feels both tough and luxurious on the wrist. The 49mm titanium case looks fantastic and can handle outdoor elements with ease—whether I'm hiking, swimming, or biking, this watch keeps up without a problem.
The battery life is phenomenal compared to other Apple Watches. I’m getting nearly 2 full days on a single charge, even with GPS and workouts running. The new S9 chip makes everything lightning fast, and the display is the brightest ever—super clear in direct sunlight.
What truly sets it apart is its precision dual-frequency GPS and Depth and Compass apps—they make outdoor adventures far more confident and safe. Plus, the Action button is a small but genius addition—it lets me start workouts or mark waypoints instantly.
It’s not just a smartwatch—it’s a performance tool built for extremes. If you're serious about fitness, adventure, or just want the best Apple Watch ever made, Ultra 2 is worth every penny.

“ The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is hands down the best smartwatch I’ve owned. The display is super bright, the battery lasts way longer than my previous model, and it feels strong yet comfortable for everyday use. GPS and health tracking are incredibly accurate, and it pairs seamlessly with my iPhone.
I was also really impressed with Best Buy’s service – fast shipping, secure packaging, and smooth checkout. Their customer support was very helpful, making the whole buying experience easy and stress-free. Couldn’t be happier with both the watch and Best Buy!”
Highly recommended!!

I’ve had the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for a while now, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. Right from the unboxing, it feels premium with its titanium body, yet it’s surprisingly lightweight on my wrist. The display is incredibly bright and sharp, which is perfect for outdoor use – even in bright sunlight. I’ve used it on several runs and hikes, and the GPS accuracy is spot-on, making it a great companion for tracking outdoor activities.
The battery life has also been impressive. Even with GPS and fitness tracking turned on, I’m getting more than a full day’s use without needing to charge it. The new health features, like the improved heart rate monitor and temperature sensing, have been really insightful, especially for tracking my sleep and overall wellness.
I also love how durable it feels. I’ve bumped it against things a few times, but the sapphire crystal screen has held up without a scratch. The watch’s software is smooth and easy to navigate, with plenty of apps and features to keep me connected, even when I leave my phone behind.
Overall, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is packed with features and is a perfect blend of functionality, durability, and style. Whether I’m working out or going about my day, it’s become a seamless part of my routine.

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!

I am in love with this watch. I just wish it wasn't so darn expensive. It is meant for iPhone users 100%. Connects seamlessly, battery life is great, plays apple music pretty well (I will say multiple apps being open and playing through data versus wifi drains the battery and is slower). Very sturdy, the wrist strap that comes with it is freaking awesome and durable. I can't seem to sweat through it no matter how hard I try. I am getting my money's worth that much I can promise you will too.

I’ve been using the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for a few weeks now, and it’s hands-down the most complete smartwatch I’ve ever owned.
First off, the build quality is insane. The titanium case feels ultra-durable but lightweight, and the bright, always-on display is crystal clear even in direct sunlight. The action button is a smart addition — I use it during workouts and hikes, and it’s become second nature.
Battery life is a huge win. I easily get 2–3 days on a single charge, even with workouts, GPS, and notifications going. No more stressing about daily charging like with older models.
The fitness and health tracking is next-level. Whether I’m weight training, doing cardio, or diving into a trail run, it tracks everything with extreme accuracy. Plus, the updated double-tap gesture and new WatchOS features make everyday use feel seamless and futuristic.
And although it’s designed for the outdoors and athletes, it’s just as comfortable wearing it to work, dinner, or travel. It’s stylish enough to go anywhere.
If you want top-tier performance, durability, and smart features all in one watch, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is worth every dollar. It’s not just a tech gadget — it’s a tool that keeps up with everything I do.

I will give an awesome 5 on this watch.
I loved the battery life that will take days on a battery low which helps me as an educator.
I also loved the features where you can use for health reasons. Lastly, it is durable. Thank you Apple for this amazing item.

Big upgrade from my series 6 Apple Watch. Appreciate the durability and connectivity it provides on my MTB adventure's. Sorry not a whole ton of comparison to my previous Apple Watch. I am still yet to unlock all of the many differences. The only thing I did not care for is the band it came with. As durable and robust as it appears. The band does not allow your wrist to breathe. After a long ride in the Sedona trails. My wrist was fairly irritated from the band rubbing. I’m a fan of the perforated silicone Nike sport bands and appreciate that I was still able to use my existing band on the Ultra 2.
Hopefully the next series of Ultra silicon wrist bands with offer a bit more ventilation.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is impressive. Its super bright display, long battery life, and features designed for extreme athletes really make it stand out. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re into adventure or want the best wrist tech out there, this model is definitely worth it. The price is high, but it feels justified for everything it offers.

Bright 3,000‑nit display, ultra‑precise GPS, rugged yet light titanium build—ideal for adventure. Battery lasts 2–3 days easily. On‑device Siri, double‑tap control, and eco‑friendly design impress. UWB precision finding and advanced health features seal the deal.
This thing is a beast
