Customer Ratings & Reviews

The watch is excellent. This is my first time coming to the Apple ecosystem from Garmin. Buying it from BestBuy was the ideal choice. Excellent customer service. Pros: - Smart features are awesome and fun to use - Ultra 2 battery seems to be better than other Apple watches - I love the size and screen brightness Cons - Compared to Garmin, Apple sucks at providing small challenges/badges for explicit motivation - The band sometimes leaves streak on my hand

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 offers a great blend of style, functionality, and durability. Here are some pros and cons based on real-user experiences: Pros • Accurate GPS Tracking: The Apple Watch Ultra 2 boasts impressive GPS accuracy, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes.¹ • User-Friendly Interface: The watch features an intuitive interface, making it easy to navigate and use, even for those new to smartwatches. • Durable Design: The 49mm titanium casing and durable display ensure the watch can withstand rough handling and harsh environments. • Long Battery Life: While not the longest-lasting, the watch's battery life is still impressive, with up to 36 hours of normal use and up to 72 hours in Low Power Mode. • Action Button: The built-in Action button provides quick access to frequently used features. Cons • Short Battery Life with GPS: The watch's battery life takes a hit when using GPS, lasting only around 12 hours. • Limited Upgrade from Ultra 1: If you already own the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra, you might not find enough significant upgrades to warrant a purchase. • No Major Design Changes: The Ultra 2's design remains largely unchanged from its predecessor. • Expensive: The Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes with a hefty price tag, making it less accessible to budget-conscious buyers.

I bought this because my Apple Watch 7 was not holding its charge. This watch is outstanding. The battery is much better and the 49mm face improves my ability to see things. It is very easy to use and was easy to setup keeping all my apps. I didn't really want cellular and you don't have to use it, but the rest of the functions are outstanding, including a great golf app - GolfShotGPS - that works really well on this watch.

I had the series 8 Apple Watch 45mm and wanted a new watch. I wear contacts so I can’t always see and wanted a larger Apple Watch. I’d say if you like bigger this is the best purchase! If you just want a watch and size doesn’t matter, go for a cheaper option. I just purchased this today an I’m very happy about it.

I upgraded from my Nike Apple Watch 7 and it was definitely worth the upgrade. Better battery life, more features, bigger screen and more durable for everyday life! It's been 3 days and I still haven't charged it yet. 800 is steep but I don't regret my purchase. Also don't forget Best Buy as a trade in program for items you may be ready to trade in or upgrade to take something off the retail price. With trade ins my watch was 694.

I recently bought the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at Best Buy, and honestly, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made lately! The watch is simply amazing — a durable yet stylish design, a very bright display, and lightning-fast response. The sensors are incredibly accurate, especially the blood oxygen level feature and the advanced workout tracking. The battery life is also impressive — it easily lasts two full days with active use. I especially want to praise the Best Buy staff — they truly know their stuff! They helped me choose the right model, explained everything in detail, and were very polite and patient. They even helped set up the watch right in the store, so I walked out with a fully ready-to-use device. Huge thanks to Best Buy for the excellent service and quality product! I highly recommend both the watch and the store!

Its fitness tracking capabilities are top-notch, with Precision GPS ensuring accurate route tracking, even in challenging environments. The action button adds a convenient way to quickly access features, especially during workouts or outdoor activities. One of the best features is the extra-long battery life, which easily lasts through long hikes or busy days without needing constant recharging.

I've been using the Apple Watch for a few weeks now, and I honestly can't imagine my day without it. From fitness tracking to staying connected without constantly grabbing my phone, it does everything I need and more. The design is sleek, the display is super clear (even in bright sunlight), and the battery life has been surprisingly solid. I especially love the fitness and health features—tracking workouts, heart rate, and even sleep. It keeps me accountable and motivated. Getting calls, texts, and calendar reminders on my wrist is also super convenient. Setup was quick, and syncing with my iPhone was seamless. If you're on the fence, just go for it. Whether you're a fitness buff or just want to stay more organized, the Apple Watch is worth every penny.

Love the Apple Watch Ultra 2 so far. The screen is super bright and easy to read outside, and the battery lasts me close to two days, which is way better than past models. It feels a little big on the wrist and it’s not cheap, but the new health features and safety options (like satellite SOS) make it worth it if you’re active or outdoors a lot.

This watch is absolutely worth it! The screen is incredibly bright and easy to read outdoors, and I consistently get 2 full days of battery life. The new Double Tap feature works better than I expected, and Siri responds much faster now. For fitness tracking, it's perfect, and it handles everything from running to swimming without issues. The titanium case feels premium and durable enough for daily wear. I also love the new color and haven’t had any issues with scratches. The only downside is the price, especially if you already own the first Ultra model. But if you're looking for the best smartwatch available, though I’d advise waiting for the next Apple Sales Event to save on it as I did.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is rugged, powerful, and packed with features like a super-bright display, long battery life, and advanced health tracking. It’s big and pricey, but perfect for outdoor and everyday use. The navy blue band looks stunning — stylish, versatile, and a perfect match for the titanium case.

Amazing! Love the screen size, features and functionality. Excellent choice!

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is hands down the most impressive smartwatch I’ve ever used. Apple has managed to blend rugged durability with premium design and cutting-edge performance in a way that no other smartwatch comes close to. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an everyday watch that tou can use no matter the task.

This was my first time buying a refurbished product, so I’ll admit—I was cautiously hopeful. I’d read mixed things online, but the price was worth the shot. Once I opened the box, any doubts I had disappeared. The watch looked and felt completely brand new. No scratches, no wear—just a flawless display and a pristine case. Battery life is solid, all features work exactly as they should,

Only 1 real complaint with this watch - its price. I hate giving Tim Cook my business. Apple has become everything Steve Jobs hated. I stopped buying iMacs or iPads but the iPhone and watch are still the best in their field and I need these items to work without glitches, which they mostly do. I switched out the band on the watch because it’s a bit uncomfortable for my thin wrists. Otherwise it works flawlessly and I like the bigger screen since I started needing bifocals.

I had this watch since December and I love it works perfectly was in great condition and the price was in the right range I was looking for

Decided to purchase the new Apple Watch Ultra 2 after seeing the Apple Event. I already had an Apple Watch 7 that I had recently purchased, and what drew me to this one was mainly the battery life. The watch itself if obviously bigger, 49mm is good for me since I have fat fingers, but I also bought a Spigen Tough Armor case for it, so it makes it look even more bulky. Not a dealbreaker for me, but may be for others. I'm also using an aftermarket band, Spigen brand too, as I like to keep my original bands for resale. The watch does what any of the recently Apple Watch does, but it is brighter, faster, and has almost 3 days of battery life. I'm not an extremely active person, but more of a casual wearer, so I get about 3 days compared to maybe 1.5 days for those adventurers out there. Overall, great choice for me since I dreaded charging my watch every morning. It may be hard to justify the price for a casual wearer, this was more of a treat for myself

Bought this because Best Buy had it on sale compared to the main Apple website or going through AT&T and the cost of the Ultra 3. ($300 more). I upgraded from a Watch SE so this definitely has more metrics, though a bit heavier. I'm probably not the best person for the review as I still just use it to measure my workouts etc. The battery life is significantly better, and the action button lets you go directly to the exercise options. I think I've used to EKG/ECG thing once so it's not a big deal for me. I do like that this larger screen I have the option of a keyboard for responding to texts w/o using voice dictation (I'm old). I will say if buying an unlocked version and adding it to a pre-existing phone account (I'm ATT/Firstnet and "upgraded" my watch"), make sure your cellular provider adds the IMEI# and the ICCID# when adding to your account. At no fault of Best Buy, it took 10 days to get the cellular service activated because both Serial numbers were not added correctly. Overall, I think it's worth it compared to the extra $300 for an Ultra 3.
