    Looks and acts brand new to me. I trust Apple refurbished items - no scuffs or scratches…battery life great and new apps are a big upgrade from my 44mm 6 series stainless steal. I was hesitant on the size of this screen compared to the titanium 46mm but now that I’m wearing it, smaller face would seem weird. I don’t care for the band that came with it (bad when wet)…will look at others compatible with this model like the sport band on the non-ultras. I wanted a 46mm titanium but dang they are hard to find!

    I love the ultra 2! I’ve had the watch for just about 6 months and the durability is amazing if u are in the military and go out to the field a lot or work outside a lot and are afraid of breaking it like I was just trust, the watch holds up very well. also very comfortable with the new band and no worries of it falling off compared to the older bands it irritated my skin during runs and had fell off in the field which led me to upgrading to this and have no regrets in splurging a little. Also with the new features it goes really well for camping! The battery life of this last me about two days! And fully charges roughly around a hour so u are ready to go when ever! Highly recommend this!

    I upgraded from the series 3 Apple Watch, so my review may not be as useful for many who have a more recent watch. But for me, this was an amazing upgrade. First, just the screen size itself was worth the upgrade. Secondly, this watch takes advantage of everything that the most recent WatchOS has to offer. Thirdly, it is built to last, very rugged. I have no concerns taking it with me on the trails or biking and even swimming. The one concern I had was the size - with my thin wrist would it look stupid? Answer- definitely not. I love the way it looks and the Alpine Trail loop keeps it nice and snug.

    Didn’t Expect To Love The Ultra This Much

    I honestly thourht this watch was a bit extra and not something I would actually like. It looked hig and bulky, but it fits really well and isn’t clunky or heavy like I thought. Pros: the display is incredible. The watch faces are fantastic (I really like seeing the elevation changes for hikes and such). The battery life is great. I typically get 3-4 days on a single charge. The material feels high end and im not worried about it getting scratched. Sending messages, playing music, and listening to podcasts are all so much easier to access. Cons: the raise and speak to Siri doesnt always work consistently, but it is reslly cool to raise your wrist and just say go for a run, no meed for “Hey Siri.” The only problem is when it doesnt work and you raise and lower your wrist multiple times and talk to your watch only to give ip and manually go in and start a workout. Ut, when it works, the feature is awesome. I’m jot a big “watch guy”, but I absolutely love my Ultra because of its connectivity to my phone, apps, and the ability to do quick tasks without the need for my phone. I also just love the amount of soace ln the watch face to include the weather, sunrise/sunset, the date my activity and other quick shortcuts. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is my favorite watch I’ve owned.

    I’ve had an Apple Watch series 4 forseveral years. This watch is a major upgrade. Love the battery life and always on display. Sleep tracking has been informative. The styling of the watch is great. I used to love wearing nice watches in the past and the series 4 took that away from me. This has a much nicer style to it. The larger display is great.

    Have a 165mm wrist size and was worried that the watch would be too big, it is not. Battery life is a nice upgrade from the old Apple 44mm Series 6 although data intensive complications appear to reduce the advertised 36 hour battery life. Night mode is a win as is the ability to display up to 8 complications. If you want the top of the line, this is it!

    I had wanted one of these ever since I saw the first generation. I have had about every Apple Watch prior but this one smokes those! Battery lasts 2-3 days with continuous use (sleeping too) that is no falsehood. It is louder than the previous models, more clear, and definitely more tough. It is well built and I feel that it is made for activities. Most of all, I love the size! It is a prominent piece of jewelry and stands out!

    My second Apple Watch. My first was a regular series 7. One night it helped me by alerting my heart was in AFIB. And I loved may features of that series watch and wore it for 2 years. I’m kind of a wristwatch fanatic and have been since childhood. I’m 67 years old now and have MANY watches in my collection. I decided recently to purchase the newest Apple Ultra Watch and I’m thoroughly happy. I purchase the stainless/titanium cas and love it. The battery last much better than my previous Apple Watch. Go buy one!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

    This Apple Watch stands out as the most impressive I have encountered thus far. Its battery longevity is commendable, providing uninterrupted usage for up to three days. The bands are not only aesthetically pleasing but also exceptionally comfortable for both extended wear and during sleep. The operational smoothness of the applications further enhances the overall user experience. With numerous other features awaiting exploration, I find myself entirely satisfied with this product. My appreciation extends to Apple for delivering such a remarkable device.

    Best Apple Watch Yet!

    I’ve owned many different Apple Watches since preordering the original one back in early 2015. Just before the end of 2023, I purchased my Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I absolutely love it. I upgraded from a Series 7 and I’m impressed by everything. I love the larger screen size. I’m a bigger guy so having a bigger watch is a plus for me. My favorite thing about the Ultra 2 is the battery life. I can go 3-3.5 days without recharging it. My old Apple Watch Series 7 could go maybe 2 days if I was lucky, even when it was brand new. I frequently had to charge it every night. There are a ton of other Ultra specific features that I don’t use regularly but I can see where they would benefit those that explore the great outdoors. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the price of Apple brand bands for the Ultra. I know that bands for the regular newer Apple Watches will fit and there are third party alternatives but I just wish the trail and alpine bands weren’t $100. Maybe like $60-$75 max. You’re already paying $800 in most cases for the Ultra, why not give us a little break on the bands, Apple?

    This was the color i always wanted the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to be in. There isn't anything new but the color just makes it look and feel like a new Apple Watch Ultra to me. If you are active, run, hike, swim, bike and need the extra battery without compromising the smart features than this is the watch for you.

    When my doctor recommended I get an Apple Watch, I started looking and realized that a new one from Apple no longer included the blood oxygen monitor and so I started looking elsewhere. When I used the Best Buy App to search, I found exactly what I was looking for as an open box item available for immediate purchase and at a discount. Win, Win!!! The in store associate was super helpful and answered my many questions with patience and kindness. The service provided assisting me with this important purchase was exceptional and what I always experience with Best Buy. Now that I have my Apple Watch I’m wondering how I ever lived without it! All my concerns of it being too big or too heavy (I have not worn a watch in over 30 years…) were alleviated within minutes of wearing it. So happy I finally joined the Apple Watch lovers crowd!!! Great purchase!

    This watch is the 4th Apple Watch I’ve owned (Gen 2, Gen 4, Gen 6, and now the Ultra 2). Everything I wished prior Apple Watches could do are in this Ultra 2. Better gps tracking, bigger screen face, and a battery that is just amazing for apple devices. I love the fast charge feature that allows me to wear my watch all day AND all night so that u can truly use the sleep tracking features without stressing over not having enough battery to go the next day. The surprising perk for me was the “Hot-Key” that opens my favorite app. There is nothing to complain about and so much to enjoy about this watch. Ok, there is the price..it cost twice the amount of a standard watch and does the work of two watches as well.
