A Great Watch with a Few Frustrations

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.

I’m very happy with this purchase. The watch is lightweight, comfortable to wear all day, and the display is clear and bright. Battery life easily lasts more than a day with normal use, and the band feels durable and secure. Setup was quick and it pairs smoothly with my phone. Overall, excellent quality and definitely worth the price. Highly recommended!

I've been wearing the Ultra 2 for a month now, and honestly, the battery life is the biggest win. Not having to worry about charging it every single night is a total game-changer compared to the standard Series watches. It is definitely a bit bulky, so it might feel like a tank on your wrist if you’re used to something slimmer, but the screen is incredibly bright and easy to read even in direct sunlight.

Hands down best Apple Watch I’ve had my hands on, everything from the always on display to night mode and extremely long battery life. The display is as good as my iPhone and all sounds and haptics feel and sound really nice, overall 9.9 out of 10 just cause u wish they had another color but the orange ocean band looks and feels really clean!

I love new this ultra 2. I upgraded from the Apple Watch Series 7. The always on display is beautiful and the all black design takes it to another level. It more than just an Apple Watch, it’s an Ultra Apple Watch. Highly recommended for athletes and military people like myself.

Best smart watch I’ve had so far. Definitely an improvement from my fitbits and Apple Watches 3 and 6. The bigger brighter screens makes it so much easier to read. Wish it was a little lighter or even have only a wifi version since I always carry my phone around. Overall I like the look and the options it has.

I’m very happy with my Apple Watch Ultra 2. The design feels strong and premium, and the screen is extremely bright and clear. Battery life is excellent and easily lasts more than a full day with regular use.
It works perfectly with my iPhone and the performance is fast and smooth. The watch is a bit large, but the bigger display is actually a plus. Overall, a great purchase and I would definitely recommend it.

I LOVE THIS WATCH.I LOVE THE BIGGER SIZE. IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE.LOVE ALL THE DIFFERENT FEATURES SINCE I AM INVOLVED WITH ALOT OF ACTIVITIES. THIS IS MY GO TO WATCH FROM NOW ON. THE ONLY THING I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT IS THE LOW LIGHT FEATURE THAT TURNS THE WATCH FACE RED, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO EITHER TURN THAT OFF OR BE ABLE TO ADJUST IT. EVER SINCE I HAD EYE LASER SURGERY RED IS HARD ON MY EYES. BUT I CAN LIVE WITH IT.

I love the new Ultra 2 Apple Watch because it has a much bigger screen, the battery life is amazing, and it’s comfortable to wear. The bigger screen helps me to focus on the time or notifications that display clearly onscreen since having eye surgery. This is literally the best purchase I’ve made in the Apple Watch line. I love the new lock in place band feature but need to invest in an extra large band for more room.

The best smartwatch ever made. Battery have long term duration, glass and metal frame very scratch resistant. The only negative point in my opinion is the model of the bracelet I chose, which was difficult to put on and take off my wrist, several times the watch almost fell to the ground when I was taking it off or putting it on my wrist to charge. I will soon buy another more practical bracelet model

Stress free shopping experience

My Hubbie and I recently picked up an Apple Ultra Watch for him from the Best Buy store in Apex, and the whole experience was good from start to finish. As soon as we walked, we were helped by a salesperson who really knew his stuff. He took the time to answer every question we had, explained the features of the different watche models, went in to buy the Series 10 on special and walked out with the Ultra which was also on special. What stood out most was how easy and stress-free the process felt — no pressure, no hassle, just straightforward and helpful service. The checkout was quick and smooth, and my Hubbie left the store feeling confident and excited about our new watch. Overall, it was one of the easiest and most pleasant shopping experiences we’ve had, and we’ll definitely be coming back to this location in the future.

This watch does everything! Tracks heart health and sleep patterns, take phones calls and GPS. It even makes a sound when you have a turn coming up. I am an area manager for a company and I cover over 400 customers, so I do a lot of driving and this watch is perfect for me in this occupation. All of the features are really useful and very cool.

A Gem of Technology: Apple Ultra Watch 2 - A Worth

As someone who appreciates the finer things in life, I was initially hesitant about the Apple Ultra Watch 2, mainly due to its price point. But now, after extensive use, I can confidently say it's worth every penny.What struck me most is the watch's incredible lightness - it's so comfortable that I often forget I'm wearing it, even when sleeping. This comfort doesn't come at the cost of features; the watch is packed with them, striking a perfect balance between luxury and utility.Additionally, its compatibility with Best Buy's Total Tech offers a seamless and worry-free experience, ensuring that my investment is protected with AppleCare Plus for two years. It's a rare find where you get more than what you pay for, especially in a market flooded with overpriced options that offer less.In conclusion, for those on the fence about the price, consider this: the Apple Ultra Watch 2 isn't just a watch, it's a statement - a testament to what modern technology can achieve when cost isn't the sole deciding factor. It's an investment in quality, convenience, and peace of mind, especially when paired with Best Buy's comprehensive support.
