The watch has been a good investment so far and a good upgrade from my previous

I really like the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The screen is big and very bright, so it’s easy to see. The battery lasts much longer than my previous Apple Watch. It feels strong and premium, and the health and fitness features work very well. It is a bit expensive, but overall it’s a great watch and worth it.

This is my first Apple Watch and I haven't been very impressed, and honestly regret this a bit. I'm treating it as a stand-in for a phone upgrade for 3+ years, so this will last me that entire time (absent mechanical issues), so it helps take the sting out.
With that being said, the device isn't bad, it's just... Apple's software issues are abysmal and they're getting worse by the year. I am an Apple person, and am writing this on a Macbook, and aside from PC Gaming, have been using Apple devices exclusively for a decade for most computing purposes. The quality control at Apple over the last few years has been terrible.
Frequently, my watch will not do things it's supposed to do. People will text me, and it's 50/50 whether it reaches me. People call me, I answer on the watch, but for some reason the call is picked up on my LOCKED phone instead. There are times where I put the alarm clock to 'Snooze' and it decides to turn off entirely. There are times when the alarm clock vibration doesn't go off, but the sound does... But it's sound from these tiny speakers that could be missed if you wear ear-plugs to sleep (me).
Frequently, I ask Siri to do something and it just doesn't work. The reminders app is a buggy mess. Every app I've liked so far has been from another publisher. The flashlight app on the watch dims itself when facing away from me for no apparent reason... What's the point of a flashlight app that dims itself?
In my use case, getting the Apple Watch Ultra 3 was a bit overkill, but I would have had the same experience on the Series watches too. I think if Apple had the same standards they had back when people like me didn't exist, and just gobbled anything they release up, this would be a freakin' amazing device. It's got soooo much potential, and I honestly do find myself using it often for various things. However, Apple as a software company is just losing it lately. I plan to wear out all of my Apple devices over the next decade, as long as they last, but I'm not sure what the future holds here for this company or my willingness to buy their products.

Have had the product about a month now. I do construction so I also picked up a fully protective case. It’s been very convenient as far as taking phone calls, texts, tracking steps, and starting my vehicle. Fully customizable and lots of different features. Awesome product so far!

Love my Ultra 2: bright screen, 36hr battery, spot-on GPS, Action Button rocks. Tough, comfy, life-saving alerts. Worth every dollar I spent. Bestbuy Rock!
