    This is my first Apple Watch. It was quite the purchase, but Best Buy did make it easy. I got a brand new Apple Watch Ultra open box and saved a lot of money by doing so. Honestly, I’m still getting used to it and trying to justify the purchase but that’s just who I am. It’s basically a miniature iPhone on your wrist and it is super convenient. The ultra model is definitely bigger, more robust, and seems to take a hit a lot better than it’s counterparts. If you’re in the market for an Apple Watch and you’re trying to decide whether or not to go big, or go home, I definitely say go big with this one. It has more options and more features. Just looks way more beefy. I recommend it.

    Nice!i Big. Bright beautiful face. I wanted the rubber loop. Ended up with the crappy Velcro band somehow. Already opened & ripped the box. More bells and whistles than series 8. I bought the series 8 first. It is a top notch product. Ran into a table buffer with bristles. A sad moment... I was glad but not happy. One little scratch. Nonreturnable. I'll still check. The whole time I was wondering what about the Ultra... snazzy. Diving, waterproof, titanium. You see more content. All sorts of measurements. It's has GPS, WiFi, 5G, LTE can't wait for more updated software. Yes!i C3N504MV51CK

    As soon as I saw the design of the ultra and the details of what it can do and how it is made of titanium and scratch resistant glass face I knew I had to buy it. It is an excellent watch overall from telling time, many watch face choices, water depth/water temp, compass, altitude, ekg, oxygen level, heart beat…. Etc I could go on and on about what it can do. Only problem I do have is it is not automatically recording my sleep every night and when it does it has times way off or dates. Other than that it’s a great addition to the Apple Watch family and a great buy for anyone that wants an all around reliable watch that does it all. Also even though there are a couple different bands that you get to pick one with your watch don’t stop there grab a few different watch bands too. I always like to color coordinate. I chose the blue watch band.

    I previously owned the garmin fenix sapphire solar 7x.. And this watch is amazing... Battery last 3 days.. (garmin 1 month).. But alot of apps work with this watch, and you are able to leave your phone at home and still receive calls, texts, and notifications... Emergency SOS feature is cool... Water depth is cool! Fall detection is great..the titanium case and super strong glass is pretty much indestructible. Overall best watch I have ever owned.. .. The major deciding factor for me in purchasing this watch is the fact I can put insurance on it with my cell carrier if it's broken /LOST/Stolen...

    Let me start this off by saying that I have a pretty rough job on clothes/equipment. I climb cell phone towers for a living and this watch has held up beautifully. This watch has come into contact and banged up against steel on a regular basis. I have no screen protector or case for this at all. Literally zero scratches on the screen at all, nor any marks,scuffs, or dents on the shell of the watch itself. I have had this for about 2 months now and it’s been put to the test. Recommend this for any tradesmen/tradeswoman looking for something that will last in the field. Battery life is great too. Only have to charge this watch with regular use on tower to answer phone calls/emails all day once every 2 days. Stands up to the elements very well too. Been in heavy rain and snow multiple times in the northeast.

    BEST SMART WATCH (in my humble opinion)

    I love this new Apple watch! So the best things are: the screen/brightness outside, the new watch face, the trail band is comfortable, 2 GPS chips, the speaker/mics are great, and the best thing is the battery lasts anywhere from 48-72 hours (depending on usage). And, I know it is slightly heavier but I truly can not tell the difference. I wear it at night and I have no issues. Highly recommend especially if you are in the Apple Ecosystem. I also got it during a Best Buy sale which made it even better.

    Incredible durability and battery life. I’ve hit it doorways, asphalt, concrete and many other hard things and yet the screen is as good as new. The battery life is such an improvement over other Apple Watches. I usually wear mine for 3 days before I have to charge again!

    I was never a fan of the Apple Watch because I prefer a dive watch look. Until the Ultra 51mm came out the watch was finally big enough to look good on my arm. This watch can do ANYTHING! I highly recommend it.

    The Apple Watch Ultra is living up to my expectations. The larger size screen and battery make for an Apple Watch that can be used for 2-4 days without recharge (low end for full sleep monitoring. My main complaint right now is the band. I wish it was a little bit larger (tight to put on if you have big hands). I already purchased a matching titanium band. The band is extremely lightweight.
