I basically wear g-shocks exclusively, unless I’m dressing up, so I don’t like small watches. I’ve always hated the small and almost feminine look of Apple watches until now. Now the price point is probably the only set back on this thing but it definitely feels like a better quality watch than any other series I’ve seen. My girlfriend just bought the new series 8 and that thing feels cheap to me.
The large face on the ultra actually makes it possible for me to use it and the battery life is great. I had this thing on for 12 hours the first day and my battery was at 74% when I took it off (straight out of the box, never charged). The action button is a neat add-on and the white ocean band seems to be top-notch quality. It is very secure on your wrist and that’s good for me because I don’t like when a watch is constant sliding around while your doing stuff throughout the day. It’s also comfortable, so snagging your arm hairs or anything and I went to the gym with no issues whatsoever.
If you are super outdoorsy, I would definitely recommend looking at Garmin before buying this. Garmin battery life is usually at least a few weeks on a single charge with very similar features. For an extra $100, going Garmin will get you a very comparable device with like 28+ days of battery per charge and also offer solar charging. I only went with Apple for the flawless compatibility between the devices and maybe for a little extra flash. If you’re looking for a hardcore rugged lifestyle watch, Garmin is probably the better brand for you. The Apple Watch Ultra is very robust for an Apple product but I wouldn’t recommend spending the money if $799 is going to be a stretch for you. Side by side with the series 8, there’s not really $400ish in differences, more build-quality than anything else. I only did it because I had a device to trade in and a $100 gift card, otherwise I just don’t know if I would have pulled the trigger. Overall, very solid product and I don’t have any legitimate complaints thus far.

What a great upgrade from Series 6. Larger brighter screen and all day battery life. Much preferred the normal band which thankfully is a direct fit.

I have had this watch for about three weeks. Bought it in time for our family vacation. Second week of having the Apple Ultra watch I used it at Yosemite. Great for navigating direction, setting location waypoints, seeing elevation, tracking of hiking and walking with ability to track distance and number of steps, etc. Love, love, love this watch! Love the larger 49mm size, the quality, the weight of it, and more. I chose the Midnight Ocean navy color band, and also purchased a separate band in the color white. The Ultra watch is cool looking and the bands are easy to change from one to the other. Also love the ‘always on’ feature. I could go on and on about it. Buy it, youll love it!

I purchased the Apple Watch Ultra and it has truly transformed the way I approach my daily life. From fitness tracking to seamless integration with my iPhone, this smartwatch has exceeded all my expectations. Thank you Best Buy for the excellent offer.
The fitness features are exceptional. The accurate heart rate monitor, GPS tracking, and a wide range of workout options make it an invaluable companion for anyone striving to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The activity rings provide a motivational boost, encouraging me to stay active and achieve my fitness goals.

Best Apple Watch so far, battery life at least 2 days. Larger screen. It’s a big watch but it’s comfortable, I got it with the blue ocean band which is nice. It is pricey but for me it was worth it.

I've had this watch a couple of months now and the battery life is amazing. Easily get two days out of it by using it regularly with multiple alarms and logging workouts daily. Everything else functions like a regular Apple Watch. I feel that the best feature is how fast it charges up. When used with a 18 or 20 watt charger it charges fast. If I'm down to 20%-30% I just pop it on the charger while I take a shower and it's back up to 80%-90% when I'm done. Using different watch bands really change the look of the watch too. It can go from sporty to formal. Some might complain about the size of the watch but to me it's perfect. I also use it as a sleep tracker and it has never bothered me.

Great build quality with the titanium case and the sapphire crystal. The functionality is better than my old Apple 6 watch. Setup was easy and existing apps transferred without difficulty. My Tidal misic streaming app works MUCH better with the Ultra than my old Apple 6 watch. I use the watch at the gym for workouts, swimming, streaming music and communication. I did order a crystal cover despite the sapphire crystal because I’m tough on watches. Overall, this was great purchase and seeing the Ultra in person at Best Buy helped me make the purchase decision.

I am upgrading from a 4 year old Apple Watch. Much smaller. This new Ultra is a nice size and heavier watch, it doesn’t feel like a toy. The screen is great. The flashlight is much appreciated and pretty bright in the dark. I use it for cycling and it already knows when I start my ride and if I forget to set it up it tracks my ride anyway. The speaker is louder so much nicer to talk on phone. The text options are manageable. The older watch series 5 I think was so small the screen wasn’t really usable for anything but looking at and scrolling through screens. One face has night face do it’s red I love that. I also love how easy it is to configure so only the information I need is on my watch face. The band is heavy duty and fits securely. It’s beefy and should last the life of the watch. There are plenty of features I haven’t explored yet and some I’ll never use like most tech today there’s some overkill. I looked at the Garmin Fenix 7 which is a beautiful watch. Much better battery life. The Apple Ultra lasts all day no problem it may last most of second day but that’s about it. You will need to charge it daily. The Garmin which is huge much larger watch will last a week or more without a charge. So if hiking in the back country is your thing you’ll need a solar charger but I’d get the Garmin, 100$ more but worth the look for sure! Overall I’m locked into Appleverse so it’s the watch for me. If you’re considering an upgrade from an older series go for the $$$ and get the Ultra you won’t regret it!

These Apple Watches are so beyond capable, for the most part you could go without your phone because it will do most things your phone can do.
Ultra has great battery life and can go up to three days of no charging if not used excessively. Loudspeaker is nice and loud when receiving quick calls. Awesome little machine that I’m sure will last me for years. I’ve already used it since the beginning of the year and it is very reliable. Great buy!

My wrists are small and the watch fits my needs perfectly. It gives me all the information I need at a flick of the wrist. I didn’t pay for cellular although it is ready for a plan which can be started at any time. My phone is always with me so I didn’t really see the need to pay for a separate plan.
The display is beautiful and exceptionally clear. The larger screen makes displayed information easy to see. Features are great and now it’s hard to imagine being without my ultra.

I really love it!! I give it a 100 starts!!
It feels good on the wrist. It's comfortable enough that I can still wear it at the computer while typing away - which is a benefit over some of my heavier watches where I find I do tend to take them off while typing. While I typically don't like wearing fitness trackers while I sleep, I have worn the Ultra to bed a handful of times now and had no issues sleeping through the night with it on my wrist.

I upgraded from a Apple Watch Series 4 and the battery life is incredible! The screen is easier to see with my aging eyes, the features are a lot better and in my opinion this is the best watch Apple has made to date. I’m not crazy for the straps, I wish the colors had more options but that is my only issue, if you would call that an issue. But this watch for the incredible features and the awesome battery life, you won’t be disappointed.
