I think he’s being a bit short sighted regarding the Ultra’s appeal. Ok it’s primarily targeted towards extreme sports participants but there are plenty of people who would welcome a rugged watch for their profession such as construction, farming, forestry etc. who would appreciate it and rarely attend formal events requiring a buttoned shirt cuff etc. I can see Apple launching a smaller version if it’s successful for those with smaller wrists in the future.

Apple knows this even if the reviewer is calling it a niche' product. They made a watch with features that are useful on a daily basis while still touting some great sports features. While it would be a small "niche" if only extreme sports enthusiasts buy it, I expect it to go far beyond this "niche" because there is a huge market that would benefit from the battery and some of the other features (better bluetooth, bigger brighter screen, better mics and speakers, better waterproofing, etc...). Also, I expect the more rugged casing alone will appeal to a lot of people.

I agree, I mess with the design. I was skeptical on the size but it grew on me. I love that industrial, raw feel the watch gives.

I think the longer battery life and the louder speaker make the Ultra attractive to many who like to have a ready wrist phone and who may have another need for GPS (a battery user) like tracking the distance of the next golf shot. Should I go to a formal event, I’d use my pocketed iPhone.

As a photographer that can be outdoors for 12 hours or more this ultra is sounding very tempting, plus on Amazon you can pay monthly at only £160 a month for 5 months. I’m thinking of getting one to replace my series 6

I'd love to see a comparison between an Apple Watch Ultra and one of Garmin Fenix watches. I use a Fenix 7x Solar Sapphire and I love it to bits.

Portland, JAMAICA in the building!!!!!!

How do you track this apple watch anywhere you are as opposed to "invisible on the map like they are now"? I've been able to see where my cellular watches have been in the Find My app for years now, does it have a U1 chip or something now that makes it even better? Or is it that duel-GPS antenna perhaps?

I ordered one I like the battery life and the big buttons to use with my motorcycle when I have gloves on. I think it will be used by a lot of people that are not athletes for some of the features you mentioned like the screen, battery life and gps.

Hi ZONEofTECH, the internal differences of the Series 8 and Ultra are a bit more significant. They share the S8 SiP chip, and body sensors, but the differences include, different radio chips (BlueTooth 5.3 vs 5.0) and a different GPS (regular vs dual band precision GPS), different speaker and microphone system, and of course a MUCH bigger battery.

Apple does well what they have been doing well for years, fitness watch with notifications. Extreme sports you should go with Garmin or Polar honestly.

I have a Fenix 6 X and it's great, but it can't make phone calls or write texts. That's why I am switching back to an Apple Watch and have ordered the Ultra. Also being in the Apple ecosystem, the watch just works seamlessly with my other devices. I would have possibly ordered a Series 8 in SS, but when you look at the price with Cellular, you might as well just get the Ultra.

Please compare the Apple Watch Ultra vs Garmin fenix S7 solar

If apple implements solar charging its game over for the competition

that track detection is also mentioned in Indian website too.

Hey kid , There’s a lot of people that work with their hands (construction workers, electricians) that can benefit from this watch besides just runners and divers .

Bulky? Not really at all. I've worn Garmin and Coros watches that are 51mm and even those aren't bulky and easily fit under shirts and suits, which I've worn. Is it a change compared to the regular apple watches? Sure. But for those that have larger wrists or prefer a larger watch face etc then it's going to be just fine and I can't wait to get mine as for me 47-50mm is my personal sweet spot for a size watch.

This is the MAIN coolest feature, you can use the watch without a phone … so less screentime and losing my time with too much brainnumbing facebook scrolling!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Speaking from usage experience, the difference in battery life isn’t enough to make a Garmin better. The weight of a Fenix is atrocious, the display/backlights are always washed out, and the UI is very complicated. There are some benefits to the Fenix line, but the Ultra is going to steal away a lot of Garmin/Polar/COROS users, myself included.

Having had multiple Garmin Fenix i would prefer this over one purely down to the screen. The Garmin screens lack in colour and vibrancy.

The Ultra is amazing.

The bands are backwards compatible… The reason why they say it’s gonna stick out is obviously because of the size that they were originally intended for, if you were in the 49 on a 44 and the band is going to come to just the edge of the 44… And obviously vice versa for the 49. But the plastic piece will fit into both
