Oh, great I was just gonna buy an Apple Watch ultra for the battery. Should I try to make sure to get one that hasn’t been updated? I think honestly it’s impossible, because during setup you are usually forced to upgrade to the newest version.
Depending on what you planned to use the Ultra for, you might want to consider a less power hungry watch? My elderly AW is still on 9.whatever and I’m hesitant to update the os. I had been thinking about getting a newer AW soon, but now I’m looking at Garmin options instead.
There was someone on /r/Garmin today complaining about how their watch battery was only lasting 8 days before it needed recharging and something must be wrong! I laughed, somewhat bitterly…
I’ve started looking into all the details relatively recently, so I might be wrong - it seems like you can import the Garmin data, but that the Garmin health app is so much better organized and more comprehensive most people using iPhones simply don’t bother.
That I don’t know. I’ve been checking out the inexpensive Instinct, which does not. There are many, many other Garmin watches. I recommend asking about options on /r/Garmin People on that sub are generous with their knowledge. I’ve gotten a kick out of lurking there for the last few months.

Can Garmin watches talk to Apple Health?

I’m not against tryout something new. Does it come with a cellular version that you can use as a phone?
