Hi there.

I have fallen in love with the Ultra 1/2.

I do not exercise, mountain climbing, trailing or whatever, so what should I use it for?

The more I think about it, the more I am thinking it could be a waste of money. SO, you who have a watch, what do you use it for, if you are not exercising etc. like me. Are there some hidden useful things I do not know about, that could perhaps persuade me to get one or not?

Also, if I am persuaded to buy one, which model should I choose? 1 or 2?

Thx in advance.

    I’ve been upgrading my Apple Watch every year since their original and went from Ultra 1 to Ultra 2.

    There’s 3 reasons I like the Ultra:

    1. Battery. I can’t even remember the last time I got a low battery notification. I charge once every 2-3 days, and charge while I shower. So I don’t even notice charging it anymore, doesn’t interrupt my flow in any way.
    2. Action Button. That’s the game change. Provides a ton of extra functionality, especially if you configure that button to change based on the time of day/focus mode.
    3. 1 single extra icon/complication. As stupid and small as 1 single extra complication sounds, it’s a big deal on a screen that’s limited in what it can tell you. So I love the bigger screen that allows you to have more icons/widgets on the watch.

    There’s a few other small things like the Ultra Wide band is nice for tracking things, as well as the double tap to close things, etc. But yea those 3 things above are well worth the upgrade. It’s all about what you can afford and if those extra features are worth it to you. I upgraded from Ultra 1 to Ultra 2 just because the double tap and precision finding… to others those little things aren’t a big deal to pay money for, to me they are.
