Considering the Watch Ultra 2

[Tartarus]

Okay. Normally I’m more for the regular size Watches but after todays Keynote I felt a strong urge to get the Ultra 2.

Who else is feeling the same way?

I thought the same thing... but this is an iPhone year for me! LOL! If I suggested that I get both a phone and a watch... LOL!

I’m picking one up

I already have an Ultra, so no Ultra 2 for me. But the Ultra is one of may favorite pieces of Apple tech. If you can pull off the size, and can afford the price, go for it!

Not at all. I just can’t justify the price for myself.

I thought about briefly, but it's still overkill for me, especially when my Series 5 is still perfing for me well.

FWIW, the Ultra with 2000 nits has been absolutely fine. I've not had a single situation outdoors when I had any trouble reading the display at all.

But, yeah, brighter is better. And on-device Siri would be fantastic - I am often away from connectivity with mine (I have bad cellular signal near where I live) and using Siri to do things like set timers would be great in situations like that.

I can imagine, it’s annoying when you are out of range and Siri stops working on the watch.

I'm interested in finding a leftover Ultra 1, nothing about the Ultra 2 seems that necessary to me. Wonder if there are any deals out there for them.

I just ordered one from T-Mobile won't ship until the 22nd can't wait.

I am excited for the ultra 2 watch can’t wait for it to arrive. Just got notified it’s arriving tomorrow on the 22nd.

Just received my ultra 2 watch and already love it I have a third party band on it already.

If anyone is looking at the ultra I highly recommend it. It’s a super nice watch and not that big at all for my wrist at all actually the right size.

I added a spigen watch cover looks great and very protective.
