I have had an Apple Watch Series 6 for a number of years and it works well. But as it aged, the battery life eventually got so bad it wouldn't keep a charge during the day. So I made the jump to the Ultra 2! There are way too many features to mention, but a few I really like are as follows: 1) I like the larger size and the 3000 nit screen brightness. Even on a sunny day there is no issue reading the screen. 2) The battery life is definitely longer. Mine charges to 80% from 50% in about 15 minutes. You have th option to override and charge to 100%, but battery life is improved if you keep it at 80% or below. 3) I'm using it to see if I may need further testing in regards to sleep apnea. 4) I'm planning to get certified for scuba diving, and this watch is very capable of performing at any depth I would plan to go to. 5) I can control my Bluetooth hearing aids directly from my watch. 6) The speaker is far superior to my Apple Watch 6 series. Great for taking phone calls. Also it is cellular ready without your iPhone present should you wish to add the service from your cell provider. 7) I purchased several different bands and they are very easy to change. The watch looks great! It's not inexpensive, but I think it is worth the price for all it does! Read more
Incredible Apple Watch—A Total Beast! I absolutely love this watch. It’s a beast—super durable, fast, and packed with features. The display is bright and clear, the battery life is way better than my old Apple Watch, and all the health tracking works perfectly. One of my favorite things is how the screen goes dim at night and switches to a red color—it’s super cool and doesn’t light up the whole room while I’m sleeping. I also love the big face and the rugged design. If you’re on the fence, just get it. You won’t regret it. Read more
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has proven to be a versatile and durable addition to my daily routine. Although my activity levels aren’t as high as they once were, I find its workout tracking capabilities invaluable for my occasional exercise sessions. A standout feature for me is the built-in cellular connectivity. This allows me to leave my iPhone Pro Max at home during runs, providing a sense of freedom and convenience. The battery life is impressive, comfortably supporting extended workouts and lasting approximately two days under standard use. While charging takes a bit longer, incorporating it into my morning routine ensures the watch is ready for daily use. I also appreciate the sleep tracking feature, which offers valuable insights into my rest patterns. However, the watch’s bulkiness is noticeable, especially when wearing clothing with tight cuffs, which requires some adjustment. The customizable Action Button is a convenient addition, offering quick access to frequently used apps like the Workout app. Personalizing this button has enhanced its utility, tailoring the watch to my specific needs. Overall, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 delivers a satisfying experience, combining robust features with user-friendly design, making it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a reliable and functional smartwatch.

Great quality. Really good price. Works exactly as it should Read more
Great piece of tech. Battery life with the minimal face is over 3 days. I can actually leave my phone behind and be OK but without a camera I keep going back to my phone in a day. Read more
Upgraded from the Apple Watch 5 and I can say it’s a nice watch! Does everything that I need for it to. Read more
W WATCH!! Ok I never leave reviews on products but this one is worth it. I got this watch on a great Black Friday deal. I have always loved Apple Watches but have always had an older series. This is my first huge upgrade in 5 or so years from a series 5 and I’m loving it so far. I have had the watch for about 3 weeks and it’s awesome. Style is clean and battery life is awesome while still providing sleep tracking, music streaming, calling, and texting, etc.. I have a smaller wrist but the watch still feels great and I don’t even realize it’s there! I highly recommend this watch and especially when it’s on sale!!! Read more
Does everything; I hope it lasts a long time and doesn't need replacing as often as the apple phones do. Took a chance at joining the millions of users of these devices and so far have enjoyed the sleep tracking feature the most. Unfortunately, its very buggy, and not well documented with respect to using it, but I am finding that true of nearly all the Apple watch software applications. You really have to jump through hoops to figure them out. I'm a little disappointed in the choices of watch faces, but I'll live. It's a learning process, I'm only on the road and know I have a lot longer to go. Maybe I'll find something wonderful in the future, so far it's underwhelming. A lot of the apps just hold no interest to me. The health app pesters me to stand up, was so annoying I ended up just disabling it. I appreciate the connection to my iPhone the most. Getting silent alerts has been useful, doesn't interrupt my interviews (I'm a physician) in an annoying way. I like that. Not sure it was worth the hundreds of dollars the watch cost. I hope I find more useful tools over time. Overall, I'm not sorry I got it; I'm just not sure it was worth it. Read more
