I have an AWU1 that still has 100% battery capacity. Excellent watch. The watch seems like it will last and work well for several more years.

I’ve seen more of the black version out and about, and I like the looks of it as well. It actually looks great with both dark suits and casual wear. I know it seems dumb but thinking about adding it with the AW3 version. I may trade in a Series 7… or I may not
 
just trade both the 7 and the UI and get the U3. I know you want to but feel hesitant.

Too much invested in the AWU1, including titanium band. And they are legitimately different looks. Bad financial decision to keep both, I know.

Just curious, it's almost 3 years and your health is still 100%? How did you managed that? Do you wear it everyday and do workout?

My Ultra1 is currently at 86%, going to upgrade it to Ultra3 next month.

Same here and same question to the OP. I use my U1 24/7 and in the same timeframe as yourself I’m at 89% but will upgrade this year to the U3.
 
Just checked this morning - battery capacity still says 100%. I use my Apple Watch Ultra most days - but not every day. I have other watches (including Apple Watches) that I wear sometimes. I also generally don’t sleep with my Apple Watch on. I only recently began to use sleep tracking, and I use my Series 7 or 9 for that. I workout every day and track with the AWU. But sometimes I will switch out after. For example, yesterday I worked out at 6 AM with the ultra on, then took the watch off and put on a mechanical watch for the rest of the day.
 
I would stick with the Ultra 1 and if the Ultra 3 is offered in black, get that. I get the temptation but, I think you would end up regretting getting the black U2 and it will sit around not getting used like you thought.

No, I’m definitely not getting an AW2 at this point
