Why would I pay the same price for version 1, when I can get version 2 for the same price? I haven’t seen Apple any discounts on the ultra 1.
3rd party sellers with stock of Ultra 1’s will certainly be discounting them … otherwise they won’t sell.
 
Breaking news!! I just saw the new watch face on my phone and added it to my watch!

Totally surprised, haven’t even updated to the rc yet, Apple must have pushed it out somehow after the keynote. Saved ya’ll 800 dollars.

Still staying exclusively with the industrial gray I see. Too bad. Had the rumors of black panned out, a color that would look good in places other than the great outdoors, I'd be buying one. As it stands, I'll pass on this one.

They showed that they can make a black titanium iPhone but can’t do the same process for Ultra. Sucks

Can you change that face to show other app info instead of what is shown there?

Yeah, it could be basically a way to differential the models artificially. :(
Well, maybe I get something wrong here but I have been running the WatchOS 10 Beta on my Gen.1 Ultra for some weeks now and it switched automatically to night mode in low-light situations. Unfortunately I have not found a way to turn this off because I liked the way it was implemented, so I could switch between modes by just turning the crown. Or am I missing something and you refer to something different?

It’s in the watch face settings, if you edit your watch face you can choose.

Have there been any big updates in the last few years? They all have been incremental
The ultra last year was a big update.

Thing is, when devices mature, there’s not a lot to change, other than for the sake of change. Some people expect huge changes every year, but it’s not feasible. Also, some changes are huge to some people and small to others, depending on their interests/needs.
 
3000 nits and double tap. Maybe enough to upgrade - depends on the trade in they offer on the AWU1. Love mu AWU1 - may pass on this one...we'll see
Its 1099 in Canada and they are offering 370$ for mines
Ugh
Im tempted to upgrade with a trade in but Apple should’ve put it to 450 minimum for a trade in
 
Anyone else finding their Ultra screen isn’t as bright after installing the RC? My update crashed out as my phone decided to update while the watch was doing its update. Looking in the watch app it’s on the right build, but still says ‘installing’.

Wondering if the brightness thing is because of the weird update issues.
