Apple Unveils Apple Watch Ultra With Large-Screen Design for Athletes and Explorers

[The-Real-Deal82]

I understand the market placement. My point was the Ultra is what the S8 should have been (at least feature wise). Really, look at the advancements from S4 to S8 and tell me they haven't gimped the mainstream watch so that they could create this new Ultra market. They really don't have much competition, so why not. They can now command $800 for the privilege of these advancements.

Oh I agree they’ve well and truly taken the mick out of those of us who buy the general Apple Watch. My days of buying the latest watch and iPhone ended this year. I’m now looking at an S7 and a 13 Pro as my upgrades. The price hikes on watches and iPhones has just confirmed to me it’s not worth getting anything new from now on.

the SE is like the old S3. Difference for the user is the significant price bump.

I'm bummed the Nike+ is gone All the aluminum models went up in price, outside of the USA. Almost like Nike+ partnership ended OR Nike didn't have the expertise nor wanted to work to Apple on Watch Ulta.

Ordered. How do I get to use maps and navigation while hiking (offline)?

(Have been on Garmin Fenix for the recent years where maps are built in. Recall that WorkOutDoors app was the best solution when I still had Apple Watch. Overall the experience of needing to always remember to load maps was slow and poor.)

Got my hands on Ultra and wrote a test report on the offline map situation here.
