'Ultra'... 'Pro'... I get the impression Apple just picks one out of the hat. I mean seriously why not Apple Watch Pro or iPhone Ultra, it's quite literally interchangeable at this point.
Got a tip for us?

Well, let's see how sapphire their sapphire crystal is. Traditionally, less than stellar. Youtubers will be Mohs testing.
Thought the Ultra looked good, think some people will have uses for it and it’ll be quite popular.
Sorry I didn’t join the full on circle j.
They made basically no improvements in S8, reserving any for this “rugged” version, slapped it in titanium all so they could up charge to $800. And yes, it’s ugly to boot.
Can your Garmin do cell data and phone calls? If so, I might buy one, but not if it can't.
I think some people got a dud maybe? My series 3 lasted a 12 hour 40 run last Saturday. Battery ran out about 5 mins after I finished. GPS tracking the whole way.
Because I like the look of classic watches. Apple Watch looks like a thick gadget.
Our Miele appliances have all important buttons and parts coloured in a similar (maybe same) orange. Maybe there is a general consensus regarding this.
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.)

There are a ton of people who are aspired to go deep sea diving or running across the Sahara. You do not buy a watch for doing it, you buy a watch for dreaming about it... (Yes, I am guilty as charged)
I take it you've never heard of ultra marathons, one of the things this is targeted at.
I’m a keen runner but not interested in this. The standard watch is good enough and better looking for casual wear in my opinion. This cheaper than I expected it to be but still not competitive enough to tempt those on aluminium sports watches in huge numbers I wouldn’t have thought.
60 hours in low power mode, which sill has sensors enabled. We knew this wasn't going to match the Garmin Fenix or Coros Vertix of the world; they don't run a state of the art smartwatch platform requiring extra power.
Really wish they gave the gps on time though. Hoping for at least 16h, but it may be less.
Not really,leaks claimed $1000 price and a different shape the only things they got right were extra button and flat face
People said the original Apple Watch was "ugly" at first. It took a while for it to grow on people.
Explorers' relatives class action sue Apple for Ultra Watches not saving them from lava
These guys really dislike cyclists dont they. Never see any integration for power meters which would be a super nice additon. Its not really a 'rugged; watch for 'extreme sports' lol.. its to help bankers who already have an apple watch on one wrist and an Audemars Piquet on the other..
