Watch Ultra is a good. But I prefer the Series 8 in stainless steel case.
I've not yet seen the Ultra in the flesh but for me I bought the Graphite SS series 8. I don't run in desserts, climb mountains or am likely to get lost in a jungle. For me I prefer the SS as it's a little more dressy and will look better for formal occasions and when in the office. That said, and as I say, I've not seen the Ultra yet!Watch Ultra is a good.

Not that big. But the experience is very different. Example a phone call on this bad boy is loud and crystal clear.The Apple Watch ultra looks really nice but no way when I go for such a big watch. That’s just my personal preference.
I kind of wish there was some other choice besides besides aluminum and stainless steel with the Series 8. I went with aluminum because I’m not too crazy about the polished stainless steel finish.
I can never go back. Once i put on the ultra it is like wao.Watch Ultra is a good. But I prefer the Series 8 in stainless steel case.

It will look good with any band but yes they will look good. But the orange alpine band not only feels good. Feels secure. It looks so good. I will def be picking up the green as well ocean band.But do you think it would look good with the Apple link bracelet? Or the Milanese loop?
In that picture it looks wider than your wrist. It looks like a nice watch though.Not that big. But the experience is very different. Example a phone call on this bad boy is loud and crystal clear.
I bought the Graphite SS series 8 but exactly the same as my series 6 so today picked up an Ultra. At least this feels like a new watch.Wow, just $50?
The price difference in the UK is £430.

Its not stronger or harder generally but is ~40% lighter than high quality SSAnyone with the Ultra considering AppleCare? With the titanium being stronger than SS do you think it's worth it?

Think I will too. It's not that expensive.Me personally, I’m going to make sure I get AppleCare+, in case something happens. I’ll have peace of mind.
I think most people are buying the £400 aluminium Apple Watch but I suppose mac rumours has more enthusiasts that pay much more on the whole and these people don’t relate the common consumer with themselves. When you see how the finer details of these products are analysed here in a fashion most people wouldn’t dream about, it’s a totally different perception. I’d never pay £700-£900 for an Apple Watch that i’ll only use for 3-4 years. The aluminium models are plenty good enough. I may buy a stainless S7 if there’s a significant discount, but never at full original retail price. I think the Ultra is testament to the strength of Apples brand with its marmite design and bulky design.Most of the comments here are comparing the Ultra with the Apple Watch 8 Stainless steel, does anyone even buy SS? I would imagine that most punters would buy the aluminium version at well over 400 quid difference. Besides some features that most people will never use and Titanium case, the price is double, the only feature that I would like is the better screen.
Yep, I agree with this. The aluminium watch is (or should be) the consumers choice. I think that when considering the SS against the Ultra at basically the same price, the only difference is, "Which do I like the look of better."I think most people are buying the £400 aluminium Apple Watch but I suppose mac rumours has more enthusiasts that pay much more on the whole and these people don’t relate the common consumer with themselves.

I have worn big watches before and one gets used to them, it was only when I realised that, other people don't, they look at my wrist and think "That watch is just too big" Lol. I have a similar, if slightly smaller wrist as you and, although I haven't seen the ultra in person, would guess that it would be way too big for me. Having said that, at 47mm, the Fenix 7 doesn't look overly large, it may be the shape and that it looks more like a G shock that I can get away with it.For me it would be the SS S8 as I know I would be able to wear it with almost everything. Plus the Ultra is too big for me anyway as I only have 7” wrists. I do a fair bit of exercise like running but not diving and anything extreme enough to warrant an extreme sports AW. I do think most who buy it will be doing so because they like the bulky look of it though but thankfully there’s plenty of choice across the range.
Yes for me. Why buy insurance???? Just in case right?Anyone with the Ultra considering AppleCare? With the titanium being stronger than SS do you think it's worth it?

Apple website bro.Not a big criticism, but I would appreciate if the articles that have popped up lately comparing two devices would list a table, where you can see the same feature side by side.
When you look at the article (at least in desktop mode), the same feature does not match the same row between both devices. It only gets worse as you scroll down the list, and becomes difficult to really compare, which is the purpose.
