Apple Watch Ultra 3 Expected to Boast These 3 Display Upgrades

So my last Apple Watch, a series 4, broke when I stopped it onto my bed frame. Screen shattered, sapphire glass screen.

Trying to decide between an ultra 3 (it has a lip to protect against this)

Or a series 11, titanium with a screen protector.

My dream feature for the new model would be a battery that’s actually possible to replace yourself, instead of it becoming landfill but that’s wishful thinking from Apple

Which works best in this scenario?

Some innovation would be amazing. Like adding some buttons for those who wish to swim and control it with no issues , for those who hikes and use gloves to compete with garmin. It’s not all about screen size or bezel size or bloody watch faces. I moved to garmin tactic for this very reason. Lack of buttons to control while screen touch is disabled is no 1 for so many athletes I know. I’m shocked how Apple lost all creativity some years ago and all new devices are same same but diferent. Like lets trim the bezel .2 of a mm on CNC mill and order 0.2 mm bigger screen and sell it again as new product and make more money. Ffs so frustrating.
Let’s hope they will surprise me this evening…

Erm…like the extra button on the ultra? That already exists

Um no. Im an actual watch guy with a roller and a couple breitlings and my current favorite is an Oris /(new in-house movement) that I use as a daily driver. No watch enthusiast I know wears huge watches. None. Not one. Try to find a huge Patek. The only ‘watch guys’ wearing big watches are those trying to show off $$ and not interested in quality (or it’s a sponsorship deal). Hell, a $3M Grandmaster Chime is smaller than an AW Ultra. A Nautilus (that any watch guy would almost die to have) is a ~40mm case and will run you a cool $100k.

I will refrain from listing my collection at the risk of making your seem inadequate.

Ignoring the "girly" argument which I disagree with...

I don't think any real "watch guy" would even consider an Apple Watch or any other smart watch. Just "watch guy" posers.

Again, I will refrain from listing my watch collection. Sorry you don't like the word girly Karen. I refrained from getting an Apple Watch I think for 7 years or until the UW came out. 1) I had a watch collection. 2) The "series" watches looked like female watches (is that better???). Then I tried on the Ultra in the store and bought it. I find it useful for working out, hiking, etc. without the need to have my phone with me to stream music to my APP's.

Then why not make the watch face available in de App Store? Many series 10 buyers are primarily put off by the weight of the AWU2, not the price.

This. If you're comparing a Ti Apple Watch to an Ultra the price is only $50. (depending on band) Yes while still money but if you're spending that kind of money for a watch.
I'm actually surprised at how well it sells. When apple first announced the ultra I was like this is for serious athletes for training and a few people who want to show off are going to buy it that wasn't the case.

I think it's too rugged/big for everyday use for me. I don't have large wrist so it looks funny on my wrist. I was never a huge fan of the "big watch look"
 
I like it better when Titanium is colored in Titanium.
Being a different color, who cares if it's aluminum or Stainless Steel? Except for the weight, there's no other relevant difference.
