Apple Watch Ultra Praised by Watch World Tastemaker John Mayer

if the watch incorporated a built in range finder, heat signature radar and native ballistics calculator then i would call it a tactical watch

Wait, isn't it true for ALL Apple Watches? Sooner or later your device will become obsolete and won't get updates. As opposed to any mechanical watch that should work forever.

Yup! Which is why smart watches have never, in my mind, been seen as "heirloom" pieces. Smart watches turn out to be pretty dumb after some years. LOL.

Very surprised at the weird comments on here - it wouldn’t take much searching to see that John is probably the celebrity most knowledgeable about watches in the world. And he regularly buys six figure Pateks and vintage rolexes, I seriously doubt he is going to let someone sending him a sub-$1000 smartwatch affect his opinions or posts..

Your comment does not make any sense, it is not about him getting a free sub $1000 watch, it is about the fact that he just gave Apple a free advertisement, what is that worth in dollar terms, who knows, $100k, less or more, probably more, you think he would be the first celebrity who had a relationship with a corporation to not give a flying **** about a product and announce, "yeah, I love it", so people on this thread are very skeptical of the veracity of his endorsement, nothing weird about that.

And the watches he regulary buys have nothing to do with a smartwatch.

And Apple has been very smart in getting their products into the hands of the celebrities and influencers and a long history of getting them into the movies.

Their reach runs far and wide, Apple Music, Apple TV, if I am an actor or musician, probably makes sense to cultivate a positive relationship with them.

Watch Ultra came to my hands on 9/23 and on 7 days initial use, I felt it is really "Aspirational Beauty" quite cheap when compare to other apple models (stainless steel / titanium cases). It gives best value to gentle style and absolutely no negative comments on this fabulous watch. I wish it would be bought by many many people who are not even athletes

You seem to equate $$ with quality. The list of no talents with millions of dollars in the bank is long.

This is true, however John Mayer is far from a "no talent", quite the opposite (not that it's your point). He is an exceptional vocalist, songwriter and guitarist, IMHO.

He has and aspirational and uninspired watch “collection”. More money that taste and knowledge in watches.
But surely Ultra buyers will feel more validated by that comment. I am
Happy with my 6, and want to upgrade, but the Ultra is just bigger, not a really upgrade.
Fun fact about sapphire watches: did u know that the NASA certified “moon watch” from
omega must have a an acrylic “glass”?, a sapphire shattered in the spaceship will make dangerous splinters.

Learn something new every day! (The moon watch, not about John’s watch collection. 😉)
