I don't really need most of these features, but I kinda want one anyway
Ya this battery life isn't enough for adventures that could be life threatening if you run out of battery and lose a portable charger.
This things looks monstrous 🥸 I was surprised about the price since it’s the old stainless steel pricing but now I’m wondering the overall weight, this is one of those watches I need to feel and see it on wrist 😭
Looks amazing, wasn’t planning on getting one but the dive watch feature and lower than expected price has convinced me
That iPhone 14 Plus is gonna sell like crazy! I predict its gonna be in short supply.
I didn't want one until I saw those orange highlights
This will really come in handy when i shovel the driveway, it gets really cold in new england..
Look at it on a smaller wrist from an angle to try and hide its size!
My God they just turned the dive industry on its head. They didn't mention a free dive mode, but I assume they would add one if its not there.
My dive computer alone cost $1500. Of course this is with a tank sensor which ups the price about $350. ScubaPro, Garmin, and Oceanic executives have to be stunned at the $799 price for an everyday wear dive computer that feature wise, especially with cellular connectivity, decimates any product they offer.
If Apple wants to rule the recreational dive waters, they could develop or license a tank sensor to integrate air consumption.

Same, I was prepared to say "meh" and move on. I was not expecting a dive computer. At this price, it competes with other dive watches in the segment. I have been eyeing a Shearwater Teric, but it's so chonky I wouldn't wear it day to day. I'm interested to see how chonky the Apple Watch Ultra is compared to the regular watches. It won't matter though because it brings a massive ecosystem and apps to the frankly disjointed and crappy UX dive watch market (and athletic watches in general).Looks amazing, wasn’t planning on getting one but the dive watch feature and lower than expected price has convinced me
So it's unheard of to bring a backup battery or solar charger on a hike?
Not sure why you're quoting me, but I'll give it a shot. Hikers tend to be concerned a lot about weight. Little things add up.
