I think so, if you look at the listings of the new Ultra bands, they list compatible with 44mm, 45mm and 49mm Apple Watch sizes.Will the old bands work?
I remember when Apple fans used to say the same thing about Samsung phones because of their much larger screens.Comical looking on any size wrist. 😆🤡🤪 You will look like a total tool wearing this thing casually and not in any impressive way either.
I think it is because of the band you may have selected. Many other ones are still showing 9/23.My order says delivery October 20-27 not September 23. Have the shipping dates already slipped that far?!
That's the band I chose also!Fell in love with that ocean band as soon as I saw it
Cant wait for Sept 23![]()
For some of the bands yeah but you can still get launch day deliveryDang - delivery times into late October!
Yes and the Ultra bands work on other modelsWill the old bands work?
Nah, I ordered it and I never will use the extreme featuresIs it wrong to want this watch even though I will never, ever use the “extreme” features?
It's extremely large, so yes, you will use that feature if you buy it.Is it wrong to want this watch even though I will never, ever use the “extreme” features?
I like it for the more rugged design and larger screen size. I don’t dive or mt climb 🤷♂️Is it wrong to want this watch even though I will never, ever use the “extreme” features?
Really annoys me Apple Watch doesn't do this. One way is to use Cyclemeter which then syncs activity to Strava etc, but it's not ideal in the slightest. Meanwhile, my wife's Galaxy Watch 4 shows her heart rate in real time in both Strava and MapMyRide on Android.I wish There was a way to push heart rate data to the apps like strava or ridegps. This would let me dump the heart rate monitors.
Argh… just saw the local price in euro and the watch is just over $1000… guess this will have to wait.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).
Great catch @jclardy!I think so, if you look at the listings of the new Ultra bands, they list compatible with 44mm, 45mm and 49mm Apple Watch sizes.
I ordered the Ultra. I always wanted a titanium apple watch, but couldn't justify the price difference. Here it is $50 more than 45mm steel, but you get a bigger screen, more battery, new design and extra features.
I never believed that silly $1000 tag leak it was just not realistic for a smart watch with only few years lifespan specially considering they discounted edition,even ceramicPleasantly surprised by the price. I was expecting something like $999.
Tell us you have a small "wrist" without telling us.Comical looking on any size wrist. 😆🤡🤪 You will look like a total tool wearing this thing casually and not in any impressive way either.
Correct. I canceled that order and went with the alpine band instead and ordered the trail band separately. Didn’t want to wait an extra month for the band. I liked both options anyways so I can swap them out as desired!I think it is because of the band you may have selected. Many other ones are still showing 9/23.
Not dissing the Garmin (they're awesome), but I do backpack and I've been using a series 4, no issues. I have a small battery pack, get up in the morning to a charged watch and it lasts all day. My one beef is on a serious climb, every time you slow down or stop for a break, the ridiculous workout algorithm decides I'm done hiking and tries to shut off the workout, which messes with tracking distance, etc. But my S4 also wasn't $1500 CAD so I'm good with it. The Ultra will be a nice upgrade to battery life and functionality.hahah I love how hard they tried to sell this watch to hikers.
iF YOU EVER HIKED you know how crucial battery life is and 6o hours is literal ****.
2 weeks + on battery GARMIN reigns supreme
