I hope not. I've seen other threads where supposedly the screen is the same size.
The verge is a complete joke. Bunch of pedantic hipsters who only review how they feel about very specific features instead of the product as whole.
You can compare the screen sizes on Apples own website. They are essentially the same size.
Plenty of people, me for one. And lots of android users since the AW doesn’t work with it?
I think it's going to be one of the best bands for the Ultra. Have faith
Probably the main 2 things I like about the Ultra are the addition of the Action button and the ability to track 2 different GPS frequencies. Other than that, the other features exclusive to the Ultra are not only more than I need, but probably ones I will hardly ever use.
I have the same thoughts too about the Action button. As a runner, I find double tapping the screen to mark laps a very inaccurate method. Very often, if not every time I try to double tap the screen to mark a lap, the Watch doesn't register it or it results in the Watch displaying the next screen. It's really terrible.
More data lines because of pixel density doesn't equal larger screen.
Lol…you probably don’t get out of your parents basement much.
For a watch that is trying to be "the fitness watch" it continues to be amazing how lazy the fitness app is. Nike app tracks all those things and has existed for years. Apple needs to get the software up to speed.From a quick read of the article, it looks like most of the issues that does not make the Ultra a Garmin "killer" is software based issues and I think I'd agree. I had mentioned on other threads that we are in iteration 9 of WatchOS and it is still rather crazy that the following very basic software-based features are not available on a rather expensive device (and my criticism has to do with Apple software; some of my issues can be resolved through 3rd party apps):
These are basic basic issues; not anything fancy. I'm keeping my Series 4. I don't expect it will happen though I hope it will, but may next year the Action button will also be available on the Series 9?
- No offline maps
- After a workout, there's no way to view the GPS tracks. There's also no way to review a recorded workout and have it "play" through showing how the heart rate, pace, cadence, elevation changes in sync.
- marking segments using touchscreen is inaccurate because it's not always clear when a touch has been registered during those time-critical moments (the addition of a 3rd button looks to be a solution and unfortunately not available in any edition of the Watch other than Ultra)
(C'mon Apple! Do better!)
I think it's because it's marketed towards more serious athletes who typically would wear a Garmin.
Seriously, that’s going to be the last worry I’ll have to “process” before buying this version.But then they wouldn't be able to reduce the bezels next year.
