Apple Watch Ultra Unboxing and Hands-On

[Mausse]

just slap the og strap, really enjoying this Watch.

Now, give me a matching Titanium watch band....for 90% of the time I am not swimming/hiking/etc....

 

[GadgetBen]

I really don't understand the people that say its too big. Buy a smaller size then!

Bigger watches are popular and the larger size is the reason that the Ultra can offer 3 days battery life.

I'm old, overweight, and balding. Will people think I'm an active, rugged, and a trim athlete by wearing this watch?

If your not hanging out with older more overweight people to make you look thinner, you’re not trying hard enough.

Here’s how it looks with the link band.

I have a pretty small wrist for a guy.
Compared with the S6 44mm

I like bigger watches as well -- i hope they make a round one at some point -- doubt it though. Thats why I used Android watches on the side as well.

I am interested to see the battery life with all of the main features turned off

There is just no getting away from it…..
it’s one ugly hog of a thing.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

It appears that the bezel selection in Wayfinder face customization section isn't working. It's not adding any of the selections to the watch face. Anyone else notice this?

 

[eeek5127]

I also noticed that. I thought I was just missing something.

 

[midkay]

I've come to quite like the design. I went from thinking this is probably not for me to actually considering getting one. But I'll have to try it on in an Apple Store first. I'd like to try each of the 3 new bands.

 

[Trager]

I am really surprised at how much I like it, and the alpine loop band is really surprisingly comfortable for me. Didn’t expect this, but I’m delighted!

Also, I really like how it looks with the Apple leather band.

Works fine for me. Did you update to 9.0.1?

For the price you're paying Apple should provide LTS options for the high-end watch, They might sell more if they said they will provide software support for the next 10 years or say that the logic board can be upgraded to the next generation, something to assure people that you're not buying an $800 watch just for five years.

Have you looked at the alternatives from Garmin etc?

Impressive.

People who get the Ultra or are considering it need to look at this Garmin, at least to get an idea of this segment.

At the least it will make people think that were formerly an active, rugged athletic kind of guy.

I love my Apple Watch Ultra. I've been waiting for this Apple Watch for a very long time. Apple did an amazing job! Just incredible!

No, but there are emergency, fitness, and health features.
