Ohh Nooo! This is going in the wrong direction. I was hoping for a 47mm version. Sitting between the standard 45mm and the 50mm...
There is no “M” in Ultra 🤌🏼For those that are not interested in a Larger Display Apple Watch Ultra. Perhaps Apple can look into introducing Apple Watch Mini?
This rumor can't be true. I had multiple people in these forums tell me that Apple wouldn't/couldn't make a bigger screen for the Ultra when it was announced and I said I would wait until they actually released an Ultra with a bigger screen.
This will be a nice option for taller people. I’m seeing teenagers and young adults coming into my emergency department pushing 7 feet tall nowadays. I recently had a 15 year old come in who was 6’11”. 6’6”+ has become increasingly common.
My point being, everything will need to get bigger, from personal accessories to cars and houses.

people have it wrong the watch won't be any bigger, its just the bezels will get smaller so will have larger display
The physical casing doesn't need to become any larger for the screen to get bigger. There are (relatively) significant bezels around its current screen that can be trimmed down.
A 2.1" screen is approx 10% larger than a 1.93" screen only ON THE DIAGONAL. In terms of display surface area, the new screen would be closer to 20% larger.
I wanted to buy an Ultra this year, but I after checking it in a store, I didn't see much of an upgrade in terms of functionality (for me)
I will stick to my S7 series, and probably will do the upgrade next year.

Absolutely loving my Apple Watch Ultra. The battery life alone makes it amazing. I'm a big person so the watch looks small on me so <shrug> that could be a factor as to why I like this as well.
Hopefully they don't do what they've done in the past - increase screen size but keep the battery the same. I'm loving this increased battery life and want it to continue! (Yes maybe the screen tech will help there?).
Being able to charge this thing once every 3 days comfortably is a game changer.

Crazy how geometry works! 😝
Presumably, I doubt they would sacrifice that integral feature.
Add the camera already so we can do FaceTime video calls, like Dick Tracy.
The rumor is from Digi Times. They have a very poor record. I don’t believe the rumor.
As these watches keep getting bigger I wonder how many people will opt to start going watchless again or even to a regular watch. Or a minimal smart watch like Withings watch?
If they can clean up the bezels and get the software in shape so it can more creatively use the larger screen (instead of just making everything bigger), I may be in.
To be honest the only reason I didn't get an Apple Watch Ultra and instead kept my Series 7 was because the display wasn't actually any larger. I want bigger.
