Do not buy from Amazon if you have any doubt you’ll return it. I returned mine and waited 5 weeks for a refund and that was after multiple calls. In the end they hadn’t even received it in yet but gave the refund because I could prove it was delivered to them. Buy it from somewhere else.

I actually had similar trouble with AirPods Pro on Amazon, with the initial delivery. The only time I’ve ever actually had to speak to them on the phone. The rep straight up told me that if he was buying them he’d order them straight from Apple. They did straighten it out though, they always do.

Too bad Apple doesn’t price match Amazon, or have any sales on anything ever.
 
Same! I haven't seen anyone wear the Ultra in public, unless I go to an Apple Retail Store. Even then, there'll be only one employee wearing it.
I’ve seen a few including mine, but I agree it’s a chunky thing.


I love mine to death though lol.
 
Any real athletes here? Epix 2 pro or this ?
Not a professional athlete, but I gave up my Apple Watch a year ago for the Epix 2 and would heartily recommend getting the new Epix 2 Pro. I LOVE getting 2 weeks of charge out of my Epix, even with 3 days of 90 minutes of outdoor bike tracking, plus 3 days of indoor spin tracking each week. I’m tempted to upgrade to the Epix Pro just to reduce charging frequency. I’ve done fine not being able to answer calls or reply to text messages on the Watch. I didn’t use these features much anyway and I do like all the health tracking that Garmin provides - plus I’m a traditional round watch enthusiast and like the more rugged look.

Still waiting for the updated version of the Ultra with a new processor. I have the series 6 and its almost the exact same processor, would like to seem they squeeze a bit more out of the new version/chip!
A faster process won’t make a significant difference on a watch. Just say you can’t afford it without saying you can’t afford it

The only time I’ve seen people wear this is in the Keynotes 😂

I have one, and I really like it.

I’ve seen at least one co worker with one, a grill worker at a Waffle House in Bear, DE wearing one, and one of the waiters at the local diner has one as well.

Mind you, these aren’t well to do people, including myself. I bought the Ultra primarily for its utilitarian features and durability.

I am also a large person who wears the band on the next to the last notch. So the size wasn’t an issue for me.

Are you an athlete ?
