I use mine purely for convenience.
I got the ultra for the battery life and durability to hopefully last a few years, but in general the use is the same on all the same.
1. I don’t work out, but I do have dietary apps that give me what and how much I have to eat based on my walking, etc daily
2. I have specific hand gestures to trigger Apple Pay while I am on my bike wearing the bike jacket - easier than trying to get the phone out.
3. Apple Pay in general is much quicker to access
4. Using Apple Maps (not the biggest fan but) it gives haptic feedback when your turn is coming up with navigation so on the bike it’s a nice reminder to take the exit, etc
5. Unlocking the MacBook with the watch works great in my experience
6. Specific tv remote apps works really good for when I don’t feel like looking for the remote
7. The ultra side button is a great one for the flashlight on the go, not the brightest light but it does help
There’s more of course and yes, 100% just convenience, but to me that is worth the using it.
