I remember thinking the original Apple Watch was bulky… then I loved it. Thought the same when I upgraded to the bigger size a few versions later… then I loved it. This ultra is definitely bigger and bulkier… but I love it already!

Go vols!!!
 
tried on a ultra in store today i think it looks a bit too big for me lol View attachment 2082148
Honestly it’s not bad. It just depends on how you feel. Smart watches aren’t necessarily held to the same guidelines as dress watches, ant least imo 😆. So if you like and want the watch, rock it! You could try the ocean band. I have skinny wrists and the ocean looked a whole lot better vs the alpine strap.

I'm thinking of attaching an iPad mini on my wrist. Bonus is that I can get one for less money than the Ultra watch. 🤣

IMHO if the top and bottom of the watch are larger than your wrist, it's too big. But hey, people wear oversized clothes and whatnot all the time, so if you're happy with the size and weight, go for it.

There are some very large watches out there! This is my 46mm Pilot’s watch. 2” wide case (to end of stem) X 1.75” x .5” Just a tad bigger than the Ultra’s case dimensions (1.93 X 1.73 x.57.

For perspective..my wrist is 8 3/16 inches. I think I could pull off the Ultra😊

Looks like you're wearing a Solo Loop?
Are you able to use the same size loop as with a size 44/45 Watch? Or do you need to use a smaller size due to the size 49 case?
Got into a Store yesterday to see and try wearing an Ultra. Answer for me is that I have to go down one size with Solo Loop. Anyone have different experience?
Anyway killer for me is that Ultra is too much on the big side for my arm - would be even more so with an Ultra band - and is too high when wearing long sleeve shirts. Reckon I'd be knocking it much more than with a 45mm Watch. Screen is nice though!
