After Almost two weeks with the watch and heavy use I have some great things to say. Just pure honesty here.

First off on average I am getting 48-72 hours of use from one charge, this includes one workout tracking a day and night sleep tracking and the occasional Spotify use and maps use.

Heavy use seems to get me 2 days. But mild use about 3 days.

Very impressive.


As for durability, some of yall commented that it scartched easy and dented easily. I dont know if yall just dont have alot of control over your arms or are just going crazy with it. But the watch has been succumbed to metal on metal clanks. Dog bites. Dog nails. Car door hits, wake surfing. Showering. Gym. And more. Its absolutely flawless. The sapphire is way better at scratch resistance that I ever imagined.

What makes the apple watch ultra great imo is three things.

Battery life.

The aesthetic of an actual quality watch (i feel like the regular apple watches generally dont look like watches since they lack the metal framing like the ultra).

And finally the durability.


I only have few cons to mention is that heart beat sensing seems to struggle during workout more than usual and finally this pertains to all ios watches the software is severely lacking. You cant customize ringtones. You cant play audio from apple music directly through the speaker. You cant really full design your own watch faces, temperature feature is lacking big time. I would like to see some other metrics that translate to metabolism.
