The Ultra is nice and all, but as someone who runs 60-80 miles a week, Apple can’t compete yet. 36 hours based on normal use and 1 hr of workouts and apparently 60 hours in an upcoming low power mode. Apple doesn’t say what is cut to get to 60hours. I’m guessing cutting GPS down, etc.
How long will the Ultra last connected to a power meter, plus live tracking, plus music? Can it make it through a 3 hour 22-24 mile run?
When I’m running, I don’t need constant notifications. Just emergency communication, which my 945 LTE has. Also, Apple Watches don’t work with prepaid plans and I’m not going back to post-paid plans.
Also, while some divers might get the watch, it can’t replace a dive computer until it can connect to an O2 tank and tell you how much air you have left.
