them bezels are huge, the series 7/8 looks more modern
This size would be great for me. being 2m tall and with large wrists, looks good. I am just not excited about paying $300 more than the standard wi-fi AW. Maybe wait a few months and see what promos will come by maybe slashing $100 from it or something.
it doesn't look like a bigger screen just bigger bezels and case
I doubt many if any will take notice at all.
Also, you’re free to buy whatever you want. IMO if buying the watch somehow motivates you to be a not-overweight middle aged guy it’s money well spent.
I didn’t think I would like it as much as I do, but I am a sucker for titanium anything. That and the new bands they offer look fantastic. But I’ll be sticking with my properly round Epix 2 for the next couple of years, with its 16 days of battery life and 100M water resistance and tri-system GPS capability.
Originally had an order for a SS series 8 but then noticed that series 8 is on BT5.0 whereas ultra is on BT5.3 … and while the battery life estimates are slightly misleading 5.3 should still yield better battery life in general so going for ultra
I don't know why all the hate. Looks like a rugged Apple Watch to me. After seeing the Apple Watch Ultra, my current Apple Watch 7 looks like a ladies watch. Perhaps all the haters are women 
New images shared by media personnel in attendance after Apple's "Far out" event are offering the first hands-on look at the all-new Apple Watch Ultra, a new watch designed for athletes and pro users that includes a new design and advanced features.
The Apple Watch Ultra features an all-new 49mm design larger than previous Apple Watch models. The watch features a new housing on the right side for the Digital Crown and the Side Button and includes a new button on the left that Apple calls the "Action button." The button can be customized to control different functions of the Apple Watch, including starting and ending workouts.
The new Apple Watch Ultra is considerably bigger than even the largest Apple Watch Series 8, so it may not appeal to all customers. For others, Apple today introduced the new Series 8, which includes a new body temperature sensor focused on women's health in the same design as the Apple Watch Series 7 from last year
The Apple Watch Ultra is priced at $799, is already available for pre-order, and will begin shipping on Friday, September 23.

When videos are made of sizing, I think it is important to know the body shape and size of person first.
Skinny dude with Watch Ultra might indeed not be a good fit.
But if you can palm a basketball and have XL size hands and decent sized arms, it's probably a good fit.
So folks - if you are going to show me on video how the thing fits, let us know if you are an ectomorph or a mesomorph or an endomorph kinda thing.
Each to their own but by god, that is ugly. It would probably look alright if I wore it on my thigh!
First rule of photographing watches on wrists - never use a lens wider than about 50mm equivalent otherwise you just make the watch look way oversized.
Experiment: take a close-up photo of your own watch on your wrist using the standard iPhone camera 1x lens. See what I mean?
