I have yet to see another person wear the Ultra when out in public

I have seen it a few times out and about, and I know of at least 2 people where I work that has it both of these people are very outdoors types outside of work
Examples
Tag Monaco LS
Citizen Sky Hawk
Garmin Fenix 5x
Only smaller watch is Omega Speedmaster
I've seen one, worn by the guy in line in front of me who kept creating big gaps in the queue while engaged with it and not paying attention 
It's large, it's expensive, it's heavy, and every Apple Watch starting with Series 4 is still very much functional and usable today. I'm not surprised it's a rare sight.
…and it’s winter in the northern hemisphere, so a few watches are probably hiding behind long sleeves
Yeah, I've never even seen one in real life, then again I live about an hour from a Best Buy or Apple Store currently. I see a lot of Apple Watches or whatever the hell all the watches that look like Apple Watches are. I don't really notice specific watches unless I see the color of mine which I've only ever seen twice since I ever bought it..I guess because most people aren't enough to wear a red watch.
Saw another ultra on a hiker on the same trail I was on. This is my 3rd or 4th Ultra encounter.
The OP needs to get out more.

I've seen a few around here (NYC), and coupled with the right band I actually think it looks pretty cool - I wasn't much of a fan when it was first released.
Weird. I’ve seen them all over the place, across many different time zones and latitudes.
Maybe we need to start a wiki post to record sightings in the wild. We can use these data to augment Apple’s unannounced sales numbers.

1 in 7! Extrapolating from that, if you are US based that means approximately 47 million people have one.
Even without actively looking at people’s wrists, I notice a lot of people have standard Apple Watches. Part of the reason I upgraded to the Ultra, so at least I’d have something a little more unique on, sort of. But, I haven’t noticed any other Ultras in use either.
Haha!
Not unless you include the standard deviation and a fancy graph. And maybe some surreptitious photos showing the super rare Apple Watch Ultra in a meeting setting.
Not sure how others see this but if I don’t like something I bought I’d just return it.
I tend to see lots of diver watches and the wearers are no divers. It’s just a different form factor.
Ditto. Person had a small wrist, so size of Watch and case made it noticeable. But even then, had to double check to see if AWU or some other watch.
I haven't seen one in the wild yet. But that's not terribly surprising where I live. Tech adoption seems very slow. I had a massive delay on the original AirPods due to backorder, and still seemed to be the only person around who had them - got accosted multiple times in the first 6 months by strangers asking about them.
At work, I was only the 2nd person to have an Apple Watch (got my first in 2019), though there are about half a dozen of us with one now out of a staff of ~30. I've asked around and only one other person is considering the Ultra - solely because she's into diving and wants those features, but neither of us has gone in for it yet.
