Actually they wear very comfortable, maybe even more comfortable than the 7 on my wrist (size 10) And the extended battery life is a real plus.
Got a tip for us?

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

I wear an Ultra. I have yet to see an Ultra (besides mine) in the wild. Yes, I've seen it on people in Youtube videos or on TV shows but ... never actually seen it in person.
I was a huge fan of the Apple Watch before the Ultra. Now, even more so.

I have yet to see one. I do see some regular Apple Watches but they are a minority here compared to fitness and Android watches.
where do you live? that's wild and definitely not the case in Aus.
I see them out and about probably 2 a day, I have converted a lot of friends and colleagues across though
Noticed a couple at the Boston Marathon this year (along with a handful of regular AWs). They really don’t seem to be making much progress with the running/racing crowd.
Saw one yesterday on a really dodgy looking bloke in Prets. I covered mine over just in case.
Agree, Apple seems to be the firm favourite amongst Londoners or those that work in London. I've see a few Ultra's floating around, again not as popular as the standard models, but seen a few. Sightings will probably increase as the weather gets better and people start wearing T-Shirts etc.
It’s probably because some Londoners want people to believe they get out of the city and partake in the extreme sports when in reality they are a desk diver and used like any other Apple Watch

This is probably true, but the commute into London can sometimes be carnage so you need something a little more rugged to cope with that!It’s probably because some Londoners want people to believe they get out of the city and partake in the extreme sports when in reality they are a desk diver and used like any other Apple Watch.
Hopefully a future Ultra will come equipped with a forcefield feature or a built-in shower for riding the Tube.
Well we're coming into warmer weather now so maybe some sort of air purification/external BO repellent system. You get some really funky smells coming from people on the tube at this time of year and they even smell on the way INTO work so god know what they'll smell like on the way back!?
I've seen a few here in Ohio. I am surprised that it is not as popular as the higher end Garmin's (fenix line up), I see those all over the place.
I’m liking the BO repellent idea, that would be better than offering me information on my depth as I walk to the communal kitchen at work.
A tiny refillable cartridge of ‘Creep Spray’ built in to the lugs of the Watch would also be useful for those unwanted conversations as you step on at Hyde Park Corner too

Just saw another couple of Ultras over the weekend and it made me think of this thread. Both had really nice looking metal bands - it's a good looking watch when done up right. 
I saw one!!!! Live!!!
Went to a specialist today at the hospital and he was wearing an AWU with trial loop

Maybe see one a week or so in London. Wondering if people genuinely prefer the smaller form factor of the more subtle AW 5/6/7/8 etc?
I can't go back now, I tried my Series 6 on the other week and seemed far too small on my wrist.
You need to consider that the number of regular Series Watches you see accumulated over a number of years while all Ultras are brand new. Many people keep their Watches for at least 3-4 years, so it‘ll naturally be a while until the Ultra is as ubiquitous as the regular Watch.
