Having been using an original Apple Watch until the Bayern finally died. I decided to look. I was really impressed with the Ultra but after looking and trying it out at the Apple Store I decided not to buy it and got a base model Apple Watch series 8. I am retired and I just could justify in my mind a good reason to get the ultra.
 
I keep adding it to my cart and then deciding I don't want it... over and over again.

Found it in stock today. Came close to committing. Then, cold feet
My S5 isn’t holding its charge well anymore (too many long daily hikes with GPS tracker on). Guaranteed it‘ll switch to low power mode a couple of hours before bed & that’s without recording a workout during the day.
So I’ve been doing exactly what you did - adding & removing from the cart all week - but I’ve finally taken the plunge.
I figure it’s twice the price but I should get significantly more years out of it due to the battery size.
 
I have had mine for a few weeks now and could not be happier. I am still uncomfortable not putting it one the charger nightly like my S6, so I just slap it on for maybe 30 minutes at bedtime and put it back on my wrist.

I just pulled the trigger on the Ultra using their 2 year no interest plan....I'll keep it for a week and then decide if it's what I really want then either keep it or send it back.

Mine’s arriving today & I have a charity walk this evening, so it’ll be a good opportunity to give it a test run & see if it’s for me or not.
An earlier post from someone gave me a great idea for using my old S5 just for sleep tracking. Battery should just about last the night lol
