I'm not a fan of the Ultra, but I think it looks good on your wrist. I would definitely keep it.

How do you figure? If smaller means less battery life and that’s what someone is looking for, why would they switch?
Cause its too big? I know hell switch. Why would anyone want a Watch too big?
Obviously not if people are buying it and happy with it. And if BIG means longer battery life, and that’s what people want, why would they go smaller if the smaller model means less battery life?
No big meaning too big? Shoes can be too big without batteries? Im not native maybe Im missing something?
You’re most definitely missing something. I’m saying those that have bought the Ultra for more battery life are not gonna buy a smaller Ultra with less battery life.
If one buys an Ultra for just style and looks, but feel the Ultra is too big, sure they will jump ship to a smaller version and keep the looks, style and function, but will just have battery life similar to an AW8.
Not sure how much clearer I can be. This concludes the time I will be using to explain this.

Talking about wolverine, the Ultra is Huuuge Jackman….I always tried to imagine Wolverine's claws retracting into my wrists and they seem too small for that. Maybe that's a fun thought experiment to see if your wrist is big enough for the Ultra.

It's a nice wrist. It kinda looks like my wrist and I think I have nice wrists, too.
I also like your choice of toothpaste.
On a more serious note: It's the sort of watch size I'd pick, I think. I used to wear G-Shocks as I like "bulkier" watches. The 45mm Apple Watch almost feels a bit small to me but I'm not in the market for an Ultra.

The Ultra looks amazing on every person I've seen wearing it, including you.
You should not worry so much about how others think about you. If you think it looks good, that is what is important.
I Think it looks perfectly sized. I’m not even on the fence with it on you.
Everyone on here telling you not to care what people think… whatever. We all care in some form what people think. Society in general would be better if more people cared about other people’s opinions instead of just barreling through life saying “it’s my life” (Maybe not in terms of tech style, but still).
One suggestion I’ve noticed with mine. I had the nomad orange band and that made it look larger. Just drew more attention - as orange does. When I wear an OD green color Apple Watch band, it visually shrinks significantly. There is a lot to perceived size that comes from the band style. You can keep playing with that until you have some you like. But in terms of the setup you have, I think it looks great while still giving you an option to mute the colors if you wanted to.
