Look how big Apple Watch Ultra is on a small wrist!

I doubt many will buy this as a piece of jewelry, but as a tool, so does it matter?
It would look ridiculous in situations which isn’t “extreme” adventure
Why ? .... large watches are commonplace ...... personal choice really
Living in a metropolitan area, few people I see wear very large watches.
Thats what YOU see .... doesnt make a large watch ridiculous other than your opinion .... many wear Garmin adventure watches in every day life ..... like i say personal choice
They are common, I agree. But they still look ridiculous on smaller wrists.
I asked some more people around me, seems I’m not the only one with the opinion. Of course we’re not representing everyone, no one is.
Yes it’s personal choice, as is not wearing a watch that completely engulfs your wrist.
I loved big watches. I previously had Invicta diver watches and Movado digital bold. The only time it was a pain was with some dress shirts.
‘Not so at all. My wrists are average and I look forward to the added screen size and features.
Finally normal size!! Was waiting for this since the beginning of times.
100% agree. It's a good start. For one the battery life needs some improvement. 60 hours on optimization is great for an AW but not someone who wears a Fenix every day. They can get 60 hours on one workout depending on the mode.
It'll be interesting to see the second and third generation Ultra's. Hopefully by then they've increased battery life to 4-5 days. The pipe dream is solar like the Instinct series. Until then i'm happy to use my Fenix 6s Pro for camping and other outdoor adventures and my Series 7 for almost daily wear.
Yes, it was in the presentation.
I have smaller wrists, can’t do it.

I can guarantee you that there’s a good chance heart rate accuracy will be negatively impacted for small wrist people. The same thing happens with Fenix 7X models and even the standard Fenix. It’s just not going to sit still on a small wrist.
I wish they’d improved battery life of series 8 more, but I’m glad that my series 7 gets the low power mode.
As interesting as the Ultra is, I don’t think I can pull of the size, and I don’t want to give up all my current bands/straps.

If you want real comparisons look at posts from people at the demo now. There are dozens posted on social media. Will give a better idea of the size.
It's only 4mm bigger than the current 45mm series 7.
That can be a huge difference for those with smaller wrists. My 51mm Fenix 5 is a beast on my wrist. Meanwhile my 45mm series 7 is about the perfect size.
I'd love to see Apple go the Fenix route and introduce two models of the Ultra - 49mm and 45mm for those with smaller wrists.
I think it is interesting that so many claim to be interested in other people's wrists. I never notice anyone else's watch. I just don't care what other people are wearing and I don't notice it. I was in a meeting today with 45 other people and I could not tell you whether any one of them was wearing a watch - let alone which watch
Looks massive on this guys wrist, lol.
Luckily I'm a big, strong guy. 👍🏻
