Series 9 or Ultra 2?

[nightcap965]

I had my bucks ready for a black Ultra 2. I don’t dive or run marathons or climb jagged cliffs, but I’d like a bigger face and better battery life, and a tougher crystal is also a plus - I’ve broken two Apple Watches thus far. When the only Ultra 2 offered turned out to be silver, I decided I’d just go for a Series 9 and pre-ordered one.

But I’ve been bugged ever since that I never even tried an Ultra 2 on my wrist. The Series 9 isn’t even here yet and I’m experiencing buyers remorse. Am I nuts? Should I send the 9 back and head for an Apple Store on Friday?

Since you've already ordered the Series 9, can you try that and see how you like it first? If you find you keep wanting the AWU2, return the 9 within its return period.

Make an appointment for the Apple Store for Friday and try on the Ultra. If it fits you well, I would return the Series 9, seeing how it won't give you more battery life and isn't as big as the Ultra, which are two things you said you wanted.

Popped by the Apple Store today. The Ultra 2 was big, bulky, heavy, and not particularly attractive on my wrist. I think I made the right decision with the Series 9. But it’s nice to have seen them side by side.

It is good you were able to make an in person decision that works best for you.

I have the Ultra 2 and actually prefer the Series 9 design. But I’m a HEAVY Apple Watch user and the battery life on the regular watches won’t cut it for me. If you can, I’d stick with the Series 9.

I have a small wrist and currently using Ultra 1st gen. It's super bulky and I am tempted to trade it in for Series 9.

I had the Ultra 1. Switched to a Series 9 SS this year and am very happy with the decision.

I loved the Ultra battery and “novelty” (which wore off over time), but it was just too large for me.
