Loving it so far. The difference with the screen brightness in full outdoor sunlight is extreme: I was able to read and see everything without an issue. The larger size takes some getting used to but I got over it within the first hour. It’s a great looking device. And far lighter than I anticipated. Pictured with the white and orange alpine loop bands.

Hello, has someone tried their old Braided Solo Loops on their new Ultra? Do you think they still mostly fit, or are they slightly looser on the bigger case?
I've purchased a Braided Solo for my dad but he's receiveng his AW Ultra tomorrow and I'm wondering it the BSL size still apply to the Ultra. Thanks!
I don’t think anyone replied to you, but my Ultra arrived today and it seems the larger case size does affect the sizing on the BSL (which makes sense). I’m normally an 8 on the BSL and Solo Loops and now they’re too big on my wrist with the Ultra. I’d probably take a 7 or maybe even a 6 now. Kinda sucks, but it is what it is I guess.

That's the feedback I was looking for, thanks...
 
??? This is SO beautiful.
Ultraviolet is a unicorn. Is the band really that vibrant purple or it's darker in person?
Is it like this 12 ProMax case? The Amethyst color?

It’s that vibrant. It’s from another dimension compared to most bands outside Capri and Bright Green and Flamingo BSL. Blue Horizon is another one they really maxed out the vibrance on like no other dark blue has enjoyed.

The gold case looks way more colorful than IRL because the band needs the vibrance jacked up so high. First time I’ve really had to sacrifice gss7 accuracy.

Ultra with Ink Leather Link.

I quite like this colour combination, what do others think?

Also I have a 178mm wrist. I’d like some honest feedback if the watch looks too big on my wrist or whether it looks fine?

I ordered with an Alpine Green Loop but don’t think the Alpine strap looks great on me due to the lugs.

Some asked for leather strap pix……..I don’t think the dress ones will look right. Not crazy about the loop ones either …too thin looking.
Leather strap is a knockoff……..and of course the SS is made by Nomad…..the loop is Apple

BUT my Nomad SS link looks awesome …….
Went to order the Nomad Titanium strap for my Ultra this morning only to find out they have a bit of a back log.

Looks very good on your wrist. Not too big at all.

I love all of the SS photos. While I am super excited to receive my new Apple Watch Ultra, I will miss the SS finish. I completely understand why SS is not an option for the Apple Watch Ultra. I am debating if I should keep my 45mm SS watch and if I will even use it. Do any of you own (and actually use) more than one Apple Watch?
i had/have 2 series 4 watches: 1 SS silver and 1 SG alum. Originally the SS was for work, shopping and the alum was for working out and sleeping. Then it got to the point that I just trade them back and forth as their batteries die.

I only got one 8 (and still contemplating returning it and getting the 7 graphite SS) and just put one of the 4's on while the 8 charges.
