I saw so many people got the Watch Ultra is it worth spending so much on a watch? I'm planning to get Watch 8 but Ultra is tempting!
 
After 4 days of staring at it in its box, I finally unboxed it and set it up. It’s not much bigger than my S4 and don’t feel bulky or heavy at all. I love this watch and will be adding more bands to it today.

Curious why you waited so long to open it?

Ps: I like that mat, near the kitchen sink…

Thank you. I bought the mats off of Amazon. I ordered 2 Ultras. 1 with Verizon for the $150 off in device credits and through Apple, which is the one I was going to return, until UPS lost the Verizon order. I opened the Apple order last night and have to follow up with Verizon regarding the lost order.
 
Anyone else always torn between the small vs big sport band? I’m on the 3rd tightest on the big and 3rd biggest on the small.

I never know which is a better fit. 🤣

So they are compatible?
Correct. Apple says it is designed to fit 44/45 bands alongside the new 49 bands. They don’t mention 42mm, which as we know is technically compatible with 44/45 already. This is believed to be because older 42mm bands from Apple do leave more play and gap, but it’s minimal.

Your experience using 44/45mm bands on Ultra will not be an issue - it typically has little or no gaps that you wouldnt already have seen using a 44/45 size case anyway.

 
The benefits of having an Apple Store 5 mins away. Check for in store pick up and boom, home in an hour. I also prefer my OG bands over the Alpine Loop. That is being sold ASAP. Now let's see if my stainless steel series 7 survives lol

Is this your first apple watch? If so get the S8. Many of us are excited with the new design, especially myself coming from series 0 and 5, I have no intention to spend that much again on S8 which have the same design ever since and knowing there is very little resell value on it
