A quick look at the second-hand market - at least here in Europe (I've checked GER and CH) - shows there are lots of Ultras up for sale. Prices will start dropping soon if it continues that way. Many a lambda person bought one of these out of curiosity and now realizes the normal AW is both better-looking, cheaper, and has 99% of the features.
OTOH, try searching for a used Titanium S7... good luck.
Another day, another pastel. With Beryl and a very cute baby astronaut 🥰 still rocking the timeless ceramic.
Of course many people were curious about the Ultra and some of them decided it isn‘t for them. The rest of your post is just personal opinion or predictions that will have to prove themselves in the future. My personal prediction is that the „40-50% depreciation after a year when the next model is released“ rule will hold true for the Ultra just like it did for all other Apple Watches ever. If anything, I would expect all Watches to start holding their value a little better because the year-on-year updates are becoming quite incremental now that the category itself is getting mature.
Ti Series models are probably hard to find … because they didn‘t sell well in the first place.
Of course it is - based on empirical observation of a non-representative sampling of online secondhand / auction shops in CH and GER. I never said it was an universal truth.
That being said, I agree (and hope) Watches in general will hold their value a bit better, going forward.
Now that's a fact. Now I wonder if they sold better or worse than Ceramic, in its time.
I’ve got a series 6 space black titanium 44mm in great condition for sale in the U.K. if anyone is interested.
I have my Watch Ultra with the Ocean Band and I love its combo... I also have the Trail Loop but it's a bit weak compared to the ruggedness of the Watch Ultra! therefore the Ocean Band is the one I wear everyday...
This is the olive solo loop, I love it so much, it looks much better than the previous khaki solo loop.
Looks cool. That's just the Modular watch face, isn't it? I love the black-on-white look of the colour scheme.This is the olive solo loop, I love it so much, it looks much better than the previous khaki solo loop.
Wow love that combo looks amazing! Is that really Graphite stainless steel watch? It almost looks like a silver stainless steel one?
Exactly this ^
It's the Graphite, but the light here is a little bit strange.
Graphite gets mistaken for Silver SS a lot in photos. The only reason is because Graphite is very reflective just like Silver SS and looks much lighter in brighter settings. But the difference is very noticeable particularly in person. The Silver has a much cooler finish while graphite is a lot warmer/darker in hue but both with high reflectivity. Graphite in darker settings gets darker as well making it more of a chameleon finish.
