Also no MR article yet but I do have this update too.

Thanks for the YouTube tip. Me and a few mates have jumped on that! Worth it for the ad free videos alone!

And I’m undecided whether to purchase the ultra or not. It is a lot of money for a smart watch!

Is Cyberghost any good fellas. With Cashback its coming upto £10 for 2 years lol
Quidco offering 90% for CyberGhost and Private Internet Access.

Topcashback offering 90% for Nord.

I am currently on the 2 year plan for Cyber ghost - works well. It runs out at the end of the month and I am going NordVPN - only because I can get discount & cash back from perks at work 🙂

I think I would just regret the screen size drop too much.

But isn't the screen size basically the same size as the S8?

Edited to add: screen size on the S8 is only 0.14mm smaller, or 1143 vs 1164 sq mm display area: https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-watch-series-8-vs-apple-watch-ultra/

Managed to convince myself that I could use a MacBook Air for work.
The worrying thing is, my wife approved straightaway… that means I owe her.

Or it means there's a Dior bag currently hidden in one of closets that you are yet to discover.

reminds me of the time my father in law asked my MIL why she had all the empty shoe boxes in the wardrobe. "They're not empty"

Probably means that she has bought or is going to buy something.

Sounds like our wife's are similar 😛

So after a lot of debating with myself I'm keeping the AW Ultra. I like it and I'm sure if I went back to the smaller S8 I'd regret it.
Decision made... Now, do I need to sign up for cellular? Hmmm 🤔

Do you go out a lot without your phone and watch only? I only bought it for running so I have it in case of emergencies really. Probably wouldn’t bother otherwise.
Edit: Talking about cellular, not the ultra!

I’m holding my Series 5 next to my Ultra. It may or may not just be perception but my Ultra’s display does look distinctly bigger then that of my Series 5. Maybe it’s because it has a flat display as opposed to the standard watch’s rounded display. It definitely looks a fair bit bigger to me and a much better experience in using it.

It’s deffo a fair bit bigger than the S5. But compared to the S7/S8 it’s not.

The majority of the 49mm vs 45mm is down to the bulky casing.

I spent the month between ordering and receiving the plus thinking that I’d made a mistake ordering the larger phone.

I’ve had it three days, I was just showing it to my friend, she has the 11. I grabbed her phone to search for something and thought wow, this screen is small .

Well played apple, now next year, if they don’t continue the plus I’ll have to go pro max.

My first proper week with the pro max and I’m sold. The screen just feels ‘normal’ now. Don’t even look at it and think this is the big phone anymore.

Nord VPN is excellent. Can’t speak for the others.

No I’m done now. There is literally nothing else I could justify. 👀
