Just picked up my new Ultra 3 black with the alpine band, upgraded from my Series 9 stainless 45mm model. Had it up and running and the new screen configuration in no time at all.
Got a tip for us?

I just upgraded to the U3 from the AW S10 and I have been extremely impressed with the battery life and overall premium build of the watch compared to the aluminum body Apple Watches I have owned in the past.
I just got 53 continuous hours of wear with a couple of tracked walks, 1 "way point usage" just because and sleep tracking the last 2 nights in addition to my normal every day use with calls, texts and emails... and this thing still had 24% juice left after all of that.
I'm loving this upgrade.
I have the series 9 45mm stainless steel and was considering getting the Ultra 3 and then I back off getting it. Its a great watch and like the satellite feature but realistically will never use it but its not s game changer for me to get it so will stick with the 9
I upgraded from the S10 aluminum AW to the Ultra 3 recently and I am loving it so far. The battery life alone has made the upgrade worth it in my opinion.
I’m sitting on 61 hours of continuous wear and use and still have 25% life left and have not used the low power mode once.
