Apple Watch Ultra 2

It’s a great companion to the iPhone integrates perfectly, other than that, the durability is average screen cracks like any other device, , the charging part is still annoying, I never felt confident in the water with it , I seen people that had water damaged in the shower , it’s a cool little device but nothing more , for 800 dollars new it’s questionable, I got mine in December 2023 by January 26 I had cracked the screen in 3 places and is out warranty and all cost to repair the screen it’s just as much as used one , what a waste of equipment

[...] Charge it each morning while I shower and dress and that’s enough time to get it back to full. So far I haven’t seen any wear on the coating and have no scratches on the display. [...] The titanium band is very comfortable, doesn’t trap sweat, dries fast if it gets wet, and seems very durable. [...] It works well for her but personally I like the Ultra better for the brighter display, much better battery life, and better gps which I depend on for cycling. [...]

[...] I didn’t upgrade a year later to the black Ultra 2 because the censor was absent. [...] It’s worth it. My biggest sigh of relief is the battery life. I cannot explain how much anxiety I no longer have because I don’t have to babysit my watch. That alone is worth it. [...] I’ve been hooked since Lime Wire went away and iTunes came about with the addition of the 2nd Generation of the iPod that saved me a ton of money from getting a 100 disc CD Changer installed in my trunk from HiFi Buys or something. [...]

[...] The battery life is a dramatic improvement over the reg AW. [...]

[...] The housing and screen have held up way better than my other Apple Watch. No scratches or scuffs so that’s a plus. [...]

in my area it came in January and that's when I brought my ultra 2 black with milanese loop, used it for 4 months so far, no issues on software except if you put it in pocket it will keep typing random on display which will block the device eventually, as for battery it last me 4 days at most, average 3 days before I need to charge it from 30% or under, as for damage there is none on device even after smashing into a lot of walls and objects of high density but the milanese connection started to show damage. except that it is a perfect watch. my previous s7 aluminum by now was scratched both on display and coating.

I have been using Apple Watch since series 0. [...] But I do like my Apple Watch Ultra (2 or 3, whatever was released this year)

One of the frustrations I've had with a few of Garmin's recent releases is how their high-end MIPS watches, Enduro 3 & Fenix 8 Solar, seem to inherit the same thick, glare-y, ultra-durable glass I assume the Fenix 8 OLED uses, which does a number on the readability of their MIPS displays outdoors. I've never owned the F8 OLED, but I do have an Apple Watch Ultra 2, and the AWU2 is actually more readable than the E3/F8S in all light conditions except high-noon ultra-direct sunlight (which I'm very rarely outdoors in, because, you know, skin cancer). I ended up returning those, and got an Instinct 3 MIPS earlier this year, which is more readable outdoors across a variety of light conditions.

[...] Its significant figures [1]; reporting the value to one or more decimal places communicates a level of confidence inappropriate for how inaccurate these estimations generally are. [...] Clamping pace to 5 seconds is a similar idea. GPS isn't super accurate: within 16 feet some sources say [2], though it gets better if you've got dual band, if you're moving; but it gets worse when you don't have an open sky. Just ten feet of GPS inaccuracy over a ten minute mile means your recorded pace is somewhere between 9:58/mile to 10:02/mile. And, experimentally, these systems are way, way more inaccurate than that: on a recent bike ride, with no major sky obstructions, I wore both an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Garmin Enduro 3; the AWU2 recorded 25.05 miles, Enduro 3 recorded 25.18 miles. [...]

[...] I steered away from Apple on battery life. [...] Tesla Key and Apple Pay wave topping my list along with excellent durability, the sapphire glass and scratch resistant casing. The magnetic charge platform is simple and convenient. as long as my watch can bear up over say 36 hrs I am happy. [...] The Titanium build quality overrides that lack as well. [...]

[...] I use mainly for health due to heart problems so just had it 7 days its shown 2 results arrhythmia also high heart rate which makes difference time to take a break letting the heart rate goes back to normal.sleep monitoring helps to see when the disturbances occur and how long. [...]

better be durable, I've taken my first gen SE everywhere, swimming across the planets oceans, diving, in the shower, workouts, walks, landscaping, gym, whatever, bought it new, still going strong now.

I got my Black Ultra 2 on release day and have used it daily for the gym and everyday stuff. I usually charge it to 100% every other day, and it’s still at 99% battery health. It’s held up surprisingly well — just one scratch on the screen and a couple on the case — but overall, I’m really impressed. I think it was money well spent!

I got the ultra 2 for battery life, but it’s so big it’s difficult to sleep in so I charge it at night anyway. The series 9 didn’t always last the whole day. [...] Now I almost exclusively use my Garmin & have over a week battery life. I don’t notice any features missing, just a different interface so I don’t understand why the battery in Apple Watches is so bad.

[...] I LOVE the action button. [...]

Pretty sure the best "just the basics, doesn't distract" smart phone replacement I've used is my Apple Watch Ultra 2. [...] I leave my phone behind regularly now.

I had two (an OG kickstarter pebble, and the steel), and also suffered screen death. The battery life was incredible, but I don’t know that I could give up the standalone features that the apple watch ultra 2 has. On-device Siri, tap to pay, calling without the phone nearby.. [...]

I recently had to have my ultra 2 replaced when I found a hairline crack right up the screen after I hit the edge of the watch on a door frame (at least that’s the only thing I recall striking it on). I could only see the crack when putting a small amount of moisture on the screen when cleaning it. Apple care + determined it they wouldn’t replace the screen and decided to replace the watch for me. I was so surprised to have the sapphire crack after seeing so many videos of people abusing their watches and it holding up so robustly. [...]

[...] Pretty steady, but my battery is finicky, if that’s the right word. Basically, any Faces other than Numbers Duo drains fairly quick. Overall it drains fast despite capacity being 95% w/Optimized Charging. [...]

[...] Now I have to double tap 4 or 5 times so it can scroll all the way through the notification before finally landing on the first button it comes to, then I'm at the mercy of whatever the first option is -- and it's not always "Dismiss." I get so frustrated with it that I end up manually dismissing it with my other hand. [...]

[...] At this time I own a Apple Watch 6 and have purchased third party Smiling 2 Pack Case Built in Tempered Glass Screen Protector to protect it ever since I had a big gouge on the screen of my previous Apple Watch. [...]

My Ultra 2 watch is 2.5 years old and at 99% capacity, but I have turned it off every night since I got it.

Have the ultra 2 for 2 years now, use it every single day, even sleep with it, 97% battery health😂 maybe i just dont use it that much

I’ve had this watch for 1 year, it’s excellent! In terms of design and features I love it 😍

I have my awu for 4 years and I’m down to 88 percent bro 😅 I’ll keep it another 2 years but I’ll be getting a aw 12 for a secondary watch

Aaron, there is a screen protector available on Amazon that is framed in Titanium or Aluminum. I just got the Black Ultra3 and the Frame is Orange like the Action Button. [...] I had this protector on my Ultra 2 for a year and it held up very well protecting the screen edge against scrapes. [...] Adherence is also very good giving added protection for the screen.

I dont swim so 300 ft is plenty watet resistance for me. If im that deep i aint coming back up🤣. Great watch though its been my daily for 2 years

Got my ultra 2 in Dec 2023, it's always had the 80% charge limit set, used all day everyday and charged every night....battery is still on 100% health.

[...] The square shaped display (just not for me, prefer a round one) and the battery life. I’ve been using Xiaomi S1 for almost 2 years now and both the design and battery are absolutely amazing. [...]

I upgraded from the series 6 to the ultra 2 and I love it I’ve had it almost a year and my battery Health is still at 100%

I've also had an ultra 2 for over a year and forgot double tap even existed until you mentioned it in this video

Mi Apple Watch Ultra black has 90 days since I bought it and the battery health is already at 99% is this normal? I usually charge it at 80% .

[...] I haven't heard a single person complain about it IRL It's not a big design that I got hyped for like iOS 6 but it's fine I have the vision pro, mbp m4, ip15 pro max, apple watch ultra 2, studio display (2026), 2 official keyboards, 2 magic trackpads, ipad (4th gen), 3 homepod 2, 5 homepod mini, airpod pro 3 (I keep buying new airpod pros every time they come out because the improvements are really good). [...]

[...] For most people, the batter is enough for the day of an average use and they charge it at night with their phones. I don't know about the Apple Watch Ultra 2 however and how it compares.

Besides buying a new iPhone, I also picked up an Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black. [...] It’s absolutely not worthwhile for 99.9% of people to get this “upgrade,” but... [...]

I still loved my first ultra isn’t really that bad at all, my battery health degraded to 83% but it lacking updates. Ultra 2 is still good has few years of updates. Since I have ultra 3 in black it is very satisfying to me.

I wear an Apple Watch Ultra 2, which puts me in the minority of runners. I got it when I needed to bridge across my professional, personal, and fitness lives. [...] Battery life, maybe, but I’ve used it for a 100 without issue.

[...] i got the ultra because they can handle anything so i dont have to be scared so much about them.. plus the battery life last 2 days. [...]

[...] Battery health at 85 percent and it gets through a day still. [...]

They update AW ultra every 18 months, so any ultra users can wait until ultra 5 or 6. Im waiting it has 72 hours of battery life and 100 hours in low power mode. [...]

I have the ultra 1 still runs strong still fast still have all the features no real reason to upgrade

I had the series 3 and the battery lasted me like 2-3 days… wym it won’t last you until maybe 2am lol

mine still works fine.. i have the first ultra before 2 just released... i dont need to upgrade coz mine is more heavier than the apple ultra 2 no issues so far

I got the natural titanium ultra watch 2 on release day. I charge to 100 percent. [...] Battery health is at 91%

Being in healthcare I knew I would beat this thing up, so from day 1 I've been using the Casetify bumper, and it's definaterly saved it from scratches.

Man your speech cadence is off putting to me. [...] You have to turn them on from accessibility settings.

[...] I have the Apple Watch Ultra 2. I upgrade my watch and phone every year. [...]

Old series 4, now stay on only for 20hr with battery saving. I would bought a series 9, not 10 I think it’s a joke with “ till 18hours of battery life” without battery saving on. [...] Ultra it’s too expensive for a watch for my needs. What would make me buy again an Apple Watch is a battery life of 3 days without battery saving, and of 5days with it. And a price under 350€.

I do have the Utra II Titanium color and I would like to get the one in the black color. I really do like this model for sure. I will always stick with these Ultra’s….

After the 11.4 AWU update I am unable to answer calls on my AWU2 using the Airpod Pros 2nd Gen (they are updated too). [...]
