Why the Ultra? (alien.top)

If you bought an Ultra, why did you choose se it over the regular Apple Watch?

When I saw it announced last year, I thought to myself “no one is going to buy that”. I just thought there were too few features that most people don’t need. But now I see them everywhere. I don’t see the appeal of increased battery life being worth twice the price of the standard watch.

Why did you buy the Ultra and is it worth the price to you?

Prove me wrong I guess?

I’ve had the Apple Watch 6 since it came out. Every new watch that came out after that always felt only geared towards women. When they came out with the temperature sensor I thought wow that’s innovative, you’ll be able to get an early sign for when you’re sick…nope. Just an ovulation sensor for women again. I honestly don’t understand how the team at Apple that designs these sees slightly faster processor and a feature only geared to women as a great new innovation worthy of a new watch. What about the other 50% of your customers? When I saw the ultra watch s2 and the trade in value of my 6, I decided why not. The 9 doesn’t impress me much either, and if I’d already had the ultra s1 I wouldn’t have bothered to upgrade but I’m loving the ultra s2. Even for someone like me who hardly ever hikes or anything like that, I’m loving the extra screen space, the faster on device Siri, the modular ultra watch face and the amount of complications I can have on the screen.
