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 was aiming for a stainless steel Apple Watch for its cellular and sapphire glass so the Ultra isn’t that far off. I expected the Ultra to be much higher in price because this is Apple but was surprised that it is barely more expensive than the stainless steel ones.

As a runner, the dual band GPS does make the turns more sharp and accurate as compared to my SS Series 5. Also the battery life allows me to attend running activities with my running clubs right after work as compared to my SS Series 5 which is usually like 30-40% battery life by 6pm.
