Would you get a refurbished watch ultra 1, or save up to get the new ultra 2? That is my current position. Last watch I owned was the series 6. Got my new pro max 512 today, need a watch and am in this predicament. Opinions appreciated.

If it’s JUST the battery life, absolutely go for the Ultra 1! The S9 chip that’s in the 9 and Ultra 2 is a big upgrade putting Siri on the chip to help with dictating texts into your watch and making the “double pinch” motion recognizable with less battery drain (that motion has been an accessibility option since I think the 4) so if either of those are important to you then save up for an U2:

As long as its an ultra, 1 or 2, then its a winner!

Get the old one if you can get it a decent price. I don't know what the new things are in the Ultra 2, but as far as I can tell there's very little difference.
