sorted byFrom what I’ve read though, blood ox is very unreliable on all smart watches right now. Early adoption is an important step in the development of these technologies (pulse measurements for example have become quite accurate). But I wouldn’t rely on the Blood Oxygen measurements even for fitness tracking, let alone medical emergencies.
I was considering upgrading my S5 for pulse ox (for fitness tracking), but will wait a few more gens now.
I’ve used all the versions apart from the ceramic and Hemes versions since the series 3. Use for fine tuned notifications, running, cellular, music, messages and of course telling the time. The Ultra is no different from the standard model in those regards. You get a chunky watch on your wrist which is very light and durable. Battery life is relatively impressive too.
It’s a personal choice if you like it though. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Ultra 2 gets slimmer. A lot of people recharge their devices overnight, therefore the battery life doesn’t bother them unless they are a heavy user. By all accounts, not everyone is a heavy user, or they aren’t a heavy user every day and they don’t need sleep tracking.
The titanium finish is interesting, it’s solid however it will scratch, the stainless steel graphite coated watches are proper scratch resistant in comparison.
After a month of owning my Ultra, I reverted back to my standard size Apple Watch. It feels tiny in comparison and I had to to double check it was the 45mm and not the 41mm! Took me a few days to adapt and I am not missing the Ultra anymore. The Ultra has its place, and naturally loads of people will buy it for the design and because it’s the latest and greatest from Apple, however, I can’t see it catching on unless it’s slimmed down. A lot of Apple loyal people will buy this, however, they won’t use its full capability. It’s more of a fashion statement (there will be lovers, and there will be haters).
It’s like comparing the standard iPhone non pro version to the pro max version either. The price you pay, will you be using all the extra features apart from a decent camera? However, some people prefer a bigger phone, and I respect that.
For the price, compared to the other watches, it’s fantastic value even at full cost. At this discounted price, it’s a bargain. Just make sure it’s something you will utilise as most of us will use it as fashion accessory. (edited)
I know I can get more notification because watch always with me so i will be distracted more , track my steps etc , Temperature , Heart rate and what to do with these results
I will know from car to office I use 20 steps burn 3 calories and my heart rate is 80 etc and my temperature 36.6
Now I know this data that from my car to office 3 calories burn it is change my life ? Im become more active
I do see maybe it is good to buy if you sport person and need device to track your results
But general office person what you gain getting this watch compare to cheap watch for say £100 ?
Do not argue about technical details yes it is very good watch I'm more interested after I will spent £700 how is my life will improve ? Because for £700 you can have 40 x 12 = 480 1 Year Gym training where it is improve your health and you left for another year
Because I got galaxy watch 3 and now got Pixel Watch with LTE and got spare galaxy watch 5 I can see all the data but then start think and what I can see heart rate I can see steps but I'm not slimmer
and then start thinking LTE watch they use cellular data so more radiation to my hand because antennas close to my body So im using watch all day long plus night want to use track my sleep just do not know why i need to track my sleep So my LTE watch radiate to my hand constant radiation and make me healthier
I saw YouTube massive argument where people complain about smart Elec meter because they transmits data constantly but these elec meters 5 meters away from humans Bu they all wear smart watch with LTE on the hands (edited)
Thats why, the majority don’t know what it is.
Considering Apple devices actually get some of the best support possible for upwards of 5-7 years.
I am going to order one from Apple and try it for a week then send back, just to see what the fuss is about. I think It is too big for me really but if I do end up liking it I'll pick one up cheaper after the Ultra 2 comes out.
It ultimately will end up worthless and at the bottom of a sock drawer so no point spending more than £300/400 for a smartwatch. I know that applies to smartphones too but you NEED one of those in life nowadays, you don't really NEED a smartwatch (unless you have cardio issues to monitor).

Either that or you just paid full price for one and are slightly peturbed
Yes those two band options are awful but you are making a great saving here to just buy another band
MyMemory have some great deals on genuine Apple bands, cheap because they are discontinued colours/options
Most of them are reduced anyway and then have a £12 off code !

42mm, 44mm and 45mm bands are compatible with each other and with this watch
38mm, 40mm and 41mm bands are compatible with each other, BUT NOT for this watch (edited)
Think about it...
Yeah, BONKERS!
So many people have commented on its appearance etc.
If JL does it normally for 849, this surely either is sold at a loss (or offset against the lifetime valuation from selling additional Costco memberships+goods, to the Apple users who are normally higher spenders) or near cost price? Can't see someone who runs a ship as tight as apple would let retailers have more than a single digit margin. (edited)
