I’ve been interested in an Apple Watch for a while now, but I haven’t been keeping up with any electronic watch since the series 3. I looked at the help thread, but posts there seemed to go unanswered so I’m trying here.

I’ve been interested in the ultra, but it looked bulky and the features seemed a bit overkill for what I need, so the series 9 might be my go to. However, I’d like a 3rd party’s opinion.

I am fairly active being in the gym and on runs 6-7 days a week. I participate in Spartan events and plan on going to at least 4 or 5 next year. These include a fairly fast movement of the wrist in addition to copious amounts of mud and swimming through shallow ponds. I do hike and scuba/dive, but those happen once every 2-3 years

In terms of job, I’m a dentist and have had no issues wearing an analog watch at the job. Unless there’s any issue I’m not thinking of, that should be a non-factor

Based on this, should I get the series 9? Or do you think another one would be a better fit.

Thank you for your time

If you are into the Adventure lifestyle and/or want a bigger and brighter display, longer battery life, better durability, and/or simply like it (and can afford it), get the Apple Watch Ultra, if not get the regular Apple Watch.
