Upgraded 2 days ago from the series 7, and I am in love with it. The form, the screen, the unique face, the band - it’s the perfect watch. I feel much more free now to leave my phone behind and the battery life has been incredible so far. Selling my Seamaster as I’ll never wear it now.

Did the same as you

Slow down on selling the Seamaster… it’s also a great watch and will be in 5 years from now. The ultra 2? Not so much.

Im glad this was the first comment I found when scrolling down😂 love my other watches, it kinda bothers me that I’m barely wearing my seiko that I absolutely love or a Gshock but I’m keeping and wearing them from time to time

Got one last Friday and absolutely love it. Honestly, I got it because I liked how it looked, couldn't care less all the other shit it does.

Same for me but that battery and form factor have me hooked. I tried on a friends S8 and it seemed so tiny to me. My U1 is going strong and I only take it off to charge while in shower.

I used mechanical watches and kept needing my watches serviced. I finally went Apple Ultra 2 also. Happy with my decision.

That band is horrible I think

[–] CrtureBlckMacaroons@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I've always had the smaller watch and started amassing a collection of bands (38mm 0 and 3, 40mm 5, and 41mm 8). Had no intention of ever getting the bigger size, because I thought smaller looked better and I had my bands.

I don't know what got into me, but I picked up an Ultra 2 last week and I am so loving it. Now I'm ordering new bands! And it absolutely does not look too big, turns out my wrist aren't small, and the smaller watch may have actually been too small for my wrists. I wore my Series 5 yesterday and it looked tiny.

I just got the ultra 1 first ever apple watch

[–] civilianm@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hey nice ultra!! Can you put this face on the ultra 1?

[–] ouruniverse06131986@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

How’s battery life so far?

[–] Fit-Access9759@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Very nice. Welcome to the club!

[–] BigBoyObi-Wan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

dude where are you where the high is 13 degrees

[–] Sea-Beautiful-611@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Scotland - degrees Celsius to be clear

[–] BigBoyObi-Wan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

aaaah okay didn’t think of that haha

[–] ConesMalone@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Once the contract for my series 8 is up I’m gonna grab one I think

[–] razarivan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Looks good bro. Personally I’d go with textile velcro wristband.

[–] Snoo52211@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Jeah looks like any generic apple watch

[–] Piano_mike_2063@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I simply have small wrists. Just genetics. I think that would look ridiculous on me.

[–] TedMaul636@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

How much do you want for the Seamaster ;)

[–] CannedHeat2828@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

What face is that ? From Facer or no?

[–] pedrohz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I love that watch face. Unfortunately the Ultra is just too large for my tiny wrist, but it if wasn’t… would purchase it right away.

Welcome to the club

[–] Arlucity@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Man I should have gotten the orange. I mean I can still buy it but I think orange would have been nice, currently rocking the blue. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[–] talster71@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Love that strap. What is it?

[–] TwoFamue@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The orange ocean band looks better than I thought

[–] SNOOZDOC@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Any issues seeing the watch face data when in a dark room? I have U2 and perhaps it’s my eyes but it just seems awfully dim and no way to adjust this

[–] Remenissions@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This unfortunately is a known issue with the U2 with no fix currently
