I use my Apple Watch Ultra when I teach confined water (pool) sessions because I like the bright easy to read screen for the timer. I’m on my second Watch, because on the first one the depth gauge would randomly stop working or not activate. Apple “repaired” it twice before they replaced it, claimin

I started with an Apple Watch, moved to a Fenix 6, then went back and forth between different watches for a while before eventually settling on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Since then, I’ve tried the Fenix 7, Instinct, and several others.But I always end up coming back to my AWU2.Why? Convenience. The A

I have surfed with my AWU2 basically every day since they were released - ocean or wave pool - with no problems at all. You should have been just fine doing what you did, day after day after day. I have done the same with my previous (non-Ultra) Apple Watches too, ever since whichever version it was

I had a similar thing happen on Swappa. Bought my black AWU2 for like $400 (insanely good price given this was December) and the damn thing came with YEARS of AppleCare+ as well. I am never selling it 😂 Congrats on the find!

Easy fix! I use the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and have completed multiple marathons with it. I had music, GPS activity tracking, cellular connectivity, always-on display, and it was not even on low power mode. Essentially, I had everything running normally, and after my marathon, I still had over 60% batt

Same here. My level of stress dropped precipitously by not using my Apple Watch. Been a month. I’ll wear the Apple Watch occasionally. Anyone looking for a cheap preowned ultra 2?

It is great. I use it daily, and I also own a Balance 2 and an Apple Watch Ultra 2. Have had 3 top Garmin (latest Fenix 8 which I sold last week). Still this one my daily driver; great looks and features, confort to wear despite the size.

I recently made the switch from the AWU2 to the Fenix 8 because I mainly used my watch for sports and health—essentially the same priorities you have. I have to say, I am completely satisfied with the change. The Garmin gives you much more insight into your health, recovery, Body Battery, Training R

You keep saying the original Apple Watch “should” inherit features that the hardware was not designed for. But the features introduced with AW2 (like sleep apnea detection) are dependent on the processing power & architecture of the S9 chip’s neural engine. Yes, AWU2 has mostly the same sensors, but

Apple Watch Ultra 2. Very happy with it. It’s my usual daily driver, so I use it for tons of other stuff than tracking runs. How I’ve heard some describe it is Apple Watches are smartwatches with some workout tracking features, whereas Garmin is a fitness watch with some smartwatch features.
