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 š Congrats on the find!

Seems more chill than before, when I went to the Apple Store to buy the ultra 2 I was left alone on the mountain in the dead of winter with a spear and a wolf, and my reward for coming back down was the watch.

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

What has convinced me, as I sit here wearing an AWU2 and FR 970, is how Apple are bringing some of the features to older models that can support it, something Garmin really needs to start doing. Take the evening report: how on earth can that not be added to older models? I know they donāt want to du

It used to be that companies would try to attract new customers to generate more revenue. Still, now they seem to be continually increasing the charges for their existing customers instead. I own two MacBook Airs, two iPhone 15 Pro Maxes, two Ultra 2 watches, an Apple TV, and the Apple services bund

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

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.

Shouldn't be as they are not introducing any new hardware/sensors. Just the chip. But the chips are already overkill on Apple Watches.I bought the relaunched AWU2 last year, will only update when either 1) breaks down/battery no longer usable or 2) Apple brings proper hypertension scanners/glucose m

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

I always had nice watches pre Apple Watch, sold the last one as I never wore it anymore. Kind of missed that luxurious look and feel and this gives me the best of both worlds, feels and looks luxurious with all the functionality hidden away. Kept my AWU2 for fitness/sports and will swap between them
