Watch Ultra 3

Has anyone used an Apple Watch Ultra (3 or older) as their daily carry instead of an iPhone? Any experiences or tips to make the transition more seamless?

I have struggled along with the Mudita Kompakt but realized I need something smart-ish for work apps and calendars. I feel like the Ultra 3 may

I came from the Apple Watch Ultra 1, and its battery was already down to 84%. During my second-to-last marathon, the battery actually died mid-race, and on my last marathon I had to turn off AOD — even then, the battery was down to just 55% by the end.

With the Ultra 3, after a ~3:40 marathon (it w

I’m very routine-driven: I work from home, never travel much, always home by 6PM, runs in the morning, workouts in the afternoo

Ok then it's definitely the App + your battery health. If you do long hikes very regularly, I highly suggest you take a look at Apple Watch Ultra.

We’re basically still on Apple Watch Ultra 1. This next one should have been #2

Quick story:

Have had an Apple Watch Series 6 for a long time (battery lasted less than a day). Decided to upgrade to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 - The battery lasted less than 48 hours (I’m aware that it’s reported at 42). By design, it’s a decent watch, but the battery life is laughable. It’s a joke.
