I am having a tough time deciding which Apple watch to get, I keep going back and forth between the Series 9 and the Ultra 2. I currently have a series 6 that I bought brand new when it came out and the battery capacity is now at 82%. It is also only GPS and I would like to upgrade to a watch with cellular. I originally got the watch at the recommendation of my electrocardiologist for the ECG abilities and I use the health features regularly.
So again, the reason for upgrade is a watch with cellular, but I would also like a better battery life. I am a fairly small woman, and my series 6 is the 44 inch sized screen, I think I could handle going up to larger sizes though. I am not an outdoorsy type of person and when I exercise it is nearly always indoors but I am a little bit seduced by the better battery life of the ultra 2 - especially since I want a cellular watch this time. However, I have seen conflicting information as to whether or not the health data is better on the series 9 or the Ultra 2.
Anyway, this is all to ask, which would you all get? Below is a pic of my current watch on my wrist. Thanks!

I’ve had my Ultra 2 for about 2 weeks now, coming from a S7. Initially I was worried about the size, as my wrists aren’t that big. But it turns out it was a non issue, as it looks great. The best thing is the battery life. I was getting a day of normal use with the S7, but now I get almost 2 and a half days, and it charges up super quick as well, so I’ve had zero worries on that front. I love the extra complications that you get with the ultra, but in all honesty I don’t use mine for those types of outdoor activities. They just look cool. Outside of those dedicated functions, I think they both operate the same, so it’s down to personal preference and what you want to get out of the watch. The price will also play a factor, as it’s a big jump up from the S9! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the upgrade, whichever option you pick.
