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 will tell you why I went with ultra (gen 1)…

  • price wise it compares to series 9 steel with LTE and the diffère is only about 100 bucks in Canada So really not that much more…
  • I liked bigger screen
  • I like bigger battery
  • I liked better screen brightness
  • I like sapphire because I tend to hit all sorts of o f things with my wrist
  • I like that is made to play in water and outdoor even if I’m just a weekend warrior for outdoor Titanium is a bonus but it did not weight in on my decision at all. (I have no need for thought outdoor watch)

All in all if money is no object I think it’s worth it. I like mine. No regrets.
