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 just got an Ultra 2 and have a Series 6. I love the Ultra series for a few reasons. I am a 44yo engineer/cyclist.
I like the brighter display on the Ultra 2 over the Series 9 and or Series 6, this also comes in handy as a fairly bright flashlight.
If you can tolerate the size, the Ultra 2 will have better sleep tracking because of the temp sensor and battery life.
Love the flat display. It’s just so much more aesthetically pleasing to me. I upgraded from S4 and love my ultra 2 even as a woman with slim wrists. Battery life is great. The size only bothers me at times at night (mainly how thick the watch is) but I hadn’t been wearing a watch to sleep at all before since my s4 didn’t do sleep tracking and battery didn’t last a day in the past few years.
