Why the Ultra? (alien.top)

If you bought an Ultra, why did you choose se it over the regular Apple Watch?

When I saw it announced last year, I thought to myself “no one is going to buy that”. I just thought there were too few features that most people don’t need. But now I see them everywhere. I don’t see the appeal of increased battery life being worth twice the price of the standard watch.

Why did you buy the Ultra and is it worth the price to you?

Prove me wrong I guess?

My main reason is I work outside. I had a series 6 that I was just going to continue on with when the Ultra was announced. Then my job changed to working outdoors in the middle of winter. The standard watch is rated for around 30 degrees (F) on the lower end while the Ultra is rated for -4 degrees (F). With temps in Michigan getting lower than that I decided to get the watch that would handle the environments I was going to be working in. It’s also proven to be very rugged for all the banging around I’ve had to put it through as well. No regrets at all.
