Which iPad do you use? I currently have a 12.9 Pro for work, but I feel it’s too big to use comfortably without a desk. Still great for travel though.
I’ve been looking at the iPad Mini to add to the set, but worried it might be too redundant.

It takes a little bit for it to swap over. I was upset the first time I tried it, but didn’t realize this.
If that’s not the issue the watch is definitely defective and needs to be serviced/looked at.
Yes and no.
Work life? No. Unfortunately I need my phone everywhere I go. Emails, phone calls, texts, etc. While I could do it all on the Ultra, it feels clunky and is faster on my phone.
Vacation/off-time? Yes. I’ve recently bought a camera (R50) specifically so that I won’t feel the need for my phone since that’s what I mainly use my phone for during that time anyway.
I’m actively trying to reduce my phone usage though, and can see moving to smart watches completely in the future. The biggest daily obstacles right now that force me to bring a phone during off time:
-
Uber and Lyft can’t be ordered from the watch, only given updates after ordered from the phone. Ordering rides used to be supported, hopefully it will come back.
-
Apple CarPlay is not supported with just the watch. Fingers crossed an update will give the watch CarPlay support.
Not who you were asking, but I had a series 5, then got the Ultra. Apple offered me only $40 for the Series 5 so I kept it for a while to wear at home since it was smaller and lighter than the Ultra. Ended up giving it to my brother who broke his series 4.
Now I’m missing having a smaller watch so I’ve been looking to add a Series 8 to wear with long sleeves and sleep tracking. I like the Ultra for the beach/battery life.
I’ve considered just getting the SE, but I like the temp tracking on the Series 8.
