Ultra 2 opinions

[Badda]

As above. I’d like to move from my garmin and the ultra 2 appeals. Any real world thoughts?

Decent watch, 2-day battery, fast and smooth, great GPS, but watch the health stuff - mine kept losing HR, and I ended up getting a chest strap for running with it. I actually traded it for an AW10, and that... is exactly the same. Very poor, Apple forum all suggest 'you're wearing it wrong, etc' but I tried both wrists, inside and outside, tight, loose... all did it. The Pixel Watch I also own is much better in this regard, and also has better sleep tracking if you're bothered about that. Not as smooth, though, and a bit laggy.

Thanks for that, I’m keen on health metrics so that’s good for thought.

Really keen on mine; tracks everything I need it to and it's been very accurate so far; better than my previous Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra

Plus I think it's a much better looking watch

I've a number of straps for mine; mainly Ultimal velcro straps as they fit my large wrists best; but have a nice leather strap and 'titanium' strap - all via Amazon for not silly money









I use the Spigen or ESR cases too and screen protector; keeps the watch mark free from when I'm training, or gardening, of faffing with the cars etc

Thanks Dan, just one from Apple - I went for a ti finish with green alpine loop strap.
My wrists aren't as big as yours so I'm hoping it won't look too big.

Yeah; I've had the AWU and AWU2; bought the black AWU2 first time around but prefer the natural titanium; better for strap matching

I always use a case with mine and a screen protector; want to keep it mark/damage free, more so when I'm training etc

Love it so far.

Struggling to chose which face is best though, too much choice!

They are a superb smart watch...

I've loads of different faces. Tend to match them with the strap colour I'm wearing that day haha







As an example these two for my Ultimal orange rugged strap.
