Apple Watch is the ultimate device for a healthy life. Available in three models: Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch SE.

Anyone getting one? If so then what variant?
I’ve just put in an order for an Ultra 2 with a trail loop.

Going to skip this one. If the 10 does temp then that’ll be a winner.

 

[Broken Hope]

Ultra 2 ordered with trail loop.

Still on a 4 which is going strong. Think I’ll wait for the 10, nothing stood out for me today and the Ultra is a bit too big and expensive.

I'm still on the series 3, the battery is done but it still works so I'll probably leave it for now.

 

[Broken Hope]

3 series has no OS updates, even an SE would be a worthwhile upgrade.

Seeing the replies we have definitely reached the point where even if it’s struggling a little bit or just doing the job people won’t upgrade for the sake of it.

I’ve just clocked that the refurb for the 45mm S8 has gone down to £320 which is a great deal as well.

Was hoping for a new colour Ultra 2 with the new chip and even better battery life.

Will probably end up picking one up, still like the watch but would have preferred different colourways.

My current fitbit is at deathsdoor with a nice crack that keeps getting bigger.

Not sure why though, it doesn't really do anything that my existing one doesn't already do. Sure its better but it doesn't mean its 'worth' spending my money on it.

It's going to be a strange thing to see people double tapping in the wild.

Might jump on that (although I don’t want a white sport loop - suppose I can sell it!) as it’s hard to justify paying the extra for the 9 given what little an upgrade it is.

 

[BMox81]

I’ve got a friend who is taking my S7 off my hands so put in an order for a 45mm Midnight S9 with Nike Loop.

 

[HACO]

I will only buy one when they add blood glucose monitoring.

Better battery life and this would get my vote...
WatchX will probably be my next natural upgrade..

 

[Stu999]

Is the watch charger stand thing usb-c?

Some post mentioned that the X would be a redesign too, so it definitely feels like a waste to get the 9 given not much has changed.

I’m still on a 2 series which I bought when it came out originally. No real reason to upgrade apart from the usual case of upgradeitis. I get it every year about now but I’ve not succumbed yet

I’d say if you are on a Series 2, moving up to a S9 would be a substantial upgrade in every sense. But like I said earlier we’re at this point in time people at this point are just happy to shrug and say “it works” and keep their device.

Great for the consumer and also a blessing and a curse for Apple for sure.

 

[ShortWarning]

I'm on 6 and other than the battery only just lasting a night/day now (used to have a bit more leeway at the end of a day) I can't see any good reason to upgrade.

If the Ultra 1 drops in price significantly I'd consider it though.

 

[Combat Fighter]

Still can’t believe how bad the battery life is on these. Even the new ultra 2 can only manage 36 hours in normal use. Pathetic!

Just seems light years behind Garmin.
