*** The official Apple Watch Series 9, 10 (and Ultra 2) thread (it has double tap and everything!) ***

I think needs to drop below 80% to be classed as "consumed" which would then qualify for a battery replacement (aka. whole unit replacement but for battery price)

Presuming you have some level of Apple care presumably?

Well if it's under warranty / applecare it would just be a free replacement. If it's out of warranty it's a replacement but for the cost of a battery (since they don't do battery repairs for watches).

Source: i did this with my wife's Series 6 not too long ago.

Disclaimer: they may do battery repairs on newer models
 
Anyone on here got a new Ultra 2 black version? Just wondering how scratch resistant the coating is on the case compared to the normal one?

I haven't got one, but everything I've read up to now indicates that if I did have one, it wouldn't stay black very long.
 
Again, I don't own one, so feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt, but there were quite a few mentions on macrumors about how some people had scratched the coating on their watch after a couple of weeks, and this guy's videos should carry a trigger warning for scratchy noises, but he's very thorough!

I've put a photo of my old apple watch series 4 on here before, and let me assure you, that coating wouldn't last a month on my wrist. I've got the ultra 2 vanilla, and I've already got a few nicks around the edges after 8 months of ownership!

Thanks for that. i'm honestly still ltempted as I use a leather strap with a cover on my watches.
 
I'm looking at buying myself a new watch, I'm currently on my Series 4 which is a bit knackered now but I can't decide if I want to get a 46mm Series 10 or an Ultra 2.

I kinda want the thinness of the 10 but I like that the screen is not as exposed on the Ultra

If you're worried about screen exposure, my series 4's face was covered in scratches, but my Ultra 2 remains unscathed on the actual screen, so if mine is unscratched after about 6 months, you stand a chance too! :)

Can I ask about the ultra model do you think it too big compared to a series 10 ?

It's personal preference, I think you should try one one. I prefer bigger watch faces, and the ultra is much more to my tastes, but I know of a lot of people who feel the opposite because they feel it's too big for smaller wrists, doesn't go under cuff links, etc. I love mine.
 
I want to get my Grandma a cellular model that does Afib recognition and falls and sos is the SE 2nd gen worth picking up used. She doesnt use a iphone though so would be the family setup? Anyone use that and found it decent.

I haven’t personally used this but a friend has tried it with their dad who was living alone and frail - he kept forgetting to charge it so it essentially was useless for him, and a traditional sos necklace did the job better for cheaper.

I was very concerned about this before I bought one but not for one second afterward.

It's "chunky" yes but in a good way and the single biggest benefit for me personally isn't so much the size of the screen but that it's flat. Makes so much difference to visibility/clarity.
 
So I worn my automatic instead of my Apple Watch on Saturday for work Christmas dinner....I haven't taken it off since... and I must admit I don't miss it much if at all and realise how much I miss the weight and look at a real automatic watch.

I wear my Tudor watch on weekends because it gives me a degree of separation from my phone, and I'm not at the gym on the weekends, so don't bother with fitness tracking etc. It's a nice break.
 
Been looking at this thread for a few days (after terribly dropping my Apple Watch 5 it’s totally borked)and contemplating 10 or ultra2. One concern is that the 10 is newer tech (sip 10). I want it to last 4/5 years if possible, so maybe the ultra 2 could outlast a Apple Watch 10
(Non titanium) Because of the better hardware?

Thanks.
