How do you feel about your purchase a year later? Do you care about the newer gesture controls not being available to you?

    I don’t think anyone in their right mind would upgrade to Ultra 2 from Ultra 1.

    My Ultra 1 is still as good as new after 1 year. Battery at 100%, looks as good as new despite dropping it several times while running.

      Wait how are you dropping it when running? The reason I ask is because I just got a gen 2 partially to track my runs and wanted to know if I should be cautious in some way to not drop it running.

      After watching those durability tests online, (and having Apple care) I smack the shit out of my watch constantly to show people it’s near indestructible. Considering my career in psych involves restraining patients at times, durability is very important. And it performs like a champ.

      No one in their right mind should be upgrading their $800 watch for at least 3-4 years…

      At least my perspective as a AWU1 owner, if it can’t last 4 years and maintain It’s longevity for that long it’s not worth it ¯\(ツ)/¯

        My health insurance company pays for mine 🤷‍♂️ annnnnnd 800 isn’t a lot of money to some people. I’m not one of those people, but I definitely know some lol

        True for Apple Watch as there isn’t much added in upgraded versions.

        But for iPhones, I’m tempted to upgrade at least once every two years. 😛 Mostly because of the good trade-in value.
