    I like the orange button, at least with the current watch color. I think it goes with the aesthetic of the Ultra and the way Apple marketed the Ultra as a more rugged, more advanced watch for outdoorsy people.

    It’s not a subtle choice, but I think that was the point.

    Maybe they could tone it down and make it a colored ring around the action button, similar to the way the cellular watches used to have a solid color on the Digital Crown that was changed to a color ring later.

      It still amazed me that people pay twice as much for practically the same watch. They’ll both antiquate and lose battery life at the same rate. The premium features seem intended for extreme outdoor activities and many of the guys I see wear them are out-of-shape indoor guys.

        100%. Literally every person I know who has one is not apart of the target audience. And they paid $800+ just for clout.

        The screen on the Ultra is miles better than the aluminum. Stainless steel is $699 so the Ultra really isn’t that much more.
