I just wanted to share my personal experience when going from a Watch 7 alluminium to a Ultra 2.

I did not have any issues with a regular Watch in terms of battery life since I do not monitor sleep with my Watch. I usually ended my day with 40% battery and put the Watch on charge at night. But wow, its a big difference. Now i charge my Watch to 80% and after two days its around 30-40%, so it should go for 3 days with a full charge no problem. Great to be more flexible around charging!

I also notice the screen is much easier to see in the sun of course because of the 3000 nits display.

Its small things, but the battery life is the most important thing for me, its a game changer. All in all very happy with my switch. It took a little while to get used to the added size and weight going from a 41 mm 7.

After using my 45mm GPS only series 7, I was looking for an upgrade as the battery was starting to show its age + wanting some of the new features that the Ultra watch offers. I got the Ultra 2 a week ago tomorrow at an Apple Store where I was able to get decent trade in value on my series 7, to help offset the (arguably) high price of the Ultra 2. So far I haven’t been under 90% battery at the end of the day, whereas my series 7 would be almost dead. The Ultra 2 is amazing!!

I’m looking to upgrade my series 7, and don’t really care for battery life, as I charge it when I shower, and that lasts me all day, I also have a smaller wrist, but man do I love the way the ultra looks! It’s just such cool looking watch, and I am thinking about getting one solely for the looks, I’m thinking about the natural, even though I love the black more, but don’t want to worry about scratches.

What were your reasons to get the Ultra over the regular one? Do you actually use it for its intended or supposedly intended purposes? Am I making a mistake buying a more expensive watch that I wouldn’t really use all its functions?

Hey everyone,

I currently have an Apple Watch Series 7 that I bought in 2021, and I’m considering upgrading to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. I’ve been watching a lot of reviews, but many of them say it might not be worth upgrading so soon. I’d love to hear your thoughts—do you think it’s worth it to make the switch? Thanks in advance!
