Very happy with the Apple Watch Ultra 3! This is my third Apple Watch, after a series 3 and 7. TBH, I only bought this on a lark as I was prepared to spend considerably less on the series 11. That said, I’m really enjoying everything about the Ultra 3, from the added health functionality (way too much to mention it all) to the MASSIVE face that lets you add as much or as little as you like. The gestures are pretty awesome as well. Do the research if you’re on the fence (the Apple website is fairly comprehensive), I learned a lot there. I would very likely replace with another Ultra when it’s time.
Battery life was great at first, until I set it all up with the health app. Then it dropped to about half. Instead of the 2 days advertised it is more like one day. It also thinks I fell every time I pat my dog on the butt.
I would recommend this to a friend!
