I’ve been using the Ultra 3 for about a week now, mainly for running (1–2 hours a day, roughly 10h/week, 120km/week) plus strength training or yoga for about an hour daily. I’m very routine-driven: I work from home, never travel much, always home by 6PM, runs in the morning, workouts in the afternoo

Quick story:
Have had an Apple Watch Series 6 for a long time (battery lasted less than a day). Decided to upgrade to the Apple Watch Ultra 3 - The battery lasted less than 48 hours (I’m aware that it’s reported at 42). By design, it’s a decent watch, but the battery life is laughable. It’s a joke.

Has anyone used an Apple Watch Ultra (3 or older) as their daily carry instead of an iPhone? Any experiences or tips to make the transition more seamless?
I have struggled along with the Mudita Kompakt but realized I need something smart-ish for work apps and calendars. I feel like the Ultra 3 may

I came from the Apple Watch Ultra 1, and its battery was already down to 84%. During my second-to-last marathon, the battery actually died mid-race, and on my last marathon I had to turn off AOD — even then, the battery was down to just 55% by the end.
With the Ultra 3, after a ~3:40 marathon (it w

I switched from the Series 11 Titanium Natural to the Apple Watch Ultra 3. I really like the look of the black finish, but I still have to get used to the size.

So the only new features are satellite connectivity and 5G capabilities? Guess I'm holding onto my AWU1 longer!

Apple is supposed to announce new models later today and I can’t wait to see and get Ultra 3.

I decided to switch from my current Series 8 to Ultra at the beginning of summer as I was fed with battery life. And I have been waiting for the release to get the late

My watch every morning keeps showing me future time, and I’ve noticed it likes doing that the most when water lock is enabled. Is it some weird lock screen method that assumes I will not look for my watch for 7 minutes while showering? Why is it consistently 7 minutes?? Did someone at Apple time 7 m
