I have the opportunity to purchase either an Apple Watch Ultra 1 for $579 or a Series 9 45mm GPS+Cellular for $479. Both are brand new, sealed in the box.

Any insights, experiences, or opinions would be greatly appreciated. What do you guys think – which one is the better deal here?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Depends on what you care about in a smartwatch. The Ultra is great for those who do lots of outdoor activities and need the extra battery life and durability. The downside is some bands don’t fit as well on the Ultra and many also just don’t look as nice. You also have to consider how it wears under a sleeve due to how thick and clunky the Ultra is etc.

After using the Ultra for a bit I realize while the battery life and added durability is nice I prefer something that works as a casual watch due to my extensive band collection and that’s also is more comfortable in any scenario and it’s also much nicer to sleep with a slimmer watch than the Ultra if you plan on using sleep tracking, it’s also helpful he battery charger very fast on Apple Watch.
