I don’t think anyone in their right mind would upgrade to Ultra 2 from Ultra 1.
My Ultra 1 is still as good as new after 1 year. Battery at 100%, looks as good as new despite dropping it several times while running.
Wait how are you dropping it when running? The reason I ask is because I just got a gen 2 partially to track my runs and wanted to know if I should be cautious in some way to not drop it running.
They dropped their watch and body but blamed the watch
I thought the drop was due to the air friction melting the band off due to running excessively fast.
No one in their right mind should be upgrading their $800 watch for at least 3-4 years…
At least my perspective as a AWU1 owner, if it can’t last 4 years and maintain It’s longevity for that long it’s not worth it ¯\(ツ)/¯
My health insurance company pays for mine 🤷♂️ annnnnnd 800 isn’t a lot of money to some people. I’m not one of those people, but I definitely know some lol
Are they the same ones that plan on working till they die to keep up with their shiny gadget collection?
Not sure that’s the only continuum that exists lol
True for Apple Watch as there isn’t much added in upgraded versions.
But for iPhones, I’m tempted to upgrade at least once every two years. 😛 Mostly because of the good trade-in value.
After watching those durability tests online, (and having Apple care) I smack the shit out of my watch constantly to show people it’s near indestructible. Considering my career in psych involves restraining patients at times, durability is very important. And it performs like a champ.
How do you drop it while running??
