Upgraded 2 days ago from the series 7, and I am in love with it. The form, the screen, the unique face, the band - it’s the perfect watch. I feel much more free now to leave my phone behind and the battery life has been incredible so far. Selling my Seamaster as I’ll never wear it now.

Any issues seeing the watch face data when in a dark room? I have U2 and perhaps it’s my eyes but it just seems awfully dim and no way to adjust this

[–] Remenissions@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This unfortunately is a known issue with the U2 with no fix currently

[–] razarivan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Looks good bro. Personally I’d go with textile velcro wristband.

I've always had the smaller watch and started amassing a collection of bands (38mm 0 and 3, 40mm 5, and 41mm 8). Had no intention of ever getting the bigger size, because I thought smaller looked better and I had my bands.

I don't know what got into me, but I picked up an Ultra 2 last week and I am so loving it. Now I'm ordering new bands! And it absolutely does not look too big, turns out my wrist aren't small, and the smaller watch may have actually been too small for my wrists. I wore my Series 5 yesterday and it looked tiny.

How much do you want for the Seamaster ;)

[–] No-Dot-5230@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That band is horrible I think

I just got the ultra 1 first ever apple watch

[–] civilianm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hey nice ultra!! Can you put this face on the ultra 1?

[–] Fit-Access9759@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Very nice. Welcome to the club!

I used mechanical watches and kept needing my watches serviced. I finally went Apple Ultra 2 also. Happy with my decision.

How’s battery life so far?

[–] ConesMalone@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Once the contract for my series 8 is up I’m gonna grab one I think

[–] Snoo52211@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jeah looks like any generic apple watch

[–] Downtown-Inflation13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Did the same as you

[–] Fattybeards@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Got one last Friday and absolutely love it. Honestly, I got it because I liked how it looked, couldn't care less all the other shit it does.

[–] Msfancy1973@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Same for me but that battery and form factor have me hooked. I tried on a friends S8 and it seemed so tiny to me. My U1 is going strong and I only take it off to charge while in shower.

[–] BigBoyObi-Wan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

dude where are you where the high is 13 degrees

[–] Sea-Beautiful-611@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Scotland - degrees Celsius to be clear

[–] BigBoyObi-Wan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

aaaah okay didn’t think of that haha

[–] AlarmedRecipe6569@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Slow down on selling the Seamaster… it’s also a great watch and will be in 5 years from now. The ultra 2? Not so much.

[–] Martim_S@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Im glad this was the first comment I found when scrolling down😂 love my other watches, it kinda bothers me that I’m barely wearing my seiko that I absolutely love or a Gshock but I’m keeping and wearing them from time to time

[–] Piano_mike_2063@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I simply have small wrists. Just genetics. I think that would look ridiculous on me.

[–] TwoFamue@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The orange ocean band looks better than I thought

[–] pedrohz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love that watch face. Unfortunately the Ultra is just too large for my tiny wrist, but it if wasn’t… would purchase it right away.

[–] CannedHeat2828@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What face is that ? From Facer or no?

[–] DarkFate13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Welcome to the club

[–] Arlucity@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man I should have gotten the orange. I mean I can still buy it but I think orange would have been nice, currently rocking the blue. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[–] talster71@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love that strap. What is it?
