How do you feel about your purchase a year later? Do you care about the newer gesture controls not being available to you?

    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.

      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)

        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.

    No, the AWU2 is not worth the upgrade from the OG version. Will upgrade next year (if there are major enhancements)

    I bought used ultra specifically because new features aren’t convincing me to buy a new one

    I just upgraded to an AWU1 from a series 3, and I’m happy I did. I got a good deal on the AWU1, and I selected it for the battery life. The pinch gesture works perfectly fine on it. I have no complaints.

    I’m perfectly happy with my Ultra. There isn’t enough of a difference (for me) between it and the U2 and whether or not to upgrade was an easy NOPE!

    I awaited the Ultra 2 announcement. Bought a mint Ultra 1 for $450. I’m not missing out on anything.
