Seriously, like i must see 20-30 AW per day minimum. I’ve never even encountered one ultra, ever. What do you think the percentages actually are? Why are the percentages so high here? Just surrounded here by AW aficionados or something? It’s begun to feel surreal.

    haha, yea it depends on a location. Back where I’m from I was very surprised of how many people were wearing AWU in the very early days of it’s launch. I wasn’t expect that. And then I found out that these were Chinese knockoffs on people’s wrists 😂

    Same. I’ve seen numerous 15 Pros already in the wild, but still haven’t seen an Ultra.

    Good point OP, and like OP I see lots of AW in my normal day but I can only recall seeing two Ultras.

    But, but, when I see the AW I am seeing the result of what, 8 years sales, the S0/1 to the S8. So maybe I need to divide the number I am seeing by 8. However, even taking that into account I am seeing a lot more AW than AWU.

    I have ultra because I love a big screen, you can tell I also have a pro max. Yea it’s rugged but I don’t think it’s for a purpose necessarily. Same thing why most of Jeep Wranglers are on the road not in the woods. I still rock the first version, it works great, battery capacity is still at 100%

    True enough. I’ve got one and I only ever see it on my wrist ;) Seriously, I’ve never seen it on anyone else.

    Because it’s more expensive and most people don’t need its extra features.

    Same reason that everyone got a M3 in a BMW sub, or everyone on a gaming sub got an RTX 4090.

    It‘s usually not the average person that has huge interest in the topic. The average joe just got his watch and doesn’t care to read anything about other people’s experience.

    They are more expensive, and frankly it doesn’t do much that the regular one doesn’t do.

    My dad’s specialist doctor has one, and a guy we met at a car dealer had one.

    I’ve only seen one once irl. It looked cool, but it was on a big dude and still looked pretty large, a little over the top in an office setting.

    I was interested in the ultra’s long battery life but it would be too much watch for my arm. I went from s5 to s9 and the battery life is fine, really especially given how fast it charges.

    Out here on a cruise and I’ve seen a handful. I think I’m seeing steadily more over time.
