    Whatever fits in with your life and depending on how long the battery lasts. For eg I don’t sleep track so I charge mine to full every night, but you may want to charge it while you have a shower and coffee in the morning if you want to check your sleep out.

    I do, nothing special, a couple of Tissot’s and a Seiko. It would be better if the AW would actually communicate 2 ways with the phone as I still do steps with one of my other watches on and phone in my pocket. I think it’s absolutely rubbish that the steps, distance etc the phone records don’t sync back to the watch.

    I like the larger screen and the (slightly) better battery life which at least means I can go away overnight or for a weekend without bothering to take a charger. The Modular Ultra watch face is also the only Apple face I like.

    I do count steps/walks and exercise bike so it has some use in terms of exercise for me.

    On the flip side it’s ugly and I particularly dislike the way they’ve heightened the watch screen by just plonking an extra bit on top of an otherwise normal looking Apple Watch design. I’d like the Ultra 2 more if it didn’t have this plinth looking thing on top of the rounded case.
