Yea I been eyeing one for a while, wasn’t sure when I was gonna make the splurge but for those of y’all who do have one what’s the everyday benefits that slightly or greatly improve your day to day life?

I went with the Ultra because of the size and battery life, can get over 2 days on it till it needs a charge. Now I came from a Samsung Frontier S3, apps were not great, fitness worked pretty good, battery life maybe longer than a day. Apple watch is night and day over it, app support is top notch, display is bright and even has a flashlight built in. I use the alarm functions, fitness and sleep tracker every day, it even reminds you to charge it if it gets below 30% before bedtime (you have to have the bedtime and alarm functions enabled). The watch itself has definitely helped out with my fitness journey over the last few months.

It makes me get up and move around. The exercise rings do make you self consciously want to close them and get medals. I like to set timers when I cook, the watch makes it easy instead of making sure I bring my phone or iPad with me to the kitchen. Apple pay, Use Siri to turn lights off, use it as a remote for the tv (Apple TV), when I have my glasses off and can't find that small azz remote.

I use the siri remotes to turn my tv's on and off and to turn lights on and off as well.

I like it cuz I don't have to say "hey siri"

I don’t pick up my phone much because alerts come to my watch….. save a lot of battery life on the phone

I use it to track my sleeping pattern, it’s great for working out ….. I don’t leave home without this shyt.

I have the 7 series …..

I still have the series 5. I want the ultra bad. that said, I use it every day as well, cuz I go to the gym every morning, so I'm obsessive about closing the rings

I usually get the exclusive color, but I don't like that deep red. I'd get the grey/graphite next time most likely. I still think that powder blue they had on the 13 pro was the GOAT color.

Last year/earlier this thread people were on the fence for purple hands ons came out and they've been walking around with purple phones since lol I think that's gonna happen again

I'm due for a new one (currently have 12pro max), was waiting to see if they were going USB C or not. Now that it's confirmed I'll take the plunge. I don't care about the color, I use skins.
