Just copped the ultra 1 off amazon for $500. better deal than the series 9, and it even has the features that they just removed in january.
I looked and that seems used. I would need a new one for battery sake. My series 7 I traded in to get a series 9 had a battery that degraded to 86% in 2 years and it needed to be charged twice a day to make it a full day. Also my series 9 from Best Buy has all the features and cost me $230 with tax out of pocket after trade in.

there's over 4000 reviews. all said that the battery is 100%. that's all I care about.

mind, you I'm coming from the series 5, and it's overdue to get replaced.

I would be sure to check the battery health on the watch. The original Ultra was released in September 2022 so so that battery could possibly be a year and 6 months old. Reviews aren't going to tell you your individual battery health.

Have had my Ultra 1 for a 14 months now, battery health is showing 97%. Only had to reset the watch once, it has been a great device.

I got mine yesterday refurbished off amazon.

u can nitpick about the presentation, cuz it literally came in a blank cardboard box and the watch literally came in a baggie :russ:

then the charger they included wasn't USB-C, nor was it apple branded or a braided cable. it was cheap and barely magnetic like the real shyt. but that's where the complaints stop.

the watch itself, while it came in a baggie, it had ZERO scratches, or dents. plus the best thing is the battery health is at 100%. and that's the main thing I was concerned about.

like I said, I paid like $494 for this shyt off amazon, so I think that's a better deal than getting a series 9 for $400 from apple.

another thing, is that when u get a watch from amazon, they charge u more or less depending on the band type/color. I picked the one with the trail loop simply cuz it was $40 cheaper than the version with the ocean loop. I didn't care. if the band is wack, I would just buy another one.
