    1. So, after waffling on getting a smartwatch for a very long time, I decided to pick up an Apple Watch Ultra. Why the Ultra? Since the stainless steel version came out, I've wanted to pick up the larger of the two sizes in stainless steel...

    I also wanted to have built in cell as I have been known to forget my phone at home and have needed to make a calls (thus requiring me to drive back home and back to where I needed to be).

      So, when it came time to look at the Series 8 and the Ultra, the Ultra was $50 more than the S8 in the larger watch size, with stainless steel and cell support. The Ultra also has a slightly larger display (that's not curved towards the edges) and larger battery.

        So, it was a no-brainer, for me, to get the Ultra. After having it for a few days, the extra weight and size of the Ultra has not been an issue. I am surprised that the M/L trail wrist band fits perfectly, even if my arm is larger than the given size range for the band.

          Before that, I had a Fitbit that I used and wore for about a year (it was part of the package that I got when I started working remotely for work 6 years ago); but, I always hated that I would have to remove the thing from the frame to charge it, battery life wasn't great...

            and the Fitbit app just stunk. Between then and now, I hadn't worn a watch of any kind at all. In a way, I liked the fact that there wasn't anything on my wrist; but, I did want to have something that I could use as a phone in a pinch w/o having a big phone on me all the time.

              Having something to track my activity and what-not is more of a bonus than anything else. Even if I switched to Android, the Google/Samsung smartwatch hardware and software just feel like a few generations behind; and, who knows how long either will support a device after launch
