Same way I use my S4 right now.
I use it at work, workout a lot almost everyday of the week(taking few breaks since I'm still recovering from a bad ankle sprain) lifting, running(run up to 10k) and playing basketball.
I really wish it was available today or the 16th like why we gotta wait till the 23rd uughhhhh.
I bought the Ocean band since I liked how it looked, but I probably should've taken the trail loop since I run a lot. Oh well cuz if I were to cancel and re order then I would be getting it end of november october YIKES.

I just preordered the Ultra from Verizon this morning to be delivered on 9/23. I’ll use it along side my other watches, including my S6 Nike that I’ve decided to keep instead of trading it in.
I ordered the Orange Alpine Loop - Large. I hope the size is right. I measured my wrist twice and came up at 200mm. It seems wrong, though, because my wrists don’t look all that big.

I use mine mainly for activity tracking.
Outdoor runs 1x a week, Indoor runs in winter
Soccer once weekly
Weight lifting 4-5x weekly
Looking forward to the longer battery life, better GPS for runs and durability. In the past Id have to by titanium just so it wouldnt get damaged with the above activities. I initially had aluminum with the first watch and would get screen scratches and scuffs on the watch.
For those of us with late October delivery dates because of band choices, I think there is a good chance we will get bumped forward for delivery. There is only one model Ultra AW. No more choosing GPS-only or Cellular with GPS. This will greatly streamline Apple's manufacturing process and keep costs down. Maybe not costs for us consumers, but wider margins for Apple, and probably more units made per day. I'm not counting on my ship date getting moved up the queue, but I'm hopeful.
They did with my iPhone 13 Pro Max, so I'm hoping they will for this as I ordered it about 10 mins after pre-orders started on their site
I think you have a few months after purchase to add AppleCare
I’m sure after receiving the device there’s probably the usual 30-day window during which one can add AppleCare. I could easily be wrong, though.
I'm eager for the aftermarket accessories. Right now I'm using a G-Shock style band/protective case on my S5 and I love it. I think once I'm using a 49mm watch, what's a couple more millimeters? 
I also want to see if my 44mm S5 bands will fit the new Ultra. I've got a pile of them.

Do you know if it’s possible to have some stock at the apple stock on day one ?
No pre order yet from my side…

Yellow ocean band, delivers 9/23. I have a large wrist, (size 11 braided loop) and was concerned about the ultra band sizes. The ocean band is the largest, but I was told I can use the bands I have on my watch 6, 45mm.
What sold it is the 49mm case.

I did the same this morning and neglected to measure my wrist. I’m pretty sure I need a medium band. Hopefully when it comes the store will have stock to swap out.
Ordered white ocean band looking forward to the extra battery life and other features coming from a 5
Never was a fan of showering with my watch as I see the scum build up on the shower walls . . . . . . .
I prefer a dedicated wash once A week and that is all my past watches have needed to stay like new. I have always used a drop of dishwashing soap to cut the oils and dry it off.
‘There might be some trail bands included on some of the store watches but can not see them having them for sale separately. Then no one knows for sure.
I had to order mine with the green Alpine Loop so my Ultra was not delayed but also ordered the Black/Grey and Grey/Blue Trail Band to arrive in November.
They also sell an extension for the Ocean bands specifically, allowing it to fit over wetsuits.
Ordered from AT&T.

this two week wait is gonna be long

You can. Watches can add AppleCare+ in store or over the phone within the first 60 days, assuming it passes the diagnostic test they ask you to run.
I was surprised this was available to ship by the 23rd because on Apple, this band is backordered until November!
