‘I am sure Apple will have more bands for the Ultra soon. I would like to have seen a black DLC coated Ultra but that is life.
I did starlight and the blue trail band. The green looks great on the site but horrible in the YouTube vids
Ordered the Ultra with Green Alpine size large and added the Midnight Ocean band as well, both showing 9/23.
Oct 20 Apple Watch Ultra
Titanium Case with Blue/Gray Trail Loop
Long wait - gonna be counting the days. My wrist is small but I think it should be ok. We’ll see.

I saw your post after I ordered the trail loop, I got a October 25 deliver date, so went back and cancelled the order and reordered the green alpine, got the 26th September date even after 8 hours since the preorders opened! Thanks For the heads up!!
Got mine with Starlight Alpine Loop. Upgrading from Series 4 Black stainless steel. My series 4 watch has lasted 4 years and still in great shape without any scratches. Can’t wait to finally upgrade and get all the new features for exercising and sleep tracking.
I really do think for most people the Apple Watch Ultra (silly name) is the wrong watch for you. The screen is imperceptibly larger than the 45mm Apple Watch (the 49mm includes the huuuuge bezel), it's 40% thicker, 20% heavier, and titanium scratches like crazy.
I mean, yes, if the dedicated scuba stuff is up your alley, go for it, but... naaaaa. This was a disappointing year for the regular Watch crowd.

Yes, for those 6 people, it will be excellent. 😂
Why do y’all care, I remember when people called me crazy for buying the first iPhone plus. And look where we are now.
To be fair the first Plus iPhone was severely hampered by lack of RAM... I still bought one...
Got the Ultra and the Stainless Steel. Want to see which one I like better. Replacing my aging Series 4
Got the ultra and thinking of ordering SS to see which one I like. Time to replace series SS4.
Why do people feel the need to come to an ORDERING THREAD and post ridiculous hate posts? It happens every time.
These people are unsure or insecure about what they want, obviously. LOL

Ordered an Ultra with green Alpine band for my hubby. Delivery 9/23.
Well I ordered an Ultra with the Alpine green band since that delivers on the 23rd.
I’ve been pretty vocal AGAINST the Ultra the last 3-4 days when I found out it would be 49mm. I have small wrists at 160mm for a man and I felt 45mm was as large as I wanted to go but for this “adventure” watch I planned to go to 47mm but 49mm seemed too far. So though I loved the Ultra I ordered a midnight aluminum S8 to replace my starlight aluminum S7. I realized after a few hours that was silly as the S8 literally has no real new features other than the car crash detection for me since they don’t use the temperature sensor for men (I suppose it would record my temp but I’d have to figure what to do with that in the Health app) and the low power mode is coming to Series 4 and up later this fall. There literally was nothing new.
So I’ll get the Ultra. If it is embarrassing on my wrist I guess I’ll return it but hopefully I like it and my wife doesn’t laugh… too much. To try and make sure of that I ordered her a stainless silver S8 to replace her aluminum S6 lol. I plan on keeping my S7 and using the Ultra 80-90% of the time and perhaps on rare occasion where it isn’t subtle enough I’ll put on the S7.
I’ll post pics one way or another on launch day.

Since this will replace my current one, I plan on starting to get into sleep tracking. Never wanted to before with just one watch and the whole recharge thing.
