i am not exposed to nature in anyway that would warrant an ultra purchase. I just think its really cool, and I like the flat glass. Anyone like me?
Got a tip for us?

According to Brian Tong’s first look video he says it supports the old bands. I have a black leather link I can’t wait to use with it.
I'd change the order for whatever band gets delivered the soonest & just walk into Best Buy on release day & buy the Yellow Trail Loop.Dang, just realized..
Apple Watch Ultra GPS + Cellular, 49mm Titanium Case with Yellow/Beige Trail Loop - M/L
ordered at 10:00pm, and it's showing Oct. 20/27!
Waited to see a few 'hands on' videos before ordering last night, unfortunately by then both my first choice M/L Black/Grey Trail Loop and Large Green Alpine loop had delivery dates of mid to late October. This morning I saw the AWU was listed on Best Buy's site with 'release day delivery'. It didn't appear that they were offering any Trail Loops but I was able to get a large Green Alpine Loop. Additionally I ordered a Midnight Ocean Band from Apple with an anticipated launch day delivery as well as a black/grey Trail Loop which is expected to arrive in early November.
As for my rationale behind buying the Apple Watch Ultra, I simply think it's cool. I have always been into watches and, I think this is an interesting aesthetic change. Sure, the better water resistance and battery life are pluses, as is the brighter screen but in the end I think the new design is refreshing and a bit funky which, from what I've seen so far, I absolutely love.

Same. Longer battery and I like the look. Louder speaker sounds nice as well.
this YouTube video shows a lot of detail about how the watch looks and even shows what it looks like with older watch bands
Pretty much. I probably won't even use half the features, but it's just a super cool design that I couldn't pass up.
I told my wife this doesn't mean I'm going to exercise more... it just means I'll feel more comfortable wearing my Apple Watch out on the sand bar, or in the pool =) Also I really hope your handle is a reference to the 4th Chamber (great song).
I'm trying to but through their app on iPad and iPhone there is an error at check out. I reported it to Apple and they replicated the error there and are looking into it. Unable to complete the purchase.
remove AppleCare if you are adding it. its a bug which I thought they would have fixed by now.
I found the silicone sport bands really end up smelling really nasty after wearing for a while so I won't order a band with that material anymore. I'll wait for the trail loop.
Thanks but I did not add AC to my order.
I think of that song every time I see his name
“Unleash the prominent, dominant…” Great song, great album!A classic song indeed!I think of that song every time I see his name
Just ordered with White Ocean Band..
delivery 9/23 Vancouver Canada

I’ve never had that problem. I usually wash rubber watch bands with soap and water several times a week.
I had no plans to order the watch... then my boss calls to tell me that my promotion went through! A few hours later I got the the Green Alpine Loop - Medium!
Right On! Congrats!!!
Congrats. I just got a retro Check back dated from 2019 to 2022 with a 10 percent rate increase so it was a no brainer. Although uncle same got there cut first.
I ordered the orange band with a Sept. 23 date. My wrist measured 160mm, so I was torn between a small or medium band. The small band had a delivery date of Sept. 23, and the medium about a week later - so small band it was.
Looks like they have a lot of the Ultra watches as people are still getting the 23rd Or September!
I just did a check and I am in Canada but the only way to get it on September 23 is with the ocean white or yellow band
Everything else either says 3 to 4 weeks or 6 to 7 weeks at this point
My indecision cost me as I REALLY WANTED the orange alpine loop but felt it a little much, so I went green alpine instead. Now I regret my decision but FOMO requires I keep a Sept 23 delivery date, and thus the green band. Don’t get me wrong I like the green too, it’s just that orange screams bad @ss survival watch! In a perfect world where watch bands didn’t cost a hundred bucks, I’d have the orange alpine, white ocean and black/grey trail.
