I think the Ian Zelbo image you attached earlier with the royal Dutch Orange colour looks awesome in the Space Gray Titanium case.

Agreed! They are awesome. Continues to surprise each time you look at the Apple Watch.
Might finally upgrade my Series 1 if I can get a deal on the 8!
Does not look like any new features will be available with the new watch. Hoping to see some new colours

Introducing Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Space Gray) with a Black Ocean Band. This goes hard! 🔥 🔥 🔥
careful for scuffs ...i would wait to see how it test the time this colour , hopefully Apple learned from iphone 5 black/slate
I suspect most of the buyers of the darker version (if there is one) will be the same couch slugs who can’t run the length of themselves but still moan about the Ultra’s battery life. Those of us who actually run gear hard will likely avoid it because it’ll get so obviously banged up.
I have a Series 6 with a max battery down to 84%. It may not be much of an upgrade to others, but I typically only upgrade every 2-3 years so for me, it's... time.
I would order that today.
This will be my first Apple Watch and first smart watch in general, so I'm excited. If something revolutionary comes out next year, I'll just trade in and pay for the upgrade. But I think I'll be fine.
I’ve never owned an Apple Watch. Don’t really think it does anything for me. If and when these things add value to my life then I will get one. Blood glucose and blood pressure monitoring would get me off the fence and buy one though. I think those things are still a few years away
The timing couldn’t be better to add a pink version. Adding a popular new color is a good way to move stock of a design that’s one year away from becoming “the old Apple Watch design”.
Black AW Ultra w/ red accents rocks! 👍🏻
Exactly, and if rumours are to be believed the current system prevents the watch from being any thinner.
So they need to change the strap system every 10 years? Why? How long has the Rolex band attachment system been in place?
I don’t know if we’ll ever see passive blood pressure monitoring. If you have to stop what you’re doing, sit still and take blood pressure, why not just use a cuff? I just wonder how much this feature even matters. Blood glucose seems far more useful, but I agree that either of these is years away.
I’ve decided to say goodbye to Apple Watch. I use mine almost exclusively for fitness. The smart watch features don’t interest me.
I recently spent about thirty minutes at REI with a very knowledgeable sales associate who gave me a very thorough tour of the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro. Wow. As a fitness device, the Apple Watch, including the Ultra, is a joke compared to Garmin.
I’m excited to get a Fenix. As a long distance backpacker, the Apple Watch was always useless. Fine for day hikes but that’s it. Now I’ll get nearly ten days of battery life in GPS mode. It’s pretty shocking that Apple Watch’s battery life is so awful when the Garmin does so much more and has a comparable looking screen.

Same. Might get the iPhone in black this year too.
