I disagree and have an Ultra and a Series 7 45mm Hermes watch too. There are pluses/minuses of both, which make it a tough decision. The Series S Hermes is slick looking with better watch Hermes watch faces and also looks more fashionable. The Ultra pluses I already mentioned above, but feels bulky. Tough decision, definitely not a no brainer for me.
I guess to each their own. I love mine, and I didn’t think I would at first. I think it’s the brighter screen and flat display because it can’t be the screen because it isn’t any bigger. It may be that I just like bigger watches. Lol.
The way Apple only goes after big numbers, I don’t think we can make that assumption.
I think the ultra has sold well enough. They said they didn’t expect to sell many during the presentation and currently it’s sold out for in store.
If you have ANY doubts by the time the return deadline approaches, return it! Unless money’s no object and you don’t mind owning a secondary watch, save it for next year, which should have some meaningful upgrades if rumors are correct…
I’m with ya. I still have my Ultra just for me to finish up my video review on, taking advantage of the extra 2 weeks from setting up a return through the Apple online store, but is going back around this weekend. I actually MISS having my gold stainless Series 7, to be honest, as it just looks sleeker and gold’s my favorite color…
That’s not a guarantee, but I don’t think it’ll be the first AND last of its kind, either. We’ll find out next year!…
I thought so too until my AWU ordered with the Blue/Gray Trail band finally arrived. I must say that the comfort, softness, overall quality, and included Titanium band connectors on this Ultra band version changed my mind!
The Series 9 is supposed to have an actual new chip (dubbed the S9), which is supposed to be faster than what we have now, but also be more energy efficient, giving longer battery life that should go past the 18-hour mark on the Series 7 and 8, while probably giving the same effect to the Ultra. Again, what exactly will be bright remains a mystery, but that’s what I’ve been hearing and we are overdue for a refresh of the processor since this is the 3rd year of the S6!
not what I needed to hear... I am still much more on the fence than I thought....but, Congrats and happy for you !
I love mine. I wouldn’t return it. The updates are generally lack luster ever since the 5. I have a space black titanium 5 series. I bought a 7 Hermes only because I wanted space black steel and hated the titanium. I love the Hermes faces. So I’ll keep it, and I’ll keep the space black titanium because it’s not made anymore. I may give it away.
These are only rumors, and every year there are rumors. I try not to get caught up in always waiting for the next best thing. Next year even with a new chip or a new processor will it change how you use your watch? There’s only so much processing power you need on a watch.
No different than the threads people start in order to feel good about their purchase. People like validation for both. I find this thread less odd than the ones claiming that they bought the ultra to attract intimate partners or to appear super butch
When your old (like me) the next generation is to far away. There's an old saying "Get it while you can" is my motto.
What you said is true and, since it’s a personal decision, it’s what YOU think that matters! With that said, I just simply love the look and feel of my gold stainless Series 7 more and am not going to waste amidst $700 on a new watch that pretty much performs the same (there’s an opportunity that I could use that extra money towards my business, as a matter of fact, which is WAY more worth it)! So, I’m confident in that decision and will be returning my Ultra in a few days once I finish using it for my review/social media post ideas for my business.
