When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

"most accurate gps of any smartwatch"

surely garmin/dedicated sport watches aren't counted in this category, right? aren't those high end hiking watches specifically made to track you in the middle of nowhere and, like, call a chopper if you're lost or hurt or whatever?

I can't really speak for the garmin watches but those middle of nowhere chopper things look like mini 00 phones. You could maybe put it on a cable around your neck but it would be a heavy watch.

799 is actually pretty OK but I for sure can't justify buying on based on "wow it's less expensive than I thought" when a 7 is probably fine for me :lol:

Cellular + Sapphire + Titanium for $800? That's almost tolerable for not taking it off for wrenching or hardcore yard work.

Plus, you know, night mode.

Hmmm…. Actually now that I think about it…

800 dollars might not be TOO bad of a price but for 36-60 hours with cellular it’s too much

Eh, if this thing had mountain bike specific features, I'd be interested. But Apple pretends mountain biking isn't a thing.

Everyone who's buying the Ultra, have you considered the surprise added expense of all the airline tickets and safari expeditions you'll need to pay for now that you're an Ultra haver? :colbert:

“The screen won’t break when you fall” is a pretty big mountain biking feature for me, given that MTB is how I’ve broken my watch every time so far hah.

And the off-trail backtracking feature probably works nicely for it as well.

Interested in what else you’d look for that would be MTB specific?
