I don’t know Apple Watch well so isn’t S7 1 year old? Anyways I bought one so thanks for the link. Never tried one at a store but have been wanting one a while. Got the smaller one for my dainty gentle wrists. Free returns if I don’t like it.

I’m at a month with my ultra and I love it. I happen to think it’s the best looking watch they’ve put out and it doesn’t wear as big as it looks in the pics. I appreciate the larger screen (my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be) and I like my scuba band even though the closest it will come to diving is the shower.

I 100% agree with this after also having mine for a month. It’s a fantastic watch

I would have considered an ultra if I didn’t have little bird twig wrists. I would have found a way to justify it even if my most action packed activity is indoor HIIT.

My only complaint is that due to the larger size, I'm constantly hitting the action button when I'm in a pushup/plank position, causing it to fire off a segment break. And during hockey, the water lock is being dis-engaged randomly and I had my hockey workout end prematurely probably 5 times last night. Never had the issue with workouts ending early with my 6.

Whoever suggested Slopes for skiing, y’all rock. I’ve used it twice and man is it great. They emailed me a 1-day premium pass after I used it for the first time, so I used that pass a couple days ago. The stats, run views, and live friend tracking are really cool.

It’s one of the best apps I’ve ever used! Also the dev is super cool and engaged. I had a bug this season just how that meant I lost a couple of days and they just threw some premium passes at me and fixed the bug in a few days.

Buddy was learning how to Downwind in the ocean. So Stand Up Paddle (with a foil) in strong winds. People called the lifeguards on him since it looks like he's struggling and it's to windy to be out on a SUP. He's out there just fighting the fight, trying to figure it out. His watch starts blowing up. It was the Coast Guard who were searching for him with a helicopter and rescue boat, and finally got a hold of him by texting his apple watch.  He politely declined help and finished the run.

Duckman2008 posted:You don’t want to sleep in a tent attached to the side of a mountain ?  Nah, I sleep in a big bed with my wife Just kidding I'm pretty lonely Anyway, I got the 41mm Series 7 Stainless Steel and Abyss Blue Sport Band, linked upthread. My first AW. It's pretty dope. The stainless body is very nice. I have yet to try the aluminum one in store to compare. I see that stainless has for all intents and purposes been discontinued for Series 8, except for some $800 exorbitant special edition with a chintzy band. I guess not enough people ordered it, or the material was difficult enough to do that the profit margin wasn't making it worth it.  https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-watch/apple-watch?preSelect=false&product=MNKW3LL/A&step=detail The band looks cool and I'd like to try it if my wallet weren't already hurt and sad.

I appreciate the larger screen (my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be) and I like my scuba band even though the closest it will come to diving is the shower. It was already time to replace my Series 5, I had just been procrastinating deciding between SS or another aluminum watch, really leaning towards SS, until I saw an Ultra an an actual person on Friday and picked up one today. I get why Apple is really leaning into the extreme fitness angle, but in my mind it was like an old school Forerunner sized device, Apple even heavily suggests it is by saying they are supporting you having two personal Apple watches, an Ultra for athletic stuff and a Series 8 for everyday. It is for sure a chunky watch, but it's like a chunky watch in the everyday chunky watch sense, not in the competitive athlete sense, it's really not that much larger than my Series 5 44mm, almost all of the size is depth, which really isn't noticeable just seeing it on someone's wrist, the crown protector, but still, an embellishment, not like some massive watch element, it's not that much larger than the protruding crown on the Series 5. If anything, side by side, the Ultra doesn't look large compared to the 44mm, it makes the 44mm look kind of, dainty.

Chiming in to say I picked up one of the magnetic Milano steel straps and it’s the most comfortable watch strap I’ve ever worn. Have gone from swapping straps depending on whether I’m exercising/sleeping/going out to just using this one consistently. Got it second hand off eBay for cheap though, I’m not a monster, don’t pay apple prices for it

Are showers…bad for your hearing? Whenever my watch comes with me it complains about detected noise levels of +100dba. I figure it’s a fluke it’s just funny that it gets triggered 100% of the time each time it goes in there with me.

The HR tracking of my watch has been pretty impeccable for general use as well as running and mountain biking. But when I'm snowboarding, I should be dying according to the heart rate peaks. I guess too much shaking and vibrations. I'm surprised it hasn't attempted to call emergency services with what false positives on crash detection.

I think water getting in the mic fucks with the sound measurement, as I’ve observed the same thing. Turning on water lock mode disables the sound level measurement, probably for that reason.

It's a fluke. The shower drops are hitting the microphone, which it is interpreting as really loud sounds (since "sound" is just an interpretation of pressure waves)

I've gotten the warning while putting away dishes. I assume it's because there are some noises that happen by your hands that are pretty loud out there but not really powerful, and the mic is looking for sounds that are equally loud across your whole body because the watch assumes it's measuring sounds from loudspeakers or whatever which can be safely assumed to be the same volume at wrist and ear level.

Also if you’re higher up the air is thinner so your heart rate would be higher I think.

Elevation raises heart rate but it typically doesn’t kick in until ~7-8k feet ASL, and scales from there. Also it raises your RHR, not your max; it doesn’t cause a bigger peak, it gives you a higher floor and a steeper rise to max.

I got a noise warning a few weeks ago at like 4:30am while I was in bed sleeping. Either I was being abducted by aliens or I guess my watch rubbed the pillow at the precise angle so that the microphone was overwhelmed.

Do people find sleep tracking useful? I’ve been messing with it lately and it just seems like “yep, there is some rem and there is a lot of core and a little deep sleep and there is where my cat woke me up.”

Yeah, I find no use for sleep tracking outside of the novelty of it. I wear my watch to bed to use the silent alarm in the morning so I don’t wake my wife.

But I don’t get much value from the like, analysis of how I slept, pretty much just the total. I also use an app, AutoSleep, rather than the built-in one, mostly out of habit from before it was built in, but it’s also nice now that I have a newborn that I can tell how long of a nap I got when I fall asleep in my chair

I thought I cared enough about sleep tracking to get one of those under-mattress trackers. This post is the first time in probably eight months that I remembered I even have it. I couldn't imagine sleeping with a watch though. Would have not been feasible on my lovely battery S4. The S8 might do a better job, but I still don't think I'd like something sitting on my arm all night.

I did sleep tracking for a while then realized that data wasn’t remotely useful to me. I know whether or not I got a good night’s sleep, I don’t need my watch to confirm it.
