FYI I decided to return my ultra 2 watch. Best Buy charged me 32$ for "free" Apple music they automatically added. Just because they emailed me the code. It was ordered as Best Buy "drop".

The larger screen and battery life makes in 100% worth it to me. Depends what you value.

Quote from magbarn :
Although the S9 isn't a huge upgrade from the S8, it is noticeable. Also, the S8 is basically a rebadged S6 which came out about 3 years ago. The S9 is going to be supported much longer with the S6/7/8 being basically the same chip. I was able to get the Ultra 2 for a little over $100 more and when you're already dropping this much, it's not that much more for something that should last for years as I upgrade my iphone much more frequently than my watch as my last AW was the series 5.
Again where is this "huge" processor difference noticeable while actually using the WATCH, oh you saved 1sec somewhere?

since I have Best Buy credit card, for me the total price difference between the Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 is $95. You get 10% discount on Apple Watch 9 series with a BB card.

You're completely wrong. The AW9 & Ultra2 are a significant upgrade.

The AW6,7,8, SE2 & Ultra1 all use the same SIP (processor). They haven't innovated in 3 years in this regard. The AW9 and Ultra2 are 60% faster. So much faster they can now process on device Siri. If you've tried to use Siri on your watch on the previous models, you know how slow and pitiful it is. Simply to tell it to turn on my lights, I get wait and "still working on this". But if I do it on the phone it is near instant.

Broke it down for you. Ultimately some people turn other consumers giving advice as an attack but the Ultra1 will quickly begin to show its age. Meanwhile the Ultra2 will see $700 pricing here very soon and for the extra $70 its worth it for longevity.

brighter screen outside, hand gesture control coming this week, Apple will probably screw you with watch performance sooner with the older chip, new chip more energy efficient, I forgot the other updates but if you can get the Ultra 1 for even cheaper than this price and you are a basic user, than sure the ultra 1 is almost just as good probably. The real difference will show itself with the tap update.

I bought the Ultra 2 on day 1 and cant see myself going back to the other watches. I intend to keep this watch until 2030 unless there is some awesome trade in deal. I dont eve like wearing watches but I enjoy the Ultra 2. The biggest difference is actually the Ultra watch vs the other Apple Watches.

No need already have the one, no need to waste my $$ upgrading there's no real difference it even looks the same not even a change to the bezel ring color , Apple has become lazy

But their will always be sheep who upgrade based on numbers not the real life experience difference…..

originally it showed in cart when you selected BB card but I just tested it and see the deal is gone. It was there for a while and I bought 5 new watches using it.

Is it worth paying 729 for the ultra 2 instead of this?
Depends on what you are looking for. The Ultra 2 has the newer processor, longer battery life, on demand Siri processing, brighter screen, and the finger tap gesture. I presume that the newer processor will be supported with updates, etc. longer due to the processor but I keep my watches for a bit longer than most I guess so that kind of thing is important to me. Good luck with whatever you decide and remember, it's just a watch and you can sell/return it if you don't like it.

sometimes there are other reasons to upgrade. I upgraded the 8 because BB offered $235 trade in + anther 10% if you are a total tech member. Then also 10% discount on new watch. Then also 5% back for using BB card. With all these discounts, why not upgrade to new? Also since I have total tech I get Apple care+ included with the watch so if you add all the savings, the upgrade is about free.

actually the new feature I wouldn't go back on is the built in SIRI. its really fast since siri is in the watch now. I never used siri before because of the delays but now I find myself using it often. Because of this I rather pay the $100 extra and have the ultra 2.

No, and this not worth it either.
Unless you are heavy duty into sports. Or heavy duty into showing off your wrist with this on it.
I think the main use case for this is if you want to completely leave your phone behind when doing outdoors stuff. You're still reachable since it has a cellular connection and pretty great battery life but you're not glued to your phone.
