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 usernamistaken :
it was 599, + an optional 99 for apple care+, but i wouldn't have paid 699 for the watch alone. (can't strikethrough so leaving this for context, but it was indeed 699 on their site before statement credits)

edit to add - they had a 10% statement credit via MyECP (military star credit card) on top of the sale price, so it ended up being $629, not $599

you can also get 15% back as a statement credit if you sign up for that card by tomorrow (then drops back to 10%)
It was never listed for 599 on the website

What you're talking about is combining credit card bonuses and other incentives outside of the listed price. One could do the same with this purchase, if they open a new card with Chase or other types of promotional deals.

I bought the ultra with the T-mobile deal back on May ($600, 24 months of apple watch phone and data service, which I was going to add anyways). I don't see any real advantage over my old apple watch 7. Battery life is better but not great. It last around 40 hours or so after twitching the features to make it last more, (turn off haptics, O2 sensor, constant alerts), etc. Looks better for sure, the green alpine loop is great and durability of the materials crystal and Ti frame is 100 times better but that's it, no functional advantage over the latest apple watch. Full price is a no go for me, $600 should have been the regular price since the release and I would get one for that price. .

A lot of comments seem to miss the point of this watch.

It is a VERY good activity tracking watch and is meant to compete with offerings from Garmin, etc. I'm a runner and I used to have to carry my phone in addition to an activity tracking watch. I carried my phone in case of emergencies (it can happen when you're doing very long runs) or to listen to music or audio books. I got the Ultra 1 about a year ago and it has been really great for tracking runs and I can leave my phone at home now. I've taken work calls on it, called for a ride/pickup during a lightening storm and listened to many hours of music, podcasts and audio books. Sure you can buy it for the specs or size and wear it as a casual watch but that's not really the job it is meant to do.

All that said, if you're buying it for real activity tracking and you live somewhere hot and humid this cloth watch band is going to get soaked in your sweat and will be gross. I changed out the watch band but if I had realized that before I bought it I would have chosen one of the plastic bands. That's also true if you're going to be wearing it in the water for swimming or surfing or whatever. You'll want a different watch band.

lol let's see in a months time if you're still using it…another gimmick from the Apple marketing dept…..again this years updates on the watch & iPhone were the worst ever
I use the siri to respond to texts quickly since a big reason for the watch is to avoid ahinvg my phone with me in my pocket. Phone is usually plugged in on desk meanwhile I can stay active and respond to watch. It's much faster and quite accurate. If there is an error in my text, the other person can see that it was sent using siri so they get it. I had the Ultra 2 since day 1 so it's been a month and im thrilled each time I send off a text. I never used siri over the years because of the siri delay wiht responses.

You can "remove free gift" it's only for new or resubscribing customers. They do that so people don't get free Apple Music for returning or cancelling an item.

Quote from NilsK :
Went in store as I saw the same issue when attempting to cancel my pick up order online. After some back and forth at the counter I got the full refund.
Had the similar experience when I was trading in my iPad 5th gen. The desk employees stood me up for20 minutes before telling that they cannot accept the return in the last 10 minutes of the day, they could've told me at 7:30 when I reached at their desk. The employees were rude. Went to cancel the trade in on the app and it showed that I will lose on $32 for cancelling my order. Tried calling the number from the app, they couldn't understand the issue. Tried reaching store manager the next day, apparently you can't dial the store number directly without talking to someone overseas. I ended up going after a week, had to give finger prints for trade in. Deleted the Best-buy account right after stepping out of the store.
My last few experiences with BestBuy haven't been pleasant at all.

Say you don't need it for media consumption or calling. Would you say it is worth the bump vs an Instinct 2 on sale?

My 1 is giving Garmin induced battery issues and I'm weighing up options.

Agree. Only if I could have predicted the future. That would be part of my future orders, if I ever use Best Buy.

Sorry but that has got to be the ugliest band combination I have seen with the ultra, no wonder it's on sale, yellow, gray, and beige with lines going through it ? Who thought of that combo?….but decent off brand bands are cheap though

what would y'all say the chances of the ultra 2 going on sale on BF? or even the 1 dropping below 600 on BF? im close to snagging this since I can trade in my series 7 for $135 off but I definitely can wait another month if the chances are high for both watches will be on sale .
thanks!
