Really? Will look into Garmin.

My Apple watch can control most of my house (lights, unlock w/ homekey, etc). Doorbell pushes thumbnails of visitors straight to watch.

Can control all my entertainment devices through Siri. Applepay. Unlock my MacBook. Integrates well with carplay--vibrates when it's time to exit/turn. And ofc, workouts/health/etc.

Looks like a bunch of buyers remorse returns, given this just came out.

I have a Garmin Epix Gen 2 that I got for the long battery life and fitness/activity tracking. Been eyeing an apple watch for the smart home control. I guess I have to wear a watch on each wrist!

Apple Watch HR is more accurate than Garmin. I have both but only use my Garmin fenix for hiking and long trail rides.

Are people really paying $700 for a watch? That gets old in a year and still look the same?
As crazy as it seems to people like us, yes, people really are paying $700 for these. I personally couldn't fathom that. I'm interested in getting a smartwatch but I don't want to spend anything like that and I'm an Android guy anyways.

I still use ultra 1 and I don't see a point to sell it for 1/4th price and buy latest model.Rinse repeat every year?Apple ecosystem of watch and phone is over $2k a year. Money is a joke in 2025.

Is this really only 42hr of battery life? Garmin is slightly more expensive but at least you would get a real watch that lasts for half a month and can do way more than this.
In 54 and a half hours It has gone down from 95% to 10% for me.

Multiple workouts during this time.

I just switched from garmin fenix 7 pro to AWU1. Think of it like garmin is better for JUST activites, but apple watch is basically a full phone with so much more features and stuff you can do with it.

For ppl who like to eliminate distractions - you can use your AW as a phone replacement and leave phone behind. No more scrolling, and works just fine as a basic calls/texts/workouts/music device.

Just something to consider.

Meh, to each their own. I'm in the Apple ecosystem, and this uw3 is my third Apple Watch, first ultra. I use all the functions, am developing for the Apple Watch and iPhone, and do a lot of outdoor sports like dirt bike riding and much more. Just being able to open my garage door from my wrist is helpful.

Being able to text my ai assistant to do whatever I need, literally from the middle of nowhere thanks to satellite connectivity? That feels like the future.

For all those complaining about the price? To some, $800 doesn't mean very much. For many, that is the case. If that isn't the case for you, then perhaps this watch isn't for you either.

Bestbuy does have a deal of $50 off with bb+ or better membership, which is also $50. $45 restocking fee on these. 60 day returns with membership, 14d I think without.

Costco has them new for $20 off retail with a great return policy (90 days I think), no restocking fee.

Wait longer if you want to get one used.

Wait even longer for a bigger sale.
