What in the world did folks do in several weeks for it to be in "fair" condition?!

It may say that but open box ones are not supposed to have a restocking fee. You can always ask at the store when you pick it up.
Since it's already an "Open Box" you should be able to give it a good look/test before purchasing it.

In for 1. Going from a Series7. Lets hope the battery health on these things are good... I imagine they would be, since the watch is only a month old or so.

A Best Buy manager once told me that they have zero control over open box pricing except that they can label the condition as they see fit. He said many managers will label an item "poor" that is really in "excellent" condition just to get the price down and sell it. I guess a lot of the Best Buy outlets label everything "poor" condition, which will still show up in the open box section for the regular retail locations.

Yep, a bunch of people wondering why they'd shell out $800 for almost the same Ultra 1 or 2 watch they already had. Sure, a couple of small features and a new processor but not really much difference.Many of the newer watchOS26 features are available on Ultra 2 as well
Agree. I had the Ultra 1 and don't feel the cost was worth it for the Ultra 3. Brighter screen in sunlight is helpful and the improved battery life is nice. Other than that, don't see any noticeable improvements that justify the expense.

I bought the Ultra 3 with the idea of upgrading from OG Ultra. Unless you need satellite comms, it is definitely not worth it. I could not tell a single difference in daily use. Battery life is better but not 800 better,

I had both. The brighter screen is not noticeable in bright daylight. I returned mine.

Also went from a series 7 to this and was very happy I did. As far as the battery life on these, I have a friend who had the ultra 2 and went to the ultra 3, and their 2 still had a max battery capacity at 100% after a year of use which was wild to me. So I can only assume you should be good with it only being 3.5 weeks old.

Sold out for the cheaper ones. Only $700 left, but I assume we will see sales for new ones at that price soon
