QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 21 2022, 02:32 AM) time for an upgrade, buy first think later lol anyway, yes AWU looks good, especially the 49mm..but I wont be surprised if they inherit this design for the next AW series.. Agree. Especially when they realize that there's a group of users who prefer the bigger and tougher series. AW7 here, upgrading as temptation is too much. π

QUOTE(d@odao @ Oct 1 2022, 08:59 AM) Somehow this is also true. π Ya, I somewhat agree with that too. But at the same time, I'd like to try keeping my device in as good condition as I can so that it can later be passed to someone else if the need arises. Like now that 3G is history and when I come across someone who can't afford to get another phone, or something along the line.

Case for the AWU will definitely be more glaring, given its size. And TG is out for me too, since it'd more or less affect the touch sensitivity. I use only those thin flexible film, and it works well.
AW7's my first AW so I've a bumper, had to because it took me a few months to learn to be more careful to avoid hitting my wrist on anything. But... even a transparent bumper can spoil the AW-look...

QUOTE(Roadwarrior1337 @ Oct 1 2022, 02:22 PM) My COROS pace 2 last 14 days single charge with 3x 3 hour GPS base activity rides. It is also used by fastest Marathoner on earth eliud kipchoge simply because its GPS accuracy is out of this world and its So damn light i only feel the weight of the nylon straps This is something apple has not manage to do. Who wants a watch that u got to charge everyday or few day once. They shud invent solar base watch if they dont know how to optimize it If you're talking about just for activities alone, I guess the AW that can do lots more things isn't for you then.

QUOTE(shockk @ Oct 15 2022, 10:51 AM) After tinkering with the colour schemes of the Wayfinder Watch Face, this is currently my favourite AOD look for it. π₯°  I've been trying to get something like this. Care to share how? I prefer it darker shade but been getting too many colors around.

QUOTE(shockk @ Oct 15 2022, 11:33 AM) Sure bro. I just used the Grey colour setting. But take note only the AOD looks that way. When the Watch is active, the Minutes ring actually is fully white in colour (which I would prefer it to be blacked out like the AOD). βΊοΈ  Thank you very much, I'll go work on it. Greatly appreciated.  Yes, it's that white ring that's getting on my nerves. This post has been edited by RDoe: Oct 15 2022, 11:45 AM

QUOTE(manusia80 @ Oct 16 2022, 03:35 PM)  This just happened, ayam thought it is a night mode or something which ayam not activate and even dunno how to. How to disable it and get my original watch face? Thatβs the night mode or something from the exclusive to Apple Watch Ultra Wayfinder face. You must have accidentally turned the crown for that to happen, just have to turn it back. This post has been edited by RDoe: Oct 16 2022, 04:36 PM

For those who remember those old Swatch days when they'd oversized watch models, it really depends on how the individual carries off a watch. There are straps of all sorts of colors, patterns, widths, etc, out there, to make the overall look more glaring or subdued, it's up to the individual to work it out. It's like matching a baggy shirt to slim-cut or baggy pants? It's the individual's choice. If a woman likes the other features of an Apple Watch Ultra well enough, I'm pretty sure she'll work it out somehow. But if she's already into some other smart watches, the mere look of an AWU can already be a turnoff. Think of the possibility of why Apple made this model with a flat screen. Then imagine how a 49mm will look like if they'd continued with the old look. Just use whatever you feel comfortable with, don't need to follow the crowd.

QUOTE(eyez98 @ Oct 20 2022, 01:55 PM) Wrist shot after getting it yesterday. Itβs not too big at all, Iβm ok with the size. Didnβt try the alpine band yet, as I feel very comfortable with the current nomad sport band.  I say this isn't too big for the vast majority, not even some ladies. Just have to find a more suitable strap to go with. In fact, after you use this for a few days, you might find the older/smaller models puny. I feel my 45mm looks a bit weird these days.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jun 1 2023, 12:27 PM) Hi, is it true that Ultra will not get any refreshed model this year or next year? If yes, I will buy an Ultra soon. If the MicroLED display is the only expected new feature, then maybe not? Apple is working on an updated version of the Apple Watch Ultra that has an improved microLED display, but the device won't launch until the second half of 2025, according to information shared by display analyst Ross Young.https://www.macrumors.com/2023/04/27/apple-...%20Ross%20Young.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 5 2023, 06:21 PM) Wait, I suddenly read that Ultra 2 will be announced next week? Apple will make me "broke." I haven't bought the Ultra yet, so I will buy one if U2 is coming.  I've to sit quietly with my Ultra and pretend I didn't see anything about a U2. Still have to get a 15 Pro Max to replace my 12PM, shiver to think that I'd "need" an Ultra2 as well.

QUOTE(tzxsean @ Nov 11 2023, 08:29 AM) worth buying at around 2.7k? am using 45mm S7 now which was bought last year I don't have a big wrist just worry it will look silly and also i like the lightweight factor of normal AW I'd say worth or not is up to individuals. I got the original Ultra when my 45mm S7 was only 5-month old and I'm still happy I did it. I don't have a big wrist either, but then I'm used to having "big" watches coming from G-Shocks before I first got an Apple Watch.
