Quite nice actually.

Anyway, my cheapskate version.

got an update watchos 26.0.2
anyone updated already?

Already did, the other day.

Anybody upgrading from U2 to U3? I'm checking the comparison here and really no difference between U2 and U3 in term of software...
https://www.apple.com/watch/compare/?modelL...3,watch-ultra-2

Hardware wise, some differences:
6H extra, 15 minutes less charging time from 0% to 80%. 15 minutes for 12 hours of usage, 5 minutes for 8 hours of sleep tracking - this is actually nice.
Bigger screen, tough sapphire crystal display with titanium case.

Checked the Apple trade-in value, and it is RM 1,525 for my two-year-old U2. Battery health is now 97%, but I feel the battery life doesn't last as long once it drops below 100%.

Not sure if it is worth to to up RM 2174 for the latest U3.

did the update solve your issue?
bigger screen and battery with fast charging i think worth it if you have extra money.
go go upgrade . i'm gonna stick with my U2 at least 1-2 years more. battery still 100%

The problem is I don't. Looks like I should just stick to U2.

How is this even possible to retain 100% after two years? How's your charging behavior?

i think i charge it normally. rarely do overnight charge.
always charge to 90+ to 100% and rarely let my battery go below 30%.
my optimized charge limit is being turn off.
well, i think it just my luck. like your 16PM

Oh, that's a good practice. I always charge when it is 15%.

Not sure it is just me but the latest WatchOS drains battery quite badly, already done a few charges but still drains. But could be due to the battery health drops to 95% now.

i agree that the latest update kinda drains the watch battery.
my watch battery health drop to 99% on last weekend.
no more 100% for me.

OK, so I'm not alone. I thought it was the battery health that affected so much.

More than 2 years only dropped to 99%, ROI achieved.
