I bought my watch in black friday 2022 just a couple months after being diagnosed with sleep apnea, after spending most of that year thinking I was dying because I was so tired.
I wanted to track my sleep and decided to get the Apple Watch SE, the cheapest option that is almost perfect as a sleep tracker device, but when I saw the Ultra, I was hooked. I ended up buying it and it has been a great purchase. I am tracking my activity and have become more active thanks to it. I have been able to correlate sleep quality with certain practices, improving my sleep drastically and with it my overall health, and this cannot be understated.
How does it help? Well, being reminded all the time about your activity levels brings a level of awareness that without a tracker you simply dont have. And it is one of those things in place helping you fight what is now and will be in the years to come the top killer and cause of pain and suffering in humanity: sedentary lifestyle.
I have kept incorporating good practices to my life and even when I still dont have many physical results to show (still overweight), many facets of my life have improved. The watch didnt do that directly but I am constantly reminded of the need to take action and keep improving.
Even its measure of VO2 max, the best predictor of sudden death and longevity there is, is something that will be a help in the tough process of changing bad habits and creating new ones. The Apple Watch could be one of the best ROI investments you can make if it happens to be an important tool in creating change in people as I think it has been to me.
Now the looks: I am a big guy. 6'3" and 320 pounds. The watch doesnt look massive on me as it does to many people, but doesnt look tiny as other alternatives. I like its looks on me.
Battery life is awesome. One of the reasons why I never bought an apple watch before was because I dont feel like charging a watch every day and more than once a day. The almost 3 days battery life was a huge deciding factor to me (I also got a 25% cash back with my credit card). The battery is still rocking almost 18 months later.
I understand most functions in the watch are available with cheaper models of the Apple Watch, but you dont get the rugged and nice looks and the battery life. Just those two things make me recommend the Ultra to anyone looking for a watch and a tool that will no doubt help you improve your health if you are decided to do it.
