I have wondered if I should update my Apple Watch 6 to Ultra 2 on some time since some people at least say here that the 5 mm have felt big difference. I noticed also from the specs that screen is 3x brighter in nits what sounds huge. The most what I am keen about is also the bigger battery, but not sure if that is worth the update because of that only.
So, if here is anybody who have updated from series 6 to Ultra 2, how has been your experience? Is that display much better in real life? Is it hard to sleep when watch is on your hand at night? Is brightness giving more value to you? What other good things and bad things you have seen, have you been happy with your update, would you do it again with your current knowledge?
I upgraded from the 7, not the 6. I kinda regret it… but then its complicated. The U2 is awesome, fast, ultra responsive, big bright screen. Its biggest challenge (its not really a challenge as you know this going in but its quite thicc and the face is pretty big). I would actually prefer it if it was just a hair thinner even if the battery comes down a little. The battery in some ways is too good. By this I mean its good enough to run 3 days on a full charge (for me), the con for this is you sometimes forget to charge it, because it stops being a daily habit. I loved my S7 stainless - I traded it in for £140 and it was worth more than that to me, so my bad for doing that. The one thing it was a bit slow with was siri (not very slow, but there was a noticeable pause on requests). The U2 is so fast with siri it almost makes the upgrade worth it just for that… if you use siri a lot, which I do! This watch will be good for at least 4 years if I choose to keep it.
TLDR the U2 is a great great watch. just be aware of the size. Also, dont be in a rush to trade in your old watch if it works fine…
