I’ve been using generic sport bands, purchased on Amazon. They have the holes similar to the Nike sport band.

No issues for the past year, been very happy with them.

I tried it once just to see if it did anything - it did pick up the double tap, but I didn’t notice what it did, so I’ll probably never use it…

I started on the iPhone 3G. And while I’ve never owned an Android as a daily driver, I’ve certainly had to use them or support staff or customers at work who needed assistance doing something on them.

To me, iPhones are just about as easy as you’ll find, yet still have a lot of capability.

Sure, modding the phone back in the day with Jailbreaking was cool and fun to do, but the iPhone kept adding features that I was getting through JB, so it just was no longer worth the hassle of not only going through the process, but then also not being able to update the phone with security fixes.

I like the quality of the build, the fact that the phone basically doesn’t crash (I remember back in the 4 days, trying to run tons of apps at the same time, and the phone just wouldn’t slow down enough to be noticeable), and of course the ecosystem is great - I got the iPad the year it came out, and only last year did I finally decide to get the Apple Watch, and that’s been great for tracking my health in general, as well as being useful at work.

I just upgraded from the Series 8 to the Ultra 2, mainly for the better battery life. I try to wear it most of the day, including sleep tracking and gym workouts, so the Ultra 2 has already proven itself.

I was able to wear it without charging for a day and a half, and even then, I was only down in the 30% battery range. It likely could last a little over 2 days without too much trouble.

The Ultra is bigger than the normal version, but it’s not outrageously large, unless you have very slim wrists. I have large wrists, so it doesn’t really look out of place on me.

With my Series 8, I would charge up fully before bed, then put it on the charger while getting ready in the morning, where it would usually hit about 95% charge.

Wear it all day at work (8:30 - 4:30), and getting home in the evening, it would usually be at anywhere from 65-75%.

Just bought the Ultra 2, and don’t have to worry about that anymore. I’ve been able to wear it pretty much a day and a half without charging it at all, and it’s still at around 35-40%. Very happy I decided to get the Ultra.

I use it for tracking sleep, going to the gym, and even approving 2FA requests at work. It’s been a lot more versatile than I thought when I initially bought it.

On the AW Series 8, I pretty much only wore it at work, then let it charge back up, and would use it to track sleep.

Now that I have the Ultra 2, I can actually go over a day without taking it off, thanks to the better battery life. So the only times I take the watch off are for charging and taking a shower.
