5 Reasons to BUY the Apple Watch Ultra
In a recent post, I listed five reasons NOT to buy the Apple Watch Ultra.
Now here are 5 reasons you SHOULD buy it. Just like in the last post, these are in no particular order.
- Price… I know what you are saying “That was the number 1 reason NOT to buy the watch in the previous article, is this guy nuts”? Let me explain.

Maybe you just forget to charge your watch one night? No problem, the Ultra will be fine the next day, also unlike any other Apple Watch. If sleep tracking is important to you, than the extended battery will make that much more manageable.
- Screen Size… That is a biggie for me. My aging eyes take full advantage of the added screen size. Typing out a message is actually very easy with the Ultra. The Wayfinder watch face, which is exclusive to the Ultra, takes full advantage of…
