A question for Apple Watch users: Series 9 or Ultra? Is Ultra too big? Which one to buy? I currently have a Fitbit Sense which is 40.48mm (1.58in) and moving on to the Apple world.

Please note: I am not looking for any price or ecosystem discussion here, I just want to hear more about the Apple Watch user experience. Thanks in advance.

@rolle I went from a 45mm to the Ultra and it’s definitely more sports-watch-y. Just based on size alone I would choose the 45mm.

But the Ultra was actually cheaper than the steel 45mm I looked at, so overall I’m happy with the purchase.

@karppinen The price is not an issue.

@rolle I wear the 41mm Apple Watch. The 45mm is big on me, but tolerable. At 49mm, the Ultra is just too big. The first time I tried one on, I thought “Wow, it’s lighter than I expected. But still way too big.”

If you can, it’s worth going in to an Apple Store. You can try on all three sizes and see the colors and band options in person.

@felyashono We have a couple of stores here but none of them didn't have any Ultras available in the store, only SE and 9.

@rolle I picked the Series 9 as the Ultra felt big on my wrist. I think it's one of those things to try out and see how it feels on you.

@WTL I tried in two different stores but they didn't have ultra there available to try :blob_smile_sweat: That's why I'm asking.

@rolle Do they have one available to purchase? If so, you could buy both and return one once you've had a chance to try them out.

Obviously check Apple's return policy, but here, it's two weeks, no questions. Bit roundabout, but you wouldn't be the first.

steve_west,

@rolle I have the ultra and after a few months I’m finding it to big it gets caught on things and a lot and in pockets I believe I’m gonna downgrade to 9

@steve_west Thanks for this! This is what I’m thinking too. It might be way too big for me.

jyrkiw,

@rolle I have currently a Series 7 watch, have been happy with it. Do you have a specific question about it? Personally I would stick with the normal watches, as I don’t have the need for Ultra features.
