A lot of cool tech but it seems extremely unnecessary.

But then again, I said the same about iPads and see how that turned out lol

Maybe I’ll consider the third or fourth iteration, if people identify a cool and unique use-case for it.

And it has to be cheaper too. 3,500 dollarydoos is just too much.

I think that the battery solution is just goofy and very un-Apple. Steve Jobs would have fired the person making that suggestion.

Are you perhaps allergic to the material on the strap?

Might be worth trying a different material and see how you get on.

I think the main issue is that the case is way too big. I tried moving it around and wearing tighter today but it actually gave me a blister.

I will try wearing it a bit higher, with the right edge of the case exactly on my wristbone and see what happens.

By case, do you mean a case you put your Watch Ultra in, or just the body of the device?

Hmmm. That’s a shame. I don’t know what the comfort of the Ultra is like because I have a Series 7. But that’s very comfortable (to me).
I had a similar issue with the S7, but not as bad as this one. I gave that one to my gf and she repeatedly complains about rashes as well.

Moved it a bit but still no luck, I have a rash and a pimple on the spot I placed it.

I will revert back to my old Garmin and sell this one. Shame!

So I went back to read the damn instructions for my Watch on how to wear it and it’s much better now, although I still need to buy a band that’s more fitting for everyday use.

I got one for my birthday... the use is pretty much a media player(it does play games too). A media player instead of the one built into TVs or instead of connecting a computer to the TV. If one is in the apple system it makes sense, otherwise one can use any other media player, or even build one with raspberry pi.

Having your iPhone as a fully functional phone on your Mac looked dope as hell! Since I have my on a dock as clock most of the day while sitting on my computer it is quite welcome.
