The Ultra is bigger than previous models with a 49mm Screen, previous models were 41, 44 or 45mm

A new feature only on the Ultra is this orange button called the action button, which can be programmed to open workouts, Dive, track hikes and other things but also can be used to run shortcuts and thats something I see myself doing with it.

I have never played with shortcuts on the iPhone so that will be a learning curve for me, my Plan is to assign the button to different things, possibly dependent on time of day, but have no clue how to do that yet

To explain what I am thinking of, I would want that button to turn on the flashlight feature ( which is a lot brighter on this watch) at night if I am home, so if I get up in the dark I can click the button and see where I am going without turning on the house lights.

but if I am out walking somewhere I will want it to instead open a walking goal on my watch, and i believe I can use shortcuts to have that setup as the watch will know both the time and whether i am at home or out and about.

I have other ideas but thats my initial goal wish me luck working it out LOL

IT has longer battery life they say 36 hours I believe, but from my use so far, i went two days without charging it and I was using it a lot playing around with it and setting it up

It is bigger than previous models but having worn it for a couple of days I dont find that an issue at all, is rugged with a Titanium Body a Sapphire crystal screen is capable to be used as a diving watch down to 100M, not something i foresee myself doing.

Same say its more a watch for adventure seekers and they may be right but so far I am very happy with it

you can have multiple watch faces on the watch, I have setup 5 that meet my current needs, and have three set to come up automatically by time of day.

OK enough on the Watch, back to the phone to finish off this post, one upgrade it has is a 48MP camera, and even though I know I wont use it much as I prefer shooting photos for my camera I decided to check it out with a few shots on my walk the other day and all the photos in this post were taken using the phone

By default the camera is set to 12MP mode, you have to change a setting to enable RAW mode and the 48MP, these photos were mostly at 12, but the first one at least was set to 48MP, I also didn't send these to my PC, I just used the phone camera editing tool, and didn't do many adjustments

It has an impressive zoom, this shot of the building which was across the pond was at 15 times zoom, and isnt to bad at all

It also does a reasonable job of semi macro shots

And isn't to bad at night or in the case of this next photo early morning.

All in all not to bad at all for catching photos, but i know I wont use it much as I much prefer getting out with my big camera, but it will be handy to have with me if I am ever somewhere without my camera bag, and know I can get a reasonable shot with my phone.

Also I know if I use one of the camera apps on my phone and edit them even in lightroom on the phone the images would be even better
