Apple Watch Ultra 2, an upgrade from the 8. I also mounted the new wheels and am rubbing slightly so I'll need to roll the fenders. The Eastwood roller is on it's way.

Small update if you're still considering...since I trashed them a little.

I send them a message (email) Thursday night about the missing trays. Without responding, they overnighted 4 trays to me for Saturday delivery. So, I'm happy with this.

Will also state that these are way more comfortable than the theater seating I replaced. I'd consider again...just note the extra long wait for custom pieces. Best of luck in your search.

Dropped more than a few Benjamins today prepping my R1200GS by a local BMW Master Tech. *Complete* overhaul and tune-up, new "Alaska Grade" tires and new mesh gear to get me through the hot spots on the ride.

Leaving on 5 July to ride from Denver through Rocky Mountain National Park, Hells Canyon, over the Idaho passes, up into the Cascades, down the Olympic Peninsula, spending a week with my father, then up to Port Angeles, up Vancouver Island, ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, over to Hyder, AK, up to the Yukon, over to Skagway, Haines, Haines Junction, then over to hot springs in the Yukon, down the Kootenay Rockies, back over the border somewhere around Montana, then through Yellowstone and over to Sturgis. My buddy's going to meet me there with my other bike (a V-Rod Muscle) and we'll spend the week riding together before I ride back to Denver.

Total should be about 35 days, 10,000+ miles, and almost all dispersed (i.e. "find a spot and pitch your tent") camping, so I'll need to bring camping gear, food and water. I'll be out of cell coverage for about 80% of the ride. And most importantly? The plan is to not ride on a single mile of Interstate the entire trip.

My wife *has* mandated that I take my GPS tracker (i.e. "the leash") so she knows where I am.

Variety is the spice of life, watchbands are the new accessories. My next purchase will likely be a used Omega or Tag Heuer Speedmaster Chronograph.

I have a half dozen Sport Loop bands I rotate through with my AW6. Thinking about getting an AW9 and running a day watch and a night watch just for sleep tracking. Waiting to see if the AW9 drops in price a bit on Prime Day.

I bought the used Ultra2 two weeks ago for $550 after reading the predictions that the Ultra3 would have minimal upgrades and features. I think that it was a great upgrade from my AW8.

Worth it? My AW6 is at 81% battery capacity. If I use it as a backup to my bike computer for a ride, I can barely get to the end of the day with it. I've stopped doing that, but it means I have no backup if my bike computer fails to record properly. And because it charges at night, I don't get sleep tracking. So I'm thinking a new AW9 as a day watch and my AW6 as a night watch will fix both issues.

Keeping my Pearly Whites and my oral hygiene in the best possible shape is a priority. I've been using Oral-B for over 30yrs. I will continue to upgrade because their products simply, work. My Dentist confirms on my visits twice a year.
This particular model is incredible.

The night watch is most useful to me as a remote control for the house, as well as displaying CGM alerts from my sugar tattle tale. Hear a bear rattling the garbage cans at 2 AM? "Hey Siri, turn on the garage flood lights." The flashlight feature also comes in handy, because OCD psycho dog has a habit of jumping into my warm spot in the bed and I need to check that I won't lie down on him when returning from the driver's lounge.

I always demote my current Apple Watch to night duty when I buy a new one. The current night watch, crazy as this sounds, is my beloved $1,400 ceramic AW3 that is now cut off from WatchOS upgrades. I don't buy the entry-level Apple Watches, and have cellular service on my day watch.....

Seems to be more apple watch folks here, but Im invested in Samsung/Android. I just bought a Samsung smart watch 5 months ago, but Samsung trade in on the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is giving me $150.00 more than I paid for it. So, what the hey.. pre-ordered it.

If they still supported Apple connectivity I’d be doing the same. I’ve got an older Samsung watch that links up to the company iPhone. Would really like a new one…

My summer vacation... If I can do a pallet a week-end, I should be done by the end of September.

I did the front of the house 15 years ago, should have the done the rest of it back then. Would have save money and body pain.
