Size options are well received, with 42mm and 46mm choices helping smaller and larger wrists.
Pros: battery life, value for money
Cons: coaching features, recovery insights
Size options were viewed positively for offering 40mm and 44mm choices, especially for smaller wrists.
Pros: display quality, value for money
Cons: ECG functionality, battery life
Size options were mixed: bigger displays helped usability, but reviewers worried about small wrists and the loss of very small options.
Pros: charging speed, display quality
Cons: battery life, water resistance
The two case sizes cover common wrist preferences, but the larger 46mm model’s higher upcharge makes sizing up less attractive than before.
Pros: value for money, heart rate accuracy
Cons: data privacy
Size options were a weakness because the same large case felt too thick and bulky for smaller wrists.
Pros: battery life, heart rate accuracy
Cons: comfort, value for money
Size options were a repeated drawback because the Ultra 2 is only offered in a large 49mm case.
Pros: battery life, voice assistant quality
Cons: value for money, mapping and navigation
The single 49mm size remains a recurring complaint, particularly for smaller wrists that would benefit from a second, more compact Ultra option.
Pros: battery life, value for money
Cons: data privacy, comfort
