which should have been expected. after 10 years the market is saturated, and it's a mature product that has had no killer feature to upgrade early for.

I had the Series 4 awhile back, and it died after a very shallow dip in the water. Took the opportunity to upgrade to the Ultra 1, and I see absolutely no reason to upgrade past it. It isn't fundamentally different than... well, the other Apple Watches, beyond having a button you can't set to do anything particularly useful and having an ever so slightly larger screen (which is the main reason I got it).

So your apple watch broke doing something you should be able to do with it and you "upgrade" to the same watch? Wow.

Well, to be fair, my old Series 4 was a refurb, so the waterproofing likely wasn’t factory fresh.

I have the first gen Apple Watch SE from half a decade ago and I haven’t been given a reason to upgrade to the SE 2, much less whatever flagship we’re up to now.

I’ve had an Apple Watch 5 since it came out and I see no reason to upgrade. The only thing I really dislike is the battery life but to fix that you’d need to get a Garmin or similar. So can’t think of a reason I would upgrade.
