Apple Watch Ultra 2

Downgrading my Apple Watch to a fitness tracker

For the past 2 years, I’ve been contemplating updating (not upgrading) my daily use tech and I finally took the leap last month. I’ve come up with a list of items and the first one to go – my Apple Watch Ultra 2.

I started using the Apple Watch since the launch of Series 2. Since then, except for Series 3, I’ve owned and religiously used every other series of the Apple Watch, every day, pretty much 24/7.

Not anymore.

I now use my Apple Watch to track my sleep, workouts, and for my morning wake up alarm.

No more wearing the watch 24/7 to check the Calendar, Reminder, Weather, notifications, unlocking computer, unlocking 1Password, etc. I got my cellular plan on my watch canceled too. I rely way too much on my Apple Watch and without it, I can notice the difference. The most important feature I miss is the Calendar and Reminder notifications, which I rely on heavily. The rest, I’ve already gotten used to.

That’s it. My Apple Watch is now a fitness tracker. A great one at that.
