Apple Watch Ultra Review

The Apple Watch Ultra is definitely the cream of the crop in the world of smart watches. 
I upgraded from the Apple Watch 7 and am definitely glad I did!  It is a much better fit for my fitness / sport needs and goals.  Initially, I was worried about the larger size but I am happy to report that even on my smaller wrist it looks fine.  It doesn't feel heavy to wear which is surprising to me.  
I have a lot more playing around to do with the watch to hopefully learn how push it to its full capabilities.
The only issues I have with it is that the band was initially uncomfortable and stiff but as I wore it and got the band wet, it softened up a bit.  Another downfall is that it tends to shift on my wrist.  This could be a band issue or just the weight/size of the watch on my smaller wrist.  Finally, there seems to be some communication issues between my watch and iPhone.  This is between apps like Strava and basic features such as messaging and calls.

I am hoping I can figure these few things out so I can have a more seamless experience.  I will update my review as I work more with this watch.
