Q: What are the main differences between the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Ultra 1?

A: The key differences include the internal processor, with the Ultra 2 featuring Apple's S9 compared to the Ultra 1's S8. Also, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 offers a brighter display, supporting up to 3,000 nits, while the Ultra 1 supports up to 2,000 nits. However, most users didn't find these upgrades compelling enough to justify a switch.

Q: Does the Apple Watch Ultra 2 have performance improvements over the Ultra 1?

A: While the Apple Watch Ultra 2 has a newer S9 processor, the original Ultra with its S8 processor didn't exhibit any lag or performance issues. Therefore, many users might not notice a significant difference in performance between the two models.

Q: Is it a good idea to sell the Apple Watch Ultra 1 to buy the Ultra 2?

A: Both watches are priced at $799, so selling the Ultra 1 could help offset the cost of the Ultra 2. However, given the minor upgrades in the Ultra 2, it's probably not worth the hassle of selling and purchasing anew unless you get an exceptionally good offer for your original Ultra. It might be better to wait for the Apple Watch Ultra 3 for a more substantial upgrade.
