Side-by-side, a new Series 8 41mm watch looks the same size as an original Series 0 38mm one, and a new Series 8 45mm looks the same size as an original 42mm model. Over the model generations, those sizes have been described by Apple in ever-increasing sizes:įrom a subjective perspective though, these watches have been the same sizes: smaller and larger. With the Series, uh, series of Apple Watch models, we’ve always and only had two sizes. If you’ve got large wrists, on the other hand, you might try on Apple Watch Ultra and react, “Finally.” People - men and women alike - with even small wrists can get away with surprisingly large watches. But if you’re thinking “this is too big for me” because you’re worried about how others will think it looks on your wrist, you’re overthinking it. Your watch should make you happy every time you look at it. What I’m saying here is that if you go to a store and try on an Apple Watch Ultra, there is a very good chance your reaction is going to be “This is way too big for me.” If you’re thinking that because you don’t like the way it looks, well, then Ultra is not for you. But we humans are self-conscious beings, and a first-person perspective of your own wrist is not at all like the perspective of others looking at your wrist. It’s that the watch itself looks too big.

A lot of people are very self conscious about wearing a large or even large-ish watch. Here’s a thing I’ve learned over the years as a somewhat serious watch enthusiast.

But it is also definitely for a lot of people. If anything, arguably Apple is overdue to offer something like the Ultra: an entirely different expression of what an Apple Watch can be.

If Apple Watch Ultra were the first (and thus only) Apple Watch, people would lose their minds. I know some do, like Target, they used in-house apps for retail employees, but the real market was consumer apps.Apple Watch Ultra Wednesday, 21 September 2022 Companies having custom in-house native apps for their employees.

iOS 7 was a major upgrade for the UI and networking, so it sucked. Back then, it was nearly a $300 investment for a nice iPodTouch and it was outdated when iOS 7 came out. So I built a Hackintosh and bought a fully loaded iPodTouch. Apple had the security, but you had to invest more. This doesn't fly with businesses that need secure data. Back in 2009~2010, I was looking to make mobile business apps based on the theory that mobile enterprise apps would be a huge thing and security was going to be a huge issue.īack in the day, they found that a small number, maybe a 100 or so, of the top apps on Android, were fake. The whole thing was so fractured back then, so many versions of the OS, so many screen sizes/specs, it was a nightmare. I started with Android, setup a laptop just for that.
