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.

Hmmm, I just switched back to the #applewatchultra2 – it’s just so massively superior to the standard #applewatch

I really prefer the sleek #aw9 design, but battery life and functionality are just way more awesome on the #ultra2

So, I just woke up and put on the Ultra 2, feels like being home again. #Running

@kendricklmao8, yeah, I can see the appeal of the 13's green. I skipped the 13 and 15.

I ordered the #NaturalTitanium for the 16, to match my #Ultra2 but I'm not sure if I want to exchange it for #TitaniumWhite later on.

While on holiday I decided to look at reconfiguring the Watch #Ultra2. I was wearing the orange strap I bought (current fave) which means the colour used on the watch was 'Ultra Orange'. This works nicely with my fashion colours which at the moment which are variations of olive green and orange :)

Anyway apart from the colours I decided to revamp the complications on the #ModularUltra face to be:
Alarm (Apple)
Messages (Apple)
Countdowns
Time
Calendar 366
WeatherGraph
Weather (Apple)
Goodtask
With the bezel set to 'Elevation'.

Then scrolling up to the view modules I have in use:
Wallet / Cards
Calendar 366 (testing)
Weather (Apple)
Activity
Pinned useful apps
This is actually working so well for me I'm actually using it now we've returned home. Anyway I thought I'd share.
