I just got an iWatch Ultra from Santa.
I was a bit ambivalent about it but my iWatch 5 could get spotty reception at times and was bad with Dawn Patrol sometimes shutting down sessions.
I am only 2 days in but:
The Good:
- 2 hour surf session running Dawn Patrol only burns BATTERY from 100% to 80%
- The BAND appears to be much more robust
- Initial testing with Wet Fingers seems to work better
- Texting in formerly bad areas now works aka BETTER RECEPTION
The Bad
- Dawn Patrol appears to SMOOTH the speed on Waves with what looks like a running average. Lowering Max Speed. This eliminates the mini peaks on takeoff and troughs of speed during flight? See data from 2 apps below. Same Wave Max speed different
- There is now a difference between top speeds on Waterspeed and Dawn Patrol. With Waterspeed higher and Dawn Patrol reading 15% lower on MAX.
- The band is harder to get off quickly. Good (maybe) for not losing but more bothersome when daily charging
I am sure there is a WHOLE LOT MORE GOOD so let me know.
