I bought the used Ultra2 two weeks ago for $550 after reading the predictions that the Ultra3 would have minimal upgrades and features. I think that it was a great upgrade from my AW8.

Worth it? My AW6 is at 81% battery capacity. If I use it as a backup to my bike computer for a ride, I can barely get to the end of the day with it. I've stopped doing that, but it means I have no backup if my bike computer fails to record properly. And because it charges at night, I don't get sleep tracking. So I'm thinking a new AW9 as a day watch and my AW6 as a night watch will fix both issues.

Keeping my Pearly Whites and my oral hygiene in the best possible shape is a priority. I've been using Oral-B for over 30yrs. I will continue to upgrade because their products simply, work. My Dentist confirms on my visits twice a year.
This particular model is incredible.

The night watch is most useful to me as a remote control for the house, as well as displaying CGM alerts from my sugar tattle tale. Hear a bear rattling the garbage cans at 2 AM? "Hey Siri, turn on the garage flood lights." The flashlight feature also comes in handy, because OCD psycho dog has a habit of jumping into my warm spot in the bed and I need to check that I won't lie down on him when returning from the driver's lounge.

I always demote my current Apple Watch to night duty when I buy a new one. The current night watch, crazy as this sounds, is my beloved $1,400 ceramic AW3 that is now cut off from WatchOS upgrades. I don't buy the entry-level Apple Watches, and have cellular service on my day watch.....

Seems to be more apple watch folks here, but Im invested in Samsung/Android. I just bought a Samsung smart watch 5 months ago, but Samsung trade in on the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is giving me $150.00 more than I paid for it. So, what the hey.. pre-ordered it.

If they still supported Apple connectivity I’d be doing the same. I’ve got an older Samsung watch that links up to the company iPhone. Would really like a new one…

My summer vacation... If I can do a pallet a week-end, I should be done by the end of September.

I did the front of the house 15 years ago, should have the done the rest of it back then. Would have save money and body pain.

Scratch & Sniff samples have been in women's mags for years, but I see your point.

Saw this one in the theater with my wife. We were both issued a scratch-n-sniff card. At certain points in the movie it would tell you to scratch and sniff a particular odor. It was strange but effective... sort of.

The worst part was you didn’t know if it was going to be a good smell like roses or a bad smell like fake-gasoline smell 😂

This is true. You didn’t know what you were going to get. You just scratch and sniff and take your chances.

So long ago I forgot until JJ reminded me. I think I didn’t want to remember.
