Does your watch stay in good condition during workouts? Have you noticed any scratches or screen damage? How do you take care of your watch?
I got an Ultra 2 last month. I mostly use it for running and lifting weights. It hasn’t scratched at all yet.
I wash my watch with water after each workout to keep dirt from collecting around the sensor.
@Phoenix
Which band do you like best?
I have an Ultra 2 in natural titanium and use it similarly. I use the ocean band for workouts because it’s easy to clean and dries quickly.
At other times, including when I sleep, I use the alpine loop since it’s more breathable. I’m still amazed at how comfortable and light this watch is. I thought it would be hard to wear at night, but I hardly notice it.

Thanks for the information. Those are the two bands I’m thinking about for my AWU2.
Not the other person, but I prefer sport loop.
I hear good things!
Ocean band is easy to dry unlike the loops.
That’s cool. Ocean band was my first choice for activities and sweat, but the alpine came with my AWU2. It seems many people swap out bands even during the day depending on their activity. I just removed a Nike sport band from my old series 7 that had been on for over 2 years. It took me hours to remove them due to hard water and other dirt that had built up under them.
I use the alpine loop for everyday wear, including the gym, and the Nike sport loop for running.
I use the sports band for workouts because it’s easier to wash, then the alpine loop for everything else since it looks nicer to me.

I had a product red before. It seems a common issue for the ‘paint’ to come off. I know it’s not paint per se, but still…
How long does your battery last?

I just had the battery replaced, so it lasts all day without AOD on.
That’s including a one-hour workout and around 10-15,000 steps a day.
I use it for bouldering twice a week. I just put a sweat band over it and have never damaged it.
I use a bump case and have no issues.
Just upgrading my S5 to an Ultra 2. I haven’t used a protector yet. A few scratches on the screen and some on the body from normal use. I’ve been lucky not to drop it or anything.

Do you have the scratches on your S5 or Ultra 2?
@Hale
The S5 had scratches after 5 years, but the Ultra 2 is coming tomorrow.

Congrats on the U2!
