Pretty much, just got a custom cordovan leather watch band and I’m excited to wear it to a formal occasion

Same bro, probably is. Gotta wear it less tight. But then it moves around more, even more annoying when washing hands, worse if it’s leather and gets wet.

1. Battery life - I want to avoid charging my watch as much as possible as I’m a charging freak
2. Better display
3. Better durability
4. Want to get the “top of the line” as a status symbol
5. Futureproof

Many people are against screen protectors and cases on an ultra. It’s often compared to having a case for the Nokia phone, lol.

Personally, I’ve tried the Spigen case that has a built in screen protector which sucks because the sweat got trapped inside.

However, I currently have the Spigen Case as well as their screen protector, installed separately. Is it needed, no. Does it provide you with a peace of mind against scratches on your lovely watch/screen? Yes. It will help protect resale value. Plus, the case makes it much harder to accidently trigger the action button which was always a pet peeve of mine.
