Are you freaking kidding? Is your entire article serious saying "miles ahead" because the color is changing and no other information?

I am a triathlete and the ultra, which I had high hopes for, fails in every sport compared to real athletic watches.

1) longer battery life is better than short. Talk to me when it lasts a whole week, like every other sports watch.

2) The new side button is 100% useless for sports. It doesnt even do anything for the workout or fitness apps that come with the watch. At worst it should be a lap button, because when you swim or are sweaty or it rains, the screen is useless.

3) it doesnt connect to anything, no heart rate monitor, no power pedals, no trainer, no cadence meter. I mean, thats a pretty basic requirement.

There are a TON of ways that this watch could have been a great sports watch, it has all the sensors needed for it, and none of the use.

But hey, New color. That wil fix it.
