The bezel is way too wide on Ultra. The display area on Ultra is 1164 sq mm vs 1143 sq mm on a regular Watch 8: not much larger.

I’m still not sure if I like it or not…. Sometimes I look at it from certain angles and it looks hideous and other times I look at it and it looks beautiful…. Very bizzare I know…. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see it in person
