Lovely. Ordered an Ultra 2 with white band last week to make sure I got one with sensor. Box completely empty. No watch. No charger. No band. Thief was thorough as the box looked factory sealed. On hold with Best Buy while they file a claim with UPS. 22 minutes so far.
The thief must read the news/macrumors ?
