Would it be a better user experience to occasionally use my Apple Watch Ultra like a dumbphone? The answer is mixed. As others have pointed out, the design involves a good deal of screwing. The watch is secure, and the click wheel is mostly responsive. Unfortunately, i do still like to use my Apple Watch for runs and other workouts, but it’s no longer a daily driver. I wish that either this design worked like the RePod, where a single quarter turn is enough to free up the watch. Sadly, that brand doesn’t currently fit the Ultra. (They have one in crowdfunding at the moment, but it’s nearly $100, which is probably more than this is experiment is worth. In short, I’m returning this. But if you’re someone who is fine not ever wearing the watch again, this might be worth a shot.
