I had the Series 4 awhile back, and it died after a very shallow dip in the water. Took the opportunity to upgrade to the Ultra 1, and I see absolutely no reason to upgrade past it. It isn't fundamentally different than... well, the other Apple Watches, beyond having a button you can't set to do anything particularly useful and having an ever so slightly larger screen (which is the main reason I got it).
So your apple watch broke doing something you should be able to do with it and you "upgrade" to the same watch? Wow.
Well, to be fair, my old Series 4 was a refurb, so the waterproofing likely wasn’t factory fresh.
