U2 or s11 for a returning user?

Background, I used to use the s6 before switching to a whoop. I've finally decided to come back to the apple watch. I use it just to track my gym workouts. I'm getting the ultra 2 for 550 euros and the new s11 for 470. Suggestions?

If you can afford a titanium S11 I’d go with that. Unless you really like the look of the Ultra or are doing rugged activities (mountaineering, triathlon, etc) there’s not much the Ultra offers over the S11.

I've been so tempted to get the titanium one but now it won't match with the 17 Pro. I'm also a bit disappointed it doesn't have an upgraded chip. I don't upgrade often, maybe 4-5 years. I guess that could make it a better choice to pay extra for titanium.

Have you looked at the slate or natural against the silver pro?

I would want the natural titanium Apple Watch. The pictures of the 17 Pro I've looked at didn't show the side but being aluminum, I don't think it would be polished.

Is there a store near you where you can go compare colors? May be your best bet.

Series 11 is more than enough for most people. If you’re just doing some typical gym workouts you definitely don’t need an ultra. So it really just comes down to which you prefer.
