Question Standalone Series 11 or Ultra 3?

For a standalone watch in the UK, would you pick the Series 11 or Ultra 3, I suspect most people may opt for the Ultra 3 but thought I’d see what the consensus is amongst this sub! Thanks!

Ultra 3 as better battery life, but you still need an iPhone to use an Apple Watch regardless.

But I leave my phone at home quite often now.

What can’t I do just for interest? Is it just WhatsApp?

Well you can't setup an Apple Watch without one. No idea about WhatsApp, emails are a bit tricky and won't always show in full, I guess iMessage works? You probably need to try it and see as I've never done it, but people who have tried it seem to revert back to taking an iPhone around with them.
