“ I was going to get the classic until I saw the classic and the blue ultra side by side and got the blue ultra. The blue ultra looks amazing in person, pictures don’t do it any justice at all. Classic has a smaller screen, smaller battery and speakers, also didn’t like the thin straps and having a large stainless steel bottle cap on my wrist. ”
