I got the ultra a month after its release, and have loved it since it arrived. But it REALLY won me over when I had a motorcycle accident. It automatically called the police and ambulance services to my location. It also informed my partner that I was in an accident, where the accident happened, and sent her periodic updates as to my location while I was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. The most amazing thing is that it didn't even get the slightest scratch, and still looks brand new. Bloody love this watch. I do not regret this purchase in the slightest.

Luckily I was wearing some of the necessary proper gear, so I only busted the bajesus out of my finger (which I had surgery on it today to fix it properly), and the expected bumps, bruises, and abrasions.

I've had mine since the beginning of November. I've recently had an accident which ended up with me hitting the floor at a high speed. The watch took a big hit but it survived and also called emergency services. By the extent of the damages and where they were, if it would have been any other Apple watch model, it would have been a goner. Now it has a story to tell with a few scratches. Definitely battle hardened.

If you use the “find my iPhone” button in the watch’s utility menu, tapping it once will play the sound on your watch, however a lot of people does not know that if you hold the button down, it will play the sound as well as making your flash blink on the phone, which is super convenient!

I bought the Ultra as soon as it became available. I too was concerned with the size and price, not because if I could afford it, but more if it was worth the extra expenditure over the Apple Watch 8. I have this now for almost three months as well, and it is truly the best watch I have ever had, and well worth the purchase. It is large, but it is extremely comfortable and does not appear large on my small wrists. I love the Ultra!

Thanks for the honest review, I am a Crossfitter and even ran an ultra marathon so a Garmin is probably better suited for me as an athlete, but I still love my AW ultra because it tracks those things well enough, but also meets my needs for a smartwatch way better than any Garmin could. Battery life was the key to make this a viable solution to track my longer trail runs and track sleeping. I love it because the third party app I'm using for workouts (Workoutdoors) has now taken advantage of the action button.

I am looking to upgrade to either the 8 or the Ultra. The Ultra looks pretty huge.

Have you had any issues with the Ultra during Crossfit workouts? Thanks

@fitdude Жыл бұрын

@@mattzahn117 I have issues with Apple making it so the watch display goes to sleep instead of being always on, that is when using 3rd party apps. Physically getting in the way I have an issue when wearing wrist wraps...but to take care of it accidentally pressing the crown or other button, I have the watch configured so I wear it "upside down" so the crown is facing up my arm instead of toward my wrist and that has fixed that issue. I used to accidentally trigger the emergency call when doing crossfit, but that has gone away with the new configuration. You just have to go into settings to flip the screen orientation. I don't really hit it on anything except when doing kettlebell snatches. I wear it high enough on my wrist all the time (up past my wrist bone) so it doesn't get in the way when flexing my wrist.

The SUV analogy works well. The AW Ultra still isn’t at the fitness level. The Action Button is an *improvement* because I have tried using my Series 2 and Series 5 as running watches but they don’t work. Sweat makes the touch screen hard to use, the native fitness app sucks, and doing things while your running is just inconvenient with a touch screen. One more button on the Ultra 2 would be an improvement.

@andreasoberg2021 Жыл бұрын

I completely agree with you that this watch can be great for "normal" people in normal situations, the SUV comparison was great. I have done some extreme things like advanced skiing and I have done quite a bit of diving, but I would mostly use this watch as an office watch. For diving I would use this as a backup watch but I would not us it as my primary diving computer. It just has so much complexity in it so I would not trust it for such important tasks, plus the diving computer I have has more features like it can give me the air supply of myself and my team. The things I like with the watch is 1. more battery. 2 better screen. 3 can snorkel/dive with it 4. looks better. Downsides 1. bulkier.

That's a really good review. I own latest Garmin Fenix 7 model and would surely NOT swap it to the AWU even for free but AWU has some really nice features in deed. Still way behind Garmin for health tracking features(talking about a global picture of your wealthbeing) but hey, AW is a mini iphone on your wrist, Garmin is a health tracker and sports tool (even if you're just a regular gym visitor like I am). AW won't make you want to go to the gym, Garmin will :) and not only gym but even a casual walk in the park, as every such activity would show the impact on your training readiness, recovery score, daily body battery and stress :) Anyways, Garmin and AW are a different worlds, IMO you need to try both to understand which one is for you. I picked health over the phone on my wrist. Peace :)

@Jarek. Жыл бұрын

Both Garmin and AW(U) are _Smart Watches_ but each of them emphasises different area. Apple is more *Smart* whereas Garmin focuses on Fitness metrics. I'm on Garmin (now Vivoactive 4) but every year I'm asking myself "is it the time to swap to AW?". And still, the answer is "not yet". I'm sure, I'd love _Smart_ features of AW but I would be missing fitness features from Garmin. But the dealbreaker is AW battery life... So maybe next year 🤣 Cheers!

I came from a Garmin and got myself the Ultra for Xmas. It was the second time I’ve tried Apple Watch. Gave it a week as I really wanted to like it but sent it back and went back to Garmin. I didn’t like the ‘prissy’ interface, found the complications a pain and the battery life… well, laughable. I charge my Garmin less than once a month and find it does most of the things the Apple Watch did and none of the unnecessary. The fitness interface, maps and Garmin App (which syncs to Apple health, Strava and Nike Running) to be far superior. In the end, I didn’t like how I felt wearing the Apple Watch and it became another thing to ‘look after’ as well as my phone. Sorry Apple, I tried.

Nice man! Glad you went back to garmin. I can agree. I was tempted at one point but decided not to and glad i didnt. Ultra another thing to look at.

I've had my Ultra watch since November and it is *perfect* for me because of the battery life, usage since it lasts 4.5 days (you have to adjust some things you rarely use and remove it completely). With the Ultra, I rarely have to check my phone since it can do anything (silently and useful for students, just don't make it too obvious😂). Make sure your wrist is actually bigger for this watch to hold nicely or it's going to be too loose no matter how tightly you wrap it.

With regards to the Alpine loop I am using the medium version and when I take it off or put it on I place my thumb over that part of the display where the hook could swing up and hit the watch.

Only I have been on the running machine again and forgot the action button and then it never prompted me. KZfaq videos are crap. So small no purpose. The phone is just for convenience but as soon as I answer I am saying I will call them back. Open car with it? Sleep tracker. I got same thick strap and it does go tight. I had the largest size.

Well done video. Appreciated your perspective. I am on the fence about getting one. I think my use cases would be very similar to yours and therefore I think I would love this thing. Think I'm going to pull the trigger... Thanks again! Big help!

I got one recently by far the best Apple Watch ever made and it’s durable as hell. I’ve seen durability tests where the screen doesn’t break easily. 10/10 don’t regret buying

Coming from Garmin which I still love, the ultra is awesome and if they went bigger I’d probably buy it again lol. Love the channel. Ever think of doing a fitness or workout type video? You could even do tech for fitness type video or videos. Just an idea to throw into the mix

Hi Patrick, my two favorite Apple products this year were the Apple Watch Ultra and the new AirPods Pro. I love the battery life and the larger screen makes it easier to type with my disability.

I may have to agree with you on both.

Very good review. I am a runner for the last 45 years; having run all distances up through the Marathon. That is my main use. I have an Apple Watch 6, but I would like to use the sleep tracker and some other features you mentioned. But my battery life won’t allow that conveniently. So, I definitely like the 2+ day battery. I also like the 2000 nits brightness. Thanks for the tip on the fast charger.

I have AW6 and track my sleep every night. I just change it up every evening at 9pm. No problem with running out of juice but yeah it needs to be changed everyday 😄

I got one for Christmas and I like the battery life and the larger screen. But yeah I wish they made the steel Apple Watch with the better battery life and bigger screen as I really love the look of the steel but it’s too small and I really like the longer battery on the ultra.

Bro, i enjoyed your Gym workout clips❤😀 more than the apple watch 😃. You have a nice fit body 👌 And as always great informative video 👌 🙏. I am waiting for the 2nd version of new apple ultra release to purchase. Honestly loved this ultra watch & bigger screen 👌. Till that will be using my apple watch series 6 😀

I just sold my AW8 and got the Ultra. The design and battery life sold it for me. It seems to charge much faster than older watches too.

I bought an garmin instinct solar 2x and returned in the same day. The AWU, even with the low battery, is just so much better for what I do. I like bicycle touring so I always have a power brick, so keeping it charged is no problem. It syncs directly with my bosch ebike motor, and the navigation is nice since the watch vibrates for a turn, and notifies me in my air pods. New OS 10 lets me put 8 apps on the main screen. I really like this watch.

Great overview Patrick. I’ve not bought the ultra yet, still can’t bring myself to spend that amount of money when I have a perfectly good Apple Watch 8. Plus I think the wife would kill me 😂😂😂 Happy New Year and catch you on the next one.

@darylcheshire1618 Жыл бұрын

I’ve had mine for a week and I love it. It replaced an aluminium watch 7 (no SIM). The old watch got some scratches on the glass and I know from a Seiko that I have that sapphire glass is scratch proof. I like how the glass is flush. I’m 65 and ride the bike every day so the fall protection is good. I love how the battery lasts longer and charges quickly.

Have loved the Ultra and owned many past Apple Watches - but my watch froze on my run last night for a 1/2 mile and then started back up again on its own. Going back to my Garmin for running.

Thank you for teaching me today that I can use my apple watch as a torch. Have had an older model for 2.5 years and had no idea 😂 But besides that I use my non-ultra Apple watch for all the same things that you listed! I guess the ultra is bigger and fancier.

I'm a huge believer in "Check before you buy", and am lucky to live within 15 minutes of an Apple Store so, when I was looking to get my first Apple Watch last year, I went in and tried all the models, sizes and colours. I'd originally been drawn to a darker colour, but wasn't sure of size. I ended up getting a Nike Series 7 41 in Starlight - didn't need the 8's extra features, but wanted more than what the SE2 had to offer (the Ultra was just too big/expensive). Have to say, I absolutely love it. Thanks for the vid!
