Thanks Chris - it's really great to have a tech enthusiast's perspective on digital minimalism.... it makes me feel like, "well, if he can do it, so can I!" And your approach speaks to something that speaks louder and louder as I get older: it's not about extremes (all in or all out) but finding the right balance. This video has inspired me to think differently about what that balance might look like. Seeing the books that have been informing your journey makes me even more excited about the productivity course that's coming out... hurry up already with it!! :)
I got rid of social media a year and a half ago… for the first month i caught myself reaching for my phone to open social media..once I got used to it being gone - i stopped. Now that it’s gone, I dont miss it at all. What a time waster to worry about what other people are doing ….
Sitting here right now with a copy of Digital Minimalism that I received in the mail two days ago...while waiting for my new Apple Ultra that I ordered yesterday. And for the exact reasons you've described.
And my name is Chris. Good on you. Subscribed.
Man, you continue to produce incredible, thought-provoking videos and I just have to say I really appreciate you and all you are doing. I'm planning on implementing. a number of your suggestions. Thank you!
It’s not the device, it’s the content you choose to watch. Get rid of social media and reduce news media to a minimum. The best form of entertainment is content that teaches skills and improves your life.
Glad that you sound it out 😌
Consider deleting browser apps and just keep the apps you use; to avoid endless browsing for the sake if loosing time
So your saying we should delete RUclips? RUclips is a social media app so I guess I’m deleting RUclips.
It’s not social media fault, it’s you guys, instead of deleting the apps, search for the right content, you can learn stuff from Social Media
It’s easy to get those apps back on. I deleted them 6 months ago, had to download some for a genuine reason. And here I am 6 months later looking at ditching my smartphone completely coz I’m on it too much. The time saving and education from a phone isn’t worth it if I’m spending 5-6 hours a day on it. I don’t want to have to deal with self control for such a highly addictive thing, I’d rather just not have it at all
What i like about this take is that it's realistic. I don't want to remove my iPhone from my life -- i just want to see if i can be 2-3 hours away from it without feeling like the world is ending. Every other review tries to see if you can COMPLETELY replace your iphone with the watch, which isn't what most of us are trying. For me, i want to greatly reduce my screen time and stay focused on the moment/tasks/project/people i'm with. For example, going for a dinner. Can i leave my phone at home/car? Or going to the gym. Or writing at a coffee shop. Thanks for the video, you've addressed my point very well
Definitely something to think about. I’ve done this on vacation but not during my normal life, but I’ve often wondered if you could pair a watch with an iPad if that might be a better combination, iPads really need more intentionality to use. I also found moving my MFA to security keys helps, I don’t need my phone to unlock things, and getting a not pro, but still good point and shoot camera I can put in my pocket so I don’t feel obliged to carry my phone. I definitely need to think about putting the phone down more though, and this is a good reminder.
Chris, any idea how much energy the watch is using for playing music and podcasts? Is it substantial?
Do I have to enable the cellular feature on the ultra? I know, "why get the ultra then?" I want to be able to use it later. But for now, since I don't want additional monthly fees on my cellular, plan, I want to be able to still use it sync'd to my phone without using cellular. I am guessing I can use it without cellular, just wanted to make sure. Thanks.
I am so happy for this video. Not only did it address my interest of using the AWUltra by itself, I love the way you present and share personal stories. I just discovered your channel and I’m loving everything.
PS I use an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard as my daily driver, don’t even own a laptop anymore, and while it’s great, I want to start my own RUclips channel but not sure how I might manage it with just the iPad Pro.
Any thoughts?
question just got the ultra. have had it for 3 days now. get about 20hrs of battery life. run every morning streaming music. AOD on, sleep with it, do a 30 min walk mid day, 20 minute apple watch fitness work out at night. How are u getting multiple days?
Chris, thank you, I wish there were more content creators who were bold enough to say just this as well. The iPhone is a wonderful thing and I rely on it for many things, my sight included. It is my video magnifier which helps me read or to have things read to me. I simply which there was a way for me to really on the Apple Watch as well so I may ditch the the phone as well. Being visually impaired bigger is always better for me. One day I would love to get the Apple Watch Ultra not simply for my active lifestyle, but possibly being able to use the watch without voiceover and minimizing my use of magnifier.
Do you need a new line just for the Apple Watch? Or can you use the lines you already have?
Man you sold me. This is probably the best most knowledgeable review I’ve seen on this watch and it’s been the stuff you’ve stated what this watch allows you to do more of as in terms of living your life at its best. The books were an added benefit of watching this bc I’ll check them out now .
Love this! aside the screen real estate and battery life - do you think you need the Ultra for this? I’m trying to ditch the phone but simply prefer the lower profile of the standard Apple Watch.
Timely video! I have an older Apple Watch Series 4, but I've begun using it to avoid picking up my phone far more often lately.
I agree with you 100% regarding the way to use the watch and eliminating distractions. Great videos, always give us something to think about, or several things in terms of the benefits of these apps with real life application.
‘I shall be mastered by nothing..’. Try pencil and paper for a month and report back…
I do not need to try, I know I will fail. Yet, going on vacation it does not seem to be an issue.
I’m a security guard at a museum. And we are not allowed to use our phones on the gallery floor. So I rely on my Apple Watch reminders for scheduled post changes and an app called Day One to make a security logs and to make quick iMessages but my battery takes a hit. So I’m seriously considering getting a Apple Watch Ultra
It’s worth it I went to an Ultra from
A series 6 and the Ultra lasts for 2-3 days.
If you have WiFi at the museum try connecting to it from your watch instead of relying on the built-in cellular connection. It saves a ton of battery!
Sorry off the cuff thought but, I like the hair product you use in this clip and I am curious. What do you use? Also what kind of Watch band are you using for ultra watch in this video?
I just got the Ultra today and I’m really contemplating adding cellular to it so I can try and live without my phone on the go.
Very important message. Thanks. I quit all social media each Lent and I always get increased productivity and gratitude for the amazing devices we have in our lives and our connectedness. Rather than updating my iPhone I’m going to give this a try…maybe wait till the Ultra 2 tho……
You've made me want to activate the cellular service on my Ultra and give this a go.
Great Video. Will be giving this a go for sure. By the way what watch band are you wearing with your Ultra ??
Could you help me out on how to add Calzy as a widget like yours on the iPad?
I LOVE this video. I recently got hacked on Facebook and it resulted in my account getting deleted - it kicked me into the same gear you’re in. I removed most of my digital presence and my wife wonders what changed. It makes a world of difference when you don’t have that ball and chain - you have time to FIND or BE yourself.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video Chris. We are on the same page with the digital detox…… love this video and will definitely check out the 4 books! Thanks for making this video ❤
I'm switching to an LTE Apple Watch in a couple weeks for many of the same reasons as you. Looking forward to doing life differently. Not enough videos like this... thank you for sharing!
Great job Sir! I use my iPhone at work to take pictures (my job) and would rather it stayed in another room when I'm home. I'm fixing to buy an Ultra this coming week and have really appreciated your thoughts, tips, and tricks. Thanks again for a great piece.
So I bought 2 watches Ultra cellular 4 days ago and very disappointed I'm getting a call fail if someone call me and both Phone and Watch are close by then i walk away leaving the phone away and talking on the watch after reaching some distance when the phone and watch get disconnected from Bluetooth I'm getting a call fail until the watch start using his data apple and my carrier ATT telling me watch shouldn't be working like that but no one give me a solution I'm returning both watch next week if no one resolve this problem apparently happening to everyone just not all people are aware about this issue any tips or help?
Thanks
Thank you for the watch dock favorites tip! That's fantastic and I had somehow missed it entirely as an option.
So so Good. I just purchased the Ultra 2 and I am figuring out how to use my phone less. This was very helpful!!!! All The Best!
Having no social media on my iPhone is absolutely fantastic. I love this it’s so liberating.
I kind of want to try this. Glad to see some of the people I check in with are trying it too.
I got the Apple Watch Ultra 2 , with digits, supposed to be connecting to my iPhone 14 Plus. Watch coming today, I think I will enjoy it better with just watch and will keep me off social media. Don’t know what digits is, it’s Tmobile. I’m paying by month for the watch and plan, I was hoping to just use watch on gps Bluetooth, but if cellular keeps me off of phone and only costs like 10 dollars extra a month I’m good with that. Thanks for your insight.
very insightful video, i appreciate the deep dive and will definatly have take aways that i will personally implement to be a better version of myself.
How do you use the ultra for phone calls? Do you have the cellular turned on for the watch?
Yep
I watched the Ted Talk about Grit for my Educational Psychology class. Great Video and it's going to help me in my career as an educator.
I just got my Ultra and was thinking about doing this to see how it went. And because of this video, I'm definitely going to give it a try. One question for you. What's the name of that strap you have on your Ultra? Peace
I know a lot of people are going to miss your iPhone 15 and 15 pro videos next year, but it sounds like you’re making a healthy personal choice.
I had an Apple Watch. Now I use a regular watch. My phone is in airplane mode most times. I check it for messages every two or three hours. Life is so much better for ME, those who try to get in touch with me, not so happy. My theory, they’re just electronics, they will never replace the life I waste by being on them.
This is a great video! I’ve always enjoyed your tech videos and this is a great direction you’re going in, look forward to more 👍
Wow this has been one of your best videos lately.
I agree 100%
Great video, you’ve definitely sold me on the practical uses of the cellular plan.
Great video and great thoughts that echo ones I've had for a long time. I regard any tool, whether powered by electricity or not, as having the potential to be a double-edged sword capable of bringing positive or negative benefits. The proper amount of self-discipline, IMHO, will go a long way in ensuring that the tool provides the positive ones.
Thinking about this stuff a lot more since I stopped drinking alcohol. Meaning off life stuff. I just ordered the ultra 2 and am surely gonna try this! Thanks for the video!!
Dude, this is my goal. And if I trust anyone’s opinion on this setup it’s yours. I was very excited to see that you’re finally weighing in here!!
“ When everything is important, nothing is important” 🔥🔥🔥
Im getting the Apple Watch Ultra with trail loop grey/blue next month
I just ordered one like 2 hours before watching this and this video just makes me so much more excited to get my hands on it
What’s that killer Watch Band?
I use Apple Watches se 1 generation and iPhone 13 Pro Max and the beat studios buds
I’m watching this in my phone 😂. But I do take calls on my watch. If I could afford the watch ultra I’d love it.
I love audible. I remember more when I listen to books than when I read them.
I’ve ditched soda for water and black coffee. I don’t need the sugar and cream/ milk. I also ditched fries.
Love your vids Chris! So a year to date-have things changed? Have you been able to make this even better? Would love an update on this as I’m trying to incorporate something similar in my life while keeping my essentials on the AW!
Ok, I am inspired to try this and thank you for the book references.
Great video ! it was a nice reminder to declutter my digital space ;)
Good thoughts. Many that I can practice. Thankis
Best of your videos so far! I would love a watch that doesn't need a phone - I have an Aplle watch Have a great Christmas.
My go to devices. Apple watch ultra and ipAd mini both with cellular. The mini is like a bigger iphone and watch for tracking and quick reply answers. My iphone 14pro just sits at home now.
That Tally app is simple and useful, thx!
Thanks Chris. Good stuff and lots of food for thoughts
This makes complete sense. It feels similar when I stop meditating and then start back again.
I NEED a smartwatch. To get me off the phone. So I can be productive. And live a healthy life.
What a great time to be alive! 😂
As much as I wanted to have something like the apple watch as my only device, I do have a photography business that makes my phone necessary and easier to handle. Signing pdfs, and quick editing photos, and excel spreadsheets on the go is much easier on the phone, and I'm sure it's near impossible to do on a watch.
I stay away from social media, unless I post for my business on Instagram.
Excellent content my brother 💪
That was the best Apple watch ultra review! Thx a lot for that!
Can i uae an apple watch without an iphone? Honestly never knew this i hate the iphones but like the watches
Nice views on this whole topic and somewhat fun that in order to watch you, I have to be on one of the biggest social media there is.
You are the only person saying the TRUTH. The only misfires are the car bt connect, lack of app support from everyapp
This guy recommended so many books I swear I was going to be broke. Fun tip, before you purchase any books to read look for the title of the book on RUclips and end it with audiobook you might find some of them
Pumped on the course!!!!
Great book!
Great video👏🏽
Mate, what is the nice wide black band on your watch? Looks fantastic. And…great video mate.
Does anyone know how long the Ultra can play music to my AirPods before it runs out of charge?
24 hour
@@josebalan379 Thank you. That’s really good.
can you setup iwatch ultra without iphone
Books and WatchTube also are excellent for this lifestyle
You can but it’s more complicated to set up certain things.
I’ve deleted Facebook and twitter off my new iPhone 15. It transferred over from my old phone when I set it up. I’ve left it on the old phone which still works on WiFi but I haven’t used it since.
I like apple watch but i dont like iphone, any suggest?
My NYE resolution for 23 is to delete Instagram/Twitter apps from my iPhone (I have done this in the last few days but I intend to keep them deleted) I have realised it’s time you just never get back. Here’s to a more productive 2023!
LoL I feel guilty of having two phones 14pm pixel 6 as well as having the ultra watch and airpods 🤔💭
It's amazing what happens when we take a step back from the "norm". You can find a lot of peace by doing that. Appreciate this video man.
I’ve been thinking about doing this but I need to buy a Apple Watch first lol
Thanks, man. This message can be vital for people with a real desire to unplug a reasonable amount. Good for you, Chris! Great message!
Dear friends, I'm writing something general about the battery of the cell phones in Apple. I think that the Apples are very good, but they can make a battery for a longer time because if in an Ultra watch they know how to make it last for two or three days, then even in a cell phone that we work with all day, they can make a battery for several days and not only For a few hours, I think it's something that is legitimate to ask for, especially because of our need to work with our phones, take pictures, do work related to writing, and all kinds of other things. It's important that the battery works as long as possible without interruption and without the need for charging. Thank you
How about an updated video? Can you use just an Ultra 2 and iPad for a whole month? No phone
I wish I could have a device that has no social media.
5:40 still cant do watch without having iPhone…too bad.
Life is like a box of chocolates. Thank you. Forrest Gump.
It’s good to know you can replace the top iPhone by the top Apple Watch to shoot excellent photos and videos…
Love it
How do people even have time to get distracted by their phones and social media and notifications and what not all day? Doesn't your job or school keep you on your toes for 10-12 hours every day? I wish I had the luxury or the need to keep an expensive watch on my wrist, the phone in the other room and read self help books from 8 to 8 on most days. Happy that it's an option for you, though!
battery life still sucks on the ultra i still have to charge mine daily
You shouldn’t have to make yourself not use your phone or any other device. These things are tools. They are supposed to be used like tools, not toys.
You can get even better results with just a regular watch…
Nah. Want def want some connection, just controlled
Is this an Apple Watch review or a video about you
When they make a smaller size of the Ultra for a womens smaller wrist, then maybe I would consider this. However, when I tried it on at the shop, the face of the watch extended beyond my wrist. If I am hiking I do not want something that chunky on my wrist. So please use your influence with Apple and tell them that building something by men for men is a bad policy when over 50% of the population is female
I'm a woman, and I have the Ultra. It's my first Apple Watch ever and I absolutely love it. My wrist is average-sized for a woman. maybe even on the small side, and on me the watch looks absolutely gigantic--but that's the look I was going for. The regular 8 was nice, even in the larger 45 mm size (and the smaller one was too small), but in the end, I wanted the extra fraction of screen real estate of the Ultra, and I couldn't be happier! Go big or go home, right?
i have the ultra and for me it looks small now
WOW men hater/manipulator 🤔💭
Try on the Garmin Fenix 7X. Then try on the Ultra. The Ultra will look a lot smaller than before. 👍
@@dree2295 I have a small wrist, I mean I was measured by a jeweler at 6.25. A 12 year old girl has a wrist about my size. so I find that I should like something gigantic on my wrist may work for you, but you should not force your opinion onto others. So I will not go big or go home
Dude uses "digital minimalism" to justify buying additional multi-hundred dollar devices. Okay
nice
