      I actually do like the look of the Apple Watch ultra and truthfully, I don’t care if it looks ugly because the functionality supersedes any superficial issues. I am an avid scuba diver, and it will be really nice to not have to buy a new dive computer. I already pre-ordered mine with the ocean white band.

      The Apple Watch design is getting tired or it’s tired already…and battery life ain’t improving - many will buy the ultra just for the refreshed look and better battery - That said - Apple Watch series 9 needs to be a redesign and have a better battery (even without low power mode)

The battery life is decent for all the things it does...you can always carry a power bank on those long camping treks, and it will charge it in minutes. Excellent review by the way!

    I like the crash detection idea, but it’s not worth an upgrade from me this year. I was a new Apple Watch owner last year, and got the series 7 with cellular. I think I’ll wait till next year to at least ponder upgrading. In all the stuff I own from Apple, the watch is not one of my top things to “watch” for an upgrade. Who knows, I might upgrade with the series 10 or something 😂

    I was really excited about the series 8 but unknowingly the product that I had seen was the Ultra. I have been getting by with a very basic series 1 and it does what I need mostly. It is getting to the point where I need to charge it at some point during the day; but we've been through a lot. I've given various Apple Watch series as gifts to family members and have found that they get people moving and motivated about fitness. My pop just did a half marathon at 71 and we got him the watch this past father's day. Great review, I think if people give them a chance they will be surprised where their path might lead.

    Hi, great video, thanks! I paid $800 for my original apple watch. And I'm amazed to say that it still has no scratches on it... looks new... but it is slow as hell. Using the apps are a complete waste of time. Has this been improved with the new watches? I sure like the look of that Ultra... I would get it for the size, battery, better speaker definitely, and I would use that custom button also!

    Best looking Apple watch yet, the Ultra. Whoever says it’s ugly needs their eyes tested. It’s a work of art and now incorporates a dive computer. Garmin dive watch in titanium is $1300 and does not do half the things an Apple Watch does. Or incorporate the apple eco system. Adding waypoints as well and back tracking. What’s not to like?I ordered one.

    After looking at the three new watches, I decided the best model for me was the Apple Watch Series 7! There are some great discounts now and I picked up a brand new 41mm GPS+Cellular version for only $399 ($100 less than normal). I was close to choosing the SE, but I think I'll appreciate the additional screen size in a watch that doesn't look ridiculous on my 165mm wrist.

    I really like everything about the ultra except for the size. I ordered one but might end up returning it if it’s comically big on my average size wrist.
    I’m not a fan of the screen behind curved glass on the 8 and previous few models. I find it harder to see the screen with the edge glare under bright lights. I have held off buying a new watch for the past few generations because of this.
    The flat glass screen on the Ultra is the biggest selling point for me.

      Funny, I've just ordered the Series 7, and I'm anticipating I might actually turn the always on display off if it nets me useful battery life. I had a Galaxy Watch previously, and I never had a problem with raising my wrist to look at the time. For those who have had the always on display, did you find it to be an important feature...and why if so? Like I can understand if you're a "statue" street performer who has to sit still for long periods of time, moving only your eyeballs.

    Great video Greg- Upgrading form AW Series 5....Ultra is a beautiful piece of industrial design. Ordered mine with a blue and silver band- looking forward to getting it in 6-7 weeks. Bigger face, battery and durability sold me on the new watch as previous updates were too incremental for me to justify purchasing as you mention in the video.

      With the series 7 yeah. Smaller bezels, LTPO always on display, a few OS features like the keyboard for texting and such. The SE 2 is only an upgrade in terms of chip and that’s it. If you can, get the Apple Card and you can finance your watch 24 months 0% apr and you can pay it off early as you please. Imo it’s only a 130 dollar difference so I would go series 7/8 if you can het series 7 on sale then that’s your answer

    What happened to the rumored blood sugar sensor? That was the feature that would have convinced me to buy. The temperature feature sounds likely a near total waste for most people. The failure to upgrade the processor in a meaningful way means this new lineup is barely cosmetically and superficially different to earlier lineups. Longer batter life is a plus. The ultra seems to add durability, which is positive. My model four does all the things I really need. I will hold out for a lineup that delivers on processor speed and meaningful health features such as the blood sugar detector and a useful temperature sensor. Disappointed describes my reaction best!

    @The.JZA. 2 года назад +5

    I was so excited about the Ultra when it was released and I ordered one straight away. Now that I have had a few days to think about it, I'm kinda second guessing myself and wondering if I should cancel the order (mines still 6 weeks away). I have a series 7 which still works great and has the new compass and low power mode so I dont see much of a reason to get the Ultra. I mean, I still want one but why? The new design is nice, Titanium and Sapphire so it should be durable and the longer battery life is nice but it's still a but underwhelming, like I was hoping for 5 day or a week but 1.5 days or 2.5 days in low power mode is quite frankly crap. We all know it's going to be longer in real life since apple is pretty honerous with their battery life testing but still, it should be a week. And what else do I get for my money? A depth sensor? I dont dive and even if I go once just for fun, it's not worth the money. The added GPS accuracy? It's nice but the Series 7 is already great so not really a must have feature. The extra button? It's handy for sure but is it worth the upgrade cost? The speaker and microphone upgrade? I cant even remember the last time I made a call on my watch and Siri hears me just fine so not a must have feature. My point is, although there are lots of nice little perks, there's nothing that's drastically better enough to warrant the upgrade. I still have my pre-order so I have time to decide but right now I think I should just wait for the Ultra 2.
    A side note: I tested the low power mode on my Series 7 and used about 35% for 24 hours of use so it could just about go 3 days on a charge with my usage. It still does sleep tracking but complately disables heart rate and blood oxygen.
    Another side note: I tested the new compass yesterday when I went for a short hike into a local forest. I'ts kinda dissapointing. You would think that it would be incorporated into the workouts app so if you start a "Hike" activity, it has the compass as one of the screens but it doesnt. It doesnt even automatically start tracking for you in the compass app when you start a hike so you have to start the hike AND start the tracking in the compass so that you can use the "backtrack" feature if you get lost. Also the track that you get on the watch is very choppy and all over the place, nothing like the pretty curvey lines that they show in their promo footage. Also no Topo maps? If I'm hiking, I would like to have Topo maps so I can see where I am. Also you still cant load GPX data onto the watch e.g. if you are going for a long hike to a hutt in the wilderness, you can download the GPS information from various websites and load it into your watch so that you can follow the path i.e. navigate to the hutt or location. This is easy to do on Garmin devices but apple still cant do it. I have looked at 3rd party apps but they all look pretty crap and cost money. Apple could easily implement this fuctionality into their watch if they wanted to actually make it useful for missions into the wilderness. Currently its just a basic tracker with backtrack mode, nothing more.

    Looking forward to getting my Watch Ultra! I think that I will keep my Series 7 though as well and use it more as an everyday watch. Hope my data integrates well together if I do that. I’m an Open Water Swimming and my biggest complaints about the Apple Watch is that the screen is not bright enough for my aging eyes to see the Workout display when I am in the middle of a workout (even though I do have the multifocal contact lenses). Also, the GPS in the regular Watch is not very reliable - it’s spot on with tracking accurate distances when I swim “out” but when I turn around come back, it can’t handle it - a mile out is never a mile back and that drives me insane!

To me, it bridges the AW to a regular high-end watch (I’m a watch collector and I love the look and feel of quality timepieces). The Ultra has that solid look that my Seven doesn’t have. AWs have always been an ugly screen on my wrist that I tolerated periodically for the data and connectivity. Bring on the Ultra!

    I got the beautiful blue Series 7 45 mm last year, and I did a really cool Captain America themed “old style” leather band with it. I wear it everyday, and it’s really an amazing device. I knew that this year, the Series 8 really wouldn’t be that big of an improvement. I got the 7, knowing it was probably the biggest improvement to the Watch since the jump from Series 3 to Series 4. Having said all that, the Ultra has my attention like no other. I agree with you wholeheartedly, the Ultra is the star of the entire presentation that Apple had, AirPods and iPhones included. I love the rugged look, the case design, and that orange band just looks amazing. Lucky for me, my wrists are bigger/wider, so I could certainly sport the thing. The only trouble I’m having is parting ways with this beautiful blue Series 7 that I own currently. It’s only been about a year, and I really can’t complain about it, other than knowing the Ultra would mean a lot less charging. Even then, it’s not like it takes long to charge the Watch. If I end up buying the Ultra, it will totally and absolutely be an impulse LOL
