My Apple Watch Ultra is basically just an extension of my phone during work when I can’t keep my phone on me. This is because I work in healthcare and don’t want to pull out my phone when I’m chairside. Outside of work and working out, the two things on my wrist are either my submariner or my bb58. Apple Watch is just a tool for me and can’t replace a traditional watch. I’d wear a Seiko 5 or a Casio over my Apple Watch.

In third world countries, wearing an Apple Watch is equivalent to wearing a Vacheron 222 in USA or UK, so you could say that there are a lot of people that wear it because it is cool.
Yeah I grew up in Mexico, and wearing an apple watch was definitely a sign of being upper middle class. I wouldn't say it was comparable to having a new Vacheron, but it was definitely a flex.
@@shirishpanwalkar I don't think so, I see it more as a replacement for terrible fasion watches. I rather like seeing people in India wearing an apple watch over a Daniel Wellington. Also I don't think we fit into the third world argument.
I honestly thought I'd never own a smart watch, I'm 20 so not because I don't get it but I hated the whole having to charge it thing and lack of durability. But a year ago I found a garmin dive watch which seemed magical, I've always loved the idea of having a dive computer that's also an everyday watch that does all the other things when I'm not using it's super power 😂 and so charging it once a week felt like an easy compromise, I'm glad more smart watches have dive computer capabilities
I think people need both. Different purposes and on days you just want to kick back, an apple watch is an excellent watch and on events or days you dress your sundays best, a mechanical watch (doesnt have to be a rolex) is best to wear. I find the convenience of wearing an apple watch ultra because its wayy lighter than my Sub or my Skyd and its awesome to receive calls and notifs and workout with but there are days that i would like to get away from the social media side and constant notifs and this is where a mechanical watch comes in :D
Finally. Someone admitting that the high tech watches are eating into the luxury mechanical watch industry. Between the Ultra and Garmin style watches I believe the luxury mechanical watch industry is in for a long fight.
The only problem is that the smartwatches rely on computing technology that evolves rapidly every year and while an automatic watch has the same practical value as it had 20 years ago (let's not say 50 because watches got much better at water resistance in the last decades) and apple watch will become completely obsolete and potentially even unusable because of the lack of compatibility with the newer iPhones in a few years.
Finally? Im not gatekeeping but its been talked about for years on online forums. Heres a quick take: You can hand down a nice watch down to your kids to cherish forever. You cant hand down an Apple Watch bc it probably wont be supported after os updates 😅
Im an Apple Watch user since 2015 but if I could choose between the Rolex and the Watch Ultra, I would pick the Rolex. That Rolex might wont measure your heart rate, but the Rolex will work in the next 40 years.
@@BabyJesus66 Yes, you could. But here are some issues with it. -40 years later that Rolex will probably worth more than all those Apple Watches. -Buying 40 Apple watches has a much bigger impact on the environment than only one Rolex. -These watches are for 2 different customers.
@@MrCooper83 @MRZsiir I agree they're two different things. I don't think it made sense to compare them in the first place. Especially considering the price difference. But using your comparison doesn't make sense either since like I said you could probably buy one every 5 years till it's outdated and it would last 40 years and you'd still have close to $10,000 leftover you could invest for those 40 years... that would still be more valuable then the Rolex, and you'd still have 40 years of watches. But I agree they're not comparable. It's apples and oranges. So any argument makes no sense.
Most people who buy Apple Watch ultras are not people who will be diving or going on extreme adventures. It’s people who like tech, much like those who like watches.
Yeah, I don’t want to wear a Chinese-made piece of crap on my wrist. I am a millennial so wearing a Rolex makes me feel special. Anybody can buy an Apple Watch but very few will persevere and save up for a Rolex. It took several years of saving up
1:40 min - I actually saw a picture a few months ago which is absolutely accurate in my opinion: Omega = Mercedes-Benz Rolex = Porsche Audemars = Ferrari Patek = Rolls Royce
Theres more craftsmanship in a Smart Watch apple watch than any Rolex. Change my mind lol? Do you know how small a nano and micron is? Do you think a semi conductor processor with a 1 billion resisters can be made by hand? Million dollar robots make apple watches. Btw, i love my daydate lol.
I have a speed master pro and now an Apple Watch series 8. I held off from buying an Apple Watch because i thought that it would take away from the entire idea of a basic mechanical watch. Do I wear the Apple Watch more now? Yes. But I’ve come to the realisation that it’s okay to. It just means when I put the Speedy on it makes it that much more special. In all honesty having the apple watch has actually reduced the times i pull my phone out to check notifications so its a win in my book
I recently purchased both of these watches ( well , sub date , but you get the idea) . I wear the Ultra for exercise , sleep tracking , travel and as I live in London , when I don’t want to be stabbed 🥲 other wise the Sub still get decent wrist time
That sucks. I live in a place where you could where a patek philippe 5711 tiffany &co and you would not get robbed. Good thing living is a small Village
I can't see me buying a smart watch. I used to have a smartphone which was annoying enough; alerting me to Facebook posts, emails, etc. The idea of having that on my wrist would annoy the hell out of me. The decided to switch to a simple Nokia phone instead. Paired with a watch from my collection I'm a lot happier and at ease.
I view my Ultra as a next generation tool watch. I can check notifications and email in a quick glance in a meeting without appearing rude. It helps me track my vitals and activity. It helps me navigate streets or getting out of the train without constantly looking at a screen. It also is a tool watch in the traditional sense where I can go on adventures in the ocean or trails or bike with it. However, there’s some aspects that I prefer in a traditional analog tool watch. For example, I’d prefer the tachymeter and chrono of my chronograph watches. There’s a delight in tracking my flights on my speedy that I just would not get from an Apple Watch. The finishings and polish of the Ultra doesn’t give the feeling of jewelry that the analog counter parts have. But that’s ok and helps with the everyday feel, where say a Panerai might still feel too gaudy. So to think of it, consider an Apple Watch Ultra as the watch Q made with the neat tricks to save Bond, if he needn’t a suit and might have his phone die.
Apple watch will be obsolete junk in a year or two when the next model arrives. You can't fix it if it breaks and the battery will eventually die. Analog mechanical watch never requires an upgrade and will never go out of style. It won't steal your data and constantly interrupt you.
So, i was selling my apple watch in favour of getting more wrist time out of my mechanical/auto/quartz collection. Then the ultra came along, i had to have it. Cool factor. Titanium. Looks. The first time i went in a pool and it auto switched to depth mode, and i didnt know it was going to do that…..It definitely gives my other watches less on wrist time, its handy, i can have my airpods in and push through my tunes without having to access my phone, all from a touch of my watch while i work out, or walk, or whatever….I can drive and have the watch dictate my route with voice commands and handy haptic feedback to remind me theres a change of direction about to occur, so i can keep humming away to my favourite tune while simultaneously tuning out until that reminder kicks in….and the list goes on. While i bought a couple of bling straps and a subdued one, i also tend to stick to the bright yellow rubber dive strap, to allow other Ultra users to spot another member of the club, a bit like the Jeep wave. And it works. All in all i love the thing. But i do have to remember to take it off, hide it, and put on the speedy when i want to just tell the time and admire a different kind of beauty. And it IS just different.
I’ve had an Apple Watch for years, and I’ve never ever used it for any training or sports other than its timer function. And I’m an ex competitive athlete of several sports… I’ve never used the step counting thing either. I mountaineer and I only tried the route tracking function once. Same with the navigation function. I’m going back to old-school mechanical watches, especially after realizing that the tech companies are evil and criminal. (Oh, and I’m not old either)
I feel you. I like the Ultra and the way it looks on my wrist but I just don’t use it like it’s suppose to be used. I don’t count my steps everyday, I don’t reply to texts on it, etc. it’s just used like a “normal” watch in my use. I do thinks it’s cool that it can do all it does and the titanium is really nice but I know that it’s tech and loses value very fast.
Rolex is a watch that people who are successful and they can afford to buy one, and once owned you can hand it down to your children, its like a prize, the apple watch is a smart watch with a limited shelf life we only need to look at the first apple watch and that edition made of 18-karat yellow gold its now a paper weight lol The ultra is Titanium so what I have several Titanium watches in my current collection and you can find quality pieces for less than a few hundred pounds lol
The whole „Rolex = successful“ thing doesn’t work anymore. I know people who wear a Sub and work for $ 30k a year. It’s all a thing of priorities. Let alone that there are many fakes out there.
Apple watches aren’t cool. But then neither is a Rolex anymore. Both are flaunting gaudiness…in different ways. It’s a function of image…of the image of the typical wearer…rather than the actual watch quality or functionality. Perhaps that’s why today’s 007 wears an Omega. 🤔
As someone who owns two luxury timepieces (Blancpain, Omega) that I love deeply, my Apple Watch Ultra is my everyday grinder. For my lifestyle, working out, job sights and travel, it offers too much in regards to keeping me connected to what’s important in my life, or whatever I’m doing in real time. I’ve found out you can’t put a price on that. Ironically, my luxury timepieces I enjoy the most now when I’m at home truly free from the world’s everyday grind.
Unfortunately Rolex has devalued their brand image to the point where wearing one people assume your a drug dealer, pimp or wearing a fake. I wholesale stopped wearing my sub because Rolex has gained a major image problem. I prefer my planet ocean as it doesnt attract unwanted attention
@@gladlawson61 that's just it though, its turned from a milestone achievement celebration to basically having a fiero at a Ferrari meet. The grey market and supply games are robbing you of the value inherit in the brand.
Since I got an Apple Watch I never looked back to normal watches. The functionality of the Apple Watch is extremely useful to me and whenever I tried to switch back I always missed the features of the Apple Watch
I would wear the Ultra in a heartbeat. It looks awesome but I don't need the features it offers. I would also switch here and there to the good old mechanical diver like my trusty SKX, the funky Unimatic or the awesome Nezumi Voiture.. But again, the Apple Ultra simply appeals to me with its rugged looks more than with the features it offers that are completely unnecessary to a bloke like me that doesn't run, exercise, walk up the mountain, camp or dive.. Can Ultra help me out somehow when I'm walking my dog? Maybe clean after him? 🤣🤣
@@Marcuscaravan actually, some friends told me he is less addict to his phone now because he can go out and stay connected without his phone and all the social media and just having his watch.
I went the other way, no watches since a teenager, then Apple Watch got me back into the habit of wearing a watch. Now the Apple Watch is only used for exercise as I am in love with mechanical watches
1. I just do not need or want to be so connected that I have to have a smart watch. 2. You will never spend any time gazing at and appreciating the look, style, masterful construction and beauty of a smart watch. Rolex Submariner hands down.
It’s not even a comparison. They both r in different category. Rolex = Luxury, Apple Watch = Utility. By that logic jewellery has no utility, still people buy it.
I bought the first Apple Watch as well as edition 4. The first one, I wore more than average. But working in Tech myself, I just longed for old fashioned mechanical watches on my wrist. To balance myself so to speak. I hardly wear my Apple Watch anymore, it sits beside my bed functioning as a wakeup clock. Once awake, it's Grand-Seiko time 🙂
I wear both nowadays. Mechanical in my left. Immediate glance habit. Right hand for my gym, phone, text, music etc. thought it looked odd but a number of people do it nowadays.
I tried wearing a smart watch. I got really annoyed that my wrist kept telling me about emails, texts, heart rate, get up, walk more, now have a minute to breath and I'm like... can't I just go back to having a pretty on my wrist that matches my outfit? YES, I did
I see a lot of people complaining about this kinda thing - and you can actually just at least (in the case of wear OS) disable the notifications and features you don't want and keep theo ones you do. And when you don't want to be bothered, there's a do not disturb function
Sure but why would I need one then? I like the thought of an analog, anachronistic thing on my wrist, that doesn‘t have another screen that i have to look at.
I like the usage of both, and I have both a smart watch for when I'm at work and might need to see things at a glance - and I've also got a wide variety of watches to use when I don't need it. Ultimately you do you
I don't understand, why do guys at Watchfinder have this obsession with Rolex? I'm not talking about how many videos they make about them because I understand that any title with the word rolex gets a lot of clicks but the fact that on many occasions they make comments like "everybody wants a rolex"/"we all want a rolex" or that "rolex daytona is the most iconic chronograph watch of all time" (this one especially made me a little bit angry considering how Speedmaster is much more recognizable, has much more historic importance and generally is by most considered to be THE chronograph watch). I don't get the Rolex hype, all of their watches look so chunky and ugly, especially the ones with the cyclops lens which is a really horrendously looking feature. I like the Milgauss and Cellini because they actually try to look interesting but all other of their watches just look like a fat metal bracelet that an old guy without any taste would wear on his yacht.
The real difference between a Rolex Submariner and an Apple Watch Ultra is that the Rolex will still work and new Rolexes will be sold a 100 years from today.
yeah, and that that a Rolex have on average 2 or 3 complications and are less accurate. You can say Rolex is better because feelings or appreciation to the art/engineering, but the Apple Watch is better. I don't use watches because I think they are better, but because my feelings towards them.
I use a cheaper smart watch to track my sleep, but during the day I honestly prefer a regular watch. I found a smart watch with all its notifications and features just distracted me and ruined my moments of focus. So I think both have their place but I just can’t do a daily wear smart watch.
@@Gigachad-hb7ji not so, the Apple Watch has been around for 10 years now and even the earliest one are still functional. Up until recently I used an Apple Watch Series 3, which is still completely functional and the battery health is still really good. But the Ultra is something completely different in design, technology and practicality. So let’s say you use it solid for 5 years, with all the things it does for your health and wellness that a Rolex doesn’t, for $800 (paid $600 for mine) you can buy it over 20 times in your lifetime before reaching the sum to buy a Rolex, which at this point is nothing more than a status symbol. I am a big watch fan, own over 20 mechanical watches and I love them, but as a practical tool watch, nothing beats the Apple Watch Ultra at this moment. End of story.
@@Gigachad-hb7ji obsolete in what way? All the Rolex does is tell time, maybe even have a few complications like calendar and such. Even after the Apple Watch loses support it will still do everything the Rolex does and do it more accurately. And the only thing you will need to do is a battery replacement every 6 years or so. That being said, if given the option between the 2, I’ll take the Rolex every time. Then sell it for over msrp to some sucker and buy an apple watch in addition to pocketing the extra $12k or so 😂
Rolex all day long, sorry Apple, I have a phone and more annoying products that always give me notifications I dont need. Iam very happy with my Rolex, it gives me joy and history.
The fitness functionality of an Apple Watch is worth it just by itself. Try going out for a run and having to constantly take out your phone to check your pace. It sucks lol. As for notifications, you can just turn them off lol. Everything is customizable
Earlier in 2022 until just this January, I was really thinking hard about buying a smartwatch(not apple) as my everyday wear, but I just couldn't justify buying a 200-300 USD watch that will become obsolete as my old CRT tv next year. So I bought a Seiko instead. Don't get me wrong, I'm a techie person and update flagship phones every 2 years, but it's always been different with watches for me, I never saw the appeal or the utility of a smartwatch, tracking steps, oxygen levels, and alarms doesn't seem much of a selling point for me when I could just use my phone. It would be ridiculous buying a smartwatch just for telling time because that smartwatch will age like vinegar like 5 year old smartphones.
I’m the anomaly. I bought a Tudor Black Bay while everyone in the office wear these Apple Watches. I wear jeans and t shirts to work and the Apple Dumpling gang wear trendy skin tight clothes. I’ll stay in my lane I like my Tudor.
I've had my Ultra for 3 months now. Just like my other Apple watches, it serves the purpose of getting notifications without having to take out my phone while at work. The Ultra is different though. I don't wear it to bed to check my sleeping, I take it off and turn it off around 8 pm. In my case, I'm getting at least 5 days of battery life and sometimes 6. I also find myself doing something that I never did with any other Apple Watch, leaving my phone at home when I go out. The best part of that is I'm not constantly looking at my phone all day. It keeps me present when I'm out to eat with friends or whatever it is that I'm doing. I have a few nice mechanical watches that I love. My nicest watch is an Omega Aqua Terra small seconds that I absolutely love, and have a few others. But, since getting the Ultra, I really don't wear the others anymore. It's become my every day and then some.
I wear a fitbit charge 4 on one wrist, and an omega seamaster 300m on the other. A smartwatch + watch is a bit overkill for me, but so far a fitness tracker + watch works fine. The are days though, when the tracker is charging, that i forget about it and don't wear it for days at a time. But I never forget my omega, and miss wearing it more, even at home when no one else is looking. They serve totally different functions. One, as a wearable computer, to serve until its replaced. The other, a constant, happy reminder of the finer things in life. Fact of the matter is, the smartwatch is not memorable, holds no sentiment, not valued when passed down between generations. Was considering the tag heuer connected as a possible go between, but didn't because it gets obsolete as well. Maybe if luxury watch makers did a 1 for 1 subscription basis for a smartwatch.
I have a breitling seamaster and Fitbit inspire band on my other wrist. I do the same thing with charging but the breitling makes me feel so good all the time and will never need to be replaced, never even have to question that fact.
The Point of the Apple Watch is it's an information und medical device. And it has a unicorn dial. The best part is that you have a second wrist for a real watch. For me it is a automatic mechanical marvel I love. So I wear 2 watches. One tells me the time and the other one pleases my eyes. The Apple Watch is a brilliant piece of technology. But no one will keep an Apple Watch for so many years as a mechanical watch. Who will inherit an Apple Watch? A mechanical watch is passed down many generations. The conclusion is that both have their justification.
The inevitable obsolescence of the technology is what keeps me away from this. I actually really like the Ultra, it's ridiculously over-engineered for what my daily use is. I like what it is built for and something about that appeals to me massively as someone who lives a really sedate life. Same as a Submariner really. I'll never take mine diving or live like James Bond. But it's just cool and I like the way it makes me feel. The mechanical watch however, will make me feel like that for potentially decades. The Apple Watch Ultra will go into a drawer in a few years time, alongside my older Apple Watches when they get damaged or the battery goes flat, or when the software just can't hack it anymore.
I don’t know why compare 800$ watch to 8000$ watch it’s like comparing Rolls Royce to Mercedes. Of course everyone would like Rolex but if you consider price you get a lot of value in Apple Watch.
I’ve got two wrists so I wear one of my automatics on one and an Apple Watch Ultra 2 on the other. I also drive a Tesla 😅 The nicest thing about the Ultra is that it’s got all my credit cards on it, can make phone calls over cellular and I can leave home with just two watches and nothing else if I want.
In the urban jungle, any watch lends cred and is a must. In the office, at the bar, on the bus. Having said that, an Apple watch denotes tech savvy and a guy with a purpose. It's not a bad look. Wearing a Rolex is a bit more tricky. The wearer is trying to be noticed and it could invite trouble if in the wrong neighborhood, but a Rolex could also be a draw for a sophisticated lady. For me personally, too much attention is verboten. I prefer my bronze Hamilton Khaki or my Apple iWatch Model 3 w/cellular.
These Apple smartwatches are not Timepiece it’s a Gadget which cannot be passed on to next generation. As sales specialist I know how people are expecting so many features from Swiss timepiece but there is huge difference between highly skilled watchmakers handcrafted pice of art and machine made gadget!
I want a bracelet like Buzz Aldrin that allows him to wear two watches in one. That way I could wear my Sea Dweller with an Apple Watch simultaneously.
I recently purchased a new Apple Watch. I bought it to replace my cellphone. I wear it at home and slip it into a pocket when wearing a mechanical watch. As a cellphone replacement, it’s hard to beat.
The fisrt time you mentioned Apple watch can last for only 3 days..that's the time I stop watching the video. No need more discussion. Automatic mechanical is the thing for me.
What’s the point of continually comparing watches to a Submariner!!!! When you can’t buy one….. unless you’re willing to pay the price hike from yourselves and others!!!
Comparing an Apple Watch to a Rolex is like comparing a bike to a car. Not saying one is better than the other, just the they might be transport but totally different experiences.
I will stick with my quality Tudor, Tag Heuer, Tissot, Seiko analogue watches anyday,they will out last any of these plastic things,and they don't need continuous charging every day 👍 ⌚
Apple Watch Ultra is titanium, ceramic and sapphire, the battery lasts me 3-4 days and recharges in 45 minutes. I also own nice mechanical watches, best of both worlds.
Have you seen the current trend to wear a smart watch on one wrist and a nice mechanical on the other? You too can be a double watcher, it's not D baggy at all... I will never wear a smart watch, and I'm a tech geek.
I wear both in the same time on different wrists. I used to wear classic watches and than got addicted to the Apple Watch and stoped wear other watches. Now I just wear classic watch on my left wrist and the AppleWatch on the right one but reversed so it is more discret.
Let's be fair. The Apple watch is a training partner that can measure your heart rate, as well as your oxygen levels, map runs for you even without a phone, or call the ambulance for your grandfather after he fainted in the park. While speaking on stage, you don't reach into your back pocket to look at the time on your phone, so having a watch of any kind is still practical. There are so many things that a iphone just can't do that an Apple watch can. You may say the Ultra is overkill. But when you are training and running all the time, you want to see the numbers clearly.
"But when you are training and running all the time, you want to see the numbers clearly". Well, all things a cheap Chinese smartwatch can do as well costing a fraction of this one. Because there's a thing that even the Ultra cannot escape: obsolescence. While a Rolex will be, in good or bad, still a Rolex, the Ultra will pass and be forgotten soon. Or at least, as soon the Hyperultrasupermax will arrive. A Rolex (and every other mechanical watch) will last for decades. Some for centuries.
As someone who likes depth to their dials, the Submariner looks shallow and underwhelming for such a famous watch I wouldn't say no to a free one, but I don't see the appeal really
We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
My Apple Watch Ultra is basically just an extension of my phone during work when I can’t keep my phone on me. This is because I work in healthcare and don’t want to pull out my phone when I’m chairside.
Outside of work and working out, the two things on my wrist are either my submariner or my bb58.
Apple Watch is just a tool for me and can’t replace a traditional watch. I’d wear a Seiko 5 or a Casio over my Apple Watch.
I understand perfectly, the thing I hated the most was having to carry my phone everywhere, a smartwatch can be liberating.
Same, outside of work I wear my Hamilton.
My Apple Watch is like a beater watch now
First, you have to answer yourself a simple question: why would you have to pull out your phone while being chairside?
Same here!
Samsies. I also like getting away from constant notifications.
I’ll take the Rolex every time.
Me too. Just to sell it and buy 3-4 other watches one of which would probably be the Apple Ultra.
Yes me too... Only if I'm going to a party though... Otherwise my Apple watch kinda is too important to not wear daily

Finally. Someone admitting that the high tech watches are eating into the luxury mechanical watch industry. Between the Ultra and Garmin style watches I believe the luxury mechanical watch industry is in for a long fight.
honestly, they were already fighting with phones. Now, it's even worse for them because the Apple Watch is used in a strap on your wrist.
They said: laptops will replace PC. They said: Phone will replace laptops..they all still exist.
The only problem is that the smartwatches rely on computing technology that evolves rapidly every year and while an automatic watch has the same practical value as it had 20 years ago (let's not say 50 because watches got much better at water resistance in the last decades) and apple watch will become completely obsolete and potentially even unusable because of the lack of compatibility with the newer iPhones in a few years.
One only can last max 3 years before going to be obsolete compared to one that has heritage of 50++ years
Finally? Im not gatekeeping but its been talked about for years on online forums. Heres a quick take: You can hand down a nice watch down to your kids to cherish forever. You cant hand down an Apple Watch bc it probably wont be supported after os updates 😅
The Rolex is ancient, much less accurate than the Apple Watch Ultra, and much less functional.
Im an Apple Watch user since 2015 but if I could choose between the Rolex and the Watch Ultra, I would pick the Rolex. That Rolex might wont measure your heart rate, but the Rolex will work in the next 40 years.
But you can probably buy 40 apple watches and wear one per year, that will work for 40 years, for the same money as the Rolex.

@@MrCooper83 environment isn’t really a solid argument
@@MrCooper83 @MRZsiir I agree they're two different things. I don't think it made sense to compare them in the first place. Especially considering the price difference. But using your comparison doesn't make sense either since like I said you could probably buy one every 5 years till it's outdated and it would last 40 years and you'd still have close to $10,000 leftover you could invest for those 40 years... that would still be more valuable then the Rolex, and you'd still have 40 years of watches. But I agree they're not comparable. It's apples and oranges. So any argument makes no sense.
Most people who buy Apple Watch ultras are not people who will be diving or going on extreme adventures. It’s people who like tech, much like those who like watches.
Divers neither buy diver watches. They mostly buy diving computers like Garmin.
Interestingly, the Apple Watch is what got me back into wearing watches. I now only wear it when exercising, otherwise I have on one of my automatics.

Patek = Rolls Royce
Apple Watch = rocket ship
Theres more craftsmanship in a Smart Watch apple watch than any Rolex. Change my mind lol? Do you know how small a nano and micron is? Do you think a semi conductor processor with a 1 billion resisters can be made by hand? Million dollar robots make apple watches. Btw, i love my daydate lol.
Both capable watches but we all know that neither of them will be used as intended by their users
Let us not forget that the Apple Watch is a PERPETUAL CALENDAR that will put Rolex, Patek, and all other swiss brands to shame.
I have a speed master pro and now an Apple Watch series 8. I held off from buying an Apple Watch because i thought that it would take away from the entire idea of a basic mechanical watch. Do I wear the Apple Watch more now? Yes. But I’ve come to the realisation that it’s okay to. It just means when I put the Speedy on it makes it that much more special. In all honesty having the apple watch has actually reduced the times i pull my phone out to check notifications so its a win in my book
5:41 hehehehe you know what you did in the calculator
Good eye
I recently purchased both of these watches ( well , sub date , but you get the idea) . I wear the Ultra for exercise , sleep tracking , travel and as I live in London , when I don’t want to be stabbed 🥲 other wise the Sub still get decent wrist time
That sucks. I live in a place where you could where a patek philippe 5711 tiffany &co and you would not get robbed. Good thing living is a small Village
I can't see me buying a smart watch. I used to have a smartphone which was annoying enough; alerting me to Facebook posts, emails, etc. The idea of having that on my wrist would annoy the hell out of me. The decided to switch to a simple Nokia phone instead. Paired with a watch from my collection I'm a lot happier and at ease.
Rolex Submariner - can go up to 300m in water.
Apple Watch - everything else.

I view my Ultra as a next generation tool watch. I can check notifications and email in a quick glance in a meeting without appearing rude. It helps me track my vitals and activity. It helps me navigate streets or getting out of the train without constantly looking at a screen. It also is a tool watch in the traditional sense where I can go on adventures in the ocean or trails or bike with it. However, there’s some aspects that I prefer in a traditional analog tool watch. For example, I’d prefer the tachymeter and chrono of my chronograph watches. There’s a delight in tracking my flights on my speedy that I just would not get from an Apple Watch. The finishings and polish of the Ultra doesn’t give the feeling of jewelry that the analog counter parts have. But that’s ok and helps with the everyday feel, where say a Panerai might still feel too gaudy. So to think of it, consider an Apple Watch Ultra as the watch Q made with the neat tricks to save Bond, if he needn’t a suit and might have his phone die.
Apple watch will be obsolete junk in a year or two when the next model arrives. You can't fix it if it breaks and the battery will eventually die. Analog mechanical watch never requires an upgrade and will never go out of style. It won't steal your data and constantly interrupt you.
So, i was selling my apple watch in favour of getting more wrist time out of my mechanical/auto/quartz collection. Then the ultra came along, i had to have it. Cool factor. Titanium. Looks. The first time i went in a pool and it auto switched to depth mode, and i didnt know it was going to do that…..It definitely gives my other watches less on wrist time, its handy, i can have my airpods in and push through my tunes without having to access my phone, all from a touch of my watch while i work out, or walk, or whatever….I can drive and have the watch dictate my route with voice commands and handy haptic feedback to remind me theres a change of direction about to occur, so i can keep humming away to my favourite tune while simultaneously tuning out until that reminder kicks in….and the list goes on. While i bought a couple of bling straps and a subdued one, i also tend to stick to the bright yellow rubber dive strap, to allow other Ultra users to spot another member of the club, a bit like the Jeep wave. And it works. All in all i love the thing. But i do have to remember to take it off, hide it, and put on the speedy when i want to just tell the time and admire a different kind of beauty. And it IS just different.

I’ve had an Apple Watch for years, and I’ve never ever used it for any training or sports other than its timer function. And I’m an ex competitive athlete of several sports…
I’ve never used the step counting thing either. I mountaineer and I only tried the route tracking function once. Same with the navigation function.
I’m going back to old-school mechanical watches, especially after realizing that the tech companies are evil and criminal.
(Oh, and I’m not old either)
They are at the center of evil. EXCELLENT post!
I feel you. I like the Ultra and the way it looks on my wrist but I just don’t use it like it’s suppose to be used. I don’t count my steps everyday, I don’t reply to texts on it, etc. it’s just used like a “normal” watch in my use. I do thinks it’s cool that it can do all it does and the titanium is really nice but I know that it’s tech and loses value very fast.
Rolex is a watch that people who are successful and they can afford to buy one, and once owned you can hand it down to your children, its like a prize, the apple watch is a smart watch with a limited shelf life we only need to look at the first apple watch and that edition made of 18-karat yellow gold its now a paper weight lol The ultra is Titanium so what I have several Titanium watches in my current collection and you can find quality pieces for less than a few hundred pounds lol
The whole „Rolex = successful“ thing doesn’t work anymore. I know people who wear a Sub and work for $ 30k a year. It’s all a thing of priorities. Let alone that there are many fakes out there.
@@PorscheCayenneS yes you are correct I should have said "Their Marketing"
You can buy a new Apple Watch Ultra every 3-4 yearsfor $799 or less vs a $15K Rolex. I’d hope the Rolex lasts longer.
Apple watches aren’t cool. But then neither is a Rolex anymore. Both are flaunting gaudiness…in different ways. It’s a function of image…of the image of the typical wearer…rather than the actual watch quality or functionality. Perhaps that’s why today’s 007 wears an Omega. 🤔
As someone who owns two luxury timepieces (Blancpain, Omega) that I love deeply, my Apple Watch Ultra is my everyday grinder. For my lifestyle, working out, job sights and travel, it offers too much in regards to keeping me connected to what’s important in my life, or whatever I’m doing in real time. I’ve found out you can’t put a price on that. Ironically, my luxury timepieces I enjoy the most now when I’m at home truly free from the world’s everyday grind.
The biggest benefit is being able to find my iPhone
Unfortunately Rolex has devalued their brand image to the point where wearing one people assume your a drug dealer, pimp or wearing a fake. I wholesale stopped wearing my sub because Rolex has gained a major image problem. I prefer my planet ocean as it doesnt attract unwanted attention
I'm ok with people thinking I'm wearing a fake. :) who robs you for a fake.
@@gladlawson61 that's just it though, its turned from a milestone achievement celebration to basically having a fiero at a Ferrari meet. The grey market and supply games are robbing you of the value inherit in the brand.
Wait what’s wrong with looking Pimp AF.
I have worn one for years, no-one tends to notice.
Since I got an Apple Watch I never looked back to normal watches.
The functionality of the Apple Watch is extremely useful to me and whenever I tried to switch back I always missed the features of the Apple Watch
I hate using my phone, nevermind having one on my wrist that tells me what to do every two minutes lol
I would wear the Ultra in a heartbeat. It looks awesome but I don't need the features it offers. I would also switch here and there to the good old mechanical diver like my trusty SKX, the funky Unimatic or the awesome Nezumi Voiture.. But again, the Apple Ultra simply appeals to me with its rugged looks more than with the features it offers that are completely unnecessary to a bloke like me that doesn't run, exercise, walk up the mountain, camp or dive.. Can Ultra help me out somehow when I'm walking my dog? Maybe clean after him? 🤣🤣
@@Marcuscaravan actually, some friends told me he is less addict to his phone now because he can go out and stay connected without his phone and all the social media and just having his watch.
I went the other way, no watches since a teenager, then Apple Watch got me back into the habit of wearing a watch. Now the Apple Watch is only used for exercise as I am in love with mechanical watches
1. I just do not need or want to be so connected that I have to have a smart watch.
2. You will never spend any time gazing at and appreciating the look, style, masterful construction and beauty of a smart watch.
Rolex Submariner hands down.

I'm guilty of at times wearing a regular watch on my left and a smart watch on my right.
The best part of this video is reading the comments. Hilarious and horrifying.
They are apples and oranges. Comparing them is ridiculous as they are in completely different catagories.
It’s not even a comparison. They both r in different category. Rolex = Luxury, Apple Watch = Utility. By that logic jewellery has no utility, still people buy it.
I bought the first Apple Watch as well as edition 4. The first one, I wore more than average. But working in Tech myself, I just longed for old fashioned mechanical watches on my wrist. To balance myself so to speak.
I hardly wear my Apple Watch anymore, it sits beside my bed functioning as a wakeup clock. Once awake, it's Grand-Seiko time 🙂

I wear both nowadays. Mechanical in my left. Immediate glance habit. Right hand for my gym, phone, text, music etc. thought it looked odd but a number of people do it nowadays.
By far the wittiest watch reviewer ever. Apple Watch, that second skin, a harassment device that prods you every minute? Genius.
I have both, the ultra only for tracking training and sleeping
I dont do any of that.
I tried wearing a smart watch. I got really annoyed that my wrist kept telling me about emails, texts, heart rate, get up, walk more, now have a minute to breath and I'm like... can't I just go back to having a pretty on my wrist that matches my outfit? YES, I did
I see a lot of people complaining about this kinda thing - and you can actually just at least (in the case of wear OS) disable the notifications and features you don't want and keep theo ones you do. And when you don't want to be bothered, there's a do not disturb function
Sure but why would I need one then? I like the thought of an analog, anachronistic thing on my wrist, that doesn‘t have another screen that i have to look at.
I like the usage of both, and I have both a smart watch for when I'm at work and might need to see things at a glance - and I've also got a wide variety of watches to use when I don't need it. Ultimately you do you
Loved the radiohead references 🙌
I'd take a smartwatch for casual use. A rolex for fancy stuff.
Pretty sure the Rolex won’t ask me to upgrade my iCloud storage. For that it’s worth the price tag

I wear my Rolex on my left wrist and my Apple Watch on my right wrist and it’s happy days
I don't understand, why do guys at Watchfinder have this obsession with Rolex? I'm not talking about how many videos they make about them because I understand that any title with the word rolex gets a lot of clicks but the fact that on many occasions they make comments like "everybody wants a rolex"/"we all want a rolex" or that "rolex daytona is the most iconic chronograph watch of all time" (this one especially made me a little bit angry considering how Speedmaster is much more recognizable, has much more historic importance and generally is by most considered to be THE chronograph watch). I don't get the Rolex hype, all of their watches look so chunky and ugly, especially the ones with the cyclops lens which is a really horrendously looking feature. I like the Milgauss and Cellini because they actually try to look interesting but all other of their watches just look like a fat metal bracelet that an old guy without any taste would wear on his yacht.

I am sorry to brake it to you, but the only thing Rolex represents is old technology fighting for survival through marketing and perception of value
The real difference between a Rolex Submariner and an Apple Watch Ultra is that the Rolex will still work and new Rolexes will be sold a 100 years from today.
yeah, and that that a Rolex have on average 2 or 3 complications and are less accurate. You can say Rolex is better because feelings or appreciation to the art/engineering, but the Apple Watch is better.
I don't use watches because I think they are better, but because my feelings towards them.
Someone must be smoking something when they say Rolex is designed as a functional watch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Rolex still in Dinosaur era 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Smart watches might be convenient but I don't think I'll ever buy one for myself. I don't want to look like I'm part of Spy Kids.
It's easier to fall for the mechanical watch, nothing like it

I use a cheaper smart watch to track my sleep, but during the day I honestly prefer a regular watch. I found a smart watch with all its notifications and features just distracted me and ruined my moments of focus. So I think both have their place but I just can’t do a daily wear smart watch.
I don't need a second iPhone screen, one is enough.
Rolex is a jewelry. The Apple Watch Ultra is a true tool Watch. Kind of ironic…
A tool watch that will become obsolete in 3 years.
@@Gigachad-hb7ji not so, the Apple Watch has been around for 10 years now and even the earliest one are still functional. Up until recently I used an Apple Watch Series 3, which is still completely functional and the battery health is still really good. But the Ultra is something completely different in design, technology and practicality. So let’s say you use it solid for 5 years, with all the things it does for your health and wellness that a Rolex doesn’t, for $800 (paid $600 for mine) you can buy it over 20 times in your lifetime before reaching the sum to buy a Rolex, which at this point is nothing more than a status symbol. I am a big watch fan, own over 20 mechanical watches and I love them, but as a practical tool watch, nothing beats the Apple Watch Ultra at this moment. End of story.
@@AngelSapundzhievOpinion discarded.
@@Gigachad-hb7ji obsolete in what way? All the Rolex does is tell time, maybe even have a few complications like calendar and such. Even after the Apple Watch loses support it will still do everything the Rolex does and do it more accurately. And the only thing you will need to do is a battery replacement every 6 years or so.
That being said, if given the option between the 2, I’ll take the Rolex every time. Then sell it for over msrp to some sucker and buy an apple watch in addition to pocketing the extra $12k or so 😂
Rolex all day long, sorry Apple, I have a phone and more annoying products that always give me notifications I dont need. Iam very happy with my Rolex, it gives me joy and history.
The fitness functionality of an Apple Watch is worth it just by itself. Try going out for a run and having to constantly take out your phone to check your pace. It sucks lol. As for notifications, you can just turn them off lol. Everything is customizable
Apple Watch is an extension of the phone itself.
Most people would be more impressed by an Apple Watch. They don’t recognise Rolexes and think they cost $300-400
Can’t pass down a Apple Watch
Yeah you can technically lol
Can't wait for the next comparison between a pair of running shoes and a Ducati 916. Should be about the same comparison LOL
Just because the submariner has 1% of the functionality of an Apple Watch you shouldn’t equate it to a pair of running shoes. Pffft
@@The_Igloo haha, good point.
Earlier in 2022 until just this January, I was really thinking hard about buying a smartwatch(not apple) as my everyday wear, but I just couldn't justify buying a 200-300 USD watch that will become obsolete as my old CRT tv next year. So I bought a Seiko instead. Don't get me wrong, I'm a techie person and update flagship phones every 2 years, but it's always been different with watches for me, I never saw the appeal or the utility of a smartwatch, tracking steps, oxygen levels, and alarms doesn't seem much of a selling point for me when I could just use my phone. It would be ridiculous buying a smartwatch just for telling time because that smartwatch will age like vinegar like 5 year old smartphones.

Double banding is common in the workplace these days seeing more folks adopting the trend analogue on one side digital pda on the other
I’m the anomaly. I bought a Tudor Black Bay while everyone in the office wear these Apple Watches. I wear jeans and t shirts to work and the Apple
Dumpling gang wear trendy skin tight clothes. I’ll stay in my lane I like my Tudor.
I've had my Ultra for 3 months now. Just like my other Apple watches, it serves the purpose of getting notifications without having to take out my phone while at work. The Ultra is different though. I don't wear it to bed to check my sleeping, I take it off and turn it off around 8 pm. In my case, I'm getting at least 5 days of battery life and sometimes 6. I also find myself doing something that I never did with any other Apple Watch, leaving my phone at home when I go out. The best part of that is I'm not constantly looking at my phone all day. It keeps me present when I'm out to eat with friends or whatever it is that I'm doing. I have a few nice mechanical watches that I love. My nicest watch is an Omega Aqua Terra small seconds that I absolutely love, and have a few others. But, since getting the Ultra, I really don't wear the others anymore. It's become my every day and then some.
I wear a fitbit charge 4 on one wrist, and an omega seamaster 300m on the other.
A smartwatch + watch is a bit overkill for me, but so far a fitness tracker + watch works fine.
The are days though, when the tracker is charging, that i forget about it and don't wear it for days at a time. But I never forget my omega, and miss wearing it more, even at home when no one else is looking.
They serve totally different functions. One, as a wearable computer, to serve until its replaced. The other, a constant, happy reminder of the finer things in life.
Fact of the matter is, the smartwatch is not memorable, holds no sentiment, not valued when passed down between generations.
Was considering the tag heuer connected as a possible go between, but didn't because it gets obsolete as well.
Maybe if luxury watch makers did a 1 for 1 subscription basis for a smartwatch.

I prefer watches that use automatic movements, like seiko or rolex, than watches that charge every day like the Apple Watch. 😂
The Point of the Apple Watch is it's an information und medical device. And it has a unicorn dial. The best part is that you have a second wrist for a real watch. For me it is a automatic mechanical marvel I love. So I wear 2 watches. One tells me the time and the other one pleases my eyes. The Apple Watch is a brilliant piece of technology. But no one will keep an Apple Watch for so many years as a mechanical watch. Who will inherit an Apple Watch? A mechanical watch is passed down many generations. The conclusion is that both have their justification.

What is that camera in corner? Can someone tell me the model?
The inevitable obsolescence of the technology is what keeps me away from this. I actually really like the Ultra, it's ridiculously over-engineered for what my daily use is. I like what it is built for and something about that appeals to me massively as someone who lives a really sedate life. Same as a Submariner really. I'll never take mine diving or live like James Bond. But it's just cool and I like the way it makes me feel. The mechanical watch however, will make me feel like that for potentially decades. The Apple Watch Ultra will go into a drawer in a few years time, alongside my older Apple Watches when they get damaged or the battery goes flat, or when the software just can't hack it anymore.

I agree, I probably wont but another one until silicon based chips reach a point when they can’t get any smaller.
I’ve found that a Rolex comes along with an unsightly gut; maybe the gut comes first then the watch.
I don’t know why compare 800$ watch to 8000$ watch it’s like comparing Rolls Royce to Mercedes. Of course everyone would like Rolex but if you consider price you get a lot of value in Apple Watch.

I would rather have an F91w than an apple watch. I cannot stand these tech watches that constantly bother you.
I’ve got two wrists so I wear one of my automatics on one and an Apple Watch Ultra 2 on the other. I also drive a Tesla 😅
The nicest thing about the Ultra is that it’s got all my credit cards on it, can make phone calls over cellular and I can leave home with just two watches and nothing else if I want.
I have both. And i only wear the apple watch when exercising.
I've never seen the point in buying a smart watch. £800 on something that'll be obsolete in a few years

So effectively Rolex is the Apple Watch of watches
In the urban jungle, any watch lends cred and is a must. In the office, at the bar, on the bus. Having said that, an Apple watch denotes tech savvy and a guy with a purpose. It's not a bad look. Wearing a Rolex is a bit more tricky. The wearer is trying to be noticed and it could invite trouble if in the wrong neighborhood, but a Rolex could also be a draw for a sophisticated lady. For me personally, too much attention is verboten. I prefer my bronze Hamilton Khaki or my Apple iWatch Model 3 w/cellular.
These Apple smartwatches are not Timepiece it’s a Gadget which cannot be passed on to next generation. As sales specialist I know how people are expecting so many features from Swiss timepiece but there is huge difference between highly skilled watchmakers handcrafted pice of art and machine made gadget!
Lol the slow pan of the apps was hilarious
Apple for every day, Rolex for special occasions… best of both worlds 🤗
Casio G-SHOCK GW-5000U... obviously.

Let's be fair. The Apple watch is a training partner that can measure your heart rate, as well as your oxygen levels, map runs for you even without a phone, or call the ambulance for your grandfather after he fainted in the park. While speaking on stage, you don't reach into your back pocket to look at the time on your phone, so having a watch of any kind is still practical. There are so many things that a iphone just can't do that an Apple watch can. You may say the Ultra is overkill. But when you are training and running all the time, you want to see the numbers clearly.
In a real life situation never take a reading from an Apple Watch for heart rate or oxygen level!!!
The Apple Watch will be worthless is 5 years. The Rolex will have value and use forever
It's a Fisher Price play centre for not too bright adults.
"But when you are training and running all the time, you want to see the numbers clearly".
Well, all things a cheap Chinese smartwatch can do as well costing a fraction of this one.
Because there's a thing that even the Ultra cannot escape: obsolescence. While a Rolex will be, in good or bad, still a Rolex, the Ultra will pass and be forgotten soon. Or at least, as soon the Hyperultrasupermax will arrive. A Rolex (and every other mechanical watch) will last for decades. Some for centuries.
@@stupidocanerosaand that’s the benefit of Rolex and other mechanical watches. That doesnt negate the benefit of smart watches.
