    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.

    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!

  • @theloneviking9145

    I agree with a lot of your comments. The main reason I bought the Apple Watch Ultra upgrading from my series 7 was because of the brighter screen. I use the flashlight app a lot and I liked having the ability to use the action button for the flashlight.

    Give you my experience…had every Apple Watch since the original including the 8 and loved them all…also a few weeks after 8 watched a review on the Ultra and thought about it for a while even visited my local Apple Store and looked at the Ultra and it looked large…finally decided to try it so ordered one from Best Buy because they showed it was in stock and two day shipping and every one else was a month…got it and had mixed feelings in the beginning but the other day put on the 8 and in 10 minutes put Ultra back on. Love the Ultra and going to sell my 8.

    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.

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

      @@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
    @andreasoberg2021 Год назад +8

    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.

I'm past the point of long runs (2 torn ACLs will do that); I don't scuba dive or climb mountains; or do any of the adventure stuff unless you count riding a motorcycle in DFW rush hour traffic. 😆😆😆The Ultra sounds like just the ticket.

    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 :)

      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!

    The Ultra is way smaller than I was expecting. I thought it would be extremely large but it seems pics online tend to distort the actual size. It is smaller than my 40yo Seiko diving watch and the Ultra is featherlight on my wrist. 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. Overall I am very impressed with it and I now wear it every day.

    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.

    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.

Vibrated me and asked am I training and when I pressed yes it brought forward the first 3 mins of my running on the machine too. It saved it. Only I have been on the running machine again and forgot the action button and then it never prompted me.
    RUclips 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?

    I’m upgrading from the Apple Watch 5 to Ultra.
    I will use it for mountain bike riding as well as everyday use. I am interested in the bigger screen, battery life, crash detection, brighter screen for rides in the woods, water and dust resistance, and bigger dial on side.

      The Apple Watch Ultra has cellular, so you can use spotify on its own data connection. The orange button is programmable, you can choose which action you want it to do.

    I love mine the battery life is amazing and I love the bigger screen and better speaker plus you can use it in the ocean or the pool . Plus, I don’t think it’s as bulky as I thought it was going to be. I only take my watch off to charge it

    great review! I was an active diver for 30+ years. I definitely have dived with this watch, more as a backup for my dive computer. I always dived with a dive watch on, even after I started using a dive computer. The Ultra would have become my “every dive watch” if I had it while diving. I would still like to have an Ultra, even though my diving days are behind me.

    great video...i have yet to ever own an Apple watch..very interested in one though but having a hard time choosing which one to get as a first time buyer..the SE 2 , Series 8 or the Ultra...i am a senior and not super techy...i am kinda leaning to the series 8 but still undecided ... your thoughts would be appreciated thx.....cheers from Canada

    • @PatrickRambles
      @PatrickRambles  Год назад +1

      I think the 8 or Ultra would do well for you. I'm not sure how senior you are but the safety features on these watches are actually useful (for anyone, but even more so for seniors). If you have a very slim wrist, I'd check out the 8 but otherwise go for the ultra. Much better battery life.

    Watch Ultra with the same Ocean Band than yours.

  • @stareagle5000
    @stareagle5000 Год назад

    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.
