Your dad being absolutely dad-like “It’s fine…” even after several attempts to get him to elaborate “Well… It’s fine…”
The most dad of dad traits 😂
Where do I get the apple watch ultra I have the apple watch 6
I love this so much! I enjoyed seeing your day sm 🥰also yay for Cica im glad you like it!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️ it was def hard condensing it down to this final product 😂
Wow, loved it man..also never thought that these many things can be done on watch alone ❤️
I’m glad you enjoyed! It’s crazy how powerful these watches are getting!
Amazing video man. Love these day in the life tech videos and using products! You can definitely count me as a new subscriber! Keep up the great content 👌🏻
Thank you for the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed ☺️ welcome to the channel!
I’ve had my Apple Watch Ultra for 3 weeks now and I am so happy that I’ve upgraded. Came from the Series 6 and the battery life and screen size, alone, is everything I’ve needed!
You and me both! I also upgraded from the 6!
I am impressed by the voice to text and how easy it is to see the text.
That bright screen is so so helpful
Dumb question, but how do you replace the phone? Do you change the eSIM with the provider? Thanks.
¡Me encantó el vídeo!
Sobre todo la llamada con tu padre. Que futurista. 😹🙌🏽
I’m so glad you enjoyed! I also love the phone calls with dad. It’s so cool that the watch can do that!
Love this video and the basketball sequence is rlly dope
Thanks Man! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Good video I love my Ultra I just got it thanks for putting this out I learned so much.
just got one. I wondering if the reduced heart rate measurement setting helps
Super nice video and beautiful videography!
Excellent video
You deserve way more subscribers than you actually have.
I’m not an ultra guy by any means but I love with watch
Thank you so much! You are far too kind. Your comment just made my day ❤️ I’m so glad you enjoyed!
@@MarcTaraz omg you responded back, you also made my day 💯
When i sleep i put my Watch in airplane mode. Seems to still track my sleep just fine and also seems to conserve battery. Thoughts?
Hello , I know I am very late to your channel but just want to know how much battery does apple pay takes on the watch .
Such an amazing video! Thanks for the info! So happy I subscribed to you :)
🥹🥹🥹 thank you for being such a positive person. I'm glad you subscribed too ❤️ welcome to the channel ❤️
What I noticed on my iPhone 14 pro max is the battery from 100 drops quick but last a whole long time 60 and below like I have to struggle to make the battery die. Normally then after a full 24 hrs have around 23 %
Very intriguing for me. I'm not an exercise junky but I like the idea of ditching my phone for the day and only taking my laptop & watch to the office. As long as the watch can handle a few hours of podcasts & music (with air-pods), and up to two hours of navigation via maps (+ maybe a call and a few messages) then it would suit me just fine. I'm not a big user otherwise as I do 90% of my communication through the laptop.
Being able to just pop out and about without ever holding or managing a phone seems like a dream to me. I hate how much my phone distracts me. Is it worth upgrading to the Ultra just for that extra reliability? Wondering if the SE would handle being my main device all day....
The main difference you’ll see on the ultra is battery life, the nicer screen, and the keyboard. The SE sadly doesn’t have the keyboard, which I find really handy for responding to texts. Everything you said you want sounds doable on either, but I don’t know about hours of lte maps navigation since I haven’t tested it, but seeing as this is the outdoor adventure watch, I’m fairly confident it could handle that.
@@MarcTaraz oh the map thing would be just to figure out the transport network - I wouldnt need to look at the screen very much. Usually 3 or 4 trips a day max, each about 20mins. Thanks for the reply.
Tell what you wirst size in mm?want to compare with my 16.5
Very high quality video!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed!
So many years of my life I had no cell phone, but now we need one? I think you're right that certain systems today don't allow a person to not have one, like QR codes and most 2-factor authentication. However, it still feels unfair to me to 'force' people to carry a cell phone. Ok, I might be old fashioned, but cell phones should always be a personal choice IMO - and not a requirement. FYI: I use my Apple Ultra Watch all the time and I WISH it could completely replace my phone. The three missing things for me are the ability to respond to my job's 2-factor authentication from the watch, the ability to call an Uber car (they deprecated their app), and the ability to pair it with my Libre 3 glucose monitor (notifications will bug me to death if my phone isn't near by). Thank you so much for doing this video, and bravo for how healthy your life is! 😀
Love your opinion. I don’t like feeling forced into having my phone on me all the time. But I need to be reachable for my family. I’m close to getting an ultra for this purpose. Make sure my phone is charged at home. Shouldn’t be an issue. I have a 15PM, standby time is great.
Fortunately for me my companies two factor authentication has an Apple Watch app. Mine is arriving today.
I see it works with HK's Octopus card. What about native apps for Uber, Grab or other rideshare?
Another great video, this kinds of 24 hours with an apple watch only, keep up the good work👌
Also I got an apple watch se 2 weeks ago, and it's great, without not too much heavy usage it gets me through 1-2 days without charging, screen size is ok (40mm) and the calls are fine
overall good apple watch se 2!
You got yourself a new subscriber 🙌 coz of your coolness with your dad and vice versa 👌 just love the father and son vibe 🫶 plus also coming from series 7 just love the combo of my ultra and airpods max 👍
Welcome to the channel! And Aw thank you so much! You’re too kind. And that’s def a killer combo!
We all realize that just using your phone for certain things are much quicker. I think the real allure here is that it’s attached to your wrist. You don’t have to pick it up or put it in your pocket. It’s small and lasts a really long time! That’s what has me contemplating using it to replace my phone on my 3 day weekends. I work 4 days a week. For work I do need my phone for the work app I use.
Do you have cellular activated on your watch?
Hong Kong ?! I thought you were in Seattle lol. my watch arrives Tuesday and it is going to replace my phone .
Talk to text, fall protection (I'm disabled a bit) i-pay, music. can track my heart and my blood sugar and give me updates every five minutes if I want, GPS, I can take calls hands-free with earbuds, weather app...I'm good.
just my keys, a ridge wallet with an I.D. insurance card, and one MasterCard for backup. My CCW weapon and extra mag and I am all set. Lite, trim, no cash, and not bulky ...can't wait. Great video pal, just found you !!.
I got my watch ultra on Wednesday. I charged it full up Thursday night. Being connected to my phone. It has lasted 60 hours and in at 26%. And that’s not on power saving mode and that’s doing sleep tracking every night and one 20 minute workout. The battery is a beast. My Apple Watch 3 when it was new lasted two full days and I thought that was impressive.
Battery is def a beast on this thing. Absolutely game changing.
Please don’t hey siri in the video! You just called my dad 😂
Hi Marc, just wanna say that your review for the day for Apple ultra watch was fun to watch. Also appreciates that you blurred the people in the background for privacy. How do you achieve that & what camera settings do you use? Great to see Hong Kong from your view 🙏 Keep up the great work 🤗
Hello! I’m so glad you enjoyed! You can achieve that with a wide aperture lens! I used the Sony a7siii and a 20mm 1.8 G lens for this vlog, shot mostly between f1.8 and 2.5 to give that nice shallow depth of field and bokeh (background blur)
I hope that helps!
What camera did you film the walking shots on? Looks nice and good stabilization. Also ngl I thought the hair looked better pre-cut lol
The vlog shots were all on the a7SIII with the 20mm 1.8 G lens!
Absolutely brilliant video. New subscriber gained
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel ☺️
This one I want!!!
It’s a great one!
Great video! Maybe make a watch face of your QR code to sidestep that problem lol
I have the QR code on my watch, but we have to scan using cameras to get into the building to match our own pass with the buildings code. No way around that, the watch doesn’t have a camera on it yet 😂
Thats because of the Communist Chinese Government Controls ....be aware its happening...@@MarcTaraz
Just realised you’re in Hong Kong half way into the video lol. Nice vid helpful, just bought the ultra ii
I’m glad you enjoyed! I hope you like your new Ultra II!
Hey man did this have cellular on the entire time? Love the video - subbed!
Hello sire!Respect for video and much health!😊😊
I noticed you didn't use your airpods when you were talking on the phone. Any reason?
Wanted to show how the Apple Watch is capable in its own right as a talking device.
Awesome video
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed!
from the chemical infested basketball court, to the Casual Jog by the industrial factory lol
I picked up the Apple Watch Ultra 2 since with my job I can’t physically have my phone on me while out in the field so having my apple watch helps out with receiving any calls or messages that I can answer while in the field and smartwatches are allowed to be physically on me
Yea what I noticed with a lot of these “watch without the iPhone” is that it kills the battery
Yup. Big time.
Why dont you tell everyone that most usefull apps do not work on the Ultra ? 😅😊😊
Oh wow, I didn't know you're based in Hong Kong. I was in Hong Kong from August and September. I got my Apple Watch Ultra over a week ago.
It’s a great device! I hope you’re enjoying it!
Just got mine today - My very first Apple watch (Ultra).
It’s an amazing watch and piece of tech and jewelry 🔥 you’re gonna love it
Sorry bro did you just use your hands to eat sushi 😂a pocket chopsticks would be nice btw nice video enjoying it . I too have the ultra and loving it
Do I need an iPhone to update the watch? I'm thinking of getting an Apple Watch because it apparenty has top notch heart rate tracking, but I do not have an iPhone
You don’t NEED one, it does have the option to upgrade just on the watch. But having it paired to an iPhone would make life a lot easier for a lot of different tasks and reasons
@@MarcTaraz thanks my dude. Can I see ECG results and other health related stuff on the watch?
You can see some results, especially right after running the ECG and heart rate apps. But if you want more detailed information, as well as history, you’ll need the iPhone health app for that. The watch only shows so much
@@MarcTaraz thanks sir. Will probably get one.
More power to you and your channel!
Thank YOU!
Can you pair Air Pod Pros and use them as a phone?
Yes you can!
@@MarcTaraz Thanks! My Ultra arrives tomorrow. I can’t wait to check it out.
What is the size of your wrist ?
Hi, did you have your phone in your pocket?
Is it Hong Kong ?
NOTHING BUT NET BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahaah I’m totally that good, didn’t edit anything out at allllllll
Quintessential ☺️
❤️❤️❤️
Honestly thought I was watching a video on a channel with 1mil + subs. High quality videos 🤙🤙
Thank you for the kind words, you just made my day ❤️
My son doesn't have a phone, but I got him a cell-enabled Apple Watch SE a few weeks ago as his first device. It's been working surprisingly well, but it also has some very real limitation. The biggest one so far is that Spotify requires a phone to work, and Apple Music isn't great on it either. Also, his mom and I can't both be parents to his Apple account, since our Apple accounts aren't part of the same family. (That would be a problem with an iPhone as well, not just the watch.) Overall, the watch seems to be an ok replacement for the phone, and provides some great limits since it can't do social media and doesn't have a camera. But for most adults, it seems like the watch isn't nearly fully featured enough to be a phone replacement. However, I'm still a bit jealous of your watch. If the scuba computer app had been available two weeks ago, I probably would have gotten one for my trip last week. Instead I got a dedicated scuba watch.
The watch SE is such a good deal, cannot argue with the price to performance ratio. And that’s so cool that you went scuba diving! I hope you had a great time
Can we code with it?
If someone runs 1.8km at a 4,40mph pace and is all worn out, its time to get that cardio routine going. Great video btw I really enjoyed it,
I mean it’s not my competitive cross country pace, but a 47 min 10k pace is not too bad at all…. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Your dad sounded like he had to interact with his least favorite child.
😂😂😂
He sounds like Niel DeGrasse Tyson
Wow! How hard was it to edit so that you never missed a shot
I thought for a second you were talking about the vlog, the raw uncut version was over 2 hours. But then I realized you were talking about the basketball sequence. Ahahah. It wasn’t too hard ☺️
I think it's much easier to pick up your phone and type your message. Time saved 🤣
Oh 100%
does he live in Singapore?
What about whatsapp? How can we solve this problem on LTE version when we want to use like you?
Sadly until WhatsApp decides to have Apple Watch support; there’s nothing we can do
How far did you go with out your phone?
Did it work?
Using an all white/color background watch face probably uses an additional 10% battery in a day, pixels that are off use no power with an OLED display…
I hadn’t thought about that! I usually use the big time with just numbers Watch face, which has a black background. I was using the red one mostly in this video to show the battery indicator!
Did you downloaded the music on your Apple Watch?
Yes! All of it was locally downloaded onto the watch itself
You can’t use it for RUclips?
Sadly no. And no Twitter or Instagram or most other apps either
Great video! I had mine tell me it needed to be charged to get through sleep tracking too and it still made it just fine, burned at most 15% overnight for me
The average seems to be 12-20ish percent depending on the person. Very interesting to see! This battery is a beast
wait are you in Hong Kong?
Thought this was a joke. He evacuated the toxic basketball court for a run around a massive power station. That is definitely not so obviously cardiogenic and poisonous for the human body. 🤣
goes from1:37 carcinogenic spray and bball sesh canceled to 2:05 running along a trail near some sort of industrial/ power plant.
Cellular drains a lot of battery, what I notice
So you’re saying you finally have a data plan in HK now? 👀
👀👀👀👀
I WAS USED FOR YOUR WATCH TYPING TESTED. And I didn’t even know. USED. Bob the Builder was used.
It worked pretty well tho
The Apple Watch Ultra is definitely a cool watch. I do recommend to some people. Its built like a tank and works extremely well. However, I highly suggest you try it on first and wear it for a couple of days to see if you like it or not. Personally, I had to return mine. I notice the biggest problem for me was its size. It was so massive on my wrist (I have 16cm wrists). It looked awesome but it became more of a distraction (even with the screen turned off). I couldn't help but constantly stare at it every time I twisted my wrist. Luckily I had a 7 day money back guarantee. So I got my money back. I hope this helps.
In the end. I ordered an Apple Watch Series 8 (Starlight Variant) 41 mm with a Nike white/platuim band instead. I also combined it with iPad mini 6 to replace my iPhone. The mobility of the Apple swatch series 8 41mm with the productivity of the iPad mini 6 is an incredible combo imo. I also found a way for the battery to last between 16-20hours (5:30am-9pm) at night on single charge. I think I might make a video to show people how it can be done. Awesome video btw.
Please do I am definitely interested to see what you have come up with
It’s def a big watch that’s not for everyone! I’m glad you found something that suits your needs and preferences!
@@deejayvr Yea I’ve uploaded a video showing people my current setup. I hope this helps.
@@MarcTaraz Yea 100% agree.
no work no responsibilities .. lol
Don’t understand why Apple Watch needs a pause button for runs. Isn’t there auto pause like most other sport watches?
There is, but as a runner, it’s nice having the option to manually do it instead of waiting for the Watch to realize you haven’t been moving, and this affecting your time/speed
@@MarcTaraz I guess on my polar watch the app will automatically account for this and get your pace based on only moving time. Workouts uploaded on Strava also does this. As a cyclist as well the idea of manually pausing would be a nightmare. Thanks for the video.
Yea the auto stop is pretty good from what I’ve seen, but it just nice having options that don’t involve me swiping thru the touchscreen. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching ☺️
Not being able to support carplay is a deal breaker for me. I really want to ditch my iphone badly for just a watch and macbook for bigger things. I hope apple will think about this use case.
My series 8 only loses 10% battery overnight with sleep tracking. Surprised to hear that the ultra loses 18%
I think we all just have different sleep patterns and what not, from comments and friends I’ve been seeing anywhere between 10 and 20%
If it’s at 82% how did you lose 82% while sleeping? #mistake
I neee friends I can do Apple Watch challenges with. Any takers?
1- why are you back of battery so much when u can charge it in 15 minutes.
You could of saved more battery if you used a less coloured watch face
What country do you live in?
I ordered mine yesterday, coming today. Never had an Apple Watch before.
You’re gonna love it!
Wear your AirPods for privacy calls. A win for something the product is supposed to do isn’t really a win lol
Thats alot to use up overnight on sleep. I only lose about 5% tops
Just a request for the future, try not to say "Hey Siri" during the video. Siri just attempted to call my dad at 10:17 PM :/
Thank you for the vid, though. Cellular uses way too much battery, and there is not currently a good way to fix that. I suppose you could either carry your phone in the backpack (but then why not just use it?) or charge the watch throughout the day.
I used to do this at my job, but the watch would connect to wifi, so the battery barely drained more than normal over the course of the day. It was super freeing to not have a phone though. Fewer distractions, and I still got all of the necessary notifications.
Perhaps, if you planned on taking the same route everyday, you could make sure the watch connects to wifi throughout the city. I dunno. No good solutions at the moment lol. I also have the Ultra, and it gets me through 2+ days of normal wear. I'm satisfied.
Haha I’m so sorry about triggering Siri! I’m glad you enjoyed the vid. The watch is definitely great, and I get about 2 days guaranteed of battery under normal use. It will be very intriguing to see how this kind of tech continues to evolve
QR code: Take a photo. It works on the Apple Watch.
As the system in my city requires you to check in with a camera, it is not possible for that. I do have all my necessary QR code passes on my apple wallet on my watch, but alas, it would not work for this.
@@MarcTaraz i understand. Perhaps Apple will come up with something. Enjoy HK. I loved it.
I love it too 💜
First I guess
Nailed it
18% lost during sleep tracking?? What do you do while sleeping? I only lose 8% overnight (8 hrs) with my Apple Watch Ultra lol
Maybe I sleep longer than you? I’ve seen quite a few people between 15 and 20%. I don’t think my 18% is that abnormal
@@MarcTaraz I mean, I was just being playful but sure. I lose 8% from 8 hours of sleep, as I mentioned. I hope to one day also sleep for 16 hours ;)
Do you use Apple’s Sleep app, or do you use a third party app? I use Apple’s, and I really only use it for the basic sleep metrics, and put it into sleep mode overnight. Maybe our Watches are being used differently during the night?
How do you know someone is a vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you
That watch is just so huge. Too big.
We all have our preferences!
Yes, the watch is bigger. But it has a bigger battery so the watch has to be bigger. The screen is bigger. It comes down to what you like. Some people don’t want to want a big watch other people like a big watch. It’s nice to have options. Personally, I think the ultra watch is super cool. I’m thinking about getting one
"I just came home from whole sport activity (been running, playing basketball...)"- I don't appreciate this kind of fake videos that are flooding around here!
Literally have the workout being shown on the watch my dude…
Where do you live that you have to wear mask still
Earth
Ohh me too:-0 but Ohio has been maskless for quite some time
Still using mask 😷
Still caring about my health and well-being and the health and well-being of all those around me
Masks PROVEN to be ineffectual ....just saying @@MarcTaraz
White boy listen why did you put it on low power mode? If you had it on 4g network it would not have drained it so bad? You would have had at least 50%left
Because I wanted to push it to the max while using the full capability and most precise tracking. I know if I put it on low power mode it would last longer. This was a stress test, not a test to see how long I could push it if I sacrificed every possible setting to eek out a lil more battery
Carcinogenic lol , continues on to the beach with nuclear plant in background lol
Why are you wearing a mask outside?
Because I care about my health and wellbeing and the health and wellbeing of those around me. Also its the law.
Masks PROVEN to be ineffectual ....just saying @@MarcTaraz
Can’t be done the phone needs to be on, but not close by. It’s impossible to have the phone off an use the smartwatch my ultra 2 tried it it didn’t work at all
You guys saw Lew do this and all are copying it now. You guys need to get original.
Actually Kew wasn’t the first someone else did it
