Two things for Jake to know: 1. Complications is the watch industry term for any facet on a watch that does more than tell time. "They're called complications because they "complicate" the watch and watchmaking process." 2. The Ocean band has an optional extension if your wrist is too chonky. I guess it's because if you're diving with it you might more length to get it around your wet suit? The band extension is an additional 50 USD.
As much as I want the bigger battery, this watch is probably overkill for me. At least the Ultra works with existing bands, though. Plus, unlike the Series 8, the Ultra supports Bluetooth 5.3.
@@hazelnuts23 It might be what contributes to that really long battery life to be honest. 36 hours of battery life on a watch that can do so much is honestly pretty impressive, even with LTE enabled it still manages 18 hours and that is also equally impressive and gets up there with some phones.
@@hazelnuts23 More battery life for the Watch is always good. 5% would be nearly an hour more battery life (calculated from 18 hours, nearly two for the ultra).
They need to add an altimeter for skydivers. We have to buy a completely different gps, accelerometer, and altitude sensing device. All for the low price of 1300, I’d pay 799 for a Apple Watch then
Since I got my Series 8 I have been having little flashes of "Oh! I should have sprung for the Ultra!" but if I spend another 10 seconds on that thought I realize I'd be buying it just because of what it represents instead of what it can do. I would never take fully advantage of it as I think many people do. Apple did right in putting this watch on the 799 price range instead of the Edition watches (RIP) because I think they will sell more of that price bracket this way but it also makes regular people like me reflect on which one to truly get. Ultimately, I'm happy with my Series 8 it was a good upgrade from my old S5.
I could imagine the siren being quite handy if you manage to survive something like an avalanche but are buried under too much snow to dig yourself out of, as the siren would help rescuers to find you, assuming the siren could also reach through packed snow.
My wife's been loving hers for the past few weeks. Her main thing has been the battery life improvement, and overall better readability (because it's slightly larger than her last one).
if I didn't already have the excellent Polar Grit X I'd get this. Given the Grit is 600 and this is 800 but has integrated cellular and a freakin diving computer (that I'd use a few times every summer) and a ton of other cool features I'd immediately get it.
@@RandomUser2401 I'm in the same boat with the Fenix 6x Sapphire, if it weren't already ridiculously overpowered for my general use case plus my mountaineering, I'd totally be grabbing one, particularly if it had Garmin inReach capabilities like the Fenix series does.
I’m an Android guy but I’ve went to this watch as I’m a hiker with Addisons and Type One Diabetes in Scotland. Having satellite calling on the iPhone, and fall detection with very accurate GPS and proper navigation functionality is amazing. I was holding out until the Pixel Watch, but even my Fitbit has more sensors that that £400 watch… despite them owning Fitbit.
I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks after upgrading from my Series 5 Edition, and it’s a massive upgrade…screen is much more legible, I can actually type on the tiny keyboard rather than having to draw each letter individually, and the battery life can get me through two days, if not 3 in a pinch. Worth it for the battery life improvement, in my humble opinion.
I really hope they can bring the battery life improvements to the lower models in the future as the ultra just seems overkill for my use personally. But I'd love to be able to get 2 or maybe even 3 days out of the battery.
I am buying the hell out of the second generation of this thing. Can’t justify it yet because my Series 4 is still doing so well. Doubt it gets the watchOS 10 upgrade but it will be 5 years old by then so that’s pretty good. My 44mm is only occasionally starting to give me low battery notifications. I’ve always charged it daily. I think this is a pretty good price for what it is. Everyone forgets the old Series 7 titanium was $849 so this thing is $50 cheaper and better in every way with a nicer band and is still titanium.
The Apple Watch Ultra has been almost unnoticeable in terms of size compared to the Series 4 that I upgrade from, as in there's no downside at all from the size upgrade. The battery life is fantastic, my Series 4 after 4 years of use needs to be charged about once a day, it lasted just about 2 when I first got it. I charged my Ultra to 100% at 12:14 on Wednesday, I'm going into Friday with 30% remaining. That's with the always-on display but the wrist raise turned off. I'm sure there's plenty of ways you can optimize the battery itself to get even longer, but it's working great as is. I told myself that I'd turn the always-on display off when I get a new watch, but I wasn't anticipating the Ultra, and I'm tempted to keep it on because the battery life is so great compared to my Series 4. If you're scoffing at the price of the Apple Watch Ultra compared to the Series 8, I suggest considering: an upgrade to cellular is $100, so that $399 becomes $499, and then the upgrade from aluminum to the more durable stainless steel is another $200, taking that $499 to $699. For the 45mm size, the prices go from $429 to $529 to $749. Throw in the cost of one of Apple's more premium bands and you match the price with the Ultra, while getting a bigger, brighter screen, double the rated battery life, the improved GPS, the action button, a braided charging cable, and an even more durable case and screen. The video that iupdate did trying to damage the Ultra ended up breaking the actual OLED pixels underneath the sapphire before damaging the sapphire itself (which I don't think the sapphire was damaged at all even then iirc). The only downside is that it's such a good value that it's still about a month out depending on which band you want or where you get it from.
@@votdfak No. Just no, how do you Einsteins not get this. ALL the watches from Garmin and Polar are SPORTS watches with some smart features. They differ in key properties from actual SMARTwatches like the AW which has a huge influence on battery life. Two days in an actual smartwatch is far from laughable.
I was a bit unsure when I ordered mine. Does it justify the price? Will it be too big? A few weeks in and I think it’s the best product Apple has made in years. It’s a truly premium smartwatch that justifies its price and you quickly get used to the size.
Never did I think I enjoy Luke more than Linus on videos. But after Linus horrible video on AirPods Pro, where he overlooked settings and the back button to the point the editor had to blur it, this video felt really good. I love it when they reciew products and take time to look up things. The ultra isn’t for me but I do enjoy good videos. I wish the pixel watch was more competitive. Or withings to an Apple Watch.
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
THe price is steep. But looking at the non ultra LTE model, with a band, and everything else the price delta, last I checked, was about $100 USD. So getting "that much more" battery life alone is a yuuuge selling point.
The cellular 45 mm series 8 with a band is $529 and the 41 mm is $499, or knock $100 of those for GPS only. So the price difference is actually like $270-$300 which is much more significant. Plus I would imagine there will be a fair amount of people that don’t actually need the cellular capability and won’t use it just because it’s a premium apple product. It is a cool watch though and makes me excited for the future
@@CertifiedSlamboy well sure, but why buy the titanium series 7 (which I can’t even seem to find anywhere new online via a quick search) when the ultra exists now. Also every single person I know that owns an Apple Watch (myself included) would just buy the cheapest band package because we all just end up buying cheaper non-apple bands. I don’t know anyone that uses the band that came with their watch.
@@manicnode9303 Don't get me wrong it's EXTREMELY expensive. But that 36 hour battery life alone is worth it.

Being forgetful and *needing* the watch -- well there ya go. I don't recall the exact load out, they must have picked up apple car or something.
Should've got someone who already uses a GPS watch to unbox this.

I love all LTT channels. Watch all off everu day. But seems due to enough staff there dumping fun moments in there now... Loge it ! Keep up.. much love from netherlands
Was never really a fan of the square watch, but this does look like a dope watch. But it's hard to get around that price point, wow. I'll stick with my garmin.
I already ordered mine. It’s gonna take a while to get here though unfortunately so I’ll have to wait. But I’m definitely getting Nomad’s titanium strap to go along with it for daily use and switch to the ocean strap for when I workout or go swimming/diving (I actually dive so I’m curious to see how it performs).
Got mine earlier this week. Been loving it so far, I had been a Google fangirl for over a decade, but since the past few years I've moved to Apple, iPhone 13 Pro Max and Apple Watch Ultra, definitely the best combo until Google decides to care about its customers again, I might grab the Pixel 7 Pro, but first the 2022 iPad Pro.
@@KanadeTachibanaBlackMidi No, not at all, but I've had numerous issues where it's clear Google has become increasingly disorganized, the Stadia decomissioning being a perfect recent example, along with targeting the mainstream consuming while having their higher end products at a non competitive price with worse off real world performance compared to other offerings. And Google is no longer the same as when they were making the Nexus phones, and the new pixel watch would only be impressive 3 years ago, especially compared to modern releases from Samsung and Apple in the past month.
I'm considering giving up and coming back to Apple. My Pixel 6 Pro gets scaldingly hot at times. I also bought a Fossil Gen 6 with the promise it would get Wear OS 3 a few months after lauch, approaching a year now so I sold it out of disgust.
Well, I did the complete opposite, after 15 years of Apple. 12 Pro --> Fold 4, AW6 SS --> Garmin Epix 2, Airpods Pro --> Sony wf1000xm4. When Apple decides to give us something revolutionary again, like iPhone X, I'll come back.
13:47 "You probably have noticed that cop cars that the lights inside of them, they're red" No I have not Jake, but I also don't drive a BMW whose drivers constantly get pulled over, so.
The battery life is noticeably better but it’s not twice as good as my series 5. I’m not using any LTE on either watch. I’d say 60-70% better battery life. Not double, though.
@@VitalVampyr That is true, though you can see the connection between the two dots. To be fair, big mountains at that height with filters on the picture to begin with, not necessarily very recognisable, you can tell how many peaks there are if you really know your mountains but other than that, pretty rough. To be fair also, Alps are like a whole area of mountains not just *a* mountain so... As i said, a wild guess, it'd be subtle but funny if it was true though.
People have measured it to do 1000 nits which is roughly equal to 3300 lumen. That is a lot of light when you are out in the woods at night or underwater. A maglite ml300L will do “only” 487 lumen.
may not be a terrible idea to use as a back up dive computer or a back up to the back up type but idk if I would trust it my life compared to dedicated computers that are the same price
Also the ISO rating for the water resistance of the watch is the kind done to regular watches (ISO 22810), not what Dive watches normally have (ISO 6425). Don't know if that really matters, since I'm not a diver, but it is interesting.
I'm pretty sure Apple themselves even stated that you shouldn't rely solely on the Apple watch as a dive computer and you should still have backups just in case because you never know.
The previous versions of the titanium Apple Watch felt stupidly overpriced since those were the same watch, just nearly double the price just because they were titanium.....This time, it does look like it's going to be worth it for some people since the price hasn't risen compared to the older titanium models while having a load of new features.
Umm, is there a new feature all the other watches, in this series, do not have? No: It is just an expensive case that anyone could afford to replace/repair in its lifetime. OMG!!! It has a depth gauge??!!?!?! That means I can leave my dedicated DG in a thrift shop!!!! (not) SLEEP TRACKING!!! My 5 does that. O2!!!?? Yeah, what every 'extremists' sports needs: a first gen wrist $19.00 pulse O2. (I cannot sing anymore; I wonder what that means?) It is a gen 8 with colors that let people know you have too much money. "My clock is bigger than yours, bigger than yours, bigger than yours". Because old fit people still cannot read 45mm...? smh
If you never wore traditional watches but love smartwatches, this is the one for you. My conventional watch brain won’t allow me to wear a 49mm daily lol
I stopped wearing my Apple Watch because I got a job in the energy/construction industry and I couldn’t risk cracking it but with this new design I think imma get it and start wearing a watch again
What have they changed recently in the short circuit set, that the hosts keep looking slightly lower than the camera. It could be a teleprompter, but I thought that SC was supposed to be unscripted. I noticed this too on the linus 4090 video. It's really distracting
I’m a certified diver, and while most may think that the Oceanic dive feature is ridiculous, I guarantee you that most divers in the Apple ecosystem will be wearing this watch the next time I go diving. I’m a Android (Galaxy S22 Ultra) nerd, but that dive feature is super compelling. Especially since I paid over $1k for my dive computer. However, my dive computer is Air Integrated, so I can keep an eye on my air, directly on my wrist. The Apple watch doesn’t offer that, but man it’s sweet. I’m still going to pass, but it almost got me.
It makes me crazy how low he wears the watch and the dile is poking into his hand. Also you should wear them a little bit higher and tight for better readings.
Yeah, in my professional opinion, I wouldn't dive with this until it gains ascent rate alarms at the minimum, which appears to be coming, but it's still pretty cool. (I also won't dive with it because I have a dedicated dive computer already but that's another issue)
I have never dived in my life but I saw an MKBHD video of him saying some of the features and I could have sworn the alarm was one of them but I'm not sure.
@@ProXcaliber it appears to be coming at the very least, all I've seen is the depth app which works down to PADI recreational limits and tracks time, and have heard mentions of an Oceanic app that's more fully featured but it sounds like that's just in progress? Not sure
@@Unionhawk73 Yes the oceanic app is the one for us divers and is coming or was coming in october, right now the depth meter is useless, also if it doesnt have air integration is a big miss for a dive computer
@@leviathan19 air integration is nice to have for sure, I love my OCi, air time remaining is a great number to have on the fly, but as long as it has ascent rate and no deco limits it'll be serviceable. I'd be impressed if Apple allows it to work with an Oceanic transmitter or whatever.
I can’t justify getting it cause I have a series 6, but the dive computer makes me really excited. I don’t think it would be able to read the PSI in the tank cause it wouldn’t be attached to it, but it would be really nice to have. The only reason I wouldn’t get personally it is because it’s only rated for something like 40-60m, which is only really deep enough for recreational diving and not anything past that
If I'm not mistaken I think it's actually rated for up to 100m? I might be wrong on that but I'm pretty sure the 40m rating is only for the currently included diving app which stops reading at that depth. The new diving app mentioned in the video though should allow it to read up to 100m.
@@kevinji7285 Subscription based dive computer? This has gone too far. Imagine your subscription expires halfway through a dive lol. I'll keep my dive computer with dedicated hardware/software plus months of battery life and no subscription.

I love all LTT channels. Watch all off everu day. But seems due to enough staff there dumping fun moments in there now... Loge it ! Keep up.. much love from netherlands
Can someone translate this to English for me?
@@Medabee8 Unfortunately I’m not fluent in Condescending, otherwise I would’ve translated it for you!
Was never really a fan of the square watch, but this does look like a dope watch.
But it's hard to get around that price point, wow.
I'll stick with my garmin.
I already ordered mine. It’s gonna take a while to get here though unfortunately so I’ll have to wait. But I’m definitely getting Nomad’s titanium strap to go along with it for daily use and switch to the ocean strap for when I workout or go swimming/diving (I actually dive so I’m curious to see how it performs).
Apple watch video when the pixel watch is dropped the same day. Lol. Love it.
"as far as you have other apple products you probably have an usb c charger already" and he said it without the slightest smile...
Got mine earlier this week. Been loving it so far, I had been a Google fangirl for over a decade, but since the past few years I've moved to Apple, iPhone 13 Pro Max and Apple Watch Ultra, definitely the best combo until Google decides to care about its customers again, I might grab the Pixel 7 Pro, but first the 2022 iPad Pro.
Are you saying Apple care about customers? Nice joke.
@@KanadeTachibanaBlackMidi No, not at all, but I've had numerous issues where it's clear Google has become increasingly disorganized, the Stadia decomissioning being a perfect recent example, along with targeting the mainstream consuming while having their higher end products at a non competitive price with worse off real world performance compared to other offerings. And Google is no longer the same as when they were making the Nexus phones, and the new pixel watch would only be impressive 3 years ago, especially compared to modern releases from Samsung and Apple in the past month.
I'm considering giving up and coming back to Apple. My Pixel 6 Pro gets scaldingly hot at times. I also bought a Fossil Gen 6 with the promise it would get Wear OS 3 a few months after lauch, approaching a year now so I sold it out of disgust.
@@AugustERaven Do you just buy everything new to have it for bragging rights or just to have the best even though you don’t really need it?
Well, I did the complete opposite, after 15 years of Apple. 12 Pro --> Fold 4, AW6 SS --> Garmin Epix 2, Airpods Pro --> Sony wf1000xm4. When Apple decides to give us something revolutionary again, like iPhone X, I'll come back.
Set the poop waypoint as brown and set the siren to go off if you get close to it lol.
When Linus intervenes "It's a sleeve, not a brace" "yeah whatever"..oh fatherly love.
13:47 "You probably have noticed that cop cars that the lights inside of them, they're red"
No I have not Jake, but I also don't drive a BMW whose drivers constantly get pulled over, so.
3:07 beautiful hands dude :)
Getting mine this week. First watch since the series 4. Very pumped for it. That extended battery life is going to be massive
The battery life is noticeably better but it’s not twice as good as my series 5. I’m not using any LTE on either watch. I’d say 60-70% better battery life. Not double, though.
I upgraded from my series 4 and have had it since it first came out, its wayyyy better, i cant wait to upgrade again in 4-5 years
What made you upgrade? My series 4 is still going strong with around 50% of battery left every evening. Also no lagg or slowdowns
Get an artificial depth tank that uses pressure or whatever for the testing Lab that would be awesome!
3:11 that ain’t his hands lol
That are Sarah's hands for the Series 7 Review.
"Do you know what mountain this is?"
"Snow Mountain!"
*three seconds later*
"So you can get *Alpine band*"
Wild guess, the picture was of the Alps.
"Alpine" can refer to the higher parts of tall mountains generally.
@@VitalVampyr That is true, though you can see the connection between the two dots.
To be fair, big mountains at that height with filters on the picture to begin with, not necessarily very recognisable, you can tell how many peaks there are if you really know your mountains but other than that, pretty rough.
To be fair also, Alps are like a whole area of mountains not just *a* mountain so...
As i said, a wild guess, it'd be subtle but funny if it was true though.
I feel at that price it could have had an actual flashlight and more buttons for gloved or underwater navigation of basic features
People have measured it to do 1000 nits which is roughly equal to 3300 lumen. That is a lot of light when you are out in the woods at night or underwater. A maglite ml300L will do “only” 487 lumen.
Crazy that jake painted his nails for just a couple of the top down shots!
3:08
may not be a terrible idea to use as a back up dive computer or a back up to the back up type but idk if I would trust it my life compared to dedicated computers that are the same price
Also the ISO rating for the water resistance of the watch is the kind done to regular watches (ISO 22810), not what Dive watches normally have (ISO 6425). Don't know if that really matters, since I'm not a diver, but it is interesting.
I'm pretty sure Apple themselves even stated that you shouldn't rely solely on the Apple watch as a dive computer and you should still have backups just in case because you never know.
well the app is made by oceanic so the algorithm for deco is solid, oceanic knows a thing or two about diving gear
The holes in the ocean band can be used to run bungee cords through it to secure more equipment.
The previous versions of the titanium Apple Watch felt stupidly overpriced since those were the same watch, just nearly double the price just because they were titanium.....This time, it does look like it's going to be worth it for some people since the price hasn't risen compared to the older titanium models while having a load of new features.
Umm,
is there a new feature all the other watches, in this series, do not have?
No:
It is just an expensive case that anyone could afford to replace/repair in its lifetime.
OMG!!!
It has a depth gauge??!!?!?! That means I can leave my dedicated DG in a thrift shop!!!! (not)
SLEEP TRACKING!!!
My 5 does that.
O2!!!??
Yeah, what every 'extremists' sports needs: a first gen wrist $19.00 pulse O2. (I cannot sing anymore; I wonder what that means?)
It is a gen 8 with colors that let people know you have too much money.
"My clock is bigger than yours, bigger than yours, bigger than yours".
Because old fit people still cannot read 45mm...?
smh
@@LilRedDog battery life not a factor for you? Brighter display not a factor?
@@LilRedDog you have to be at least 13 to be on RUclips bro sorry. You better get to bed, it’s a school night.
I think that was a missed point for most reviewers the price vs old Ti apple watches actually is excellent
@@LilRedDog
Just say you're a salty Apple hater next time.
It'll be quicker.
If you never wore traditional watches but love smartwatches, this is the one for you.
My conventional watch brain won’t allow me to wear a 49mm daily lol
i wanna see this guy do a what’s on my hard drive challenge
I'll never see the appeal of a watch that will stop telling the time unless you have the charger and can find A/C power within a few days???
Oh! Like your nails at 3:09! But somehow your fingers changed too!!
4:25 Jake going with extreme precision, Mil = 1/1000 inch, so 5x .0254mm
13:06 your voice my dude 🤌🏼
Honestly I use my Apple Watch a bunch on my motorcycle from maps to a bunch of things so I’m pleased with this!
I strife to have a relationship like LTT has with Dbrand
I stopped wearing my Apple Watch because I got a job in the energy/construction industry and I couldn’t risk cracking it but with this new design I think imma get it and start wearing a watch again
I still don't think we should be giving Apple a pass for not including chargers. The diving feature looks pretty neat, but the cost is stupidly high.
I turned of Raise to Wake but left Always On Display on, with medium brightness set and get about 48 hours out of it.
yall should do a bangle js 2 review :) open software and hardware
It's fun to watch them show off technology that I will never have the money to buy
@12:15 If you're full of water after going diving something went horribly wrong.
Interesting but as a diver i would stick to an actual dive computer with tank pressure integration. Most likley Shearwater or Garmin
Jake got nice nails at 3:07.
"*ur welcome -editor" hahah, nice one!
"Wait. which Jake?" "haha yeah" That joke was great 😂
What have they changed recently in the short circuit set, that the hosts keep looking slightly lower than the camera. It could be a teleprompter, but I thought that SC was supposed to be unscripted. I noticed this too on the linus 4090 video. It's really distracting
I appreciate Neptune, the Mystic at the beginning of the video
I’m a certified diver, and while most may think that the Oceanic dive feature is ridiculous, I guarantee you that most divers in the Apple ecosystem will be wearing this watch the next time I go diving. I’m a Android (Galaxy S22 Ultra) nerd, but that dive feature is super compelling. Especially since I paid over $1k for my dive computer. However, my dive computer is Air Integrated, so I can keep an eye on my air, directly on my wrist. The Apple watch doesn’t offer that, but man it’s sweet. I’m still going to pass, but it almost got me.
I'm amazed Dbrand still sponsors you
🤣🤣 set a waypoint to where you pooped so you won't step on it, hilarious 😂
Just received one from South Korea today and my first impression was: *Man, this boi’s huge.*
It makes me crazy how low he wears the watch and the dile is poking into his hand.
Also you should wear them a little bit higher and tight for better readings.
The backtrack and waypoint is definetely useful
Does anyone know where to get that regular black elastic armband that Jake uses?...
“Oh look a snow mountain” is how i’d feel lol
i can still hear it... no sound 😂 😂
At first the watch box was upside-down and then the just skipped to the opened outer cover and WOW LOOK AT THAT UNBOXING EXPERIENCE
Silly Jake.
I love Jakes painted finger nails in this one! The black really suits him ;) Well done for letting your son experiment Linus!
“Urr, pew pew” 😁 Love it
Yeah, in my professional opinion, I wouldn't dive with this until it gains ascent rate alarms at the minimum, which appears to be coming, but it's still pretty cool. (I also won't dive with it because I have a dedicated dive computer already but that's another issue)
I have never dived in my life but I saw an MKBHD video of him saying some of the features and I could have sworn the alarm was one of them but I'm not sure.
@@ProXcaliber it appears to be coming at the very least, all I've seen is the depth app which works down to PADI recreational limits and tracks time, and have heard mentions of an Oceanic app that's more fully featured but it sounds like that's just in progress? Not sure
@@Unionhawk73 Yes the oceanic app is the one for us divers and is coming or was coming in october, right now the depth meter is useless, also if it doesnt have air integration is a big miss for a dive computer
@@leviathan19 air integration is nice to have for sure, I love my OCi, air time remaining is a great number to have on the fly, but as long as it has ascent rate and no deco limits it'll be serviceable. I'd be impressed if Apple allows it to work with an Oceanic transmitter or whatever.
@@ProXcaliber The app isn't even out yet.
I can’t justify getting it cause I have a series 6, but the dive computer makes me really excited. I don’t think it would be able to read the PSI in the tank cause it wouldn’t be attached to it, but it would be really nice to have. The only reason I wouldn’t get personally it is because it’s only rated for something like 40-60m, which is only really deep enough for recreational diving and not anything past that
If I'm not mistaken I think it's actually rated for up to 100m? I might be wrong on that but I'm pretty sure the 40m rating is only for the currently included diving app which stops reading at that depth. The new diving app mentioned in the video though should allow it to read up to 100m.
@@ProXcaliber no, they will cap it at 40m. It's not meant for tech and the app is also subscription based.
@@kevinji7285 Subscription based dive computer? This has gone too far. Imagine your subscription expires halfway through a dive lol. I'll keep my dive computer with dedicated hardware/software plus months of battery life and no subscription.
@@kevinji7285 Of course it isn’t meant for tech.
4:22 quick mafs
I think I finally know the problem, I must not know what "premium" feels like 😅
Regular watch bands work as well. I didn’t like the band I got with my Apple Watch Ultra, so I’m using my old, white silicone band.
3:00 I thought it was funny the editor didn't correct Jake like they did Plouffe in his last video... Nevermind ha ha 😅
man I wish these would have even better battery life... like garmin instinct 2 with MIP screen for example, which has 30 days of battery life without gps on
3:08 how did he get lady hands?
As much as I love Apple tech products.. for diving I will stick With Mares or Suunto dive watches/computers, thank you. :D
Been loving mine... found a great Ti wrist band for it so all Ti looks awesome :)
Yo this is a real life pip boy
