I've had the Apple Watch Ultra 1 since its release last year. What's so different about the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and should you consider upgrading?

If Snoop Dogg went into tech reviews..
The AWU1 goes into auto nightmode as well. Also the brightness really isn’t that different despite the number difference. The only real reason to get the Ultra 2 is if you’re a tech enthusiast and just have to have the latest and greatest. ( I am one of those people) but even I can’t find a reason to get it. If you have Ultra1 don’t buy it. If you have an Apple Watch that isn’t the Ultra just buy an Ultra 1 used or get it at its new discounted price. And for those of you trying to find an excuse to buy it because you want something new just get yourself a new watch band. You’re welcome 🙏
Big facts! I would probably suggest a new series 9 over the ultra 1 for certain people too.
@@justmattgraywhy?
Very well explained! Thx
Anytime!
It’s my default face too. I love it.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching 🫡
Wow the buttons sound different. I’m definitely getting a AWU 2 now.
It’s apples hidden feature nobody talks about
I’m coming from the Apple Watch SE and recently ordered the Ultra 2. Can’t wait!
Nice. Congrats!
I own U1 and tried U2 in store.. imo there is no difference - buy whichever cheaper. Assistive Touch on my U1 works great, just disable everything but double tapping + minizine the visual effect, it looks even better than U2's double tapping
Watched your video few days ago and came back to say you are definitely right about the buttons and the digital crown. No one else has mentioned this.
-The Action button and digital crown is more “clicky” sounding on the AWU2 and easier to press compared to AWU1.
-There is indeed less resistance with the crown on the AWU2 vs the AWU1.
-However its the opposite with the normal side button. More clicky on the AWU1 vs AWU2.
Overall happy with my AWU2. Its a snappier, faster experience overall. Animations are smoother as well. Definitely a difference!
I’ve gone back and forth about if it’s worth the upgrade. I don’t have any regrets. I also managed to scratch it in the exact same spot as my UW1 😂
@@justmattgray I got a refurb so Im able to return if I change my mind but yeah Im not sure if I would upgrade if I already had the U1 for a while. Ive never had a smartwatch but I remember when the U1 came out I said “oooo this is the one I want!” but decided it was too expensive. Finally saw refurbs for good deals recently and got to try the U1 for a week. Loved it but the experience was a little laggy and not consistent compared to the snappiness of other Apple products Im use to. I bit the bullet and went for an open box U2 and instantly noticed the differences. I paid a little more but ah whatever its Christmas. 😂 The U1 is going back next week. 🤣
Nice review
Thank you! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽
Enjoyed the video, but you didn’t talk at all about double tap. If you download the public beta, you can start using it right away and it actually is amazing. I bought the ultra 2 coming from a stainless steel 7 but I seriously thought of returning it to buy a used ultra 1, but after playing with double tap and for the difference in price I’m keeping my Ultra 2.
That’s great to hear. I wanted to try the beta but I didn’t want to have issues so early. What do you use double tap for the most?
@@justmattgray so the public beta is on beta three and I haven’t had any issues at all even with the first beta. I actually started using the public beta on my iPhone, because I actually was having a lot of issues with iOS 16 and iOS 17 beta seemed to resolve them all. But on the watch, I’ve never had any problems at all and we’re so close to the final release that I wouldn’t worry about trying it out now. Surprisingly double tap doesn’t do a lot, but where I use it the most is with Apple Music and its playlists. I’m riding a bicycle. I find it dangerous to take both hands off the handlebars and to try to advance to the next song with my left hand on the handlebar is awkward and almost as dangerous. But with double tap, I can steer the bike with my right hand And then double tap to skip the next song. May not sound like a big deal but it’s huge. You also get a little icon that pops up the confirms that double tap worked. It’s also nice for hanging up a call. I frequently use my AirPod pros but now, you have to double squeeze on the stem to hang up which I understand why because single squeeze didn’t work with call waiting or other services, but just being able to do it with double tap is faster and easier than trying to squeeze my AirPod Pro 2. I’ve only had the Ultra 2 for two weeks but so far I’m loving it.
So regarding the onboard Siri, since it uses cellular, do you have to have the cellular plan for the Siri to work quicker? In other words since I don't have the cellular plan for my Apple Watch ultra 1, will the Apple Watch ultra 2 be any quicker?
Do you have an answer to that please?
Siri will perform quicker when doing functions that it would normally use the phone for. if internet is needed then it won’t work without your phone near by it.
I’ve had my AWU1 since day one. I tried the AWU2 and wasn’t impressed not worth the upgrade
Here in the UK, Amazon are selling the U1 for £599 so I decided to get one.
Wish it was still being sold for this much
went from Apple Watch 8 to the Ultra 2. NO regrets, I did wonder the different from the ultra 1 vs ultra 2 so good video.
Huge upgrade. Thanks for watching. 🙌🏽
@@justmattgray 👍🏾💪🏾
@@justmattgraygreat review bro! I got my Apple Watch ultra 2 coming from a series 4! Best watch I’ve ever owned! And it pairs great with my new 15 pro max👍👍
And got the blue ocean band! Best ever!!
@chuck176 I missed out on blue 😭. Good job.
My experience between Ultra 1 and 2:
- buttons feel about the same when clicking, but Digital Crown turns easier (less tight) on Ultra 2.
- Speed is "snappier", especially in the new widgets view
- I can't tell the brightness difference in person
- Double tap works more consistently than AssistiveTouch
- No other noticeable differences
Are you on the beta? How is the battery life?
@@justmattgray battery life has been fine on 10.1 beta 2
@DiecastCoffee that’s good news. Can’t wait to try it out! Thanks for sharing 🫡
Storage was the most notable difference for me. I wanted more storage and got it.
How do you not mix them up? lol does it say ultra 2 on the back?
No
How about gps? Is it better? I believe only ultra 2 is dual band?
Yup gps is better in the ultra 2. Def more reliable.
@@justmattgray thank you, is it based on your own experience? According to the website both 1 and 2 appear to have the same dual GPS band 😅
Which band do you use on the AWU2?
I’ve been wearing the Casteify bounce band in black for a week . I just took it off for the original alpine loop.
@@justmattgray thanks. But what I meant is what silver band are you wearing on your AWU2 in this video?
Nice video btw, enjoyed watching it 😊
@@SnoopBok gotcha! The silver one is by sandmac. The link is in the description. Thanks for watching!!!
I feel like I'm an expert on Apple Watch buttons now
I saw no difference and compared it in Apple Store, tad brighter .. I’ll wait till next year hopefully there will be a black model.
I’m patiently waiting for black. I’ll be watching (pun intended) how well the black titanium iPhone does with chipping.
@@justmattgraynew iPhone 15 pro titanium blue every owner is complaining about chips visible and they don't know how these chips happened. That's why no black or whatever colour of titanium watch is available. Clearly.
You forgot double tap :-)
I wish it was available smh. 😂
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
First 🏆

Okay why did waste money 💰 on ultra2
Double tap 😂
@@justmattgray😂 I got the Ultra 1 for the red dark mode screen.
Have you ever tested in dark environments? Can’t find ultra 1 and fir little cheaper, you buy older model is insane. Never buy older electronic models to save little money!
Yes. Works great. I didn’t have any issues. You can find a used UW1 for $400
@@justmattgray
You still think a open box like new AWU1 worth it for $400 today ?
@antmo991 yes. The watch is so tough it’s a no brainer.
Apple watches or latest iphones are too expensive and their technology has little compared to Androids'. Due to budget limited, i prefer Android watch instead. Just bought Kieslect calling watch for only 79$ with IP68 water resistance and Amoled touch 1.43 inches. I'm more than happy not to buy a 500$ apple watch Nah! Rich people will do but not me lolzz
Very true. Where do you live?
Calling Apple products 'too expensive' then comparing it to a $79 crapwatch? Just tell us you're broke lol
they cheaper ones for you
@@victuringan1429 I am poor so I bought an affordable watch, still I am excited with its quality.
A lot cheaper than a Rolex😂
