Today we dive into a comprehensive comparison between the Apple Watch Ultra 1 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The focus is on key factors like speed and screen brightness, and it's worth noting that both watches are connected to different iPhones - the Ultra 1 to an iPhone 14 Pro and the Ultra 2 to an iPhone 15 Pro. The devices have been freshly rebooted, ensuring a level playing field with no prior app activity.
The video kicks off with a noticeable speed advantage for the Ultra 2 during the boot-up process and data syncing. The reviewer goes on to test various app launches, revealing mostly identical performance between the two, with occasional differences in favor of the Ultra 2. They also point out the Ultra 2's brighter screen and a faster response from the action button, which is a significant improvement.
Curiosity leads the reviewer to explore Siri commands, with some unexpected outcomes. The Ultra 1 surprisingly outperforms the Ultra 2 in starting certain workouts. The video speculates on possible updates from Apple to address these inconsistencies.
The screen brightness, a key feature of the Ultra 2, is demonstrated by comparing the flashlight function. The Ultra 2 shines brighter, though the practical implications are debated. In summary, the video suggests that while the Ultra 2 has advantages, the differences may not be substantial enough to justify the higher price compared to the Ultra 1, unless you're specifically excited about forthcoming features like the pinch gesture. If you want to delve deeper into the action button and its customization, a link is provided in the video description. Enjoy watching!

In other words, stick with the original ultra
Yeah if you have it. And if you don’t. Then don’t just skip over the ultra 1 at a reduced price.
Absolutely! Going to buy one barely used with almost 1 year official warranty at less than 500 dollars, while in my country the 2 gen is 1000😊@@TheAppleBias
Like always😊
How do you get those unique watch faces? Even your font is different. I only have like 3 fonts to choose from?
You’re only going to notice this difference in videos like this. When you’re using one over the other day to day, you won’t notice the difference going from one to the other. If you have the 1st gen, like me, I’d say keep it.
Agreed and I think something will happen and the Siri will get a little faster. But the 1st gen ultra is already so fast that it’s hard for them to improve on.
I’ve got the ultra 2 and had the ultra 1, you can tell a pretty big difference in a lot of things, so don’t go fooling yourself, there’s definitely improvements.
Never nothing good when it’s my year to upgrade lol
I have apple watch 4 works still, but shopping around, is it worth upgrading?😊
I think so from the 4. You'll get always on display, better battery, blood oxygen (if you get one soon, may be removed on new watches soon). Series 9 and Ultra have brighter screens. I love the always on display that alone was worth it to me to upgrade from the 4 when the 5 came out. But I am a nerd and love this stuff.
I was all set coming from a series 6 to the ultra. My main reason is for the extra durability and a little more battery power. After watching several comparative videos I elected the AWU 1 as I got a reduced price of basically $175..and I have no interest in the pinch on the 2. The 1st edition is more than bright enough for my needs so I am happy with what the 1st edition has to offer
Glad to have been a part of helping you save some money.
many thanks,,
many thanks, newer is not always better,,lol@@TheAppleBias
How much buy?
How do you get that price? I got mine used for 680 CAD 😢
Got mine through the carrier.
To spend a couple hundred bucks more for a few milliseconds faster seems absurd to me. It takes me 8 hours of my life to make a couple of hundred dollars. Is a few milliseconds worth 8 hours of my life ?
What should I get if I’d like to update from SE 1st gen?
Id always say get what you want if you have the money. If the ultra 2 is what you want then just get it. But if you want to save some money the first ultra is still just as good. Main things you will be missing is the pinch feature when it is released. Day to day I honestly don’t think you’ll notice the brighter screen or the speed increase.
@@TheAppleBiasYou can enable the pinch feature under Accessibility in the Settings. I can even use it on my Apple watch 4.
@suiqxne yeah I got a video here on how to make it more useful as well.
ruclips.net/video/QcxWMNWCTZs/видео.html
I’ll keep my Ultra 1. I’ve watched a number of videos and nothing justifies the upgrade.
Smart move.
Battery life, boy.
@@FortuneCookie187why the boy at the end 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 your special character huh
Just bought a gently used AWU1 and coming from a Series 6
Nice. Yeah I think that the smartest way to go. The ultra battery is so amazing it doesn’t degrade like the series ones so the old ones will still last multiple days. And you save money.
Did you expect these results?
The new update 10 has cut my battery life a lot on my Ultra 1.
I used to get 2 days of battery life.
Now I get 1.5 days, give or take.
Yeah I am seeing the hit as well. This is fairly normal. Usually it take a bit for Apple to normalize battery. My guess is when 10.1 comes out it will be at least close to normal.
Same experience as you with my gen1. But just updated to 10.1 and hope that fixes it.
Apple needs to chill out with software inducing slow downs. I’ll just stop upgrading their software pretty soon to preserve speed/functionality as along as I can.
@dembinsk yeah first build or 2 after the betas are always a little more battery hungry. A lot of people just wait a month and then update. I heard 10.1 did have battery improvements.
Same. Isn’t it a cool coincidence that when they come out with something new, the old one mysteriously has a horrible battery life all of a sudden.
@mixonmixon2723 I haven’t seen that happen. My ultra 1 still does the same battery life wise as it did when I got it.
Anyone else suffering major battery drain on watch ultra gen 1 after watch os10 update? I was getting 3.5 days use from a single charge and now only getting 2 days at best. Really disappointing and hoping Apple address this.
They is usually a hit right after an update but also first version can be a battery hog as well. It should stabilize soonish probably.
Vloggers didn’t mention about weight 😅😅😅
Weight? Like of the device? If I missed that they are the same. I think it might be .1 gram more for the 2
Anyone have any battery life comparisons
Comparisons are so hard cause you need 2 brand new devices to do it right and even then it’s still tough. I’ve heard as much as an additional 12 hours from the new one. But I still wouldn’t guarantee that to be the regular usecase.
I do like the fact that he says the boot up process is waaayyy longer on the ultra 1 , in reality it is measured in seconds … this is where we are nowadays where boot up and app launches on tech are measured in seconds different but somehow this is made out to be a big deal…
I also recommend not buying the 2nd gen over the first. But for some the extra seconds add up and are worth the upgrade cost.
Enfin une vidéo intelligente ! Effectivement j’arrive au même constat c’est même la première fois que je vais renvoyer un produit je ne vois quasiment aucune différence entre les deux non plus . Après la V1 est déjà parfaite pour mes usages , par contre où je suis déçu c’est pour un produit aussi chère c’est que la V2 ne soit toujours pas 5G , toujours wifi 4 ! Pour la pérennité dans le temps c’est important
Thanks! Yeah right now no reason to pick v2 over v1
@@TheAppleBias même l’autonomie est identique par contre à l’usage tu vois quand même que la puce S9 est un peu plus fluide dans les animations par contre
I have the ultra 1. Difference is not noticeable to me at least.
Yeah. Hopefully this year we’ll get some cool new features to make the upgrade worth it.
I have the Apple Watch SE and after seeing this, I’m getting the Ultra 2 now.
Curious what in the video sold you on the 2 instead of finding a 1 for sale?
@@TheAppleBias the battery life and the brightness of the screen. My SE watch battery is bad. I do a lot of outdoors activities and hiking
@AAM2011 ok just curious. Either are great watches and great upgrades from the SE.
Finally someone who understands that the massive battery life upgrade is worth to pay a lil bit more, smart boy.👍🏻
Question will the bands for the ultra 1 fit on the ultra 2?
Yeah the band connector has been the same since the original Apple Watch for all watches. That may change next year tho. ruclips.net/video/S-YZ7KAxFHs/видео.html
@@TheAppleBias Awesome thanks. Just curious if i were to get one i dont plan to spend on the expensive bands at Apple when i get cheaper third party and better designs elsewhere for less. :D
Of course its the same watch they nust dont admit it lol
The sound quality sounds really a whole better on the 2
For phone calls? I tested the siren but cut that part out of the video cause those sounded the same and were loud and annoying. 😂
When you click the action button, on frame by frame view you always click the ultra 2 first. This is pretty minor upgrade wich in day to day use is never going to see with naked eyes. Pretty much all youtube-rs says that Ultra 1 is the watch to go. I buyed it new 3 weeks ago saved around 100$ vs ultra 2 and im pretty happy.
will the ultra 1 get double tap feature?
No they are claiming it can only work with the second gen and series 9 because it needed the new chip to be reliable. I feel like it’s more of a we are leaving this feature out to give the new watches more of a difference.
Agree,,my thoughts exactly. If the never had that exclusive to the AWU 2 there would be absolutely no reason for people to upgrade,,,well that still not enough reason for me.Really in essence just think how many times a day we nip out fingers together. I would kill a battery in 12 hrs...lol@@TheAppleBias
It's has it lol Apple just won't tell you so they can push the gimmick out there and sell ultra 2s. If you are on watch OS 10 it's in accessibility settings.
Yeah that been around for a while but it’s not the same. Yes it has the same gesture to trigger things. But the new system is much more useful for the majority or people with the action navigating multiple areas. Where the old system was fully designed for those that needed the ability to navigate the entire app section by section.
It's not different from the ultra 1. If these are both on OS 10 it's not going to function any different. Literally this is the same watch lol
Thanks for the video was able to pick up the ultra one for 561 out the door. Before the holiday, I think I made the right move..
Nice yeah I agree. I am working on a video on how to get a better version of double tap working on all watches.
I just had subscribed to you
So I have the watch ultra 1😊 I absolutely didn’t want to yours upgrade I now
Thanks for the sub! Glad the video was helpful.
I don't get why so much fuss about that pinch feature.... I mean, I already use the pinch feature on the accessibility on my Series 7 and it works very fine!!!
The new feature is very different. The accessibility is setup to navigate the watch for those who can’t use both hands. The new one is set to trigger certain actions quickly based on what’s going on on the watch at the moment.
Double tap is already on the ultra 1 and 8 series. On watch OS 10 it's in accessibility settings. I have used it a bit and honestly it's not all that.
2 feature aren’t really the same they have a gesture that’s the same but the actions that one gesture can perform on the 9 and ultra 2 are completely different.
@@TheAppleBias in real world everyday usage there is literally no difference between the ultra 1 and 2 honestly. That double tap is so gimmicky I don't think a lot of people will be using it lol
It seems that nobody is talking about the biggest selling point of the Ultra 2. The battery life goes up to 72hrs that’s a massive 12hrs more then the Ultra version 1. It’s a huge reason to pay a bit more for full 3 days of battery life.
My guess is most people don’t care about going that long off the charger. Biggest selling point is just the not having to care or worry about the battery at all with either ultra. I can put my Ultra 1 on the charger while I get ready each morning and have no issue with battery life ever. But that work with ultra 1 and 2.
Unless you’re someone like me who is a lot outdoor and doesn’t have a charger with all the time when hiking and climbing.
Wow I didn't know that. I was going to save 100 $ and order older watch but now will stay with ultra 2
It's worth it if you don't already have the ultra 1. I will definitely be buying U2 on black friday.
Just depends. Someone would say it be better to just get an ultra 1 and save even more money. Or even a used ultra 1 since it helps up well and the battery is so amazing.
That’s smart to wait for Black Friday
@@TheAppleBiasand some would be wrong, you are still getting an inferior watch compared to the AWU 2.
Tqvm, coming from the apple watch 4, its time for the ultra, in my country, i get equivalent 110 usd off
nice yeah it will be a worthy upgrade, enjoy it.
can you tell your wrist size in cm??
Pretty sure it’s 18-18.5
Kinda disappointed with Ultra 2. I hoped for some new design (colour, new functions, and faster CPU - but it seems they are almost the same). I am not sure about double tap - I will wait and see tests for it - I think it can be a problem sometimes, when I "press" it by accident.
Yeah may be one of those features most people end up disabling. Hard to say at this point.
It's on the ultra 1 with Watch OS 10. I used it for a little while and yes I disabled it. It's gimmicky at best
Faster by quarter of a second
Which is best ultra 1 or ultra 2 ??
Only noticeable difference will be the double tap feature. Which I also made a video on and didn’t fine it too useful. 2 does also have a brighter screen. But not sure how noticeable day to day that will be.
In UK difference between U1 and U2 is 100£,or 200£ if you get an certified refurbished U1 from Apple witch is same as new
I buy Apple refurbished all the time.
At this point we all know we need to an upgrade only in 3/4 years
This was the first year I didn’t upgrade. Usually there is something that I justify it as worth it. I’ll def be buying the Series 10 that ever it is.
Thank you for the review. The shiny new thing, will trick the mind at 1st. but the “50% brightness” is not worth another $800, if you have the Ultra 1. The finger tap is a gimmick…apple even changed the iOS on the watch for it….almost got me😅😂
Glad you enjoyed it. And I agree. I always what the new shiny thing. But the difference just isn’t worth it.
The boggest selling point for me is the increased battery life. Ultra can go up to 60hrs whereas Ultra 2 can go up 72hrs. That’s a full 3 days and a massive half day more than the Ultra 1.
I thought the Ultra 2 no longer allowed Blood/Oxygen levels to be taken (due to infringement on Apple's part). If they've since resolved this, I'd like to know. Also, the increased storage capacity I hear people talk about all the time, stating that you can load more photos or songs onto the watch. I'm curious as to exactly HOW they're loading these songs onto the watch. We're a family of 4 with 4 different Apple Watches... and three of those are under my control (one is my Ultra, and two other watches for my kids under the family management app). Nowhere in Apple's marketing do they make it clear that the only way to load music (or any audio files) onto your managed Apple Watch is if you FIRST have an Apple Music Subscription. Well... call me old school, but I don't need another subscription -- music I like I buy. Unfortunately, even though I've purchased my music through iTunes I can't load it on my kid's watches... simply because I don't also have an Apple Music subscription. Seems like a scam to me.
I will update (downgrade) from Tudor Black Bay 58. Lets see how it works out 💪
Yeah had to look that watch up. Def an upgrade/downgrade scenario. I would love to get back into regular watches but I am so hooked on the Apple Watch now. I just can’t go back. 😂
Honestly I don’t care because I don’t have watch since Apple Watch Series 3 so it’s time to get the ultra 2
Nice. Yeah I am sure some things will speed up with an update eventually hopefully 🤞 I just made the video to inform people. That’s gonna be an amazing upgrade.
I’m coming from a series 5 to awu2.
I’m starting to get used to it
Yeah the size takes a few days to get used to. But what’s really crazy is after a few months going back to a series watch feels insane.
Great video and God bless you too man!!!
God Bless 😎😍✝️🙌
Thanks! Love getting comments like these. Praying you have a great week.
Excellent review! I’ll stick with my original ULTRA!
Thanks. Glad I was able to help.
Unpopular opinion I prefers the way finder watch face 👍
It’s a cool face too. Just nice to always have new options.
Ehhh I’m kinda 50/50 on it I mean the extra storage better chip and brighter screen is nice I’ll be honest tho if T-Mobile had the ultra 1 I probably would’ve got it to save money but glad I got the newest version
I need a new watch my 7 series died, I can’t decide aluminum, stainless or an ultra
I vote stainless of ultra. Those are my favorites.
@@TheAppleBiasand your favourite stainless finish? I want that sapphire crystal screen.
@Kenny_Edmonton yeah currently I just have the ultra. But I plan to buy a stainless model for the series 10. May reason I keep the ultra is battery and just for videos. Flat screen works better to film.
Do you really notice how quick an app opens😂😂😂😂😂😂
Normally no but this is the first processor upgrade in the watch in the last few years. So I was hoping it would have a bit more impact. Main shock to me was the Siri interactions.
They doesn't open at all after a single day tho...
Well not really.🤡I was afraid you’d be asking.
@@efreutel just pulling ur leg mate ❤️
I decided to go ultra 2. Wanted new. Crazy enough Best Buy had the ultra 2s cheaper Thant Ultra 1s which was insane so I couldn’t pass that up! Can’t wait for it to come in on Thursday!
I’d be curious to hear if it has the blood oxygen feature disabled or not.
ruclips.net/video/kMCZbBjeXM4/видео.html
I found an ultra 1 for $530 and a new ultra 2 is $800 is it worth the money
All up to you. Does the tap/pinch feature seem like something you would use? That is gonna be the major difference.
Is the ultra 1 new or used or refurbished?
@@Cap10ndavis used
@@TheAppleBias nah I think
@financefoodplentygaming6803 but the great thing about the ultra is it’s tough and the battery doesn’t degrade anywhere near as fast as a series watch so used ones are basically just like new.
Why is ultra 2 cheaper than ultra 1 on my provider??
Maybe a longer contract lock with the ultra 2.
@@TheAppleBias maybe? I will check. Thanks 🙏
people wondering battery comparison. and you didnt do it
Battery comparison are fairly irrelevant with the watch. Too small of battery and too many factors that could easily change affect the results. Which is why for the last 9 years now Apple has just stuck to saying 18 hours for the series models.
I will update from Series 7 to AWU2.
Yeah based on my results unless you want the pinch when it’s released or the brighter screen there isn’t much of a reason for it.
I’m updating from series 5
@@series25a that should be a good sized update.
honestly, you shouldn't unless you want to.
@@technodroidyt upgrading to an ultra from any series watch is a worthy upgrade if you want the extra battery and are okay with the extra bulk of the watch.
This "update" is appalling.
I was pretty shocked to see the results from my tests.
Ya know, all Apple devices become slower with time, right? Come on bro. SMH!
Huh? But the 1 beat the 2 in a few tests.
@@TheAppleBias I am talking about the 'power up' at the beginning.
100$ difference is it worth it
All up to you. You get 1000 more nits brightness, double tap, offline Siri, HealthKit Siri and maybe 3 days of battery instead of 2.5. But battery is all based on how you use it.
@@TheAppleBias thanks I think I will keep the ultra 2
Ultra is the best cancel the 2.
Haha. 2 has a few things that is worth it for some. I’m ready for the Series X/10 tho.
Bro I am thinking .
Although they do look alike .
I mean I got ultra1 and I really do like it .
What do you think about the AirPods Pro 2 generation and AirPods Pro .
No point even to do the comparison nothing different, a few micro sec faster it’s nothing 😂
But without doing the comparison we wouldn’t have known that. 🤔
Ultra 2 is bullshit worst decision i ever made in my life upgrading and paying and extra £300 dol not make the same mistake seriously
Is that upgrading from ultra 1 or from a different series watch?
Too late. Haha😂
Too late as in you already bought the ultra 2?
@@TheAppleBias yep
@Oharsh0928 there is always that 14 day Apple return policy. 😁
I also had a new update watchOS 10.0.1 today
@Oharsh0928 yeah I got it too but still no pinch. Think it’s coming in 10.1 whenever that is.
Scam
From what I am hearing the biggest update to the chip is the GPU. So it should have better fluid animation and probably a tap better battery life cause usually chips get more efficient. Apple just doesn’t like going beyond what they originally said with battery life they still say the series watch gets 18 hour even tho it can easily go over 24 for most people. But the original ultra discounted is still the better deal in my opinion.
Crap
??
“Don’t waste your money”…. but everything is much faster…..bad title
When did I say everything is much faster. Booting was a bit faster and the action was a little faster but the - beat the 2 on a few things. Did you watch the wrong video?
Don't waste your time and your money buying an Ultra, if what you want is a smart watch for athletes who take sports seriously, what you have to buy is a Polar or a Garmin Fenix 7X solar sapphire, Garmin has a very large variety on smart watches (really smart watches, not fancy watches like Apple ones
But if you want the best most rounded watch go with the Apple Watch. It can do so much more than any watch on the market which is why it’s number 1
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
Child, start studying and finish your homework so you can go out and play with the other children.
I think most people buy it’s for its more an Apple eco system
Good advice especially if you guarantee the wearer never suffers a serious fall or a head-on collision, in which case the Ultra wins,correct?
