    I bought the Apple Watch Ultra when it first came out. I have been using it every day since then and have some opinions on whether I would recommend it or if I would rather get a Series 8.
    The Apple Watch Ultra comes with a lot of new features including a brand-new design, a bigger display, better battery life, and more. But, I think a lot of people like me are not planning on using some of the new fitness features and are wondering if it is still worth getting.
    This is my unbiased opinion of if you should get the Apple Watch Ultra for non-fitness reasons.

      I think so, I'm getting a 14 pro max next week, and apple watch ultra, I'm just going to make payments on it. I can afford it.
      I'm excited for it , I did have a apple watch series 6 45mm in 2021 I also had I phone 12 pro max it felt too delicate and not good battery life.
      But seriously I have a android now, and switching back to apple .

      I chose no, and went for a matte black Apple Watch 8, but in the next gen, I might replace my phone and Watch 8 for an Ultra 2... I am intrigued by using a watch as my only phone, and reducing the number of devices I carry.

      @@MorningNapalm I would hope you’re using your current watch to answer/make phone calls as a trial. The Ultra is a bit louder but I would think any lengthy conversation would be difficult and without any semblance of privacy. I wear hearing aides and connect my phone to them with blue tooth. The watch won’t do that but your watch will connect to Apple ear buds. I think. If you wear Apple ear buds all the time, it might work.

    Just retired my Series 0 yesterday for one of these (purchased in June of 2015, back when you could only buy them at an Apple store). Oddly it still works perfectly and looks nearly new although I've worn it for almost 8 years. Since then I have given Apple watches to friends as gifts, finally the time came for me to get myself something...and this is what I bought myself. So far A+.

    This is the second long-term review I’ve seen recently that is pretty much mirrors my experience. At 77, I walk my 2 miles daily and thoroughly enjoy the bright screen that I can see in bright sunlight. Secondly, I have no concern over battery before it goes on the charger nightly. If I get up before 6am and go to bed after midnight, I know I can wear this watch without any concern whether it will be out of battery. The orange button on the side merely saves me one step in selecting my Outside Walk exercise mode. I do quibble with folks who focus on ‘cost’ since it is fifty dollars more than the Series 8 I would have purchased and the same fifty dollars more than the Series 5 I purchased when it came out and replaced with this watch. I think trying to compare the cost with those less expensive models is the wrong approach because I would think those lesser costing watches were purchased because of the price rather than functionality and capability. The aluminum non-cellular models are less than half this watches price. If price is your limiter then this is not your watch. Neither is a $10,000 Rolex.

    Thanks for the review. I received the watch yesterday and apart from all the good points you mentioned, it has one huge benefit - my sleeve no longer cover the watch! with my series 7, my sleeve always covered the watch due to the round shape, and I had to constantly pool the sleeve up.

    I got the Ultra, I had the Watch 7 and it got a big scratch on the glass. I have a Seiko titanium watch and the sapphire glass does not have a scratch on it. I liked the look of the flush sapphire glass on the Ultra.
    I’m not that physical but I try snd ride a bike for 40 minutes a day.
    I think the Ultra battery will last up to two days without charging compared to the version 7 watch which ran low by the evening.
    I’m interested in using the map feature on the WatchOS 10.
    Yah, not keen on the orange button, mine sets a waypoint, like a MOB function.
    Funny thing is I never use the other button, I just press the crown.
    I had no choice in the supplied band except for colour, I preferred the woven cloth band, whatever it’s called and I bought another cloth band at enourmous expense AUD$150! I agonised over the decision for months, I like the idea of throwing the band into the wash. I wish Apple give you a better choice of the band when you initially buy the watch.

  • @james11h
    @james11h Год назад +5

    Mileage definitely varies on the battery life. I charge to 90% before sleeping, sleep track, do a 30-60 min workout, and have it on my wrist for 17 waking hours (interacting with it 3-5 times an hour for messages, apps, etc). I use 50-70% battery life depending if I use cellular/music or not. So as a heavy user, its 1.5 day battery. But with my Series 6, I had to charge 2-3 times a day for the same function. So it’s worth it for me.

    I just bought the AW Ultra. Upgraded from AW gen4, so it was a reasonable jump. The price in Denmark, where I live, is 1130 dollars. I don´t think it´s anywhere near worth it but still a nice upgrade. My favourite points are the better and bigger screen. The new look is much nicer. And the titanium casing and saphire glass gives a great feeling of durability.

      About the same price in the UK. Apple products appear to be aimed at the US market with most of the rest of the world paying significantly more making them less appealing. To note, few other manufacturers apply this same approach to pricing.. shame.

    • @SgtSlapmaster
      @SgtSlapmaster Год назад

      Not that I’m defending Apple’s pricing because it’s clearly very expensive, but it should be noted that the cost of goods in a country and its currency is generally tied to the cost of living and earning there.
      That is to say, it might seem like you’re paying a lot more than an American, but what you earn for a living and how much things cost in your country might translate to similar buying power in real terms.
      So you often see this ‘it’s more in the UK’ with products, which can be down to import costs etc (lol brexit), but is often also just down to differences in cost of living.

    I consider upgrading to Garmin Tactix from my AW series 4, as it offers offline mapping and huge battery life. But then I start to think about all those little perks that come with an AW (instant Apple Pay, MacBook auto unlock, menu design and built in apps, Nomad charging accessories that fit my room perfectly, focus settings etc) and it stops me from dropping AW product line. I am still not sold on 3-4 days battery life, but definitely will keep an eye on the AW Ultra line. With next iterations it promises to become a perfect watch for Apple ecosystem user with a casual/adventure lifestyle. Great video BTW, greetings from Ukraine!

I wear it to track my sleep, then for my workout and playing music over BT headphones. So battery life is what’s selling it for me. I know if I would get the series 8 I wouldn’t get as much battery time. Thanks for your review!

    Well I bought mine maybe 2 weeks ago. This is my first proper smart watch and I love it. I've had iPhones for a while now and I wanted an Apple Watch, but what I hated is that every single watch looked the same. So I said, when they change the design I'm getting it right away. And I'm glad I did, I'll be wearing it for some time so I don't think price is too big of an issue, and everybody notices the Ultra. Everyone says it looks really cool and rugged and they prefer it over the regular Series #. I'm not some crazy fitness person but I like tracking my sleep, my heart rate and my steps, everything else is kind of secondary but I don't mind having it. As I said, the only downside is the price but think about how much you'll wear that watch, I know for sure it will be on my wrist at least 355 out of 365 days a year. Cheers

    I’m still stuck on of I should buy one or another Garmin. The Garmins are fantastic but the new model is $1999 vs $1500 for the ultra. The Garmin is by far the superior watch for what I use them for (back country hiking navigation) because the battery can last weeks rather than a few days like the Apple Watch. However when we are talking about 2k for a watch it starts to not feel worth the money as it doesn’t do half the things the Apple Watch does. Such a hard decision to make! I love the look of the ultra however I wish you could opt for a different colour button! Orange was a strange choice

    I upgraded from a 6 to an 8 and really stressed over the decision vs the ultra and after a couple months, I regret not just spending more for the Ultra after having talked to coworkers who have ultras. The battery life and screen brightness alone look like they are worth the extra price and I also think the LTE connection (though I realize not an ultra exclusive feature) would be nice as my watch will frequently just not connect to any services despite being in my house and on Wifi. It acts like if it's not within bluetooth range of my phone, I don't get calls, messages, notifications or anything. Very frustrating and something I have dealt with on my 5, 6 and now 8.

I am trying to hold off on the aw ultra as maybe they will release another color on its next generation or maybe Apple will redesign the series watches and add space black again but right now the only watch in space black is the Hermes edition which I do not think are worth the cost but yolo... haha.

    I call bs when people say they get 3 or more days out of the ultra with a fair bit of use unless micro charges to top up is done because mine is 5 days old & I get through a day & a night then most of the next day if I’m lucky & I send a handful of texts & 2-3 calls & use it to control my podcasts or music sometimes so I don’t use it a lot & I’m on 38% at the moment so unless micro charges are made it’s bs in my opinion I don’t use low power mode

    I think when people go on about weight, a lot of metal watches can be so much heavier than a Apple Watch. I understand they might say it’s to heavy to train in but I’m sure it won’t make much difference than the lighter Apple Watch 🤔

    I like the #AppleWatchUltra not so much for its design, but the durability and battery life. I still gravitate to the sleekness of the Series 7/8.
    I think the *titanium* construction was a good choice by Apple. It’s lighter and seems more scratch resistant than stainless steel. I’ve had regular watches with stainless steel, and most of them are scuffed.
    The great thing about it is that all the previous 42 mm (+and up) watch bands still fits.
    You can even save even more battery life if you turn-off Background App Refresh under Settings (or just select the Apps that you use frequently).

    Battery on mine deteriorated already instead 3 I get 2 days of use. Maybe this is caused by software update as I did not change my habits how I use my watch. If you are about to buy this watch for battery life then be prepared that at some point battery will wear off. Replacing battery in this watch in UK is a whooping £109. You have said you got 4 days of battery life out of your Watch without using power safe mode. Assuming you’ve used your watch on a daily basis, do not believe this is possible.
    This watch is still worth to buy and the main reason is durability look and feel rather than features.

    Just what I wanted to hear. I don't think this product is honestly meant for high level athletes, they will probably stick with a Garmin Fenix or something like that, but for people who uses the Apple ecosystem and currently has an older Apple Watch, they know that battery life is really one of the bigger compromises, and also durability, one fall and fixing it is so expensive that you will probably end up getting a new one or getting used to an ugly plastic case, killing the charm of the look. Probably a series 7 with a sturdy case is not slimmer than an Ultra. In that situation you know if you get a sturdier Apple Watch with double battery life or more, you can count on keeping it for a long time as the support is really good, you still can get the latest WatchOS on a series 4. I think most people will be in that situation and if able to afford the beefier price tag, they know it will pay for itself on durability and the peace of mind of not having an extremely delicate piece on their wrist, but a sturdy piece of tech that will be able to bear with them for a long time. And no ugly plastic case. Great and intelligent review.
