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!

[chiranjeevbakshi]

Wow, loved it man..also never thought that these many things can be done on watch alone ❤️

[ChristinaEileen]

I love this so much! I enjoyed seeing your day sm 🥰also yay for Cica im glad you like it!!!

[marcsteiner]

I am impressed by the voice to text and how easy it is to see the text.

Dumb question, but how do you replace the phone? Do you change the eSIM with the provider? Thanks.

[RolandKoller]

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.

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....

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

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! 😀

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?

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.

Can u use Apple CarPlay from an Apple Watch? I don’t think so but I’ve also never seen a YouTube video where they mention if it can or cannot?

[claravanholst]

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 🤗

[MrMisuma]

Just got mine today - My very first Apple watch (Ultra).

[e.s.]

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 !!.
