I used an Apple Watch Ultra as my ONLY device! Here's what happened.

I ditched my iPhone and used the Apple Watch Ultra as my ONLY device. Here are the results!

Many people wanted me to try this test again with the Apple Watch Ultra this time - so here it is! Do you think it’s worth the money? ⌚️🔋💵

I do not have an Ultra, but I have heard from many people that the biggest drain on the battery was the constant search for cellular signal. If you live in an area with more reliable coverage the battery lasts way way longer.

Using an all white background watch face probably eat an additional 10% battery - OLED displays consumes no power if the pixels are off…

I do many similar things as was detailed in this video however, I get much better battery life with only having to charge my Ultra about 3 times per week. Many times at the end of day one, my battery level is somewhere in the 70% range. So I am amazed that this video shows such a fast amount of battery drain.

Nobody talking about him using his ipad even tho he said «ONLY DEVICE»

A few times in your video you wanted to zoom in (QR code for Amazon return, photo) and said you can't. You CAN and I do it all the time. Double-tap with 2 fingers and you can also move around with those two fingers. Also, upon the first 2x tap you keep your fingers on the display and move them in or out to change the zoom level. Same thing as you can do on the iPhone.

Enable it via the Accessibility menu (on the watch itself of using the Watch app on your iPhone).

I think your signal strength was the battery drainer. Another YouTuber started at 80% and went the whole day in NYC. I think he arrived home with a bit to spare.

What most amazed me was that you got up at 9AM! Nice video, though. Disappointing the battery waned so quickly. My Ultra arrives in a week.

I can go two days without charging pretty easily. This is with roughly 4 hrs of workouts, a lot of messages, some phone calls, etc. Must be the cell signal hunting that is killing it for you.

Why tf does he have to swap band to get into the shower? Like he can’t just take the watch off and shower without wearing it???

[TheRTM]

A lot of people forget to completely turn of the wifi on the watch when they leave the house, doing so will greatly improve battery life. By the end of the day (bedtime 10pm ) I have 45% remaining

Having a drive-thru ATM is the most american thing ever.

Ultra living with Tesla, Apple Watch, and Macbook!

Love to see this back! Last time was really cool-even cooler this time

What the Vacuum cleaner you are using? Are you satisfied? Interesting the model. TNKS

[_reckless_]

You should really keep this series of Apple Watch Day in the Life videos up. I never liked day in the life stuff till I saw your previous video on the Apple Watch. I absolutely loved that video and am so glad you revisited this theme. Please make more of these using other Apple Watches. I'd watch them in a heartbeat ❤

[magdykin]

Great video! For your tesla did you had to use your key card or there is a way to register your apple watch as a phone key?

[duongel]

The charging time seems very odd. When I charge my Apple Watch Ultra in the morning while I‘m in the bathroom for 10 minutes, I got from 46% to 59% And why don‘t you use WiFi at home? Dealing with bad signal strength also kills the battery very fast.

[Whatmobiledeal]

That battery performance is fairly disappointing. The only caveat I guess for you was the poor signal pickup in your home which would no doubt use more battery as it would be constantly searching for reception.

I would say, give it three maybe four more years and the Apple Watch will be a standalone device where you won’t need the iPhone anymore. Right now the Apple Watch is just a convenient extension of your phone. It’s meant to be a complement to your phone I believe.
