yall rich Youtubers can just switch easily. Us normal folks who paid $800 for the Ultra aint switching, LOL

[TechnoZen]

I couldn't do it. Series 10 was a beauty and comfy but I need my ultra faces and battery life convenience. Went Black Ultra 2

[jeromescott]

I will never purchase another Apple Watch without a sapphire display. I scratched the screen on an Apple Watch Series 2 in a weekend of helping someone move. Since switching to the sapphire screen, not a single scratch on an Apple Watch since then.

So in that case you are paying the same amount for the Series 10 or the Ultra. The action button and battery life alone will keep me from going with a Series 10. I also like the more rugged look of the Ultra.

6:40 There is a tougher version of the normal Apple Watch - the titanium version with sapphire display. Granted that brings the cost up to par with the ultra but if you want the slimmer design along with toughness it’s a nice compromise.

I had the series 7 in stainless steel and after 3 years banging it about daily the screen was flawless and the body only showed very minor micro scratches

Currently I have both the series 10 and the ultra 2 and am debating keeping both just to have different styles to wear even though I know objectively that’s a waste of money lol

The Titanium Slate series 10 is really nice! I switch from the ultra 2 to series 10. The battery isn't an issue to me. both get charged every day for me. I don't miss the look of the ultra, i hated it. 6:35 Titanium Series 10

It's all about the battery life for me, because I use the cellular function a lot (I often leave my iPhone at home).

[esthereley]

I've never scratched my watch face (and I am rocking the Series 6 basic aluminium). I find wearing my watch on my non-dominant hand (left for me as a righty) means I don't scratch it. I've never made a special effort and wear it every day.

Ultra 1 is still more than enough honestly

[The.JZA.]

I’m using the Ultra 1st gen and I’m not going back to a normal Apple Watch. It’s durable, it has a sapphire screen, it has the modular ultra watch face and it has double the battery life of the series 10. Also yes the series 10 charges from 0-80% in 30 mins compared to 60 mins for the ultra but the ultras battery life lasts twice as long so the actual number of hours of use per minute of charge is basically the same. I don’t find it bulky but I am 6’4” with 185mm wrists so it feels perfect for me. I’m just holding out until the Ultra 3 comes out.

I currently have the Apple Watch Ultra 1 and I'm upgrading to the Apple Watch Series 10 next week.
My Ultra 1 is at 90% battery life and I prefer to switch to the series 10 because it's thinner and lighter than the Ultra and, like you, I'm not an adventurer, so I don't need advanced GPS.

[Augusto]

6:42 they made a titanium watch that isn’t Ulta and it has a sapphire crystal display. Why not get that one?

[newsnetworkz]

Don't regret when Ultra 3 comes out and switch back again 😂

Team ultra until they fix the battery life on the regular one.  If you use lte regularly, you notice it after you’ve owned the watch 1.5-2 years when you have to decide between putting your watch in airplane mode for most of the day, or having it die in your lunch break. Don’t even get me started with including sleep tracking and workouts with battery drain. However, if you never plan to use lte, the regular one is fine and will at least die after you get home most days, assuming you have no social life and get in early.

I wish they kept the same thickness and still put in the more efficient s10 chip since it is clearly surviving on a smaller battery than last year. I wonder if the battery life would have approached the ultra if they put the series 10 innards into a series 9 body and filled the extra space with battery…

[bradsheffield]

Upgraded from series 7 went to series 10 and had it for a few days. Love it and for me it was mainly due to the battery of my old watch not lasting long enough. This watch is faster at charging and I do love how you can listen to music and Podcasts without AirPods or phone. Jet black is really sweet. I do agree with you that I am scared of scratches and dings.

[JimmyHummer]

The main value prop for getting the Ultra is battery life. In many instances I can now leave my iPhone at home or in the car. Additionally, keeping my older (7 series) watch allows me the lighter option for sleep tracking.. With IOS 18 the iPhone will auto select the watch I’m wearing.

[dleon]

Your logic makes sense and although I agree with a lot of what you say I still like the long battery life and how big it is. I like how rugged it looks even if I just hike and walk. love your content!

[Ashkevron]

For me the flat screen on the ultra 2 is perfect. When they brought in the bigger screen before the Ultra, it just highlighted the reflective curve of the edge. I found that annoying.

[ScottPigeon]

I’ll stick with Timex and Casio with their 10 year batteries. Though I’ll admit, when I had to use my personal phone for work in a loud warehouse, vibrations on my wrist was handy.

Finally someone told the truth about using ultra Watch… Awesome video dude!
I know and seen many people including YouTubers who buy this Ultra just cause it’s the top end Apple Watch but not use a single feature of Ultra.. They just give an excuse of long battery life.
Ultra is & was designed for extreme athletics & athletes in mind..
For 99.9% of people Apple Watch is way super sufficient to do everything including hitting the gym, workouts, running, hiking/trekking on weekends, even swimming for couple of days every week and lot more activities..
Unless someone is an athlete doing extreme mountaineering or regular scuba divers or any other extreme sports, Ultra isn’t needed at all..
Kudos to this video! I can share this video to someone wearing ultra watch now 😉🤪

I agree with everything you said. I switched back to the 10 titanium from the Ultra. The things I miss from not having the Ultra are the same as yours plus the brightness of the display. Don’t miss lugging the Ultra around on my wrist!
