The Apple Watch Ultra After 300 Days

It's been over 300 days since I picked up the Apple Watch Ultra and I figured it'd be nice to circle back and talk about how this smart watch is holding up and if it's something I'd recommend you pick up.

Yes please on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 prediction video!

I held back on getting the ultra because I thought it’d be too big for my wrists (150mm, quite small) - but I tried it on in-store last week and was surprised that I liked it!

I’ve heard a couple things about the new ultra coming out next month:
- black/dark colour option
- faster processor using a smaller transistor size, which would lead to efficiency gains and even better battery life :)

The editing on this video is so amazing! Pure joy to watch

Your production quality is amazing! I’m glad I found your channel

Been using a AW6 for running - totally livable and works well. With riding, looking at my wrist is challenging (plus battery life on long rides), broke down and picked up a used Wahoo Roam. I’m guessing knowing Apple they’ll be a AW Ultra refresh in September. Thanks for the updates! As anything with Apple - avoid the first one 😁

Wow! Impressive directing and editing! Hope your channel gets more views.

After 296 days, my Watch Ultra is still in pristine condition and I never regretted buying it. Can’t wait for watchOS 10.
Wearing it with Ocean Band yellow.

Great video, I love my AW Ultra. I cycle & Run and for these sports it’s been great. It lasts through a full marathon and 400 km bike rides. However if you are an ultra runner/long distance athlete, then I could totally see the merit in going with a device that’s got a week’s worth of battery life.

AWU 2 prediction video: yes please!

Thanks for the review… I’m looking at an upgrade from my Apple Watch 6, but I’m noticed the weight difference to the Apple Watch 10 is double for the Apple Watch Ultra… I’m into cross triathlon and branching out to Ironman triathlon training and racing. Did you find the Ultra heavy… my Apple Watch 6, was a big jump up in weight from my old Garmin and became uncomfortable on longer bumpy roads and trails.

I really like my ultra. I wish apple would add maps to the workout app and then select that as one of the screens that could be accessed during a workout. That’s an easy software fix, but don’t know if they’ll do it.

Been enjoying my Apple Watch Ultra with the Alpine loop. More band color options would be nice.

Great videos, I just stumbled on your channel . I wanted to ask you what is the best watch for navigating . I’m not that much into data like heartrate etc . I do mountain biking like trail and downhill riding, and my I phone with maps or trail forks is not that accurate when I’m at the trail for the first time and I don’t know directions

I think they will add a glucometer / blood sugar reading that would make it worth the wait. Plus the aforementioned color change and maybe slightly thinner with the same battery life and size screen.

Still love my ultra after 300 odd days - no regrets. It’ll be interesting to see if Apple announces a redesign in Sep. Only reason to do so would be to house a bigger battery but I think that’s unlikely.

I must ask, what’s your background with video editing? Self-taught? Or did you go to school for it? Do it for a career?

Either way, it’s the best!

I have an apple watch series 4 and I want to upgrade to a newer one
Question do you think is better to go with the ultra 2 or get the ultra 1 for a way better price?
And if you think buying applecare+ is the way to go? Or is it strong enough to take the risk?

[FilipeZancul]

Would be nice to see an Apple Watch 2 prediction video 👍🏼

[charlescarbonate]

Amazing video, I’ve been using an AWUltra for the past 3 months and loved it with both outback camping and triathlons. I am curious tho if anyone has recommendations on great running/biking headphones?

[EdvardHolst]

The Ultra looks to hold up well, but the Garmin almost looks better scratched up than in mint condition. Not sure the same could be said about the Ultra.

[mejlgaardbliddal]

I Will only consider upgrading my series 6 to an ultra if the following becomes true. One the from phone two computer transfer speed does not improve significantly on the 15 pro models of the iPhone and the Ultra and regular Apple Watch gets a more power efficient SOC that improves battery life. Does Apple increase the data transfer speed significantly on the 15 pro max then I will be buying that and upgrade my Apple Watch next year. If not my purchasing decision will be based on wether or not the battery life gets improved.
