Apple Watch Series 10 VS Ultra 2 - DON'T BE FOOLED!

Apple just announced the new Apple Watch Series 10 with a larger display, a thinner design, and a bunch of new features like the ability to play music or podcasts through the built in speakers. However, with Apple not updating the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is this watch still worth it, or should you just skip it for the series 10 despite the weaker battery life...

These comparisons are so necessary because we know nothing about the world of technology but now do you think you can make one about wallets?

Blood oxygen measurement is only restricted in the USA. Other countries still have it.

As a 54-year-old man who has had sleep apnea diagnosed for over 18 years. I think this is a fantastic upgrade. I literally did not know I had it until I went and got tested. I stopped breathing over 76 times in a four hour period and the longest time was 96 seconds! If you have this condition, do not screw around get it diagnosed. And get medical care. It literally will save your life.

Great comparison of the Ultra and Series 10.
Ultra 2 has TWICE the battery life of Series 10! And on days when I’m active even for an hour or two, at the end of the day, the Ulta battery is mostly depleted, so the Series 10 would be dead.

Why did they have to make it shiny😢 matte black was the move

As someone who runs and sweats a lot, the lack of additional buttons is a huge problem with the Apple watches in general. If they could add the action button to all Apple watches and perhaps a 2nd action button to the Ultra, they really could eat into the sports watch market. I can't count how many times I struggle to use the touch screen and it completely ignores me since my fingers are covered in sweat/water.

3:15 - it is a big deal.
Why use a material that scratches do easily. It pisses me off

I got that ultra 2 about 3 months ago. And I got to be honest. I love this watch. Been durable. Great battery life and looks so good on the wrist. And lastly the features are great. And fast charging can’t go wrong.

Good point on the price, but I do not want a scratched up watch! I currently have the Ultra version 1.

While the Ultra 2 doesn’t have the S10, I’m hard pressed to believe the S10 is hardly anything special. Apple showed zero numbers when talking about the Series 10’s new SIP. Instead, if you listen to their wording, they talked about how the S10 had to be engineered to fit in the Series 10’s new chassis. What I believe is the S10 is exactly the same as the S9 in terms of raw performance. But because it had to be physically different and re-engineered, they called it the S10.

To me, the Ultra 2’s the way to go. You get the most durable device, cellular service, a handful of exclusive features, and it looks great. All at a fixed price. If you did a souped up Series 10 with titanium and the new link bracelet, it’s actually more expensive than getting the Ultra 2 with the new titanium Milanese loop!

I have a series 7 41mm and have been wanting a bigger Apple Watch for quite awhile, so today was first time I ordered something on the day it was announced. I got the 46mm aluminum not only because its bigger, but thinner too is a plus to me. The faster charging will be nice and better speaker. I started to buy the titanium watch but totalled with AppleCare it was too expensive for me so I switched to the aluminum. I think this will be worth the wait.

That black ultra 2 is beautiful. As much as I want it, I’ll stick with my natural titanium ultra 2 and upgrade it next year with a new color and hopefully hardware updates.

I believe the blood oxygen app still comes on the 10 if you are outside the US

[supupedskyline]

I did the same thing after the announcement... trading in my Ultra 1 for the S10. Makes the most sense for me and honestly I'm done having the weight on my wrist.

[timbukstu]

My Apple watch 7 is charging right now. Would love a 10. Or an Ultra 3.

[axisgirlvaughn]

I have small wrist and when I tried on the Ultra the Apple employee said, “It looks like you are wearing a TV set”. True!

I’m wondering if they are repeating their iPhone 7 Plus strategy. They released a new color (Jet black) without many new features and then the next year released the iPhone X.

Sleep Apnea can lead to vision problems called Keratoconus as well. This manifests itself as irregularities in the surface of the cornea. Sleep apnea and being overweight are correlated so if you lose weight your sleep apnea may resolve itself and lead to the keratoconus resolving as well.

[LejonetJanne]

Blood oxygen limitations is only for US. Other regions still has the hw feature as before and sw supports it.

The ultra would suit me better. I need the extended time, and 18 hours on the ten just doesn’t do it! The battery life is what has held me back from, wearing an Apple Watch. I currently use the Garmin 3 sapphire watch which give me ten days battery time.
