After my wife and I owned several different series of the aluminum Apple Watch with ion glass, we have NOT found them to be very resistant to scratches at all. In fact, one of the reasons why we carried Apple Care+ on our watches was because you received essentially a new Apple Watch with a new scratch free screen when getting a new battery. I finally gave up on ion glass Apple Watches and now own an Ultra II with its sapphire crystal. After 1 year of daily use, absolutely no scratches whatsoever! 🙌🙌🙌

Once again, my go to YouTuber for anything sports tech related, so in-depth and a great review. Thanks.

i think this is the first footage i see of the dark green alpine loop and it reassures me in my pre-order. looks nice (especially with the black metal)

I created a Siri shortcut to start a work out.
I push the crown and say “going for a walk” and it starts an outside walk. This is a way to get around not having an action button

i tried out the U2 on my wrist the other day and it just looked so comically big... and i walked into the store prepared to buy the U2! ended up getting a standard 10, very happy overall

I’ve tried both the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Black) and the Series 10 in gold titanium. I really wanted to love the Ultra 2, especially since I used the titanium version as my daily watch. However, I realized the main reason I switched to the Ultra 2 was for its larger display. Now, with the Series 10 offering an even bigger screen, a slimmer profile, and being much lighter, it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a brick. So, I decided to return the Ultra 2. The thinner design and bigger display were game-changers, plus I can finally track my sleep since it’s so lightweight. I think the Ultra 2 is really meant for the top 1% of Apple users who do a lot of trekking and diving. Even then, a lighter watch might make those activities easier.

Jesus, you are insanely detailed. Way better than these other wannabe tech-hacks on YouTube. Thank you 🤝.

I've just gone from the Ultra to the 10 and it feels so much thinner and lighter. No difference in screen size obviously and I'm finding the double tap feature very useful and it's a lot faster to charge. It does feel a touch faster and more responsive too

Love your videos. You talk fast, but it makes your videos a reasonable length versus the long 40 minutes. And you get all the information in, without a lot of fluff and banter, like so many YouTubers.

Great review as always! A couple of points I'd like to point out...

1) The off angle brightness of the Watch 10 would be difficult to measure against the Ultra 2 due to the Ultra 2 having an extra 1, 000nits of brightness.
2) The data fields on workouts...whilst technically, the Watch 10 has a physically larger display, it actually has a lower resolution than the Ultra 2. This makes the on-screen images larger, therefore it may not actually support more data fields comfortably.
3) Battery charging speeds - the Watch 10 has a physically smaller battery so yes, it will charge to 80% quicker than the ultra, but it's 80% capacity is probably half the size of the Ultra 2's 80%.

Thanks for the video. I like that "buy the watch you need now" part. Sometimes others and I get to wrapped up on what could be in the future, more is loss by indecision than wrong decision.

[lrosengreen]

The more I learn, the harder it's becoming to decide between these two watches.

[pianoislife]

This is the video I've been looking for. Thanks for taking the time to put all this together!

[TallysVids]

One thing I did notice on the side by side clips between the Series 10 and Ultra 2 is just how much glare/reflection you get on the curved edges/sides when compared to the Ultra 2 flat screen. In my opinion the flat screen of the Ultra 2 looks superior to the Series 10 in this respect. I also found that the flat screen looked more fresh and more modern compared to the curved edges that we have had since day 1 of the Apple Watches (that was one of the several advantages I found when deciding to get the Ultra). Great video by the way 👍

[marcellostraps]

The glossy black series 10 in the video collected just as many finger prints as I thought it would.

[AntivistX]

Less susceptible to scratches doesn’t mean less noticeable scratches.

Although the natural titanium scratches easier the scratches are harder to notice.

[dennerik]

Thanks for the speaker volume comparison.

I rewatched the Apple event and paid close attention when they announced the S10 SIP. They didn't actually say anything was new. They just listed off a bunch of features that already exist. My bet is that the S10 SIP is identical to the S9 except for the display controller which controls the new low power OLED. That's why they didn't put the S10 SIP in the Ultra 2 because it doesn't have the new low power OLED. Next year they will announce the S11 SIP and I HOPE that they make a 3nm SIP for improved efficiency and maybe add in some of that Siri 2.0 goodness but based on Apples history of slow SIP updates for the Apple Watch, it's a safe bet that they will reuse the exact same CPU, GPU and Neural engine next year and rename it the S11. I'm rocking the Ultra 1 and still love it but I am looking forward to getting the Ultra 3 with hopefully a longer battery life and faster Siri. Just ordered the titanium Milanese loop as well which I will hopefully get tomorrow or maybe Monday.

loved how you threw a joke in there as #50 haha at 15:13

You can bypass the 3 second workout countdown by tapping the screen to start a workout.
