Thanks for the tips. Bought my first smartwatch and I chose the Series 9. I'm a senior and am impressed with all these watches can do. Learning everyday.😊

[gibranquintero]

there is so many videos out there making pointless comparisons. Thank you for the short and very informative video on helping us make a decision, specially from the point of view of someone who ACTUALLY owns the watches and is using them for more than talking to siri.

I really appreciate your professionalism and ability to break down a confusing subject..

I've been rocking a series3 for years.. Considering this is an everyday wearable, i sprung for the Ultra 2. I like the aesthetic. I also preordered the 15 pro max since ive been using an 11 pro for a while now.

EDIT: Couple weeks in to using the Ultra 2 and the 15 pro max. I love both of them. The Ultra 2 is surprisingly light on the wrist and the charge lasts for days. it is awesome.

EDIT 2: Couple months into it. Love everything about the watch. I don't think I could ever go back to something else. This thing is always on my wrist and I've gotten a bunch of compliments for it.

The flat screen of the Ultra cuts down on distracting reflections you see on the curved bezel edges of the 9.

Excellent review. I have the Apple Watch 5 and thought I needed the Ultra.because of durability and features. Your comparison correcty points out that they are 95% the same. I don't need extra batterylife and I have never scratched my Apple Watch 5. I will upgrade to the 9. Thank You

I went from a series 4 to a series 9 and I’m glad I waited so long because it feels like a real upgrade. Always on Display is my favourite, but the bigger display, snappier performance, double tap have been great too.

Upgrading from SE 1st gen. So excited to get the ultra 2 tommorow especially because I technically got it for free using Amex points. Great content as always

[steeverreno]

VERY GOOD ANALYSIS. ESPECIALLY LIKED THE PART ABOUT SLIDING AROUND ON THE WRIST. IN DEPTH.

[wisemiik]

Isn’t it crazy how battery life is so important to people and Apple knows that they charge $400 extra for a watch that does almost exact same things as the $400 cheaper one except the battery life is better.

[garrett]

Smartest move in my opinion is to buy a lightly used or refurbished Ultra 1. 98% of the features for a decent price now. The batteries on those hold up really well too

[dunkindan]

Coming from a series 5 this will be a good upgrade

[Mhosborn]

I've still got the Ultra 2 on my wish list. For me, the biggest advantage is the superior battery life. I like to play golf and use an app that gives me distances. Using my Series 5, I'd have to recharge my watch immediately after a round, as the use of GPS drains the battery pretty quickly, so the Ultra 2 would address that shortcoming.

[Questionablexfun]

Battery life really is the thing they need to work on with all these watches. I sprung for one for my now teen (they were about 11 when I got one for them to walk the 3 blocks to school up the road allowing me having peace of mind in case they ever had an emergency while also giving them independence). The battery would die way before the day was over every time - and this was with my kid hardly using it for more than looking at the time 😢..

[XdBGzStRC]

You were clear and understandable as always. Your videos are very helpful Des. Well done. I personally like the AWU2.

[anthonycraig]

This is a great, probably the best review I’ve seen on the subject.

[cocoi]

I just went from a series 1 to a series 9 so I can totally see the new updates haha

[bigjimstream]

I'm keeping my series 5. It looks identical to the 9 and with no noticeable lag for any of the features. Thanks for the vid!

[JimKnight-xy]

Biggest thing for me upgrading over the 4 was the storage space love that the series 9 can now actually hold all of my 2000 songs and not just 800 or so

[caoimhinog]

Thanks so much for the comparison. I settled on the Ultra 2.
