I Ditched My Whoop and Garmin Fenix for the Apple Watch Ultra

As a CrossFit athlete, I know how important it is to have a reliable and accurate fitness tracker that can keep up with my workouts. That's why I've switched to the Apple Watch Ultra, and in this video, I'll show you why.

In this video, I'll demonstrate how I use the Apple Watch Ultra to track my training, including heart rate, calories, sleep, and more. I'll also explain why I decided to let go of my other devices, the Whoop and Garmin Fenix 6 Watch, and how the Apple Watch Ultra has streamlined tracking. With its advanced features, intuitive interface, and sleek design, it's the only device you'll need to maximize your performance and track your progress.

I have watched so many reviews on this and none of them came close in delivering the amount of value/ min as this one. Great content Jason, really appreciate the no fluff approach you are took on this one.

[KingPeachful]

Jason, a tip you can switch the orientation of the Apple watch so the buttons are facing up your forearm. I did this to stop activating the watch on my motorcycle and at the gym.
Great content. Keep it up!

[sebastienhertling]

Hello Jason. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I look forward to them every Time. Your journey is inspiring. I have just started my first steps in a crossfit box and I realise how badly my physical condition was (with a lot of difficulty doing even a single pull-up). But strangely I loved it^^
I hope to see you win this year’s crossfit game. Thanks again.
Best
Sébastien

The best description I’ve heard
The Apple Watch watch ultra is more of a smart watch, than the garmin is a phone.

[neiluk]

I went the other way from an Apple Watch to a Garmin Epix 2. For me there is no comparison as a fitness device the Garmin blows the Apple Watch out of the water, especially in terms of running and all the training data you get from it. I also got sick of charging the watch every day or two with the Epix in gesture mode I get about 10 days of battery life. The Apple Watch is also limited in terms of the connectivity, it will pair with a bluetooth heart rate strap but that is about it.

[jeffhallman]

Great video! Do you wear a screen protector? Any issues with scratches?

[spud]

I love hearing about people that have reached this same conclusion. Apple watch is the way.

[freddymiguelponce]

This is the video that i needed! WOW! Perfect. Thank you for that
I wish you a Productive and Healthy day!

[jedidiahbennett]

Wow thank you. Exactly the video I was looking for. Had a whoop for a year but got rid of it because of cost. I was looking at getting it again but didn’t want to for the same reasons of not wanting something on my wrist that wasn’t a watch, and cost. Thank you so much!!

[MarkGowdy]

Great video. Recently switched to the Apple Watch and Athlytic for many of the same reasons, plus the ECG features.

I don’t have the Ultra so this may be moot but love how you set up the button to start a workout and to increment rounds. If you don’t mind sharing, how did you set that up?

PS congrats on the CFG win!

[victormaia]

I used to be obcessed with smart watches but since I started crossfit I have a hard time with them. I always am taking off the smart watch during the classes. But I still use my Garmin for running and swimming.

A friend bought an Apple Watch Ultra and sold it after a month. He got only nearly 2 days of battery doing nearly everyday the same stuff: 2 daily hours of Crossfit training and recording his bicycle commutes... I was thinking to try one, but after his experience I definitely pass. I think I will go for the Fenix 7X sapphire.

[lucianodeoliveira]

There`s a configuration on the Apple Watch that you can turn the button inside, that`s what I use, so the grip won`t be pressing it all the time (or my dog`s leash...). Also big fan of Athlytics, thanks for the tip..

[BradleyMuggleton-fgfv]

You can pick alerts for HR zones so it notifies you click the edit on the workout and it should be there

[rickymaldojano]

I like being on zone 3 for 30mins everyday for fat burning and the Apple Watch helps a lot with keeping me on that pace….now that I use the Apple Watch I realized that I was in zone 2 or 1 in the past and the watch helps a lot with letting you know the pace

[alexandrezanoni]

This is a great video, I like how you mentioned how it's just good to have something that works as a watch. I had a Fenix 6 and currently testing the Whoop and an Apple Watch. Lots of reviews seem to be paid by Whoop to be honest. The app is great but I've been finding the placement either on wrist or bicep a bit funny, always having to readjust and annoying me.

Have you drilled down into comparisons between AWU+Athlytic vs Whoop?

[CallMeRyle]

I have a Garmin instinct 2x with solar and I charge it once a month which is nice. Ordering an ultra 2 to see if it’s integration with my phone can help me reduce screen time. I’m almost never away from a charger long enough for the short battery life to be an issue for me. But that’s me

[christoferturner]

Data suggests that the Apple Watch ultra is the most accurate heart rate monitor on the market however there is a slight delay from the data on the watch itself to iPhone.

[ramblr]

Can you do a youtube short or part 2 in how to set up the apple watch for crossfit wods? Which programs in work out do use most often? I see HIIT Also do you log your morning wake up resting heart rate?

[blahboy]

Whoop is the blockbuster of wearables. I literally wrote an email to them like 2 years ago ( still have the email) telling them they should include step count and other metrics because people don't want to have a million devices on their wrists and they were super dismissive and rude and essentially told me we know what we're doing. And I said alright just wait until someone comes along and does what you're doing and more and does it for less than you're charging and canceled my subscription. Now look at them - people are jumping ship for the reasons I outlined in my email to them. They deserve it. If you don't change with the time you get left behind.
