I, A Cyclist, Replaced My Phone With an Apple Watch Ultra for 30 Days

- According to my screen time app, I'm on my phone for two and a half hours per day. That equals 38 whole days per year. Disgusting. Time is all we have in life, so to claim my life back from my phone, I, a cyclist, replaced my phone with an Apple Watch Ultra for 30 days to see if it encourages me to use my phone less and use my precious time more wisely. Can the Apple Watch Ultra be a suitable phone replacement for cyclists?

I have been thinking about going watch only to reduce screen time but it feels silly to buy more tech so I can escape tech. Instead I have deleted every app that I would normally use if I take out my phone without thinking :) that worked really well actually.
Highly relatable. I'm going to try this experiment right now and see how it works.
Imagine binge watching Zach’s videos and then getting to this video. Inb4 bait
Zach rocks with MCR? 👍🖤👍
Zach listens to Babymetal? 🔥
and Polyphia !!
I was gonna comment & ask what's his fav song...
Can you recommend a bike computer or other tech that can streamline or complicate life/cycling?
This is such a cool experiment! Thank you for sharing your journey
loving the floral blazer! looks dope with the appley wash.
Zelda tears of the kingdom and fixed gear? 2 of my favorite things ever lol
I use a computer for work, and a Tablet for my music production so I use a Feature Phone - Hammer 5 smart (with minimal internet access, whatsapp etc) it's been so nice not constantly staring at a phone.
Loved seeing the music library.. Do you like The Wonder Years?
Best Apple Watch ad ever
what mirror thing do you use for your helmet?
what wahoo mount are you using zach? thanks
Great review dude )
Sweet! Been waiting for this one 😎
8:50 was surprised to see a pair of Dan Clarks in this video, nice choice. What model are they?
4:20 I feel like between this and when Zach was really sad that he couldn't complete his epic bikepacking trip, they are the most real he's ever been on camera bahahaha
Love your videos my guy, when I have the money and space I'm definitely going to talk to Wabi and let them know that you sent me.
Nevermind I think 5:43 is peak Zach
the phone lightness is real
Way to represent Detroit Michigan !!
Yo can you make a tutorial on how to replace handlebar grip tape?
Only just heard about Mackinac Island the other day! No cars right?
I've done something similar with just using a Fitbit. It doesn't have cell service, but I've found that using it to swipe away my notifications prevents me from pulling out my phone, swiping the notification, then oh, while I have it out, I'll just check a few things.......20 minutes later..... yeah, what a waste of time.
Also, I can relate to the drugs thing. Never got started, never wanted to get started, but I sometimes feel like I'm the only person on planet earth that ISN'T doing some recreational drug right now. It's offered out quite a bit on my weekly group ride. Some people look at me weird when I turn it down.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Of all my bikes I enjoy riding my surly fixed wheel the most. 47 x 17 . Anyway now I see a bass guitar ! Cool. I have a rickenbacker and a Marcus miller .
Great vidéo ! what are these bottle cage ? where can I find them ? wish u the best
Could you please make a similar video on wahoo, what benifits/ disputes it brimgs
Whoa! All Time Low!
I enjoy your music choices.
Where did you get the strap!?
Nice 📲 you’re coming thru✨✌️
Can't find the other channel
My watch lasts more than three years on a single charge.
That’s a fly suit my guy
Sport dedicated watches FTW
Nice experiment :)
I was just looking for Apple Watch videos then I discovered the best TH-camr,,, that’s sick
I feel like you stole my watch when I saw the Neck deep albums🤘
Zach my brain is having a hard time reconciling the fred mirror with the huge saddle height-to-bars discrepancy. Spacers are you friend.
you missed the part where he cut his fork as much as possible? Hes young and has long arms, I think he will be ok :)
8 minutes in what watch band is that?
ayye squier 40th anniv bass
I was thinking this channel must be maturing cuz I haven't heard fixie foo in forever. But if you're talking about a couple fixie foos what else can you say
bought a samsung smartwatch so i could use maps, see the time, quick message, change my music. so that i could leave my stupid phone in my bike bag and like you said feel lighter and it works great
Rumour is the Big Pop punk Industry is coming for you.
All jokes aside sick video
lets forget the part where the pro youtuber doesn't have TH-cam on his phone.
I've been in way too many traffic accidents that left me hospitalized and my phone was there for me to call relatives, let them know which hospital I was being taken to and so on. I'm terrified of leaving the house on a bike without my phone, getting into another accident and not having a way to call for help.
This is a cellular watch lmao
You are back in Taiwan?? Awesome!!
So far its good. I am living my life... epic.
Great insights 💪🏽🤠🇺🇸
I like this idea but my laptop is currently funky so I kind of have to currently rely on my phone more than I would like to do.
But also I’ve been doing Uber eats by bike since like October or something so I have to use it for that haha. If my laptop wasn’t messed up or I could upgrade it that would help me use it less but since it’s kind of unpredictable I bought another iPhone a couple months ago
That has more memory so I can edit my TH-cam videos I do them on that phone instead.
Which has been due since it has had the upside of quicker video editing and uploading so that’s nice. But I have gotten into the habit the last year or so of being better about not using my phone if I don’t actually need to use it. So I’m okay with that. I can keep myself busy without either of my phones and laptop. Since I like to be productive and such. So not hard to do whatever that is off screen.
Wotancraft @9:27👍🏻
XD Dude, you still need your phone lmao.
Last year when I got into an accident I was thankful I have a phone,
I left my bike to my friend near the crash area,
and I called myself a Grab Taxi and bring myself, to get hospital then contact my family to bring me my medical card. XD
XD XD XD XD XD
You don't need a smartphone or mobile data for that, though. But I agree, carrying a mobile phone can be a life saver in emergency situations. Especially as a cyclist.
@@FernandoHernandez-jw4yyall senior citizens should have lifealert
@@FernandoHernandez-jw4yy Specially my brother one time. XD he's fvckin RD hanger suddenly snap and he was stuck 11km away.
he was on a 40% gradient so even walking back is hard XD
@cony You only call ambulance if you can't move, if it's really emergency.
I'm still on a condition to move on foot but not in condition to ride, left arm doesn't have any strength, but considering I wasn't on the ground in paid safe to assume I wasn't badly hurt.
XD besides, if I wait for an ambulance it'll take me longer to get the help I need anyway.
And specially in america I don't think people would call ambulance even when they need one because it would cost a lot.
I really wish Apple would put a new chipset in the Apple Watch for efficiency…. The bright sunny weather really drains my series 7 😢 cmon Apple stop being greedy…. Nice video ❤
Wearing a blazer doesn't make you sweaty since it's hot outside?🤔😅✌🏼
me with an average of 7 hours screen time😃
Zach this was cool but for a little push back, we are in a day and age where not having your phone can be considered irresponsible. Imagine going on a hike, you slip and break your leg. You’re stranded with no phone.
Or what if you’re in a car wreck? Are you calling your insurance company, family, and police all from watch? At a certain point it would be ridiculous and more of an inconvenience.
Yes, but you can call all of those people from the watch though.
Another option is just buy a dumb phone . It will have all the features of a iwatch minus the fit stuff and cheaper while allowing you to talk instead of text .
I be on my phone way too much lmao
Just wanna ask which iPhone that he use? Can anybody tell me please🤔😅
Some solid artists in that Apple Music gallery 🤙🏻
you're eating healthy food, you dont do drugs, you dont use that mutch phone, sooo you just ride bikes? hahahaha
Apple watch is annoying. Always telling me to do something. Alerting me with useless info. I gave it away
you can turn those things off
Прикольная идея. 😅
I love this 🔥
Post ur personal here on TH-cam we will call u up so u don't feel lonely....
You could get a really pretty nice bike or some really awesome components for the price of an Apple Watch Ultra so it's clearly a waste of money.
Wait … is Zach hot?!?
again
first
