@@Puglas7819 ROFL what are you smoking? I own an Ultra 1, been wearing it every day for the past 581 days. I mountain bike, hike, swim etc and mine looks basically new (except the watch strap is getting a bit dirty and fraying). Are you planning on smashing the back of your watch onto concrete? 🤣

@@bmwmrt Mine hasn't scratched at all yet.

@@nickr3589 For me, to have a black apple setup black ultra 2 is more suitable, but then again it is best to see both watches in apple store before purchasing one. Tbh, not having a complete black setup isn’t the end of the world😅 Should just get the whichever watch you like more in person.

Usually the watch warns you when to charge before going to sleep so you can benefit from all the vitals and sleep monitoring activities. Mine does that its an ultra 2 bu not the black and has all the features and always gives me a notification to charge before bed time given that you have entered your sleep time to the sleep app.
I already enjoy my Apple Watch series 8 in SS, but highly considering adding the new Ultra 2 in black to my rotation. However, not sure if I should wait for Ultra 3 version.
Thanks for the update 😎. As someone who is looking to upgrade from a watch 3 would you say the ultra 2 or watch 10 be better ? I’ve heard the 10 has the same battery life as the 3 which is pretty disappointing 😢
I am looking at getting my first ever Apple watch I am trying to decide between the series 9 or the series 10 or the black ultra 2 I am 59 years old and not a real tech jockey lol what i want it for is day to day watch the health benefits and the sleep apnea is a bonus but will it be available on all 3 of these watches with an update ? and to use it on the golf course for distances and to keep track of my steps etc which do you think would suit me or be my best choice between these 3 watches ? thx a bunch awesome review by they way cheers from Vulcan Canada
sleep apnea wont be available on aw9 only on series 10 and ultra 2. and if youre fine with charging everyday the aw10 would fit your needs, otherwise if you want to have better battery life (around 2 days) go for the ultra 2
I'd recommend going with the series 10 or even 9 if you're not needing a load of features like diving and playing music on it. I have the Ultra 2 and it's almost twice as heavy on the wrist. Almost painful sometimes honestly, but I'm an active person so I like it.
@@AznPrzsn i recommend watching Dexter The Original Sin once it comes out. Lucifer series sucks ass. Dexter will be Lucifer in eternal hell without a doubt.
@@AznPrzsn In my PO I think it’s pretty comfy and since it’s light you forget you’re wearing it at times. But I still default to other bands that slightly beats it out in comfort. (Alpine loop, Nike sport loop, and maybe a g-shock rugged style band🤷🏾). ⌚️
@@ldvrrn8269 Yeah I agree it's pretty light. Perhaps it's the first time wearing a watch 24/7 in over a decade, much less one as large as the U2, that makes it feel quite bulky. Yeah I currently mainly use it with a g-shock style band that's very comfy. The Milanese band almost either feels like it's secure but cutting into me, or too floppy and insecure lol
@@AppleInsider I called today and talked to someone in Apple and was told the NEW Ultra 2 from the September event does not have the sensor. I called because I've heard it's still there but I've heard they removed it.
Looks better but people are second guessing if they should wear it to do this or rhat due to it may scratch. Thats not a very smart idea for a outdoor adventure watch
When im about a plan to buy iphone,airpods and apple watch.. 5days before i order it i making sure that i already orderes the cases or the protective covers in each 😂😂😂
I’m disappointed the the music play through the speakers are not also on the Apple Watch Until first generation. I know it’s capable because I can stream radio with STREAMLET app on my watch and music plays through the watch speakers 🔊.
There are a lot more reports of the Ultra 2 Black getting scratched, and those scratches being more visible simply because of the contrast of a black coating. The AWU Natural Titanium gets scratched, but it is harder to see those.
I really have not seen many of these at all. I'm not saying they don't happen but they're pretty rare. I totally agree though that the contrast of the natural titanium underneath makes any scratches more pronounced than on the all natural-colored model.
What "reports" are you talking about? I see you and others commenting the same stuff all over the reviews. Just stop. Chase The Summit dropped this thing repeatedly and it's fine. Stop being a whining B. So annoying.
Heck no I ain't paying full price for a 2023 Apple Watch. Maybe if it was 25% cheaper but I am still rocking my Ultra 1 and will keep it until Apple gives us a real upgrade, not just a colour. I prefer the natural titanium anyway. I am pretty tempted to get that new Titanium Milanese Loop though. I wear the Trail Loop and it's so comfortable but it's terrible when swimming so the Milanese loop would be good for that and also classy for when I go out to dinner etc.
I thought I scratched mine on my box truck made of mostly steel and aluminum but to my surprise, it was just residue from the truck. Wiped right off. The material is actually very durable. I doubt rocks would do worst damage than steel but what do I know.
Yes and no. First, so did the previous version. That didn't change. You still can't get that on the natural colored one and you couldn't get it on any Apple Watch past that date last year. That said, the hardware is still there. Apple needs to get this figured out with Massimo and then the feature can be enabled again. So you should, eventually, be able to use it here. Just ridiculous that it's still blocked.
In Europe it's still a working feature, patent issue in the US with Massimo. Stalemate at the moment, US patent runs out in 2028 so that's one way it could go. The other is Massimo are willing to lease Apple their technology but only their new, improved tech, the original Oxygen app was a stop gap released during covid that's ok but not medical certified reliable. Apple poached 25 of Massimo's staff to create their own, but it seems Massimo have beaten them to the improved version. Massimo are bringing out a square(ish) healthy watch, which Apple out of principle are considering playing their own patent card. It's a bit of a ding, dong with no love lost.
I got snagged on a hook opened up fell off my wrist no I didn't get AppleCare I was debating on it and I thought it was so durable I didn't need it the funny thing is I had whole body screen protector except on the back so it really pissed me off I bought Apple watches for my family not the ultras though but they wear closed bracelets mine was open type so I'm just saying you love it until it falls off your wrist and turns into scrap
I guess I'll have to wait another year to get one. My Ultra 1 has no problems, but there is no way that I am giving my money to Apple for delivering a new colour way with 2023 tech. Shame.on.them.
It looks so much better in black!!
Hell yes it does
It won't look good when the scratches shine through like black and white.

Great work, Andrew. Wearing my black Ultra Watch 2/ navy Alpine loop now. 😊
Bought a black Ultra 2 today.
So, if these require a daily charge and (assuming that charging happens at night), how would you be able to take advantage the Sleep Apnea feature?
Mine lasts 3 days on a single charge with a charge required around mid day or end of day on the 3rd day depending on usage
Usually the watch warns you when to charge before going to sleep so you can benefit from all the vitals and sleep monitoring activities. Mine does that its an ultra 2 bu not the black and has all the features and always gives me a notification to charge before bed time given that you have entered your sleep time to the sleep app.
can i get the new features update with the apple iwatch ultra 2 2023 models?
OMG black is immaculate!! I wanna get it but my apple watch 6 is still working perfectly. Maybe after a year when the price drop.
No get it now 😡
Just bought the ultra 2 black but that speaker play-back is it for the black ultra 2 only or you got this on the silver ultra 2 from last year ?
Ultra 2 both colours and Series 10.
Just to be clear. All those features you mentioned are available on the ultra 2 that came out last year as well.
And smoking big cigars
is it closer to space grey or space black?
Definitely black black. No grey at all.

Series 19 looks more like a classic watch. IMO nicer on the wrist. But if they shrunk the ultra it would grab more people.
Without an iPhone, this thing can’t even tell you the time.
whoa.
Some of these scratches are the leftovers of the rocks.
I guess it’s just me but the s10 looks way way better
I'm a fan of the titanium Series 10
Agreed. Not a fan of the Ultra’s design.Much prefer the regular Series.I upgraded from an S7 stainless steel to the Natural Titanium S10.
Apple Watch Ultra is not meant to be beautiful. It is for a rugged audience with an active lifestyle.
@@ArnelGuanlao no one said beautiful… just we prefer the look.

They don't sell for full price. I mean, unless you buy the black one. But you can buy the natural titanium for quite a discount.
Can’t wait for Apple to implement way to measure blood pressure on their next watch…. Suddenly every Apple fanboy will have high blood pressures.
Going rock climbing isn’t advised with the ultra watch? You sure about that
Haha I mean, if you're someone who is that concerned about getting it scratched!
