    My Apple Watch Ultra is basically just an extension of my phone during work when I can’t keep my phone on me. This is because I work in healthcare and don’t want to pull out my phone when I’m chairside.
    Outside of work and working out, the two things on my wrist are either my submariner or my bb58.
    Apple Watch is just a tool for me and can’t replace a traditional watch. I’d wear a Seiko 5 or a Casio over my Apple Watch.

    I honestly thought I'd never own a smart watch, I'm 20 so not because I don't get it but I hated the whole having to charge it thing and lack of durability. But a year ago I found a garmin dive watch which seemed magical, I've always loved the idea of having a dive computer that's also an everyday watch that does all the other things when I'm not using it's super power 😂 and so charging it once a week felt like an easy compromise, I'm glad more smart watches have dive computer capabilities

    I think people need both. Different purposes and on days you just want to kick back, an apple watch is an excellent watch and on events or days you dress your sundays best, a mechanical watch (doesnt have to be a rolex) is best to wear. I find the convenience of wearing an apple watch ultra because its wayy lighter than my Sub or my Skyd and its awesome to receive calls and notifs and workout with but there are days that i would like to get away from the social media side and constant notifs and this is where a mechanical watch comes in :D

      The only problem is that the smartwatches rely on computing technology that evolves rapidly every year and while an automatic watch has the same practical value as it had 20 years ago (let's not say 50 because watches got much better at water resistance in the last decades) and apple watch will become completely obsolete and potentially even unusable because of the lack of compatibility with the newer iPhones in a few years.

    So, i was selling my apple watch in favour of getting more wrist time out of my mechanical/auto/quartz collection. Then the ultra came along, i had to have it. Cool factor. Titanium. Looks. The first time i went in a pool and it auto switched to depth mode, and i didnt know it was going to do that…..It definitely gives my other watches less on wrist time, its handy, i can have my airpods in and push through my tunes without having to access my phone, all from a touch of my watch while i work out, or walk, or whatever….I can drive and have the watch dictate my route with voice commands and handy haptic feedback to remind me theres a change of direction about to occur, so i can keep humming away to my favourite tune while simultaneously tuning out until that reminder kicks in….and the list goes on. While i bought a couple of bling straps and a subdued one, i also tend to stick to the bright yellow rubber dive strap, to allow other Ultra users to spot another member of the club, a bit like the Jeep wave. And it works. All in all i love the thing. But i do have to remember to take it off, hide it, and put on the speedy when i want to just tell the time and admire a different kind of beauty. And it IS just different.

Do I wear the Apple Watch more now? Yes. But I’ve come to the realisation that it’s okay to. It just means when I put the Speedy on it makes it that much more special. In all honesty having the apple watch has actually reduced the times i pull my phone out to check notifications so its a win in my book

But I agree they're not comparable. It's apples and oranges. So any argument makes no sense.

      @VectorGaming4080 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Craftsmanship might not be the right word since Apple Watches are mass manufactured, but I would say Apple Watches are far more complex and precise machines than any luxury mechanical watch. The precision machined titanium body and sapphire crystal does give it a decent level of craftsmanship, but in terms of pure artwork I think most would consider the Rolex to be a better ‘work of art’. However, that’s subjective.

      Even though I don’t have a Rolex, (but wish I could get one lol) I would have to say the very reason they are still around is because clearly people still love and want them. I had an Apple Watch Ultra for almost a year, and had no emotional connection with it for obvious reasons, but now I have a citizen eco drive watch, and although I’ve only had it for 6months, I already feel very attached to it. Why? Because it’s my favourite colour, emerald green, and it has much more character than any Apple Watch - and best of all, it gets its power from any light source, so no need to worry about putting it on a charger every day lol.

    I view my Ultra as a next generation tool watch. I can check notifications and email in a quick glance in a meeting without appearing rude. It helps me track my vitals and activity. It helps me navigate streets or getting out of the train without constantly looking at a screen. It also is a tool watch in the traditional sense where I can go on adventures in the ocean or trails or bike with it. However, there’s some aspects that I prefer in a traditional analog tool watch. For example, I’d prefer the tachymeter and chrono of my chronograph watches. There’s a delight in tracking my flights on my speedy that I just would not get from an Apple Watch. The finishings and polish of the Ultra doesn’t give the feeling of jewelry that the analog counter parts have. But that’s ok and helps with the everyday feel, where say a Panerai might still feel too gaudy. So to think of it, consider an Apple Watch Ultra as the watch Q made with the neat tricks to save Bond, if he needn’t a suit and might have his phone die.

    Fact of the matter is, the smartwatch is not memorable, holds no sentiment, not valued when passed down between generations.
    Was considering the tag heuer connected as a possible go between, but didn't because it gets obsolete as well.
    Maybe if luxury watch makers did a 1 for 1 subscription basis for a smartwatch.

    I’ve had an Apple Watch for years, and I’ve never ever used it for any training or sports other than its timer function. And I’m an ex competitive athlete of several sports…
    I’ve never used the step counting thing either. I mountaineer and I only tried the route tracking function once. Same with the navigation function.
    I’m going back to old-school mechanical watches, especially after realizing that the tech companies are evil and criminal.

I don’t count my steps everyday, I don’t reply to texts on it, etc. it’s just used like a “normal” watch in my use. I do thinks it’s cool that it can do all it does and the titanium is really nice but I know that it’s tech and loses value very fast.

    Earlier in 2022 until just this January, I was really thinking hard about buying a smartwatch(not apple) as my everyday wear, but I just couldn't justify buying a 200-300 USD watch that will become obsolete as my old CRT tv next year. So I bought a Seiko instead. Don't get me wrong, I'm a techie person and update flagship phones every 2 years, but it's always been different with watches for me, I never saw the appeal or the utility of a smartwatch, tracking steps, oxygen levels, and alarms doesn't seem much of a selling point for me when I could just use my phone. It would be ridiculous buying a smartwatch just for telling time because that smartwatch will age like vinegar like 5 year old smartphones.

    I've had my Ultra for 3 months now. Just like my other Apple watches, it serves the purpose of getting notifications without having to take out my phone while at work. The Ultra is different though. I don't wear it to bed to check my sleeping, I take it off and turn it off around 8 pm. In my case, I'm getting at least 5 days of battery life and sometimes 6. I also find myself doing something that I never did with any other Apple Watch, leaving my phone at home when I go out. The best part of that is I'm not constantly looking at my phone all day. It keeps me present when I'm out to eat with friends or whatever it is that I'm doing. I have a few nice mechanical watches that I love. My nicest watch is an Omega Aqua Terra small seconds that I absolutely love, and have a few others. But, since getting the Ultra, I really don't wear the others anymore. It's become my every day and then some.

  • @billymania11

    In the urban jungle, any watch lends cred and is a must. In the office, at the bar, on the bus. Having said that, an Apple watch denotes tech savvy and a guy with a purpose. It's not a bad look. Wearing a Rolex is a bit more tricky. The wearer is trying to be noticed and it could invite trouble if in the wrong neighborhood, but a Rolex could also be a draw for a sophisticated lady. For me personally, too much attention is verboten. I prefer my bronze Hamilton Khaki or my Apple iWatch Model 3 w/cellular.

  • @tsuchiyasbassist
    @tsuchiyasbassist ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The inevitable obsolescence of the technology is what keeps me away from this. I actually really like the Ultra, it's ridiculously over-engineered for what my daily use is. I like what it is built for and something about that appeals to me massively as someone who lives a really sedate life. Same as a Submariner really. I'll never take mine diving or live like James Bond. But it's just cool and I like the way it makes me feel. The mechanical watch however, will make me feel like that for potentially decades. The Apple Watch Ultra will go into a drawer in a few years time, alongside my older Apple Watches when they get damaged or the battery goes flat, or when the software just can't hack it anymore.

    I don't understand, why do guys at Watchfinder have this obsession with Rolex? I'm not talking about how many videos they make about them because I understand that any title with the word rolex gets a lot of clicks but the fact that on many occasions they make comments like "everybody wants a rolex"/"we all want a rolex" or that "rolex daytona is the most iconic chronograph watch of all time" (this one especially made me a little bit angry considering how Speedmaster is much more recognizable, has much more historic importance and generally is by most considered to be THE chronograph watch). I don't get the Rolex hype, all of their watches look so chunky and ugly, especially the ones with the cyclops lens which is a really horrendously looking feature. I like the Milgauss and Cellini because they actually try to look interesting but all other of their watches just look like a fat metal bracelet that an old guy without any taste would wear on his yacht.

    The Point of the Apple Watch is it's an information und medical device. And it has a unicorn dial. The best part is that you have a second wrist for a real watch. For me it is a automatic mechanical marvel I love. So I wear 2 watches. One tells me the time and the other one pleases my eyes. The Apple Watch is a brilliant piece of technology. But no one will keep an Apple Watch for so many years as a mechanical watch. Who will inherit an Apple Watch? A mechanical watch is passed down many generations. The conclusion is that both have their justification.
