I agree with you the Ultra 2 is still a great value in 2024. I recently upgraded from the Ultra 1 to the place Ultra 2. To my surprise I have noticed a significant difference in connectivity, to other devices i.e. my Mac, Peloton, iPhone and iPad. I am an Apple ecosystem gadget geek. So I really really feel the difference in the connectivity. Connecting to my Peloton used to require fidgeting toggling off and on multiple times. Now it works fast and ALWAYS. The brightness isn't a big deal until you're actually outside where you will immediately notice it. I use it to turn on lights and close shades daily. Again the connectivity is highly noticeable and has really increased my enjoyment of the watch. To me it feels like a new watch. Very happy can't wait to get the new titanium band in November. The other bands are just ok and not really worth $100 to me. Many may disagree with my assessment, as I haven't see anyone talk about the Ultra 1 vs Ultra 2 performance differences which are pretty significant to name. Got my Ultra 2 from Amazon at slight discount. Tradied in my Ultra 1 to Apple for the new black titanium band. Anyway nice video!! I enjoyed it.
I definitely think it's worth it in 2024! I ended up picking up a black one last week, upgrading from a Series 6. I love it! The increase in battery life is insane. Love that I can use it for sleep tracking and not have to worry about charging it all the time.
I just picked one up and I absolutely love it. I had the ultra 1 before but had to sell it for financial reasons. But the ultra 2 is so much brighter .
Man just got mine. Love it. I do blue collar. This comes in so handy sending or checking a quick text to family, music,checking weather, I have never owned one and this is such a handy thing for me. I'm also big samoan so the watch face looks good on my wrist. The wrist band that came with it I poked a small hole below the last one and it fits like a glove. In all man I really love this peice of tech. Super helpful to me.
Worth noting that the Ultra can function as a powerful dive computer when paired with the Oceanic+ app, the series 10 doesn't have the required sensors. If you dive then this is a huge plus for the ultra.
I have owned 2 older apple watches but the short battery life just didn’t work for me. My golf watch, garmin s62 is perfect but lacks my apple connectivity. Is the Ultra 2 battery that much better? I hope to enjoy a round of golf without having to recharge my watch mid day. Thoughts?
I'm considering upgrading to an Ultra from my Series 8 - but not sure if the Ultra 2 is worth the extra money compared to the Ultra 1. The design is identical and the specs are only marginally better on the Ultra 2. Is it worth the extra bucks?
I just got myself the ultra 2 yesterday. Last min changed of heart from s10. Reasons, durability, battery and the flat screen. I cracked my watch se screen last month (after a whole 4yrs) , so i hope this one does bring the durability it promises❤
@@devonm8043 I love it so much. One thing, I didn’t realize how big the material and built quality made the difference against aluminium S10. My previous experience with screen crack really hit me hard. So, the ultra is no brainer. Although, without any internal update this year, disappoint me.
1:35 I got the black ultra when it released. I put my crown on the left and have issues with the bigger crown cause I broke my arm playing 8th grade football many years ago and the lump on my arm stops the crown from spinning right 😂. I love this thing otherwise after upgrading from the 6.
I have a 6 and im not sure if i should upgrade to the ultra 2? I use it for running, thats about it. Im willing to use it for sleep tracking but the 6 is not great for sleep tracking
@ oh nope it’s not that much different. I had the 6 and it was wearing out so I needed to upgrade. I honestly think getting the 10 would be a decent upgrade unless you want the extra battery life and durability. I bang my arm into things CONSTANTLY somehow at work and home so the ultra 2 helps me out there.
I have a series 9 but looking into upgrading due to needing a more rugged durable watch, i like the sound of extra battery life also and it certainly is a cool looking watch, i am very active so seems to be a good fit there also
Swapped Ultra 2 from last year to Titanium series 10. This thing charges up in 10 minutes, it's awesome and you know the best thing, it fits under a cuff, jacket, gloves etc. Only thing I miss is action button, the watch itself is a monstrosity.
I currently use a Suunto Core, and my favorite feature is the barometer-it alerts me to pressure drops, so I know a storm is coming without needing internet access. Can the Apple Watch Ultra do the same? If so, I’m ready to buy it now. If anyone knows please comment
Apple Watch Ultra 2 is £650 in the UK but hope it’s drops a bit more for Black Friday. I’m on series 6 right now. I want something durable and better battery life.
Really depends on your budget. Garmin is great for heavy exercise and tracking however I would choose the ultra if you already have an iPhone because the apple ecosystem is easier.
Very informative. I will say, I don't really see the point of this watch... I'll probably be making a video about it soon. I got an Apple Watch SE 2nd gen and it meets ALL my needs for just a fraction of the price. I use it to exercise and notifications. As far as the Ultra 2 goes...I've seen people on marketplace sell these for as low as $350. So if anyone sees this my suggestion would be finding one used in good condition vs paying retail from apple
Same here. Quick top up before bed time and full power for long runs even with LTE, music etc. - and with the dual band gps and big rugged design it’s a pretty damn good running buddy now
I have the ultra 1 and I dont think I will have anything but ultra watches in the future😅 the ultra 2 was not a big enough upgrade though, but for new buyer its a no brainer
Your comment at the start of the video that it is not an upgrade from the ultra one is incorrect. it has a different processor which supports a more advanced neural engine and therefore additional functionality such as sleep apnea checking .
Man, I love my Ultra. Battery life, durability and looks. Mine is already of age (ultra one), but I have zero incentive to change it. My biggest gripe with the regular one is the curved screen, which whilst looking good is a recipe for disaster in my hands as I scratch the heck outta it. It will be a sad day when at some point (hopefully not anytime soon) I will have to part with it.
I am planning to upgrade from 6 to Ultra 2 for the battery life and the fact that the battery health of the 6 is now down to 84% .Good video but I think you talk too fast as if you are being chased by something.
Do they have a golf app ? for distances and stuff ? only other activities is walking , light workouts , want also for the health features i am 59 with sleep apnea and not very tech savy but willing to learn , want it as an everyday watch to , your thoughts ? which would i be best with the Ultra 2 or the Series 10 ? this is my very first Apple watch thanks cheers from Canada
it is not worth it. if you don't need the specific tools in the Ultra, then it is just a bulky statement piece. Functionality wise the Watch 10 is the way to go, try sleep tracking with a brick on your wrist
Until this watch starts tracking battery life in days rather than % I won’t go back to AWU. Awesome watch but battery life is rubbish. Fenix 8 is the way for me. Went on a 7 days holiday and still didn’t need to charge watch until I got home. Also there is no recovery or sleep score with Apple. To not have this in this day and age is terrible and so far behind competitors. I do stress though it’s an awesome smart watch but not an awesome health and fitness tracker like my Garmin Fenix 8.
Fenix 8 with 200 MHz CPU and 5MB RAM)😂😂😂😂 for 1.100 euros That the reason it has so much lag Also 1.100 euros for a plastic body ?😂😂😂 Come on don’t compare it with the AWU2 👋
@ there is no comparison when it comes to health and fitness tracking. You cannot even stop a workout by pressing one button on the AWU. I love the AWU but why can Apple not just sort such basic functions. It along with sleep and recovery score metrics are main reasons it’s not daily driver.
I've just ordered a new apple watch ultra 2 here in the UK for £649.Thats £150 discount from virtually anywhere else in the UK right now. The deal is with EE. Co. UK It must be in the natural colour with Indigo Alpine band, but what a bargain! I have been to apple store and tried on the new black ultra 2, but didnt like it. I also tried on the new apple watch 10, its nice but I have the series 3 in good condition, so and it's not a big enough change in design, but the ULTRA 2 in natural looks amazing, WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO PRODUCE A BLACK FINISH?
Hopefully Black Friday the price drops a bit more otherwise I might end up getting it from EE. If you are with EE you will get 10% for the watch deal and ask them about the £5 a month sim for it.
@@BruceLeeRoy26 yup waste of money for what you get... the ULTRA 2 should be $350... until apple gets 7 to 10 days of battery their watches are useless
I love sneaker Seth, but I’m genuinely appreciating tech Seth now that sneaker culture and sneaker hype has died down over the last few years.

The AW ULTRA 2 in black🔥🔥🔥
You said the orange button is only on the ultra 2 I just looked down at my wrist ultra 1 has it too
😂🤦♂️
Lmao
Or you just buy the Ultra 2 because you have the money for it and like the design more then the series 10 and dont care about the extra functions 😂
Does it have real GPS ?
What’s your wrist size?
Apple Watch Ultra 2 or Garmin watch. Will they have all the apps I use from phone to be on there too.
Really depends on your budget. Garmin is great for heavy exercise and tracking however I would choose the ultra if you already have an iPhone because the apple ecosystem is easier.

That Series 10 watch is designed to get a beating and will end up at the Apple repair store. So prone to scratches and cracks.

if you are looking for a dive watch … ULTRA 2.
I still don’t know what this is for ?
The ultra 2 is still better than the S10
Not with the side colors
yes
I love my Apple Watch Ultra 2 I’ve had it for 8 months I love it it’s worth $799
Until battery will not last at least A WEEK.... no go for me. Huawei lasting 12d easily and does all .
