      Agreed, given I'm an android user and just bought the s23 at the start of the year, I'm waiting till it's no longer getting updates, but by then the apple watch ultra series will be fantastic, and even better than it is now. And I'm certain I'll at least try it out.

      Same. I work from home as an analyst and need to be able to take calls during working hours, but I get easily lured into opening apps after I am done speaking.
      It’s a bad excuse, but I feel like this could be a useful too.

    Excellent video! I have an Ultra, and occasionally swap it back for one of my analogue watches, but when I use the Ultra with cellular, I love it - the feeling of casting off the shackles of my phone is amazing. Literally feel lighter, more present. But still communicatable (word…?). And can pay for stuff. It’s great. And like others, might dust off my old DSLR, as taking pictures is the only thing I miss not having my phone.

  • @MattMead1981

    Absolutely loved this video, Brandon! 41 year old here also with similar phone concerns. 10 days into having the Ultra and it's the best tech I've had in years. Yes, tech and build awesome but as you put so well, the freedom to not be constantly consumed by the phone. Taking the watch for a hike on Sunday with the AirPods Pro and no phone was liberating! New sub here and look forward to more videos!

    One thing I did was pick the 13 Mini and have decided to stay with it. I need it for online banking and other useful functions like email and texts but I keep it fairly limited to apps that are functional. My Ultra 2 is fast becoming my go to device for communications by phone and texting via dictation vice typing. I’m discovering that I really don’t need to have my phone with me all the time. The Ultra/Ultra 2 makes that possible. In fact, if I were going on a trip I would take my iPhone, Ultra and my camera but leave the phone in the hotel. Good job.

    • @BrandonTalbot

    I'm so glad you made this video. I've been searching for something exactly like this. I would love it if you could make a follow-up that details your day-to-day usage of both devices. I want to make this transition myself but want to know that it's making a real difference every day and I would love to hear how you choose "today is going to be a phone day" vs a "watch day."

    • @BrandonTalbot
      @BrandonTalbot  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sure thing! But it would be incredibly hard to just label it a phone day or a watch day, it really depends on what my needs are. Like I said in the video, I could have done (and have done) everything on my watch. The only reason I needed my phone was to control the camera app. I'm personally just seeing the phone more and more as unnecessary. I leave my phone on my nightstand when I go to bed, and it stays there when I wake up. All my work is done on the computer. IG & YT is now done on the computer as well, and not the phone. To make my workouts more efficient I just take the watch because I take less breaks and work harder when I just have music and I'm not texting or watching TH-cam video. I will say the phone has an advantage over the watch when it comes to maps because of the real estate, so if I NEED to go somewhere I never have, the phone is less stressful to rely on, but other than that, everyday is "everything but the phone" day.

    Dude, I really appreciate this video and it's the first video I've ever watched of yours. I also got the Ultra when it first came out, so over a year ago. It's hands down my favorite piece of technology. I leave my phone at home all the time and it's freeing. I so relate to what you were talking about with Instagram and needing to disconnect more. The Ultra is a piece of tech in a long while that I feel like benefits us in the sense of it creates a method to stay connected, without being too connected. I also literally have zero marks on mine and I snowboard, surf, backpack and have a crazy 1.5 yr old who is always trying to bite it. I loved this video. Also we just went to the Oregon Coast a few weeks back and stayed at the Hallmark right in front of Haystack rock, so that was fun to see. Also love all the Melin gear, I might be more addicted to Melin hats than Instagram now 😂

    I loved this. Loved the self-reflection, the honesty, the perspective, and the way you helped us feel through the journey with you. Maybe it’s the algorithms, but watching this is almost serendipitous for me. I was just musing with a friend yesterday about how our brains are not evolved to handle to constant bombardment of echo-chamber content and bad news. The steady stream leaves me feeling exhausted, angry and fearful most days. He encouraged me to remove my news widgets and unnecessary notifications. It feels like I’m weaning off a drug, but in just 24 hours I notice myself feeling more at peace and with greater bandwidth. Just got the AWU2 last week, so maybe it’s time to plan some hikes. At the same time, most of our can’t spend our lives off the grid. As inspired as I felt by your week-long trek, I would love if and how you’re maintaining a healthy disconnection in your day-to-day life.

    Agree 100%. That's the reason I am considering getting one. I am glad you brought it out to the world... It's a relatively big screen that can replace your phone for the important things and avoid part of the wasted time we spend on the phone... and this should ultimately reduce anxiety. Also the battery thing is real as well. Not having to worry about it reduces anxiety a bit gime, I always try to get the bigger phone, to get the bigger battery

    You very accurately describe my feeling of owning the Ultra watch. It is the feeling, the awareness of all that it can do, that it is so universal, and covers so many different aspects.
    That many people do not understand that the built-in apps are in many cases only intended for demonstration, and not the ultimate, and that the ultimate must be found in the APP store, it's such a shame for the watch, but it's just in the reason. people's misunderstanding. For example, built-in workouts may not be the best, but you can download so much else. The same applies to navigation, sailing, - yes, almost everything you can dream of. From Photo to Cars, from Astrology to Zoology.

    @keefyboy 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I had a first or second gen Apple Watch and got rid of it because it was adding distraction on top of my phone addiction/distractions. With new battery life in the Ultra, I came back to the watch, so I could leave my phone behind. Man, this is freeing and I even use theatre mode all the time to limit the 'screen lights up' distraction. As a Gen X'er, I grew up without the distraction of phones and this move has been a blessing that was actually easy to do. I love when I go out to dinner and someone asks me to check my phone for something. I just tell them I don't carry that. Plus, I don't have that stupid weight always in my pocket, that often gets in the way when squatting down to tie up shoes.

I do love the idea of leaving my iPhone at home more, 2 things holding me back, the loss of the camera app and also Apple Books app, I know I could switch to Apple Books audio but I do love the actual act of reading a book in my spare time.

    Terrific Video. Just got an apple watch Ultra yesterday ( upgraded from series 7) and i could not agree more.

    Yet another great video! Loved the intro. If you already edited the rest, you should upload it! SO about the phone thing: I'd also like to use my phone less, so if the investment really makes sense, I'd be willing to try a smartwatch. What I wonder is how much your screentime has gone down since you owned the watch. I'm afraid that it is just another screen I will look at, so rather more or similar screentime...

It’s gone down by like 65%. And because I still have concussion symptoms, I can definitely tell you I’ve noticed a huge change because my brain isn’t nearly as fried.

    Well done! Really enjoyed the video. I do have a some thoughts with a question regarding the ultra. I bought the Apple Watch SE for the same reason, to disconnect from my phone. However, after trying to leave my phone at home I’ve found several major drawbacks. First is the intermittent Bluetooth pairing with AirPods. It’s usually great, but sometimes it gets messed up and the only way to resolve is to re-pair through my phone. Also, many apps, such as music and podcasts are downloaded onto the watch through the phone. So the iPhone is still necessary as a central hub station that you interact with and must use on regular basis to keep your watch media up to date. I don’t use social media but still enjoy music and podcasts and talking on the phone. Have you ran into these issues on the ultra as well? What is your experience with disconnecting from the phone entirely?

    I like you're style Brandon - I only came across the quote "Comparison is the thief of Joy" yesterday! and it's so very very true. Since pondering that, and learning how to just be thankful for what I have, I now have a peace within that relaxes me in a way nothing else could. I have the normal Apple Watch and can wear it a day and a bit without charging whilst still using it for all my payments etc, not sure if it's just the newer versions that are better. I'll probably go the Ultra when they release a significant update.

    Loved this video! I agree with literally everything you said about what this watch does for you, albeit I could do a better job not taking my phone every where when I have the watch on. It's a great way to disconnect for sure. On my long runs, it feels good to not have my phone and not be paranoid about having the family back at home not be able to get ahold of me if they needed. The ultra is the first Apple Watch that I've gotten the cellular plan connected. Great job with this video again!

    Awesome video! I recently got the S9 cellular (upgrade from S4 GPS) but right until I was standing in the store I was debating the Ultra 2. I don't have any regrets, but if I had seen this video before buying it may have swayed me the other direction. I love having a watch with cellular capabilities though. I feel like 99% of what you said in this video applies to me as well (other than the Ultra battery life & added durability). I'm trying to make an effort to leave my phone behind more often. My only gripe is that there's no dedicated WhatsApp Apple Watch App so I still have to rely on my phone to be near by for that.

I can't tell my kids to do things I wouldn't be willing to do myself. I have been researching dumbphones like crazy, and then I ran across your video. the iWatch is the way to go. it has everything I need, and nothing I don't. I am gonna be picking one up as soon as I can.

    Same reason I upgraded from the Series 8 to Apple Watch Ultra 2. For the longest time I didn’t want to pay for cellular but now I’m really seeing the value. As for the phone, I deleted social media apps because it was too addicting. Instead, I occasionally use social media through the browser on my computer, most just to keep in touch with a few people who still message me there.

I can leave my phone at home. I can get email, text calls, music etc. minus what appears to be some awesome navigation on the Ultra. Could you have not "Disconnected" with an earlier version?

    Great vid! I've got the Ultra and the only thing I lack is a native hiking map on the watch to use in the EU. I tried a third party app that included a map on the watch but did not like it and it was sub based. I've used Komoot for ages and I love it, but when used on the watch, it needs connection to the phone and there is no map view on the watch. Thus, I still need the phone, especially for navigating using Komoot maps and sometimes the Strava global heat map. How did you get around this issue? How did you navigate in the forest for example?
