Its nice when new but it scratches easily. Reddit already has posts showing the raw titanium showing underneath the black coating due to scratches and scuffs.
I bought this watch recently and I absolutely love it. Never run out of power even on days I’m flying and don’t have a chance to top it off. I got it with the black ocean band and I don’t regret it but I wanted something to dress it up a little so I looked at the black Milanese titanium band but was on the fence. While 199 isn’t huge in today’s economy it’s still significant. You helped me make my choice to get it, so thanks. It looks just the right amount of nice for an evening out that’s dressy but not formal if you get what I’m saying. My only complaint is the 6 weeks to get it shipped.
I was tempted to get this to replace my "EOL" SSS4, but there were two things that pushed me towards a refurbished SSS9. I work with my hands in a lot of confined spaces and since there's really no way to tell how well that finish will hold up, I'm fairly certain it would look tattered within a week. Second, its still the second generation of the AWU with last year's chipset. I figured if the most attractive option still has last year's chip I may as well just stick with a known quantity of stainless steel and sapphire crystal. Saved myself $200 in comparison.
I'm on the Ultra 1 too. Can't wait for the Ultra 3. Still love my Ultra 1 but I do get annoyed with how slow Siri can be sometimes and often fails if the internet connection is not good.
Definitely think the off angle viewing improvement is more noticeable with the earlier series of Apple Watch, rather than the more recent models, and I think this is what Apple are referring to with the 40 percent better viewing angle they mention. I couldn't really notice any difference between the Series 10 and the Ultra 2 side by side views. Lovely loop the titanium. I looked at it in the natural colour and it looked beautiful, and I preferred it over the black.
I love mine, it just feels like a watch. Battery life is insane and the Milanese loop… could’ve gone without it. It doesn’t add a lot of weight though and great for all occasions.
This would be my first Apple Watch purchase (if I do this year) & I still can't make up my mind whether I want the Ultra 2 (the battery life - love battery - since I would be using it to track day movements & sleeping at night too) or if I want to go with the Series 10, which is slim in size since I am a woman & have a small wrist.
Always liked the look of the metal band decided to try it back in a day but once tried it quickly sent it back. It digs into the wrist and pulls on hair time to time. Was really uncomfortable for me
As a fellow guy with sufficient hair on my wrist and lower arm, thank you for commenting on the comfort of the band. I purchased the AW10 in black titanium and ordered the Slate Link Bracelet in order to avoid the band from ripping out any hair while looking great with the watch. I ordered late so I still have a few weeks before they arrive and I am crossing my fingers on the band being hair friendly!
The black looks good! but I think the ultra 1 in titanium has a more eye catching iconic appearance- and if you can find a refurbished ultra OG, it’s a tonne cheaper for 95% of what you get with the ultra 2
I waited two years for a black Watch Ultra. It was worth it, it's exactly what I wanted! For me, the black Ultra 2 looks much better than the silver one. The display edge alone is hardly noticeable. The Titan Milanese Band is in combination with the Ultra 2, just brilliant. I've been wearing the black Ultra 2 every day since 20.09.24, and wouldn't want to exchange it for another watch!
@@DetroitLimey No, 17 days! I don't understand your problem? Are you looking for an excuse why the black ultra doesn't look better than your silver one? 👍🏻
Would have been cool to make the charging cord Black also. I hope somewhere down the line we will get the oxygen back. I still have on OG ultra in case I need that part of it.
The black looks good! but I think the ultra 1 in titanium has a more eye catching iconic appearance- and if you can find a refurbished ultra OG, it’s a tonne cheaper for 95% of what you get with the ultra 2 - use the extra money saved and buy a quality generic titanium Milanese loop band for it
I'm still rocking the Ultra 1. I'm holding out for the Ultra 3 and I can't wait. I still prefer the natural titanium design. The black looks nice but it will quickly look bad as soon as the black finish gets scratched. Yes it is tough but it is not invincible and I actually use my watch for outdoor activities such as mountain biking, hiking etc. I am careful with it but accidents do happen.
Still have my Watch Series 2👀. This looks fantastic but being a processor behind from I guy left behind years ago raised my eyebrow. Having a sensor not used with no future is not ideal. I like the understated look. Seeing people with the bright orange band was like wearing a bull-horn for the natural titanium. Having reached the age of needing readers; this has me not as interested but for battery longevity the bigger battery for less cycle counts is what interests me. Not a hiker but I love the idea of not getting lost when used properly. Great review as always. 14:44
Great to see you got the black ultra2 for you collection Aaron I traded in the ultra2 for the black version on launch, love it, currently running the trail loop as the Milanese was out of stock at launch here in uk but luckily I have just bagged a store pickup today lucky, home delivery here is still around 6 weeks. Tks for the video, see you in the next one.
Looks awesome i black, but not good enough to pay $800 just to get black. I’ll stick to my current Apple Watch Ultra until they make significant upgrades.
Do you find the metal mesh strap pulling on your arm hair now you’ve used it for a few days? Common complaint hence watch manufacturers especially high end ones have such solid bracelets or go for leather/rubber strap.
@@zollotech not true. My 13 pro max was never as good as it was when it first came out with new battery. iOS update ruined battery of it. It’s more demanding on battery
I'm confused about the AirPods settings on watchOS 11. Usually, when I'm walking, I wear my AirPods and set the mode to Adaptive instead of Noise Cancellation. I don’t like Transparency mode, so I always use Adaptive mode. Now, I can't find that setting. Before, if I'm not mistaken, it was in the upper right when playing music, but now it's gone. Am I missing something?
I wanted this new black titanium Milanese loop for my new Slate Series 10 Titanium but my local Apple Store was sold out of that so I ended up just getting the Slate Stainless Steel Milanese Loop with my new Series 10. The lugs match pretty much spot on which is nice despite the differences in materials between the watch and strap!

На сколько практичен черный? Появляются ли на корпусе царапины и на сколько они заметны? Как с браслетом - со временем останется черным или появятся светлые участки - потертости? Стоит выбор между черным на черном или серебристые на серебристом марсельском браслете. How practical is black? Do scratches appear on the body and how noticeable are they? How about the bracelet - will it remain black over time or will light areas appear - abrasions? The choice is between black on black or silver on a silver Marseille bracelet. Thanks for video!
It’s not really aimed at anyone specifically. However, I was the first to offer them free and many people followed, and then started charging for them.
The Digital Crown on the Ultra 2 is way too sensitive. It keeps bringing up Smart Stack whenever I have a long sleeve on. The first AWU had a more stiff crown and this never was an issue.
More relevant information that convinces me that the 10 is a better choice for most of us. There isn’t an extra $400 of value in the Ultra 2, unless you happen to be a scuba diver. TY AZ!
I was shocked when I first set up the Black Ultra 2 how quickly it synced up... going back through the years, I remember the first Apple Watch took about 30+min to sync!
Thank you for showing how the new band looks with the titanium model. And all your videos
Loving my black Apple Watch Ultra 2. I only got the trail loop band in black.
@@mattd8670 trail loop looks like it can hold up.
thats what I have too, I love how easy it is to put on
It looks so much better in black🔥🔥
Scratches so easily that it will be neutral titanium by the end of the year!
Its nice when new but it scratches easily. Reddit already has posts showing the raw titanium showing underneath the black coating due to scratches and scuffs.
@@Enivokeit’s a DLC coating, highly doubt you’d get anything aside from intentional scratches from a razor.
I got this setup on Sunday. Came from the Ultra 1. Love the new look and this Milanese band is my favorite apple band I’ve purchased to date.

Still rocking the OG Ultra Watch...
Same
But watchos11 ruined the battery life by 10h (lost) for me
Same here. Still going strong.
Can the og ones do the double tap gesture ?
@smallvillesupreme6136 no, if it didn’t come with it, they didn’t add it
This is by far the best color on the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and the Jet Black Series 10 as well. Nice review Aaron!

Wow the black version looks so cool! Much better than the original colour of the Ultra
That is one gorgeous finish 💣
Going to stick with my natural titanium Ultra 2 for now.
Been happy with the rate the Ultra has been getting updated. I still have an Ultra 1 and think next year will be the time to upgrade
I'm on the Ultra 1 too. Can't wait for the Ultra 3. Still love my Ultra 1 but I do get annoyed with how slow Siri can be sometimes and often fails if the internet connection is not good.

Très bon choix madame👍🇫🇷
I’m going to wait till next year. Give myself something to look forward to. Excellent unboxing!
cool video. i just got my black ultra 2 couple days ago and i love it
Always liked the look of the metal band decided to try it back in a day but once tried it quickly sent it back. It digs into the wrist and pulls on hair time to time.
Was really uncomfortable for me
Still got my Apple Watch SE 😂
Same, my series 10 is coming in next week though
@@appleztooranges i just bought it last week and I’m satisfied with it
Same bro, sad that it only got 4 years of updates
It’s still flawless I’m assuming lol
Same. Does everything I need it to do
Really tempted to replace my Ultra 1 with one of these. I'll be interested in seeing how well the black finish holds up first though.
It scratches easily, I’ve tested it at the Apple Store

Great video , love the detailed looks at the band
Ultra black is sick jumped from gen 1 glad I waited although sent it back as the strap kept pinching my hair got the black trail loop instead.

the milanese band looks too feminine
It looks amazing till they get scratched up. The natural titanium hides scratches and dings better
@@DetroitLimey Nothing scratched up..I've hit the watch a few times. Nothing is visible.
@@DerSchweiz3r It’s 1 month old not 1-2 years👍🏻
@@DetroitLimey No, 17 days! I don't understand your problem? Are you looking for an excuse why the black ultra doesn't look better than your silver one? 👍🏻
Will you do a review/comparison of the natural titanium band?
Love the black look.

I just bought the ultra2 black with the black and titanium band
I have just purchased this beautiful Ultra 2 watch and the Milanese loop. Thank you for your tutorial video on how to adjust the adjustment clap!
Thanks I just ordered I will keep this one till battery dies!!
which ones is better hard to choice , series 10 jet black or ultra 2 black ?
It took 2 years for apple to decide let’s give customers black version instead AWU 3 😂
You do know they had to figure out how to make it durable right🤔. Y’all just love talking 💩 and don’t think 😆
My initials are AZ as well; really weird seeing for the first time
I got the Watch black ultra and the slate 10 also. They complement each other very well 👌

Très bonne montre..encore pour 2 ans😉😁👍🇫🇷
At minute 8:41 the border seems scratched on the upper left corner or is it dust?
I love the brand new titanium loop with my 1 years old ultra 2 😊
Awesome content. What band are you using on your natural titanium watch? Thank you
I love Apple products but too bad cause I can't afford them 😅
Hope to try the apple ecosystem one day 12:01
Thank you sooooo much for making this video!!!
Looks awesome i black, but not good enough to pay $800 just to get black. I’ll stick to my current Apple Watch Ultra until they make significant upgrades.
Good luck getting that band! Sold out😊
This channel is always pretty great. Good looks on explaining things like the lumy app.
does this band work with Apple watch 10 as well?
I got the same and the loop tugs on hair so im staying with my nomad band
Nice looking band I like it
Thanks for sharing. Nice color. Blessings on your day.
Keep it up Aaron My Man 👍👍👍👍👍
Was planing to exchange my series 7 titanium for that one, but just the color changed! She even didn’t get the new series 10 soc 😮
Great video Aaron ❤😊
my choice of preference would Slate titanium with the titanium milanese loop
Do you find the metal mesh strap pulling on your arm hair now you’ve used it for a few days? Common complaint hence watch manufacturers especially high end ones have such solid bracelets or go for leather/rubber strap.
what size of band u got on the milanese for ultra and what size is your wrist?
I just traded my ultra Watch 1 in for this one. That was the longest I’ve held a watch since Apple start making them. Two years!!!!
I'm thinking about doing the same because I always wanted it in black. How much credit did you get for the U1?
Might upgrade to the 10 from my series 6, the battery is at 76% capacity and it’s annoying sometimes how quickly it runs out
Wish they could make iPhones last as longer as apple watches.
They do as long as you replace the batteries in a couple years
@@zollotech not true. My 13 pro max was never as good as it was when it first came out with new battery. iOS update ruined battery of it. It’s more demanding on battery
Makes no sense as your phone does much more than your watch. iPhones have some of the best battery life in the market, can’t have everything
Do you think it’s worth it to upgrade from the Apple Watch Ultra one?
Just for a new color ? No
Only difference is color
Bonjour ..sa dépend de votre ancien modèle…sinon ..oui..😁😉👍🇫🇷
AWU2 Natural going strong. Black is nice looking but definitely not worth upgrading and that $200 price tag for the band, yikes 😬

I’m still using my Ultra 1, so far nothing has persuaded me to update though I do like the black. I’ll wait for the Ultra 3
Same, still w the OG ultra. The black looks killer in real life, but no way I'm paying over $400 (with trade in) just for a different color
I’d like to see the black Nomad TI bracket on this new black Ultra2
Will that band fit the 46mm Apple 10 watch?
Looking forward to your review on paint durability. I’ve seen some say it’s not holding up very well.

They still don’t have a usable O2 sensor?
Get ready for scratches. Seen too many of them already scratched!
Why the band has to be connected the way it shows? I like the longer part to be from inside, they should put that can go either way.
so it looks best
@ but it doesn’t it look better the other way
You're using a Red Komodo! I was wondering why the video looks so good.
Does it have the blood oxygen app working if you buy it in Canada??
Beautifully done bracelet
The Digital Crown on the Ultra 2 is way too sensitive. It keeps bringing up Smart Stack whenever I have a long sleeve on. The first AWU had a more stiff crown and this never was an issue.
I hated the “space gray” Apple Watch and remember when I got the premium titanium. And Apple Watch natural looks better than this one too IMO
Nice video
screen already got scratched after 2 days, returned and pending for exchange😢
Ios 18.0.1 just got released
Will that band work on a series 10? I guess it doesn't come in gold? You don't have to set up cellular if you don't want the extra charges?
Technically, the band would work on series 10, but no it does not come in gold. No you don’t have to use cellular if you don’t want to.
More relevant information that convinces me that the 10 is a better choice for most of us. There isn’t an extra $400 of value in the Ultra 2, unless you happen to be a scuba diver. TY AZ!
Or if you just want an amazing battery and rugged watch!
Well, the titanium color band fit the ultra one or only the new watches
Ultra a priori
Do you find the Loop to be too thin or did they make it wider so that it works better with the bulk of the Ultra?
I think it looks wide enough for the ultra
@@zollotech Good to know, thank you sir 👍
Seeing the Apple Watch 10 I think the borders of the Ultra look too thick.
I am waiting for the Ultra Series 3!
I think I should til Apple Watch Ultra 3
I was shocked when I first set up the Black Ultra 2 how quickly it synced up... going back through the years, I remember the first Apple Watch took about 30+min to sync!
Bonjour ..c’était une autre époque😉🤣🤣😁👍🇫🇷
Never had Apple Watch is it worth the investment?
Bonjour sincèrement oui😉🇫🇷👍
Not really expensive. Merely at the same price bracket with a decent Hamilton, Seiko or Certina. And they lasts about the same 3-4 years 😅
So torn between the natural or the black! 🤯🤔
Black is awesome 🙌🏻
Just return it after
I would have upgraded if it had the blood oxygen sensor.
