The visual difference to tell them apart is at 2:50 where you can see the older model has a smaller opening for the wheel. Could just be the way it's sitting but that's the only thing I can tell that's actually different looking.
Same here Amazon has them cheap, found a “renewed” one and it came looking very brand new zero scratches or dents with 100% battery health and original bands. For $489. I like it it’s nice
I found a used Ultra 1 in Akihabara for about the same, converted I think it was $415, can't complain at all! I probably wouldn't have bought it new but at that price there's no reason not to get it over the 10.
I’m really torn which model I want. A part of me doesn’t justify the price for the ultra 2 when it’s very very close to the first generation. But at the same time I like the idea of purchasing the ‘new’ model.
If you have the ultra 1 already I wouldn't upgrade, but if you have one of the much older series I'd get the ultra 2 - my ultra 1 is a year old now and still does exactly what I need it to do perfectly
Fun fact the “quick action” feature has been out for years, apple just started to advertise it now for some reason but you should be able to use it on almost all Apple Watches.
They have brilliant marketing. They can easily sell you the same product you bought last year again this year simply claiming the inner parts and the new features are upgraded. In reality, they update their whole operating system and occasionally add a few hardware changes to keep the scam going
Same I have the series 4 but I ran a couple races and realized that my watch has my minute per mile pace about 20-30 seconds higher than what I’m actually running 😅
I watched the Event yesterday specifically for the watches. I’m confused about their narrative on the Ultra 2 so I appreciate any relies to clarify. Amazon has been selling an Ultra2 for a while. The Event launched the fancy black one so other than color how is it different than the currently for sale Ultra2s? Follow up question if there are differences like a diff chip are those worth it? I’ll be switching from a cellular 6 because of battery life. TIA!
Even with AppleCare? If you purchased with a CC, your CC carrier could have an additional warranty on it. Could try that route. I’ve had mine since launch, heavy use daily and I still get about 86 hours on each battery cycle. Updated the firmware too I’d imagine?
I think you should just bypass the first 2 minutes and get right into the details on the differences. That's why we are here. I could care less about the packaging and what comes with - so I usually have to skip over the typical standard unboxing process because it's non value added pertaining to the title. I mean there are a plethora of videos on TH-cam walking us through the differences, the quicker I can get to the value add the more chances I will stay and watch or come back for other content. So in other words - just cut to the chase and get to the good stuff. You can move that other unpacking visuals (for those Christmas unwrapping gift lovers) towards the end. Much appreciations.
Great breakdown on the key differences between the two watches. I'm still using my Apple Watch Series 4 from 2019 and the Ultra 2 looks like an amazing watch upgrade.
Was just trying to win an auction for an open box Ultra 1. Lost the auction but won an auction for the Ultra 2 at only $80 more, $400 total. I'll try it out and if I don't like it, I can sell it for a nice profit.
You won't need your iPhone nearby to interact with Siri if its a command that does not require an internet connection (ex: start a workout, set a timer, etc) Previous Apple Watches need to have an internet connection to process these type of commands.
@@IIIxj I finally ordered the ultra 2 straight from Apple. Was a little upset that the new series came out as soon as I ordered mine but I’m happy with the purchase.
I will say that I charge it every two days and it lasts, I’m usually operating on low battery mode since I’m constantly at work and can’t be on my phone. I wish the speaker for phone calls was a bit louder but it gets the job done.
Hi man! do u notice some much the difference about brightness under the sun between the 2 products? and in a room, is there difference, or just under the sun? thanks
Ultra 2 is significantly brighter. But the Ultra 1 is very readable in all lighting conditions without any issue. I’ve had the 1 since launch and it’s still going strong.
I found the Apple Watch Ultra 1 for $600, it's open-box excellent condition though. I think I'll do it. I got my iPad open box excellent condition and it's been flawless. Edit: I currently don't have a watch at all.
Thanks for your thoughts! I have the Series 8 and am thinking of upgrading. I'll probably go with the 1 since I see nothing (not even so-called future proofing) to justify the price bump. Samsung's similarly priced Ultra (compared to the 1) is enticing but I tend to use the Apple ecosystem with my Windows devices providing the flexibility for gaming; so no brainer there!
I upgraded my U1 to the U2 and have no regrets. Why? I think we’re beginning to see what Apple is doing in terms of innovation and I think it’s clear that the Watch has pretty much developed as far as it’s going to go. Don’t get me wrong, there will be minor additions like blood pressure and maybe even eventually blood glucose readings. These will likely be general readings as in your glucose is increasing/decreasing, etc. without giving actual numbers. These are helpful but very limited. This being the case, I'm not sure there's going to be any new "I've got to get a new Apple Watch!" Going forward. As a result of this I decided to get the U2 because of the new chip and 64GB of storage and let this be my final Apple Watch for the duration. At least until there’s a real reason to upgrade. I was given $410 for my U1 which reduced my cost for the U2 by half. The new chip will future proof the U2 for quite awhile and concerning performance, it’s a watch…it does all the current functions very well and does it’s main function, it tells time! Because the battery is so good, I find I can leave my iPhone 13Mini at home and just take my U2! I do wish it would connect to CarPlay but maybe someday it will. The U2 also gets a brighter screen though the U1 was bright enough. In short, the U2 is an upgrade though not a dramatic one but if like me you plan on sticking with an Ultra, then the U2 is the one to be stuck with! U2 for the duration!
I had the same train of thought as yours. I was thinking of buying a new AW and was torn between the U1 and U2 because of the price difference. I ultimately chose the U2 because of the On-device Siri (same as latest iPhone Pros), right now it sounds silly but with the upcoming Apple’s AI updates that requires that chip to work, the U2 feels future proofing.
At the moment very minimal lol but when I do use it for working out, I could do at least two 30-60 min workouts and about 36 hours later I’d be at ~20% or less
I ended up getting the ultra 475$ looks brand new. I had the series 7 givin it to my partner. Currently own the Gear 6 really dislike it. Very pleased with my Ultra 1
JBTech, you never mentioned anything about the Blood Oxygen Saturation feature. I think that’s something people who may have a medical condition should know, If they were to purchase either type of watch. Don’t you think?
I think that feature is on series 8 and a few 9s only because of the lawsuit with the patent holder. It doesn’t appear to be settled yet since Apple didn’t mention it at the Event as part of the Health lineup. Hope this helps
It holds up well. I have the Ultra 1 and I work construction and bang it all the time. Very minor surfaces scratches that aren’t even noticeable unless you stare super hard and even then it’s almost unnoticeable
its not worth it compared too the original ultra, especially since sp02 was removed. i did get one since im coming from garmin and my old android watches are incompatiable
@@JBTech17what is the difference between the ultra2 you have and the new ultra2 black one - just color or do all the ultra2s that are released sept20 have the new chip? I am assuming all the AI features advertised at the Efent will come on any compatible watch with ios18 when that launches but please correct. Thanks!
It is crazy how Apple didn't think about solar power on their watches .. i enjoy that tech in my Protrek Casio watch since 2013 to this day. The fact you don't think about charging your watch battery is a the real "Big Plus" for me.
I have an ultra 1. No issues for vision under daylight whatsoever, 2000 nits is bright enough and it’s actually the max brightness an iphone can display… OS is smooth and never lags… don’t need a fast processor on a watch just for notifications and heart monitor/training apps. Siri? Let’s talk about it when it will work properly. Upgrade is just not worth unless you have money to waste. The only way i see an ultra 2 is an upgrade from an AW 4/5 with a very good deal

I’m still rocking the Apple Watch series 4 since 2018 when it came out
That's what I have now, I bought a used stainless steel for $180 in 2020 to replace my OG Apple Watch from 2015 after the screen started falling off.

Found it! Its lumy and its pretty expensive for what it does but looks really cool so I bought it. 😂
