The only downside to this comparison was your statement on the stainless steel variants being "...for the looks..." - the Stainless Steel has the added benefit of being a Sapphire Crystal display instead of the regular glass of the Aluminium watches. You get the polished looks, but the glass is SO much more durable it's def. worth mentioning. I had a Series 5 SS and it was incredibly scratch resistent.
Yeah, same. My mom saw me looking for a replacement watch band for my Garmin, and she kinda asked me if I wanted a new watch. The screen is a bit cracked on one of mine and the bands break a ton, but I mostly use it for time during tests and work, so a smartwatch isn’t super appealing, especially with the battery life. I think I’ll just stick with my sports watch
I've had the Nike series 3 for about 4 years now. Worn it everyday through workouts, swimming, beaches, all types of environments. The screen is all scratched up due to the constant wear and tear and its finally slowing down on me. Screen is becoming less responsive and I think its finally time for an upgrade, especially considering how much I use it. I definitely think the temperature and spO2 monitors are a game changer for the series 9. You never know when you could use them. That was the only think that led me to choose the series 9 over the SE.
There is an alternative option that wasn't put in this video.. buying one of the older watches. The Apple Watch's CPU hasn't been upgraded since the Series 6, It has had the same battery capacity since the very beginning at 295mah, the Series 7 for example might have an S7 instead of an S8 chip, but they run practically the same and the Series 7 will give you more features than the SE and would cost less second hand than a brand new SE. It also has the fast charging that the Series 9 has and the SE lacks, which I think you really underplayed by saying it's slightly slower. It can charge to 100% in just over 1 hour, it takes nearly 2 hours for the SE to reach 100%. New isn't always best.
General consensus seems to be that the s9 offers not a lot over the S8, so if you can get a deal on the S8 get that rather than a 9. Will personally be waiting for the upgrade with blood sugar sensor, I think that's what is missing for me.
The more I look at smart watches the more I realize that my only need is to not have to take my phone out to see what time it is. So, I bought a basic Casio with solar for 45$. Couldn’t be happier. Has all the features I need but n a watch and the battery never runs out.
@@Pulpdiction1999 I can’t seem to find info on that. Not sure how it would be able to do that unless you connect to a glucose monitor with app. But not directly with watch.

Sounds like you need to experience what healthcare is actually like outside the US. So sad that a “free” smart watch it enough to get you to discourage the US health care system that many people travel to the states because they can’t get the care they need elsewhere. SMH
@@Danarchy3who is traveling to the States for care? That must be a very niche group of people who have major bank accounts. I’ve been to a lot of countries and the only down side I’ve seen with my own eyes is slow ambulance response is. Otherwise, there is decent care in many places. But then I learnt some states/cities/areas in the US don’t have regulations on ambulance arriving within a time frame. More expensive doesn’t mean better care.
Got ultra 1 this year and … blimey, the visual difference in comparison to my old black series 8 is huge. It looks like a watch, not a … toy, but that might be because I have always liked bigger, slightly rugged silver watches, which is a bit of shocker considering I have a 13 mini and no plans to change it until software supports tun out.
If I currently have a Series 8, is it worth the upgrade to the Ultra 2? I want something more rugged and something that can handle more outdoor activities.
Me personally I would recommend the Series 9 because unlike the SE, it has way more health features than just the heart tracking. If you’re on a budget and you want all the health features that the Series 9 has, just get a Galaxy Watch. It’s way cheaper and they are extremely underrated.
Any opinions on audio recording capabilities across all of the models? I’m a stand-up comedian and I anticipate wearing and using the smart watch every night when I perform having it record between 5 to 15 minutes per night. I would appreciate any input, thank you!

I am going from an oppo x2 lite and original galaxy watch to an iphone 15 plus and an SE this saturday. The watches heart sensor and sleep tracking on the Galaxy is useless and this is the main reason I am going over to Apple, I am looking forward to a total geek out on Saturday learning the ins and outs of Apple and setting it all up, even bought a bathroom scale to match.
Choosing the right Apple Watch depends on several factors including your budget, the features you need, and your personal style preferences. Here’s a brief overview to help you decide: 1. Apple Watch Series 7: Offers a larger, more durable display and faster charging. Ideal if you want the latest tech and don’t mind spending more. 2. Apple Watch SE: A more affordable option with many of the core features of the higher-end models. Great for those who want a balance between functionality and price. 3. Apple Watch Series 3: The most budget-friendly option, but lacks some of the newer features and design improvements. Suitable for basic use. Consider these factors: • Budget: Decide how much you’re willing to spend. • Usage: Think about how you’ll use the watch (fitness tracking, health monitoring, connectivity, etc.). • Compatibility: Ensure the watch is compatible with your iPhone model. • Design and Size: Choose a design and size that fits your wrist and style preferences. • Health Features: If you’re interested in health tracking, consider models with more advanced health features like ECG and blood oxygen monitoring. Remember, newer models generally offer more features and better performance but come at a higher cost. It’s a balance between what you need, what you want, and what you’re willing to spend.
I do like my SE2, only problem is the battery life using the watch as gps when playing golf. And a fully charged watch is drained entirely after 4.5 hours. That is disappointing.
Regardless of the features, Apple watches have far poorer battery “range” than just about any other watch. I don’t want to have to charge my every day or two (are there any Apple watches that’ll go two days?). When they make a watch that’ll run a week, I’ll give them a look.
Simple question maybe, I’ve always had GPS only watch - with LTE, does the watch have a separate number? Would one’s phone auto direct calls to watch if not close by?
I think the best option for you is to go to the nearest Apple Store or any other electronics store and try different watches yourself because it’s hard to say what will fit you best. 😉
I’ve owned the 45mm Series 7 in stainless steel, gold finish, until recently for maybe a year and a half. I was perfectly happy with it and could’ve kept it for another while but I upgraded anyway because of the quite tempting price of the first generation Ultra on Amazon. First I wasn’t sure if that’s going to be the right decision since it’s lacking some new specs, but then my thought process was as follows: The Ultra is still going to be one generation ahead of my previous watch, it’s still going to feel like an upgrade going from 45mm to Ultra (especially battery, different design and the screen may not be quite as bright as Ultra 2 but brighter than Series 7 plus new exclusive watch faces) and thankfully the cheapest option on Amazon came with a band I could live with at a great price point (original price 999€, Amazon price with Alpine Loop size M was 704€). I couldn’t justify paying almost 200€ more for just a few features in a watch that looks exactly the same as the one I ended up getting.
Since i now have an iphone i was thinking of going from an android watch to an apple one. I was surprised that even with the latest Apple watches that the battery only lasts a couple of days. My android watch only needs charging every 3 weeks!!. What is wrong with apple batteries that they run down so quick? I thought apple is supposed to be the cutting edge of technology? Reply
My first Apple Watch was a used series 8 and very much loved it but, just sold it as got fed up with charging it every day, now waring my used Corros Apex 2 and ohh the battery lasts so long, I’m temped to buy a used Ultra or Ultra 2 for the longer battery compared to to the Apple 8 😳
This is exactly the video I needed. I would also like to point out how handy that little bar within each section of the video was for my attention span. Neat style choice.
So do these allow me to leave my phone at home? I’d love to be able to work and not haven’t phone on my person . My pants and gun belt etc weigh me down already
@@ChrisCross-k2l I think if you get the GPS version you can, I assume you will need a SIM card for the watch though too. Of course this is more expensive too.
Great comparison video! It's worth noting that on the AW Ultra, only the Ultra-tailored watch faces, Wayfinder and Modular Ultra, have the night-mode feature (as far as I can tell!). Otherwise, great video! I love my AW Ultra 2, gamechanger for someone who's never had an Apple Watch. :)
Hi Pete, The face of my iWatch is coming loose and before I check to see if it can be glued back on, I thought I would look to see if it’s worth buying a new watch. I stumbled across your video which I found interesting, however, I’m not entirely clear which model to buy, assuming the face on mine cannot be glued back on. My watch is the version 4.3.2 and when I looked on the Apple trade in, it simply said your watch is due for recycling, which I guess is basically saying it’s worthless. All I want is an iWatch with all the features of my current iWatch in stainless steel, I like the shiny look. In summary, I’m simply looking for a replacement for my current iWatch with the same features.
I’m just starting to look into buying an Apple Watch. I just want to say how very useful and informative this video has been for me. Thank you! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber.
Thanks, you talked me into not buying one. I’ll stick with a cheapo analog one at $15.00 that does what I need it to… keep fairly accurate time. Cheers!
@@NourMoghrabi If you’re on the most up to date operating system of IOS on your devices, you will not get an audio notification on both your phone and watch. Apple has made it so if you have a watch connected to a phone and that phone is locked, the notification goes to your watch. You will get the notification on the Lock Screen, but there is no sound via phone.
I currently have the Apple Watch Series 5 WiFi only and honestly I think I want to upgrade to a series 9 with the cellular version bc I want to leave my phone home sometimes just to run to the store or the fear of getting robbed for my phone 🤷🏾♂️lol… thank you for this video definetly helped me a lot . ❤️
Apple Watches in my opinion are only worth buying IF YOU WORK OUT A LOT. I am a runner and using an Apple Watch instead of a phone is amazing. It is able to track where I run, how fast I’m going, and how many miles I run all without being connected to my phone or the internet. You can see other health related stats like calories, steps etc. of course it’s helpful getting notifications straight from your wrist but if you are not using it to work out I do not recommend. Trust me.
I got the ultra 2 love it all the previous generations look identical All the way to the series 9 even the £1200 one looks identical The watch ultra 1 or 2 looks so different stands out I’m happy 100 percent
Hey, Thanks for this amazing overview! Very helpful. I noticed that you have oura’s ring. I am planning to buy apply watch series 9 but recently have gotten confused if I should go with the ring. I am also doing a cost analysis as the ring will be costly as I have to take the subscription. I am not into the features like double tap and have simple use cases like fitness/sleep tracking, blood oxygen etc. If you can share your opinion or the best thing would be to compare the ring and series 9 or ultra 🙌🏼😃
I have the generic TikTok version of an Apple Watch right now. I’m contemplating on getting an Apple SE 2nd edition OR the series 9. Is there a keyboard on the SE series?
@@nikkilewis3739 I have the series 3 for now. I was able to download the app FlickType. I just use the scribble or the mic for now. How does your mom like the SE 2nd Ed?
Switched from pixel to iPhone 15pro recently. My old Amazfit bip2 still works with it. It shows time, weather, notifications, the eink is always on and battery still lasts 45 days. Maybe i need to try, but i don’t see any feature of any Apple Watch that would be better than 45 days battery, sometimes even longer.
I think it depends if you want any of the more smart stuff that's in the watch. Navigation, Siri, replying to messages, find my device etc - Not everyone needs a computer on their wrist though!
@@PeteMatheson that's true. however the iphone itself does it better and nicer than the watch. Iphone is nice to pay with, to use siri, respond to messages... etc... Find my device - recently I couldn't find my iphone, and I asked google nest to find it. It found it :) For my case I'm not convinced to exchange 2 months battery life to mildly duplicated iphone's features on the watch.
In my opinion you also glanced over the wear and tear over the years where the cheaper S9 can be greatly scratched and chipped in a years time. The more expensive S9 not as much and the U2 protects the glass even more. Going on from the idea to atleast use the device for 5-7 years I think it’s worth the price? But please change my mind
It really depends, because if you get the base one, and it gets beat up and damaged, you can literally buy a new watch with the money you saved by not getting the stainless steel. Double the price is only really worth it if you get way more than double the life, otherewise you could get the cheaper one with a refresh half way.
I have zero knowledge about those watches but going to get the s9/ultra1/2 as my first, I’m definitely not an athlete, maximum is running, but want a decent battery, if someone can help on what to get it’ll be great:) Very informative review tho🙏
I have a few apple watches all stainless steel (series 0,2 &4) and a £20 series 1 aluminium (i got this to practice changing the battery on) I care way more about the case material than core functions as all of them do what i need and now I can swap out my own batteries, no way am I upgrading to a series 9 for quite some time, in fact only drooling over a series 5 stainless because how cheap they are now and they all have sapphire glass
I upgraded from the series 6 to ultra 2 I get an upgrade bc I get my Apple Watches from my carrier and I pay monthly installments on them as well as my new IPhone 15!
The only downside to this comparison was your statement on the stainless steel variants being "...for the looks..." - the Stainless Steel has the added benefit of being a Sapphire Crystal display instead of the regular glass of the Aluminium watches.
You get the polished looks, but the glass is SO much more durable it's def. worth mentioning.

Choosing the right Apple Watch depends on several factors including your budget, the features you need, and your personal style preferences. Here’s a brief overview to help you decide:
1. Apple Watch Series 7: Offers a larger, more durable display and faster charging. Ideal if you want the latest tech and don’t mind spending more.
2. Apple Watch SE: A more affordable option with many of the core features of the higher-end models. Great for those who want a balance between functionality and price.
3. Apple Watch Series 3: The most budget-friendly option, but lacks some of the newer features and design improvements. Suitable for basic use.
Consider these factors:
• Budget: Decide how much you’re willing to spend.
• Usage: Think about how you’ll use the watch (fitness tracking, health monitoring, connectivity, etc.).
• Compatibility: Ensure the watch is compatible with your iPhone model.
• Design and Size: Choose a design and size that fits your wrist and style preferences.
• Health Features: If you’re interested in health tracking, consider models with more advanced health features like ECG and blood oxygen monitoring.
Remember, newer models generally offer more features and better performance but come at a higher cost. It’s a balance between what you need, what you want, and what you’re willing to spend.

My watch is the version 4.3.2 and when I looked on the Apple trade in, it simply said your watch is due for recycling, which I guess is basically saying it’s worthless. All I want is an iWatch with all the features of my current iWatch in stainless steel, I like the shiny look. In summary, I’m simply looking for a replacement for my current iWatch with the same features.
I have the Series 9
I’m just starting to look into buying an Apple Watch. I just want to say how very useful and informative this video has been for me. Thank you! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber.
I think apple has to fix the prices according to the battery life. It will be more useful
I got a renewed Apple Watch 9 for $324 for a cellular one it arrives on Monday I’m so excited
Thanks, you talked me into not buying one. I’ll stick with a cheapo analog one at $15.00 that does what I need it to… keep fairly accurate time.
Cheers!
As a kid I’m getting a series 9 even though there is a series 10 now and the Ultra won’t even fit on my wrist the face will be to big 😂
This video was just what I needed to hear, thanks
first time im excited for a christmas gift in a LONGGGG time. im 22 now and feel like a kid😂
Me to and I’m 41
Tomorrow
What is the health strap you are wearing
Ah that’s the Whoop 👍🏼
The Apple Watch lost its appeal when they eliminated the ability to get notifications on both your phone and watch. It makes no sense.
Apple Watch still get notifications when I get it in the phone
@@NourMoghrabi If you’re on the most up to date operating system of IOS on your devices, you will not get an audio notification on both your phone and watch. Apple has made it so if you have a watch connected to a phone and that phone is locked, the notification goes to your watch. You will get the notification on the Lock Screen, but there is no sound via phone.
@@_jaber1 yea you right
Yes still have notif
I currently have the Apple Watch Series 5 WiFi only and honestly I think I want to upgrade to a series 9 with the cellular version bc I want to leave my phone home sometimes just to run to the store or the fear of getting robbed for my phone 🤷🏾♂️lol… thank you for this video definetly helped me a lot . ❤️
People are still stealing phones in 2024? Smh
Apple Watches in my opinion are only worth buying IF YOU WORK OUT A LOT. I am a runner and using an Apple Watch instead of a phone is amazing. It is able to track where I run, how fast I’m going, and how many miles I run all without being connected to my phone or the internet. You can see other health related stats like calories, steps etc. of course it’s helpful getting notifications straight from your wrist but if you are not using it to work out I do not recommend. Trust me.
"Thank you for the video. It is greatly appreciated."
10:26 yeah…. No one and a half at best. Unless you turn EVERYTHING OFF
Being American my mind IS blown, vitality is a great idea 🔥
I got the ultra 2 love it all the previous generations look identical
All the way to the series 9 even the £1200 one looks identical
The watch ultra 1 or 2 looks so different stands out I’m happy 100 percent
I hated apple watches when they first came out. It was mostly because of the squared face. Now almost a decade later, I’m actually considering one 😂
Hey,
Thanks for this amazing overview! Very helpful.
I noticed that you have oura’s ring. I am planning to buy apply watch series 9 but recently have gotten confused if I should go with the ring.
I am also doing a cost analysis as the ring will be costly as I have to take the subscription.
I am not into the features like double tap and have simple use cases like fitness/sleep tracking, blood oxygen etc.
If you can share your opinion or the best thing would be to compare the ring and series 9 or ultra 🙌🏼😃
My s7 better
I have the generic TikTok version of an Apple Watch right now. I’m contemplating on getting an Apple SE 2nd edition OR the series 9. Is there a keyboard on the SE series?
My mom has the SE, it doesn’t have a keyboard for texting.
@@nikkilewis3739 I have the series 3 for now. I was able to download the app FlickType. I just use the scribble or the mic for now. How does your mom like the SE 2nd Ed?
Switched from pixel to iPhone 15pro recently. My old Amazfit bip2 still works with it. It shows time, weather, notifications, the eink is always on and battery still lasts 45 days.
Maybe i need to try, but i don’t see any feature of any Apple Watch that would be better than 45 days battery, sometimes even longer.
I think it depends if you want any of the more smart stuff that's in the watch. Navigation, Siri, replying to messages, find my device etc -
Not everyone needs a computer on their wrist though!
@@PeteMatheson that's true. however the iphone itself does it better and nicer than the watch. Iphone is nice to pay with, to use siri, respond to messages... etc...
Find my device - recently I couldn't find my iphone, and I asked google nest to find it. It found it :)
For my case I'm not convinced to exchange 2 months battery life to mildly duplicated iphone's features on the watch.
The battery last for 45 days because it does less not to much going on so of course 🤦♀️🤷♀️
@@klukiyan you do apply pay in the Apple Watch
Thanks so much! This was sooo helpful!!!
Very welcome!
In my opinion you also glanced over the wear and tear over the years where the cheaper S9 can be greatly scratched and chipped in a years time. The more expensive S9 not as much and the U2 protects the glass even more. Going on from the idea to atleast use the device for 5-7 years I think it’s worth the price? But please change my mind
It really depends, because if you get the base one, and it gets beat up and damaged, you can literally buy a new watch with the money you saved by not getting the stainless steel. Double the price is only really worth it if you get way more than double the life, otherewise you could get the cheaper one with a refresh half way.
So in conclusion it’s not worth it to buy smartwatch that cost as much as a phone hey? Coz it depreciate like toilet paper?
@@NourMoghrabi I was thinking of getting ultra 2? Seems like not worth it? Or should I get the venu 3 from Garmin?
I have zero knowledge about those watches but going to get the s9/ultra1/2 as my first, I’m definitely not an athlete, maximum is running, but want a decent battery, if someone can help on what to get it’ll be great:)
Very informative review tho🙏
which one you get
buy the se2 it is all u need
That’s what she said quickly laughed me out my seat
R the watches stereo speakers or mono
Great video mate 👌🏾
I like Apple Watch SE.
Se 2 is nice waiting se 3
I have a few apple watches all stainless steel (series 0,2 &4) and a £20 series 1 aluminium (i got this to practice changing the battery on)
I care way more about the case material than core functions as all of them do what i need and now I can swap out my own batteries, no way am I upgrading to a series 9 for quite some time, in fact only drooling over a series 5 stainless because how cheap they are now and they all have sapphire glass
Really appreciate how through this was! I’m trading in my old Samsung watch today and needed some advice on which to get!
I upgraded from the series 6 to ultra 2 I get an upgrade bc I get my Apple Watches from my carrier and I pay monthly installments on them as well as my new IPhone 15!
I’m planning on buying the new Apple Watch in 2024
