- In this video I cover my experience using just the Apple watch for 24 hours. I show everything I was able to do throughout the day without using my iPhone.

I had cellular specifically for Apple Music when running outside without my iPhone with my Series 3. I figured out 2 years later that you DON’T need cellular to listen to Apple Music without a phone on you. All you have to do is download a playlist from your iphone onto your watch for offline use. You can easily add or remove songs while connected to wifi at home for your offline playlist. Wasted so much money every month for nothing. Still use my series 3 till this day tho.
I’ve been using Apple Watch as a replacement to iPhone since series 5, of course not entirely but certainly during short errands like grocery, dining, workouts, meetings, etc. Sort of gotten used to it. The ultra has taken the exercise to a totally different level. I’d agree in few years time the replacement exercise would be even more profound. Excellent video of what to expect next. Many thanks
The "down" side of no phone sounds like a win. Consider you're addicted, like many, to things that don't matter. No social media, the world turned and you were probably happier not missing anything important and oh, you weren't tracked nearly as much. Ahhh, privacy and freedom.
Agreed 👌…✝️
Huh?
Smart watches are the ultimate tracking device.
Of course Greg doesn’t come back to read replies to his silly comment. He’s probably used to being called out.
I can see my heart rate by hour and day. Imagine what they can do with that if u where to get into legal trouble
First time coming across your channel definitely subscribed keep up the good work
Informative video, Michael!
How was the Ultra's battery during your day? Do you have a similar experience series 7/8 to compare with?
Great video and idea! I might need to try this out 👌
Great vlog, Michael! What you showed me is that if you have the watch, you won’t use the phone and vice versa. To me, it’s a duplication of devices so I have a struggle justifying both.
Nice video! It’s made me reconsider just leaving my iPhone at home sometimes to be off social media like you say. Also, great physique!
the flat screen on the ultra is a game changer for me, I always hated touching stuff on the curved part of the screen. I know I am weird, but I hated it.
Awesome review thanks for sharing from Australia
really great video - thanks! 👍🏻
For your “downs”, you can use Chirp on your Watch which is a great Twitter client. It even lets you send DMs using dictation and the QWERTY keyboard. There’s also WatchTube as a TH-cam client for your Apple Watch.
Drafts for Apple Watch is the best notes replacement. You should give it a try.
Great vid. Thanks 🙏🏻
You didn’t mention anything about the battery life though the whole day. How many times if any did you charge the watch and how much battery was left after the 24h.
Good video, but like some of the other comments I’m curious what was your battery like at the end of the day?
Interesting experiment. I’d give it a try on while on vacation. Great video.
My workaround for adding notes on the watch is the reminders app :)
You can get apps to record reps, sets and exercises on the watch
Good video. I love my AW6 for my running and so much more. I like it Always On, and I have the Cellular model. I see lots of runners with their iPhone strapped to their arm, but I love the AW freedom. I have a small photo of my wife on it, and I can call or text her instantly. That said, you have piqued my interest in the new Ultra, with all of its new toys. The more powerful cellular and the satellite texting sounds great. In 7 years, as you mentioned, we should have full-Sat iPhones and Watches. Cool!
Here’s some apps for social media/TH-cam:
Chirp = Twitter
Nano = Reddit
Watchtube = TH-cam
Lens = Instagram
Lens is really the only one I’ve had issues with lately, but the others work great. There’s also a watch app for Twitter called Jay that works pretty good.
Great Vid. By the way what watch band is the olive green one your wearing, it looks awesome..
How did your battery go
Same question
I guess, it never ran out!
nope mine drained fast just watch by itself
According to unbox therapy who did the same thing, it last about 30 hours with heavy usage like this
I use my cellular series 7 all of the time and the most frustrating part for me is not being able to use the watch during a phone call. Oftentimes I'll get a text message while on a phone call but I can't check the message while on the phone. I have to hang up, check the message, and then call back.
Great video really. I experienced a half day with Apple Watch once when I forgot my phone at home. The only thing I really missed was browsing full news stories on a web browser and TH-cam.
I used CheatSheet for writing down notes and I regularly use chirp for Twitter and Lens for instagram on my watch.
Little trick, you can trigger the web browser via the shortcuts app to either search something or to go to a website directly from the watch. Not something to spend hours browsing but something handy for a quick check ;)
@@mccpowerthere is also an app called “watchtube” that lets you watch videos on TH-cam.
I’ve been successful with my Apple Watch Ultra 2. I love going out with just my watch. It’s great. I do miss the times where nobody cared about being connected. We lived just fine.
Battery percentage after day is over ?
There isn’t a gym workout tracker on the phone or an app?
Very-much appreciate your insights brother 💪🏽🤠🇺🇸
For tracking workout, Strong is a great app and the Apple Watch app is great
Great overview. My Ultra arrives end of month and I'm debating cellular. When you were home and at gym could you have done everything you did on WiFi instead of cellular?
Same situation than you. My Watch Ultra arrives on 26/10. I’ve bought a little light belt to carry my iPhone X🅂 with me during runs (plus keys)
I always have my phone with me anyway:)
I checked with my carrier Verizon today, and the part they keep hidden is the taxes and fees on the cellular plan. Adding the watch to your existing plan costs one-time $35, but the fees bring it to $51! Then the monthly charge is $10, but the fees and taxes in my area of Illinois bring it to $15.56 a month! For that, I can carry my phone (which I need for downtime, soc media, and camera anyway). ymmv, but you can click the Set Up Cellular on the WatchOS app on your iPhone and go through the steps and see what the actual cost is to you. Note: cellular AW does not have many apps like phone, so if you want notifications from Discord, Twitch, etc, its a no go unless the phone is paired to your watch. ugh!
You didn’t say how much battery left after all day activities was done ?
The watch is insane!
Are you on a paid subscription for MyFitnessPal? If not, they recently turned of scanning into iPhone. Great review, I’m getting an Ultra next month .
Great job 👍
nice - good stuff
There’s plenty of workout trackers! One I’ve had success with that has a good Apple Watch app is “strong”
Battery life, what was the battery life at the end of all that, did you have to charge it every day on cellular?
I’m so used to charging my Apple Watch once a day, I stil do it with the Ultra.
i jumped from a watch 6 to the ultra and the call experience is so vastly different in a good way.
Hmm. Pretty interesting test to see how practical an Watch can be without the iPhone.
It’s a question I had actually thought about, but always assumed it would fall short due to some of the things you had encountered. Nevertheless I feel like that would be a great way to take a break from all of the social media without totally breaking away from being able to be contacted by friends or family in an emergency or just to meet up with someone. Probably something you could try and do like one or two days a week (leaving your iPhone home and go out biking, walking in a park or hanging out with friends… etc.) 👍
Thanks for the upload… something for me to consider in the future.
On an Ultra , which I I have - cellular is superb. Battery is really good. I regularly use this all day, will leave phone in car. No problem with battery. Prefer Ultra to my iPhone. So much you can do on it. Of course , iPhone is better for certain things
Bigger screen and battery, that's reason enough to get the ultra.
I don't have need to track every single workout activity/motion. I do my reps and call it good.
Battery life is 1,5 day
What was the battery percentage at the end of the day????
Great info, we don’t have it yet in Australia , but i have read in parts of US your able to have your digital licence from wallet onto your Ultra. Have you added this yet? The drivers license on my phone is the only thing preventing me from leaving my phone at home. Hope it comes soon.
Why do you want to carry the license with you mate?
@@SridharKatakam in Au, you always need a drivers licence when driving especially if stopped by the police, at the moment most of us now have it on the phone. I am waiting for it to be able to add to the Apple wallet and then access it on my watch this leaving the phone at home when I go out.
@@LQQKn4Laughs That’s what I used to think as well. Two days ago I called VicRoads and was told we don’t have to carry DL with us as long as you have a valid license. Police can pull the info from our registered vehicle number. Not sure this applies to states other than VIC.
@@SridharKatakam interesting, I’ll have to check with NSW, but I can imagine the headache if someone smashes into you and won’t give you the correct info to i.d the driver.
Can I use an older model of Apple watch? Like the Series 7 or 6? Or SE
Yes but it has to be the cellular version
The raise and speak feature rarely works
No lo apagues . Solo desactiva el Bluetooth del iPhone. Déjalo encendido para que te sigan yegando las notificaciones
Still connect my GPS Apple watch series 6 to my iPhone 12..
How is typing on the watch?
OMG🙏 Maybe I just need an Apple Watch! Maybe a "Apple Cellular Watch" and a "Mini" for music recording...
Look in to strong. I use it to track my sets and reps for my workouts.
Ultra display is small, I'm waiting a new modell in 51mm or bigger with safari and bigger battery
You convinced me, I will buy a garmin fenix 7 I do not want to charge the battery every day, it does not make sense
Yesterday at 6:30 am it was at 100 and today at 11am at 27 and charged from 27-100 within an hour or two!
There’s an app you can use to watch TH-cam on an Apple Watch also there’s an app to input workouts
Awesome videos sorry I’m so late
hey man, what you do for living
Meanwhile Some guy in TH-cam:
MY GARMIN CAN LAST 5 YEARS BEFORE I NEED TO CHARGE.
Amazing
Apple watch ultra workouts does not support wrap-count? what a shame
What was the BATTERY LEVEL left at the end of your day?
Idk I have the ultra 2 and cannot go across my yard with the phone in the house and still stay connected to my air pods 😳
So what I use my watch without my phone all the time
I thought when your phone is off you can’t use cellular. I tried it on my Apple Ultra watch and it wouldn’t work unless the iPhone was powered on.
You have to make sure your cellular is on on your watch for it to work.
In the future you only wear a VR glasses and a watch and a cap with solar panel on it
sanaol...
Then what did you read when you were using bathroom????
You forgot to take a poop and a hand in the morning lol
why is formula one's goerge russell giving me advice on my apple watch?
I couldn’t use the watch alone…when you are in a call you can’t use other apps
Yeah that’s so dumb even on WiFi.
You can watch youtube videos on the watch i do it all the time
What app do u use?
@@affarhan6540 watchtube
I’m getting the new Apple Watch Ultra with Trail Loop
(Blue/Grey)(S/M) for my birthday 🥳⌚️
If you are getting the S/M band, then the Ultra is too big and thick for you. It's a wrist pig 🐷 Try it on at any Best Buy Apple watch display first...you'll change your mind.
How do I stop my Apple Music from playing random songs???
Now Apple Music has 100 Million Apps!
Fellow OCD Water Minder user here...
I sell my Apple watch after 3 days... Its not going to replace my silver iphone 14 pro... Not even close... Even using my iphone just for calls. Im talking like 2-6 hours a day using my phone, checking my emails, using viber and imessage the half day because of my work. My only watch that fit perfectly on my hand is my rolex.
George Russell?
add ULTRA to your title =)
Quite astounding, Apple Music has 100Million Songs
Well your phone has to be turned on if you want to receive texts
No emails?
I think in the near future our communication device will just be the watch and AirPods, for videos, social media, emails etc. will be on a portable tablet. 🤷🏻♂
I was thinking the same thing today about ditching my phone and just having an apple watch for day use and an ipad for random web browsing at night.
Minier iphone
Theres a youtube app for apple watch btw
i notice my battery don’t last just with my watch
So about 70% of the Apple Watches purpose, is for People that go to Gym’s. 20% Remote Control and 10% other.
So much entries all day eating drinks everything in Apple watch only a person will do who have nothing else to day. I have Apple watch 8 GPS only unable to do so much entries I wear it all day but at night put on charging. A person cannot wear a watch 24 hours a day.
The title is silly.
Of course it's useful. How could it not be.
🤷
I want your hat 🧢
No whatsapp or Signal calls. Sooo nope.
Cellular, so kinda pointless.
I thought the workout app would capture your reps and sets? Why did you need to capture that information in a voice note?
will the Apple Watch remind me to breath? what about going to the toilet? given how useless we became in the west, maybe it will remind me to have sex as well?
Use “BEAR” for your notes. Not only is it awesome on the Ultra…it works well across all Apple devices.
Yes Bob is right. Bear is awesome
Gee, if it WAS an iPhone they'd probably have called in an iPhone Mini!
