  • Today let's follow up and see how the Apple Watch Ultra is holding up some serious time later! Following its ban and temporary reprieve this certainly seems to be the most controversial of all current apple smart watches!

    I went from a Series 7 45mm to the Ultra 2. To me the Ultra 2 fits my wrist better. I have a 7 inch flat wrist and the sensors nestle perfectly in there.
    Super comfortable, 72 hour battery life for my day-to-day use, and looks fantastic.

    I could never go back to a series 7, 8 or 9. After going to ultra, there is no going back. The screen is the perfect size for its interface, the difference is immense if you see them side by side. The brightness is at another level. But, the main thing for me is the battery. THAT ANXIETY if I constantly have a charger with me if I go away for a day is OVER!!!! Never going back.....

      Ultra’s battery life is its best feature in my opinion. I just recently upgraded from a series 5 and it’s worth it. I also got it renewed from Amazon for 400 dollars. I’m of course talking about the 1st generation ultra. I don’t think the higher brightness and double tap feature is worth another 400 dollars.

    The smaller Series Watch(41mm Series 7 at the moment) has always been the one for me, and will always be. I have one band, the Milanese loop, and that is the most comfortable and versatile one for me. I think the design could be tweaked a little bit to make it look stronger and more defined - like a flat screen - but the size is perfect for me.

    The Ultra is expensive considering I don't need those extreme sports capabilities it has, but I was interest because my current Apple Watch my first is a 41mm and I wish I had purchased the 45mm and thought 49mm would be really easy to read with my old eyes. Then I started looking at how big it was and how high it sits off the wrist and held off. Then I started hearing people who had purchased the Ultra who had gone back to their regular Apple Watch because the size, so then I started looking for people wearing Ultras and see just how big the watch is especially the thickness. It would be nice to have a long battery life, but not if it's like speed bump on my wrist. So I'm waiting for the Apple Watch X and if nice then get a 45mm model. Have to say I've enjoyed my Apple Watch way more than I expected.

    • @dangerous8333
      @dangerous8333 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The extreme sports features didn’t even factor into the reasons I went with the ultra 2. The ruggedness, bigger and brighter screen, and battery life alone made it worth it.

      More defined and bright display, very readable both in the dark and in bright sunlight. I thought it would be heavier and bulkier, but it's perfect.
      Very accurate GPS, and is much faster throughout. Alpine loop Indigo strap is very elegant. I love it! 😍❤️

    It's a good point that the regular watch does the same things. So what is it that you actually pay for this the large watch? For some it may be the extra battery or generally tougher watch - but for most, it's simply because it's more "flashy".

    After switching from Garmin to Apple due to the resilience promised by the Apple Watch Ultra, I encountered a disappointing issue with the heart rate sensor malfunctioning just a few months post the expiration of its standard warranty. This problem is particularly concerning given the watch's marketing as a durable device for intensive outdoor activities. I had anticipated that the Apple Watch Ultra would offer unmatched reliability for my needs, and this experience has led me to reassess my expectations from Apple. I am now reaching out to Apple Support in hopes of finding a resolution to this issue, despite the warranty period having ended, expecting that the quality and customer service associated with Apple will provide a satisfactory resolution.

  • @jeffnoble3316
    @jeffnoble3316 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have been thinking about an ultra. But now with the blood oxygen meter no longer working on it, the size seeming so big compared to my normal series watch (41mm) and honestly the color (You can only get the ultra in titanium brownish/gray which doesn't look as nice/sleek as any of the stainless steel series 9).
    However, I complete long runs at least once a week (15miles+) and would love them for the marathons I do as well. My current watch (series 4) dies partially into the race, even in a low power mode. It does look like the newer series hold battery longer than the 4 even though Apple states they're the same.

      I no longer start the day, look at my phone and slip into needless social media.
      Alarm goes off by vibration on the watch and then I get up. This is complemented by being able to listen to podcasts straight from the watch to fall asleep at night.

    May 12, 2024. I just bought this watch so they can sell it again, however the blood Oxygen app on the watch has been disabled which I didn't even know about all this when I bought it. I just found out today that it did not work and when researching I found all this out. So I guess that's how apple got around to not being able to sell it, by just disabling the app and so far as I can tell they did not give a date of when or if it will be re-enabled. My watch is using Watch iOS 10.4 and the app is still on the watch but you cannot even uninstall it as I guess its built into their operating system, nor can you use it.

    I'm a huge believer in "Check before you buy", and am lucky to live within 15 minutes of an Apple Store so, when I was looking to get my first Apple Watch in October 2022, I went in and tried all the models, sizes and colours.
    I'd originally been drawn to a darker colour, but wasn't sure of size.
    I ended up getting a Nike Series 7 41 in Starlight - didn't need the 8's extra features, but wanted more than what the SE2 had to offer (the Ultra was just too big/expensive). Have to say, I absolutely love it.

    I own a Apple Watch 6 at this time. I do not plan on moving to a new Apple Watch until new health tracking features are part of a new model. Going to be features and not the GQ style that drives my purchasing decision.
    Now for the Ultra. Feel I would be able to use it without a case. My first Apple Watch I war without a protective case. Received some very nasty scratches over the years.
    The Ultra with the sapphire crystal watch face would provide the protection I would need. I have owned a high end precision watch in the past with sapphire crystal watch face that cost as much as the Ultra. The only thing they did was tell time.
    Because I had screen gashes issue with my previous Apple Watch with my Apple Watch 6 I use the Smiling Case Compatible with Apple Watch Series 6/SE/Series 5/Series 4 44mm with Built in Tempered Glass Screen Protector,Overall Protective Hard PC Case Ultra-Thin Cover- Clear.

    And battery life of 3 days sounds mildly said ridiculous. Even most if not all smart watches with starting price of $100 have more than that… and they do not miss most of Apple’s “smart” functionalities :)
    Let’s be honest - this is the most overpriced toy from Apple for people who actually don’t need anything more than just having branded junk on their wrists ;)
    All Apple products are overpriced, but this watch win the 1st place for most overpriced one. The second one I would give to Airpods Max, but this is totally different topic
