Thanks for your suggestions for improvements to the Ultra. I wanted one and still do. But, like your wife, the case is just too big for my wrists. Plus I would love the extended range and battery life. Apple really needs to correct this. Great video!

Where have you bought your metal watch band? Please share the link 🙏😃

@james11h 11 месяцев назад

I got my Apple Watch Ultra at launch. Zero precautions taken and I’ve scraped it against walls, brick, and even metal railing many times. Zero scratches on the screen (even under sunlight), a few fine scratches on the bezel and case that you can only see in light when there was heavy impact. No case deformation. Extremely durable! My old Apple Watches were always dinged up and super scratched with deep gouges by a year, as is my iPhone screen.

@Zito66941 11 месяцев назад

Same here, honestly if they made an iPhone Ultra that had similar durability it'd be a must for me.

@SteveBIRK 11 месяцев назад

Pretty much agree with all the points. I think the size/weight is the biggest issue I have. It is def the max size a watch could look good on my wrist and it can get uncomfortable from time to time based on what band I am wearing. On the flip side having it be able to power through runs without my phone and still have battery life left over trumps everything else.

@HolaMundoDev 11 месяцев назад

@user-jd3fx1gc6s 11 месяцев назад

I got an ultra a few months ago because my older Apple Watch ran out of battery. First. I am old. The size of the screen is fantastic for me. I really have no use for the action button and turned it off because I frequently press it by accident. Like you I, even though I also have the latest regular Apple Watch I end up wearing this even when I go out. Thanks for the review. I love my ultra.

@Michael.Chapman 11 месяцев назад

8:26 Your scratched metal watch bands can relatively easily be returned to mint condition, usually in 5 minutes or so by hand only. Look for a set of three or four small, flexible, graded abrasive pads specifically made to remove scratches and return an original brushed finish to stainless steel. One set can last you many years! eg: search the usual places for the phrase: Stainless Steel Polishing Pads for a Brushed Finish on Watch Cases and Bracelets

i had it (bought it at launch) but i returned it exactly because of the negatives you just mentioned. the lack of a proper titaniumband and the bulk especially while sleep tracking. it is like a brick if you are sleeping. the ultra with the titanium band looks insanely good on your wrist sir!

Ive been using Apple Watch ultra since its release and honestly it’s been a blast. Until like 2 weeks ago when it started to completely overestimate my flights climbed to the point that just a simple stroll on flat surface would result in 100 flights climbed. It is so annoying because such discrepancy definitely impacts other health data. Other than that as a fitness freak battery life is decent (2 days of use) and in general the watch meets my expectations. If only it counted those flights better…

I bought my Apple Watch Ultra back in January as a used like new model from Best Buy for about $600. I was worried about the size but I got use to it fairly quickly and love it now. Battery health is at 100%, no scratches or dings, it looks perfect. My only gripe is the battery life I’m getting isn’t as good as others I’ve seen where they’re getting up to 3 days on a single charge. Best I can get is barely more than 2 days and sometimes not even that. I’m not a heavy user. The main things I use my watch for is to check my blood sugar readings but it’s linked to my calendar app and shows up on my watch face and I use Apple Pay, that’s really about it. I can’t really see what apps are draining the battery so not sure how to fix it.

@jollyJedi 11 месяцев назад

I’d check background refreshes, as well as making sure your phone has a good signal. If all of the normal drains have been checked try repairing your watch with your phone.

Love my AWU bought it new a year ago. Never leaves my wrist, sleep, shower, pool, sauna and the beach swimming in the sea many times. Just rinse in tap water when you get home. I charge it around 10%. Super hot sauna 20 minutes every other week is probably the worst. It is build like a tank. Looks like new. Battery health is at 97%. So buying a used one is a no brainer.

Disagree unfortunately about 2 items: - action button super useful for cycling , just hit it and ride, capture the commute - on exercise app, WorkOutDoors it can become a lap button during exercise - about width/weight - yes heavier - but because it’s wider - it’s pressure per surface area is lower than a usual Apple Watch, and hence much easier to wear during sleep

I was put off by the size and price especially since I'm old and don't do any of the sports that it's designed for that raise up the price. I would like them to make a Ultra influenced watch for their regular line of watches. I'd like a little bigger, definitely not as thick as the Ultra, and the better battery life like the Ultra. I think without all the sensors and giant action button they could make a little larger Apple Watch with the excellent battery of the Ultra.

That connectivity is dope too because I like checking in on swarm.

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.
