@olafkuhnke1202 8 месяцев назад

Apple Watch Ultra one or Series eight are coming pretty close to the double tap feature. There is not only the accessibility feature assistive touch but something called quick actions. Together with a changed configuration of the hand gestures this works really well. I can answer calls, knowledge incoming messages or notifications while having my little boy on my right arm.

@RobertBruno 8 месяцев назад

Great video. Agree on the battery life. I also think making it in a darker color should have been a no-brainer. They would have sold like hotcakes if they only made an additional color.

@richardmathers7238 4 месяца назад

@alanhd4 8 месяцев назад

The S9 with the local Siri is the big thing for me. Plus I'll try adding a cellular plan. Also like you showing the accuracy of double-tap. Upgrading from a watch 7. I will likely downgrade the phone size and upgrade to 15 pro with 6.1 screen instead of 12 promax 6.7. I think it will be a big boost in convenience and productivity.

@TheQuantifiedScientist 8 месяцев назад

@REJ509 8 месяцев назад

There’s subtle improvements which I personally think is fine for a 2nd year model. I probably wouldn’t upgrade if I had an ultra one but the find my capability is a good upgrade for someone like me who is constantly looking for my AirTags. As a non ultra owner the choice to get the 2 over the one is pretty easy.

@Trails.andponytails 8 месяцев назад

I’ve been interested in the double tap feature. My husband is a combat wounded amputee and he lost his right arm above the elbow. He’s always wanted a sports watch but he can’t use any of them. Doesn’t look like apple is there yet but they’re getting closer. He would need every app and every feature to be usable with voice control and/or double tapping etc. Mostly he would want strava for recording workouts, runs, bike rides etc.

great review! when you were testing the battery, did use cellular ? I'm getting the Ultra 2 ,but don't want to get cellular plan for it so just wondering if that changes the battery life.

@ChaseTheSummit 8 месяцев назад

Cellular was turned off for testing since it's an uncontrollable variable. I had both watches paired to separate phones via bluetooth and wifi was turned on.

@knutekjc93 8 месяцев назад

When the Ultra dropped last year my first comment was that it’ll be a great 2nd or 3rd generation device. Seems to be trending towards 3rd. I switched to a Garmin about a year ago because the Apple Watch just wasn’t doing it for me anymore as I was ramping up distance and getting into training for an Ironman. If Apple could just optimize that battery life, get it to a week even, I feel like they’d move a lot more devices. They’d have me back as a customer for sure.

@manualgoldsteen7366 7 месяцев назад

Not as good as a Garmin…. How do I know? Well, when ever I have a few too many drinks at night I notice the Garmin tells me I did not get very good sleep, the ultra on the other hand will say I have excellent sleep. I have both and wore them both at night for two weeks. The Garmin was consistent - when I was living healthy, I would get a good score, when I would drink at night, the Garmin would report bad sleep as I would expect. The ultra reports good sleep regardless…. I do not trust it for that reason. Scientific? Perhaps not but i trust the Garmin from what I have personally observed having both.

@Mdogbrown 6 месяцев назад

⁠@@manualgoldsteen7366I have both and different results from you. I agree, the Garmin hrv goes low when I’m getting sick or have had a few drinks. That’s nice but My Garmin sleep tracking is garbage. I’ve worn both my AW and Garmin to bed several times to compare and I would wake up a couple times and take note of the time I woke up. The AW got it right every time. The Garmin said I was asleep the whole time. Also, when I wake up the AW just knows. I have to physically touch the stop button on the Garmin because it always asks me “do you want to end sleep?”

@The.JZA. 8 месяцев назад

I agree about the battery life. That was the one thing I really wanted and I thought that the transition from 7nm to 5nm would give us a lot better efficiency and therefore, battery life, even if it was just 20-30% it's still an improvement and a step in the right direction. I did think though when they said it had a brighter screen and the same battery life I was like, well if I just turn down the screen brightness I should get longer battery life then because I already do the same thing on my Apple Watch Ultra, I just run it at 2/3 on the brightness scale. The battery life isn't bad by any means and it's not the end of the world to slap it on charge before I jump in the shower but it would be nice if I could go away on a hike for a couple of days, with GPS/heart rate tracking and not have to worry about bringing an Apple Watch charger. That is the bare minimum of what I would consider to be "good" battery life for a device of this type. Nevertheless, I love my Apple Watch Ultra and I'll keep using it for another 2-3 years before I consider a new one.

@The.JZA. 8 месяцев назад

Assistive Touch is way different. The feature that you wanted to test was called "Quick Actions" and its basically the same as the double tap just with a couple of things ommitted. E.g. you cant scroll the widgets but you can dismiss notification, stop a timer or alarm, answer/end a call. It's very similar to the "double tap" feature on series 9 and works pretty well.

@CoachAlexTan 7 месяцев назад

How long does Ultra 2’s battery last in real life testing? Based on your active life style, did you even get 36hrs or did it surpass expectations with more?

@@-akPersonally I couldn't stand having a second phone on my wrist, I like that I can get notifications across, and with Android quickly reply with basic responses particularly when I'm in a situation where reaching my phone isn't possible. But I also firmly believe that phones and 24/7 instant access to people are terrible for our mental health, expectations and patience and that we should be able to sit our phones down and walk away, unbothered for an hour or two. It's hard to do that if your watch can still call you.

@ak4939 8 месяцев назад

I agree totally with the undercurrent running through your review, which is that the 3000 nits brightness upgrade was something nobody asked for, since 2000 nits in the U1 was more than sufficient. But extended battery life, that would get at least 4+ days or preferably a WEEK of normal usage with “always on” and regular exercise activities, would have been a HUGE plus. Apple missed that mark by a mile !

When I am out and about the watch loses connection to cellular often (in areas with good cell connection) and I have to go into setting, mobile services to get it to re connect. When I have looked online I have found others that have reported this is issue. Has anyone else had this issue with the Ultra when using it as stand alone and does anyone know if the new Ultra has this issue or does it connect straight away out and about and keeps its cell connection? Any advice would be appreciated

During the run I left the same settings but changed the brightness to Max. Flashlight, same settings but with flashlight brightness maxed out on both (including the temporary boost on the U2)

@reavern 7 месяцев назад

I cracked the display of my AW5 a few months ago and it wasn’t covered by AppleCare anymore, so I decided to replace it with the Ultra 2. I’m not the most outdoors-y guy but after the Pandemic lockdown in 2020 I started going on walks and I bought the Apple Watch to track my progress and listen to music without bringing my phone. I lost over 50 pounds by walking up to 2 hours a day. Since then I slacked off and have gained some of that weight back, and I’m hoping I can recreate my success by “investing” in a new Apple Watch to incentivize exercising again - it’s just how my mind works. I can’t wait for my Ultra 2 to arrive! The only thing that bothers me is that I have a half dozen 44 & 45mm AW bands that aren’t compatible with the 49mm AWU2. I considered buying the AWS9 to use my watch bands, but I wanted the more robust Ultra. My AW5’s display cracked along the edge falling onto a granite tile floor. The touch display still works so it’s only cosmetic damage, but I want the AWU’s flush display that is more protected by the case.

Thank you. I'd imagine MFA vendors will work improving their app for double tap unless they worry about accidently accepting push notifications. Always a potential risk with push mfa.

Not AssistiveTouch, but Quick Action. You can turn on Quick Action and keep AssistiveTouch off. Quick Action is basically the same as the new Double Tap except for showing the widget part.

Great overview Dave. I use an Apple Watch 6 and think about upgrade to the Ultra 2. A friend of mine wants to buy the 6. I'm not a fanatic sportsman. I just like the Ultra 2. My iPhone is a 12 Pro max. I keep this one for now. The 15 major upgrade is the camera resolution. I keep it in mind though.

I got a 12 pro max aswell only issues i have with it are the camera and its overly large size but besides that its pretty good

Just curious, what does it say on your arm? I know it’s Greek and recognize mou but don’t know the second word. I have the Ultra 2 ordered to replace my current Ultra. I’ve been very pleased with it but the S9 is going to be a way to future proof the watch for years to come. OS 10 is a fantastic upgrade.

@Halo9K 8 месяцев назад

You should mention that you can always reduce the brightness in Settings. You’re correct the 1st Ultra is more than adequate in direct sunlight. So, to save battery life on the Ultra2, just reduce the brightness setting. I also turn Always On, off since even the S6/7/8/Ultra are very fast to respond when I turn my wrist to see the time, etc.

I had an Apple watch series 3 for about a month - hated it and gave it back. I decided to jump back into the Apple watch and bought an Ultra 2. I like it - its a novelty - but I love the health features, sleep (I have never sleep with a watch before but I like the results), fitness tracking, some of the communication stuff is great to not to be so reliant on my phone for quick messages etc. The battery life is quite adequate for me - With lots of stuff turned on I get almost 3 full days on a charge. I keep most notifications off and rely on haptics for the small number of notifications I wish to receive. Not sure if it's going to be my daily forever or if it turns into a speciality watch for purpose driven activities etc. Having had it for about a month it is still a novelty but a fun and quite useful one. Great video too. Thanks!

I am disappointed that Apple didn't add the number "2" or "2nd Edition" on the back of the ULTRA 2.0. Nice review, Dave!

I went from a series 6 to the ultra 2, it already does double tap to dismiss notifications and answer calls. Works pretty well, overall it’s a huge jump for me so it’s worth it in that regard.

@ChaseTheSummit 7 месяцев назад

The official double tap has yet to be released but the accessibility option for quick actions is available (and has been for years).

@ryanebert09 7 месяцев назад

@@ChaseTheSummit it’s definitely double tap and not the accessibility function. It only answers or declines calls and dismisses notifications, but it’s popped up with a prompt for either of those functions since I turned the watch on. I didn’t set up any accessibility shortcuts and I didn’t have them set up on my previous watch.

I’m on the fence. I have a series 6 too. How do you like it.

@ryanebert09 4 месяца назад

@@SunshineFL it is a considerable jump and worth it in my opinion. I do wear it for 2 days or so before charging. I do enjoy the double tap tremendously. It’s quick, it’s easier to talk on the phone through the watch, and it seems to charge faster. Going that far of a jump from one to the other is a large jump and you will notice many differences.

@ryanebert09 4 месяца назад

@@SunshineFL also, I also upgraded from an 11 pro max to a 15 pro max and as someone who absentmindedly leaves their phone all over the place, the way it pings the phone is a million times more convenient.
