As a CrossFit athlete, I know how important it is to have a reliable and accurate fitness tracker that can keep up with my workouts. That's why I've switched to the Apple Watch Ultra, and in this video, I'll show you why.
In this video, I'll demonstrate how I use the Apple Watch Ultra to track my training, including heart rate, calories, sleep, and more. I'll also explain why I decided to let go of my other devices, the Whoop and Garmin Fenix 6 Watch, and how the Apple Watch Ultra has streamlined tracking. With its advanced features, intuitive interface, and sleek design, it's the only device you'll need to maximize your performance and track your progress.

Jason, a tip you can switch the orientation of the Apple watch so the buttons are facing up your forearm. I did this to stop activating the watch on my motorcycle and at the gym. Great content. Keep it up!

True!!! But for me, the other button gets pushed! Thus the wrist band!

A friend bought an Apple Watch Ultra and sold it after a month. He got only nearly 2 days of battery doing nearly everyday the same stuff: 2 daily hours of Crossfit training and recording his bicycle commutes... I was thinking to try one, but after his experience I definitely pass. I think I will go for the Fenix 7X sapphire.

@JasonGrubb Год назад

It's definitely not for everybody... for me, the tradeoff of battery life is definitely worth the ease of use and functionality. Glad you found what works for you!

@rickymaldojano9666 8 месяцев назад

I like being on zone 3 for 30mins everyday for fat burning and the Apple Watch helps a lot with keeping me on that pace….now that I use the Apple Watch I realized that I was in zone 2 or 1 in the past and the watch helps a lot with letting you know the pace

@lucianodeoliveira4387 Год назад

There`s a configuration on the Apple Watch that you can turn the button inside, that`s what I use, so the grip won`t be pressing it all the time (or my dog`s leash...). Also big fan of Athlytics, thanks for the tip..

I went the other way from an Apple Watch to a Garmin Epix 2. For me there is no comparison as a fitness device the Garmin blows the Apple Watch out of the water, especially in terms of running and all the training data you get from it. I also got sick of charging the watch every day or two with the Epix in gesture mode I get about 10 days of battery life. The Apple Watch is also limited in terms of the connectivity, it will pair with a bluetooth heart rate strap but that is about it.

@blahboy2600 Год назад

Whoop is the blockbuster of wearables. I literally wrote an email to them like 2 years ago ( still have the email) telling them they should include step count and other metrics because people don't want to have a million devices on their wrists and they were super dismissive and rude and essentially told me we know what we're doing. And I said alright just wait until someone comes along and does what you're doing and more and does it for less than you're charging and canceled my subscription. Now look at them - people are jumping ship for the reasons I outlined in my email to them. They deserve it. If you don't change with the time you get left behind.

@webblab2415 5 месяцев назад

If you like simplicity in usage, Garmin Instinct with four hardware buttons are maybe better. I have each button set to the function that I use most and with just a long press I'm there. Each button is able to be set to any of the functions. At first I though that non touch display will be disadvantage but it's vice versa. Real buttons are easy to find without looking on the watches and after short time of using them I'm able to change the tracking functions with just a few pushes without a need to look at my wrist. Also because these watches have non touch monochromatic display they are able to functional up to 20 days without charging (depend on GPS usage and back-lite settings)

@JasonGrubb 5 месяцев назад

Not looking for simplicity here - looking for a few great features. Even though it's not perfect.

@JasonGrubb Год назад

I've added the vibration feature - that's great!! Makes it really easy to stay in zone 2. So... zone 2 has helped me build my aerobic capacity - which translates into improved performance in all of the other areas of CrossFit for me (except very short, sprinty workouts, or max lifts)

@alexandrezanoni6008 Год назад

This is a great video, I like how you mentioned how it's just good to have something that works as a watch. I had a Fenix 6 and currently testing the Whoop and an Apple Watch. Lots of reviews seem to be paid by Whoop to be honest. The app is great but I've been finding the placement either on wrist or bicep a bit funny, always having to readjust and annoying me. Have you drilled down into comparisons between AWU+Athlytic vs Whoop?

Hey man I had the same issue of constantly pressing a button while working on something. Generally a coat or gloves pressing up against the watch. Sometimes just the way my wrist is bent back. Resolved that a great deal with the Spigen Rugged Armor. My intent was more protecting the watch because I’m constantly hitting it on something but I got the benefit of lesser button pressing. Still easy to push buttons but less area for things to flatten across the side to push the buttons. Very slight offset may be the reason. Anyway just an fyi I’m not affiliated in any way with that company just a RU-vid viewer. Great video

Hey ! I hope you're all doing well, thanks for this video, very informative and clean ! I came across this video because I have done 3 weightlifting workouts (30min to 40min each) since I bought my Apple Watch S9. I use the Traditional Strenght workout and it seems like the watch overcounts the calories burnt. I know that apple uses algorithms and that the watch isn't that accurate, but I really feel like it overcounts for arount 20% more than the reality. That bothers me alot actually, because I don't really know if I have to rely on it. I am just asking you guys if you think that it actually works, so I can continue using this workout without fear ! Have a good day :)

@JasonGrubb 10 месяцев назад

I never rely on my watch counting calories... no watches or trackers are very good at it in reality. As far as my diet goes, I eat the same on training days, rest days, recovery days... and don't change my caloric intake based on cals burned.

The way I dealt with it was to put a wrist sweat band on (between my grips/wrist and watch) and push my watch a little further up my forearm.

8:10 How have you been liking the bikerg for zone 2? I’ve got one as well but can’t get a good comfy seat position to last 60 min… Also, I’ve set alerts on my Apple Watch to vibrate when in our out of Zone 2 heart rate. If you play music direct from watch, Siri will tell you and not just vibrate

@JasonGrubb Год назад

I love the bike erg for zone 2. It's tough, but the best place for me to hold that heart rate. And... I now have siri vibrate when I fall outside of zone 2. It's awesome.

@angiesallis8582 Год назад

Love the info!! I’m currently wearing both as I was testing out Athlytic. Looks like I’m not the only one! Question…how do you use the function button to count laps/intervals. I started the workout with the function button and when I hit it again it just pauses the workout lol there is obviously something I’m missing 😂 (3:53 ish in video)

@JasonGrubb Год назад

Hey Angie... you have to go into the settings on the workout and make that button function as a 'lap' counter. That's how I track rounds or even reps.

@JoeKool33 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I had the Whoop, then went to a Garmin and now waiting on my Apple Ultra 2 to arrive. Funny how so many of us had the same experience with the Whoop. I got sick of paying for it too monthly. I also use wrist straps when weight training so I just started taking my Garmin off to train but it kind of sucks to not have the data. When I get my Ultra 2, I will try your wristband approach so thanks for the tip on that. I will also check out the app you mentioned. Sounds like a good one.

@JasonGrubb Год назад

Such a better, easier setup IMO. I think you'll love it. I still do!

@lnglng9241 Год назад

Can you maybe check the heart rate monitor on both? Like doing a workout wearing whoop and the Ultra? I recently realized that sometimes the whoop HR sensor is way off. One week ago I was wearing both and the whoop showed me 130 and the my old apple watch 90. I know my body quite well and I am pretty sure my heart rate was not 130.

@JasonGrubb Год назад

Hey - good question. Or suggestion. But I already cancelled my whoop! So that's that! :-) I've found that the apple watch has felt very accurate - if that helps.

@30mattdavies Год назад

Hey, if you check out the quantified scientists channel, he’s compared many many watches! In short the Apple Watch is pin point accurate- the garmin fenix 7 line and above (gen 4 hr) is meh… so so… whoop is crap.

@alexcordero6672 Месяц назад

I could’ve done this video. I switched from Suunto, Garmins, both because my wife gave it to me for Xmas and because it consolidated everything. I lost count of how many times I have to justify and explain to people the AWU is a very capable fitness tracker. I’m a trail runner so I bang the crap out of my trackers. I destroyed an Fēnix 5. But my AWU takes a beating. Apple did a good job.

Hi Jason - I just started following you. I have 10 yrs on ya but have been training since 14 lol. Wanted your opinion on Goruck training.

Would love to see a vid from you on Masters and high volume CrossFit/HIIT/Goruck style training and how to manage not crushing myself. Thank you.

hey, thank you for the video! funny thing: I just switched from the Apple Watch series 6 to the Garmin Fenix 6X. As I can see in the video, you are an advanced athlete. This is not where I am yet. I am happy to have features like Body Battery, Recovery time, Training status, Load Focus (telling me I am currently in anaerobic shortage) and guiding me. This is nothing the apple watch does. Yes, there are third party apps, but the quality is nothing like the garmin. I will keep my apple watch though; I enjoyed it and it’s a great piece of tech. Let’s see if Apple will bring other features that will improve the sport-experience, but in my eyes Apple has a loong path to go in order to cope with Garmin in this regards.

@nylonstringninja Год назад

It definitely seems like an extremely good multi use solution. I don't have anything apple and doubt I ever will and you need a phone to run the watch. I wear my whoop on a bicep band and it is extremely accurate there and I always work out with a chest strap recording to a different app as well. I cannot stand to have anything on my wrists or fingers. If you are wearing a watch all the time anyway and are invested in apple products it definitely seems like a no brainer.

@JasonGrubb Год назад

For sure... I don't really like anything on my wrist either. But I'll take it for the data I get for now. Until the next better thing comes!

Hey Jason, I’ve just stumbled across your channel and subbed. Great content! I’ve done exactly the same as you watch wise. Much more accurate hr tracker on the Apple Watch, which is v reliable. General question, I’m 41… so not a million years between you. I’m having blood tests at present and investigating my test levels. Are you on any type of supervised TRT?? cheers, Matt

@JasonGrubb Год назад

Hey Matt - good question dude. If you're ever going to compete in this sport - then you just can't start or take TRT. Otherwise, you do you. Do what you need to do to get your numbers right if they're very very low (with your doctor). For me... I tested a little low when I was 40 for testosterone, but I was still in a 'normal range'... just low on that range. I've never tested since. Don't really need to know. I just try to feed my body all it needs and hope it does what I need it to :-)

@bluewater_1142 10 месяцев назад

Couldn't agree more about going with the Apple Watch. I was a long time Whoop user myself but just recently let the subscription end. I will be going with Apple as well. It is just not worth the monthly commitment. Ive been waiting for Apple to dial in the sleep tracking as thats what I felt was holding me back from ditching whoop. But the third party apps will be good enough. Been saying for a long time that Apple will put a hurting on Whoops subscriptions once they offer better sleep data. Especially for those who have an Apple ecosystem.

@JasonGrubb 10 месяцев назад

I agree 100%. If Apple figures out the sleep + battery life and it would be a bloodbath.

Interesting. I haven't heard anything that differentiates your experience from a Garmin watch. Actually, for your zone 2 training or running a certain pace, Garmin has your dream feature built in. Athlytic is a subscription service like the whoop, only much less to pay. Garmin is just all in no subscription. in terms of integration, Apple certainly is doing a great job there. Personally, I hate the touch screen and am happily tapping buttons on my Garmin, to each their own...

@JasonGrubb 4 месяца назад

I respect that. I’m all in the Apple ecosystem. So it’s nice that everything works and is seamless across all my devices.
