Today I’ll be unboxing and taking a look at the new Apple Watch Series 8 in the stainless steel finish. I went with the Graphite Stainless Steel model with the Graphite Milanese Loop.
The Apple Watch Series 8 starts at $399, but this top of the line version cost me $799. So I’m excited to see just what else is on offer to justify it’s massive price premium over the aluminum models.

Stainless steel watch, looks twice as good and with normal usage, just doesn't scratch or scuff like the aluminium, personally I'm on my third stainless steel. It's worth every penny, it still looks new after 2/3 years. You're absolutely wrong in telling people, it's not worth it! Once u get a stainless steel watch, you'll know why u'll never go back to aluminium

@Matth9782 Год назад

Great review, one thing to add, temp sensor does have a use for guys too, it keeps track of your baseline temp during sleep tracking, additional data is always welcomed, and additionally you can also keep an eye on it if you're feeling unwell, as it will show an elevated temp if you are sick.

@preciousagulefo899 6 месяцев назад

If you're sick with a feverish temperature I'm sure you'll know without your watch😂

@Uptownv Год назад

Stunning. I always wanted the SS one. Had to get the aluminum. But now, I can afford to get what I want.

@RichieLanderos Год назад

I just came back from exchanging my ultra to the SS I tried for a few days getting used to it. But I couldn’t. I even thought about just dealing with the size for the extra battery life and titanium body. But if I’m spending $800 I can’t be making sacrifices. Loving the SS. I end the day with about 40-50% and just charge it in the morning as I’m getting ready. So I don’t notice the smaller battery

@gromkour5341 Год назад

Fr. The battery takes like 30 minutes to charge. I charge it before bed while I play games, then when I get up, I put it on charge, shower and it’s full again. Then all day wearing it I have around 50 left more or less. With a lot of battery wasting features turned off of course otherwise it lasts about 12 hours 😂

I’ve found a 45mm stainless steel graphite series 7 for £350 in pristine condition boxed with inserts like new. This was a no brained for me.

@aaronmelson2887 Год назад

I bought the midnight aluminum 45mm gps only series 8 and love it. My first apple watch.

@tomastsega Год назад

I chose the same one you got (45mm stainless steel graphite) I’m upgrading from the series 4 aluminum model. I needed a watch that does it all (workout tracking, health features, and that looks stylish). The only feature the ultra had that I wanted was the battery life, but I always charge my Apple Watch every day and with fast charging, I can do that even faster. Plus, with low power mode I’m getting 36hours, which is plenty enough for me. All the other features the ultra has, I honestly would never use them. People only like the ultra design because it’s “new” but with the extra bezels it has, it looks like an older version imo. I can’t see myself wearing it out to formal events. However, I do hope a lot of people get it, then apple will most likely implement the brighter display and extra button onto the normal watches.

@Auto-Technica Год назад

OMG I just filmed a video on the Ultra and said the same exact thing you said. It’s nice but stylish and the only thing I significantly liked was the battery life. I also charge every night so it doesn’t make a difference anyways, but having that extra battery is always nice when I’m traveling! Would love the brighter screen and louder speakers on the normal watches too!

@flarierza33 Год назад

@vinnyp9877 Год назад

I bought the silver stainless steel Apple Watch for no reason other than the fact that it looks nice, and for that reason alone it was completely worth it. I’m also one of those people that keeps my watch face turned on at all times because it looks better. Looks are important to some people and it is a watch after all so if you can do it why not.

@nickd2820 Год назад

Careful on the Milanese Loop scratching the case. The Milanese loop has DLC coating, same as the steel. 😊

@mayankZed Год назад

If you drop it, and it falls flat on the ground (hard surface, concrete, marble floor etc) it breaks instantly. The only thing is that it is scratch resistant, you will have a very shiny display for a long time.. my moms series 6 SS front glass broke instantly.. even my series 6 SS back glass cracked badly in just one drop, while taking it off (was using a case which covers the front and sides.. my very bad luck)..

@erictingkingco2746 Год назад

Should i get Ultra or Stainless Steel graphite?

@Auto-Technica Год назад

If you feel comfortable with the larger size of the Ultra go with that. I really liked the Ultra, but ended up keeping my Graphite Stainless Steel because the 49mm Ultra was too big for my wrist. I’d say you’re best off going out and trying out both watches before you buy!

@erictingkingco2746 Год назад

Actually i have the 45MM stainless steel silver the 45MM is too big in my wrist, and silver scratches like insane, micro scratches is everywhere because of my Milanese loop.. I’m planning to get graphite 41MM Series 8. What do you think?

@kaiichinose9590 Год назад

I agree that the stainless steel is priced to high, stainless steel is a very inexpensive metal. The only thing it has going for me is the non fruity colors of the aluminum and the sapphire glass which is more important to me. The ultra is nice but a 45mm version with a graphite or black color option would’ve sold me more. Also the charger in the series 8 is a fast charger and the ultra comes with a braided cable.

@Auto-Technica Год назад

I’m on the same exact boat! Ultra is amazing but too big and uncomfortable on my wrist. A 45mm option would have been a game changer. Agreed on the aluminum colors too. They’re just so bland and not interesting anymore.

@owpint3007 Год назад

Fruity? What is fruit about silver or midnight? What is fruity about red? ………

@kaiichinose9590 Год назад

@@owpint3007 I guess maybe that didn’t come off right. I’m saying I prefer space black or graphite or space Grey. I don’t want blue/midnight didn’t like the blue hue it gave and I don’t like silver or the off gold color or red. I like the mistral space grey and graphite or black even for my personal taste like they used to have. Wears better with my bands and attire. No worries though I snagged a series 7 45mm stainless steel on a hella sale for 399. Couldn’t be happier. I had a ceramic series 6 and sold it. Maybe next year the ultra will have more color variations and maybe even a flat design change for the series 9.

@@TeethOfDead I did happen to get it during that time. I am very happy with it. The stainless steel graphite is fire, I would love the space black version but unfortunately that’s only offered for the Hermes watches which I think is highway robbery for no reason. Colors should not be locked by something like that.

@@ravipro Can't wear Ultra with dressy attire. That is an absolutely ridiculous statement. What you should say is you choose not to. Get a nice Milanese or leather band with your ultra and it looks fine. My question is where are you guys going and what events are you going to that is so fancy that your watch is the most important thing. Are you guys wearing $5,000 suits and $800 shoes or you wearing men's Wear suits. I don't think I have ever been somewhere and thought damn that guy's watch looks crappy.

Now that’s one part I can’t delve into in an initial impression. At first glance the long term durability is not something I can judge. I don’t doubt this is going to be a great watch. Just unsure if it’s worth paying 2x over the aluminum, because those are just as great too.

@Auto-Technica Год назад

Yup! Only thing is the size is so massive so it really does make it a very niche product. Hard to recommend to everyone. 😬

@jonRboy Год назад

I agree for the most part but one aspect of the 'newness' of the Ultra vs the fact that nothing much has changed since series 4 is this: If you are *new* to Apple watch and series 8 is your first one, that whole 'newness argument' isn't quite as relevant. But I would agree that many long time users might be tired of the same design and would want the Ultra for that reason.

@DefinitelyNotMyRealName Год назад

Opinions are cool

@Bobster986 Год назад

The only aesthetic difference between the stainless steel and aluminum, the stainless has a heavier feel. The stainless will take a better beating, but why would you? Save your $400.00 and get the aluminum version, then buy yourself a better iPhone (or whatever) with the money you saved. Same thing goes with the cellular version vs wifi only. If you already have a iPhone you really don’t need a cellular watch, the wifi version will sync up to your iPhone and work the same way. There’s another $400.00 I just saved you! 😉
