Not working for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Ultra 2
Is the wrist flick feature still available in the newest beta version? Apple’s website is showing that it won’t be on the series 10 is that accurate?
I like but, keep your phone with you, Workout buddy needs your phone nearby.
🥱
are you getting Ultra 3? i am on a series 10 but missed my ultra 2 so Ive got to go back!!
Shervin, you’re still a legend. Nice review.
Cool little stuff they're adding. I just wish they would add the ability to create custom workouts on the iPhone rather than being forced to use the tiny watch screen and typing to create custom workouts. It sucks having to do that.
How did you record the audio of workout buddy?
Is an ultra 3 coming this year?
I’m also crazy, that mute is on 100% 😅
seems that apple heard our prays and added useful things
Good luck with your Z-flip phone and Apple watch !!
Who ever is head of these software upgrades should be ran of Apple Park 😂 the watch in terms of hardware is awesome but they just cannot get what people actually want. Workout buddy is pathetic. Anyone who think otherwise is talking nonsense or isn’t into proper fitness. What about recovery, sleep score, proper data screen customisation. The list goes on and for Apple to continually miss this makes me think that the people behind these software upgrades haven’t a clue on where the industry is at. I want to end this by saying I love Apple Watch Ultra 2 but the software team just keep letting everyone down.
Garmin watch looks horrible lol clunky and not appealing at all
Hi do you have a Rivian? Curious what the update allows in the control center you showed.
What can you do with Rivian on the Apple Watch?
10:43 lolol sorry I didn’t reply fast enough 😂
Great summary!
Workout buddy looks very annoying!
I'll never understand why anyone would have notification sound turned on with an apple watch. Like bro you feel it tapping your wrist, there's no need for everyone to hear a DIIINGG
How long untill we can get Ronnie Coleman screaming “YEAH BUDDY”
Why my apple watch series 9 doesn’t have workout buddy? 😢
At 12:00 – you said editing and adding to for Apple Notes on the Apple Watch on watchOS 26, but sadly that’s not the case. You can only check off and uncheck items in a list, but once a note is created, you cannot edit it. You can only view.
Yeah, the Little workout buddy thing doesn’t seem motivational. It actually seems like a distraction. She’s just reading off things that you can look at on your screen already if you care to. But you have to sit there and listen to it like oh God OK and? Seems like a useless feature.
