Apple is back with a new “Ultra” smartwatch that promises a bright screen, a faster processor, and new ways to interact with it hands-free. Nick has been daily driving the Ultra 1 for a while now, so will the Ultra 2 be enough of an upgrade to make him switch?

  1. Honestly I want the ultra for the durability, i'm not going scuba diving anytime soon, but of I dip in the ocean I’ll be calm knowing the salt won’t damage it

  2. Just buy the damn thing. I love it. The Ultra is good and tough. No scratches on the crystal after a year of abuse. You can pick up an Ultra One for like 500+ bucks.

  3. Apple Watch 1 was personally the ultimate premium unboxing experience. Super dense plastic box combined with thick paper exterior box.

  4. Does everyone else’s Apple Watch ultra 2 ring and alert even when locked, docked, & charging while you’re not even in the house? My wife is annoyed cause she keeps being blasted with my calls while I’m not home.

  5. I just bought one. How is your ultra 2 under dark conditions? Mine goes a little too dim when it’s very dark. And even if my brightness is max it’s a little too dim for my liking. Is this normal or do I have a factory defect?

  6. “I’ve had the Series 4 for 6 or 7 years before I moved up to this one” this guy is spitting things out of his ass. When the first ultra came out, it was only out for 4 years. As of now, the Series 4 has only been out for 5 years😂

  7. Love the review. And i 100% agree with the outcome. More so the fact that outcome could be said for any device in the last 3-5years. Its good but the old ones still work fine and dont need replacing. Look after your stuff and it will last years. And work perfectly fine. Most would last even longer if they just made it easy to replace batteries… thanks to the EU that may ine day be a reality!

  8. Why would you not buy the version two if you haven't got the Ultra to begin with? second hand no option (I think using the band second hand is nasty, zo sets you back 99 dollar to buy a new band). and just a little discount would not cut it for me, than I would just buy the version two

  9. the price and battery life are just a no no. Luckily I don´t own an apple watch so I don´t even have to consider buying this.

  10. it doesn't change the overall review basically at all, but it's worth noting that what they're using here is NOT the "Double Tap" feature that's promised. They're using the accessibility feature AssistiveTouch that Double Tap is built upon. Double Tap didn't release with watchOS 10 that the Ultra 2 and Series 9 run on, and will be released sometime in the next two weeks with watchOS 10.1

    How you don't ship your headline feature with your product is beyond me….
