What band do you have on the Ultra 2? I have been trying to look at your other videos but can't find you mentioning it anywhere.

[@ukaszlusnia284]

Funny to show first 3 digits to unlock your watch lol

[@mikahundin]

Option 1: Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Titanium) - Why it's compelling: - Battery Life: The Ultra 2 offers up to 36 hours of battery life in normal mode and 72 hours in low-power mode, significantly more than the Series 10's 18-36 hours​. - Durability: The titanium case with sapphire crystal display is built for rugged environments, making it perfect for outdoor activities like hiking or diving. - Additional Features: The Ultra 2 comes with extra hardware like the Action Button and is designed for extreme sports with features like depth gauge, dual-frequency GPS, and water temperature sensors, which aren't available on the Series 10​. - Small Price Difference: With the Ultra 2 priced at $749-$799 and the Series 10 Titanium at $699-$749, the price difference isn't vast, making the Ultra 2 more attractive if you value those extra features​. Option 2: Apple Watch Series 10 Aluminum - Why it's a good choice if cost is a factor: - Lower Price: The aluminum version starts at $399-$429, a more budget-friendly option​. - Lightweight: It's also lighter than the titanium model, making it more comfortable for everyday wear. - AI Hardware Advancements: If you're someone who believes in rapid improvements in AI hardware over the next few years, buying the aluminum version means you can upgrade more frequently without feeling the burden of having spent a lot upfront on a premium model. - Future Tech: By saving on the initial cost, you’re more flexible to upgrade sooner as Apple improves chips (e.g., the S10 chip is already more efficient than the S9, but it’s likely more substantial upgrades are coming in the next 1-3 years. Decision Factors: If you value battery life, durability, and enhanced outdoor features, the Ultra 2 offers great value for a small price increase. If you prioritize cost-efficiency and frequent upgrades, opting for the Series 10 Aluminum could make more sense, as it lets you save now and upgrade sooner when the hardware improves.

[@CaseyvlVisage]

Well said. Been deciding on whether or not to buy out an Apple Watch or finance and which Apple Watch I should get. I’ve been leaning more towards the ultra.

[@Kyle-gd6sz]

Brought the series 9 for half the price of the 10.

[@lplt]

when doing comparison can yall use the same background for the watch, most of the times that it looks brighter was using more colorful backgrounds

[@ericbauer4559]

I made the switch from the 9 to the 10, mainly adding cellular but the slightly thinner design and larger screen are nice if barely noticeable. The viewing angle is better though and I do like to be able to play music. My wife loves sending me voice memos instead of texting so now I can hear those messages without going to my phone, huge plus. I use a protective case on mine (same brand for both) and they are very similar in size after that. Im a mechanic so I'm always banging my watch on everything. My 9 looks immaculate after using it for the past 7 or 8 months, so highly recommended a case to protect the investment.

[@eleegs]

Another reviewer noticed that the series 10 bezel is bigger than series 9- a reason why Apple didn’t compare the 10 to the 7,8 &9

[@_abby_g]

Yep. I noticed that as well.

[@Brownienterprises]

Can we do the jet black scratch test?

[@gregp.7148]

It will scratch. No paint application is scratch proof.

[@Brownienterprises]

indeed but the point is some are less resistant or less at showing said scratches :) not all scratches are created or shown equally across all materials and colors. Hopefully it never scratches like that one jet black iPhone is my hope! Please keep us well updated with scratches that are excessively more than the normal I have an 8 that was that black color sure I’m sure there’s micro scratches that aren’t seen even looking but again can’t tell.. jet blk may be different well the phone was I know that was years ago and Apple may have learned from that “gate”. Again is my hope because if I were to it be jet black for sure such a clean look

[@Brownienterprises]

@@gregp.7148 absolutely not but some is better than others especially with jet black involved which is why I’m asking specifically with regard to jet black, it hasn’t been kind in the past.

Series 10 46mm: Using Low Power Mode (LPM) most of the time battery life is 30-36 hours between 80% and 20%. Charge time using a 20 watt USB-C charger going from 20% back to 80% takes less than 20 minutes

[@komatsui159]

I checked the difference between my series 7 to series 10 at the Apple Store… I couldn’t even tell it was that much thinner like he is describing. I couldn’t even tell tell the screen was bigger but not “sooo much biggeeer”. SMH

[@mattd8670]

I got the black Ultra 2. I upgraded from the Gen 1 Ultra. I LOVE the Ultra 2 in black. Looks sick!

[@iXeo81]

I updated to the Apple Watch Series 10 GPS (2024) from my Apple Watch Series 3 LTE (2018). And this is a huge difference. It feels all better as it did with the 3 in 2018. Best new features with the 10 is the bigger screen even with nearly same sizes (42mm) and that it is thinner. Now I have no problem with it wearing it under long shirts and take a look at it. Hearing music on the wrist is also great. So the phone can charge and stay where it is and i have my music everywhere with me and hands free to do something at home. And the watch is blazing fast again.

[@lucafloricel]

that ,,displat so much bigger” is a cap. dude is bigger by 0.06 inches. i have the aw10 46inch but is not huge.

[@chidorirasenganz]

It’s a watch. Even the smallest size increases are noticeable…

[@guidrissen]

I saw it in person, and yes it looks much bigger (30%). The case didn’t grew much (which is nice) but the display did.

[@alyssakays367]

If I can just get me series 3 to last a couple more years I’ll be very happy. So far I have no reason to upgrade it besides all the new faces. It still works 🤷‍♀️

[@DarkEnv2]

Went ahead and upgraded my wife’s Series 9 to the Series 10 because Best Buy offered us a $300 trade in, which is what we paid for her Series 9, which made the Series 10 only $99 plus tax and we had some Best Buy rewards that were about to expire.

[@gregp.7148]

Fyi I ordered the Slate Titanium and it actually looks like the Space Black. I was so confused bc it looks different in the renders but here we are. The reason why I got the titanium it’s the sapphire crystal, I have the S7 SS for 3 years now and has 0 scratches 😃

[@DarthOeron]

I just ordered the black ultra 2 which is my first Apple Watch ever. My previous watch was an Amazfit GTR 3 Pro with up to 12 days of battery life, I loved that watch but it did last for 2 years and died eventually. The battery life is a deciding factor enough to pick up the ultra rather than the regular Apple Watches on life support. I’m exited and hope that the ultra 2 will cover me for the next years.

[@juspain1]

I just upgraded from the Apple Watch 5 to the 10. I like how slim it is and the large screen. Other then that it seems like the software is pretty much the same

I don't know what you did with it, that after a year it looks like it looks...

[@Otterplus]

Coming from a SSS4, I was considering the AWU2, but changed my mind after seeing some scratch tests. Then I considered the 10, and thought about how similar it is to the 9 and how little the weight matters to me. A refurb SSS9 is enough of a leap without sacrificing the weight and proven finish I’ve gotten accustomed to

[@nooahnoe]

I wanted the ultra 2 in black but my wrist is so tiny it would look so weird 😢 I had to get the jet black series 10

[@nobataminoru4373]

The bigger button is Series 9, not Series 10.

[@Markinator83]

Some statements are just stupid and exaggerated. The glass is wider and the bezel thicker on the series 10, that‘s why the crown goes „edge to edge“ on the series 10. You can clearly see from the side that the glass on the series 10 is „thicker“ than that on the 9, so there is less metal and more bezel.

[@TallysVids]

"We have the Ultra 2 that has a bunch of upgrades as well". Did this guy actually watch the Keynote??? The only upgrade (if you can call it that) the Ultra 2 got was an extra colour, and that is it.

[@Magic_Alonso]

Well it wasn’t THAT small of an upgrade, but it was small for SURE. I think there was doubled storage and some special chip that idk what is called

[@TallysVids]

@@Magic_Alonso The storage is exactly the same for the Ultra 2 in black, at 64GB (and it's been 64GB since the first Ultra). There was also no new chip/s. The chip/chips are the same with the black Ultra as they were for the Ultra 2's that were introduced last year.

[@chrisk4132]

I currently have the series 9 for 6 months now and I enjoy it it is a very good watch. I really like the ultra 2 black that matte finish looks amazing and the combination with the Milanese loop is very nice! Is it worth upgrading to the ultra 2 black or should I wait for the ultra 3 next year? Will there be an ultra 3 in black next year?

[@RD-bl7gj]

wow! I used my series 5 until the series 9 that I got last year on launch day; never got a scratch on either. Just need to take care of your stuff you paid for! same for my iPhones, I never put screen protectors and yet, I never get scratches on them.

I got a series 10 46mm silver and really happy with it. Bigger easy to read screen and slightly thinner really glad I waited. After having the black series 7 I like the silver series 10 the contrast in color is nice. I've lost all interest in the Ultra watch with this new series 10.

[@Harry_India]

The only issue with aluminium model is ion-x glass which scratch easily.

[@aminosmz]

A French media said that s10 SiP is exactly the same as s9 but built on one level instead of two in the s9, and introducing it on Ultra 2 would necessitate a complete internal redesign for nothing as it’s the same performance, so maybe from this news, we can expect a thinner Ultra 3 if Apple decides to redesign it using this 1 level design chip.

[@NinPossible]

Sapphire should be available since the base model. 60hz on the base iPhone series is fine because it doesn’t affect the usage that much but no sapphire on a watch this price is just evil. And I know Apple won’t change this. Really? How much it’s gonna cost?

[@The.JZA.]

I'm still rocking the Ultra 1 and I was holding out for the Ultra 3 but as we all know, that didn't happen this year :(. Now I am trying to decide if I keep my Ultra 1 for another year or just get the Ultra 2. I still really like my Ultra 1 but the main things I want from the Ultra 2 are faster offline Siri since I use Siri a lot and she often fails when I am in the car or out and about because the internet is not good enough and I also want slightly longer battery life. I know apple didn't advertise longer battery life with the Ultra 2, probably because they made the screen 50% brighter but I would be happy to reduce the brightness to save power since I have no need for 3000 nits and also I saw a battery life test where the Ultra 2 still had 41% battery left when the Ultra 1 died so it does seem that the 4nm chip is a lot more power efficient than the 7nm chip in the Ultra 1. Should I get the Ultra 2 or hold off and wait for the 3? Or... the most fun option is to get the Ultra 2 and then also get the Ultra 3 when that comes out!

[@bengoey]

It lasts a long time, I have the series 6 from launch and now 4 years later the battery health is 84%. It is on my wrist all the time except when I am having a shower and use it for excercise nearly every day . I don't think you can turn the GPS off. You can prolong the battery life if you turn the low battery mode on like an iPhone. The sad thing is this is a disposable watch , a year ago I tried to part exchange with the 9 but Apple website said to recycle it, ie it is worth nothing and yet it works fine until today. I think it will be fine for at least another year. I charge the watch once a day except when I want to use the Sleep monitor.
