[@tusharakolkar509]

I’ve been using the Apple Watch Series 7 (GPS + Cellular) and it’s been great for everyday use. However, I’m considering upgrading to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Given your experience with both models, do you think it’s worth the upgrade? @GregsGadgets

I will say this product is AMAZING. I took it off the charger at 1 AM. It is now 1 am TWO DAYS LATER and there is still 13 percent battery left. I have done THREE 40 minute workouts and tracked TWO nights of sleep. The battery life on this product is BEYOND amazing compared to my series 7.

[@jakefranklin89]

I’m a pipe welder by trade. When I read about the titanium housing and sapphire screen on the Ultra, I knew it would be my next wearable device. I had always found the durability of the non-Ultra watches to be impressive, but I wanted a watch that could potentially last 4-5 years and endure the rigors of my work environment. My new Ultra 2 fits that bill. While it’s probably more lucrative-and frankly, more glamorous-for Apple to market this lineup to athletes, tradesmen ought to know that there’s now an Apple Watch lineup that will keep up with them on the job site.

As a woman I honestly don’t care how big it looks on my wrist, I want to be able to interact with my watch with ease and see it well (I’m far sighted and it’s getting harder to see things up close as I approach my 30s).

Captain Leela Turanga of the Futurama animation TV series has always worn a giant interactive Digital Touch screened wrist device - if it looks great on Leela, I don’t see a problem with any woman who opts for a larger screened Apple Watch Ultra 2 for purely operational and strategic reasons. Ditto with seeing women touting an Apple iPhone Pro Max handset - why not? So much more functionality with a larger screen.

[@xmateinc]

It’s funny they advertise the Ultra as an endurance watch, when in fact it doesn’t preform well in the back country. But for a day to day watch, when you have power and cell service, it’s a fantastic watch. It’s loaded with useful features for the average person to use, and it’s well built. I’m a mechanic and over a year of bumping into other metal objects it’s still scratch free. I got a Garmin Epix pro gen 2 for the back country. Garmin is just a much better watch for endurance sports and back country adventures.

I am really torn since the S9SS cellular is exactly the same price as the Ultra. I currently have the S5SS cellular and it has been great. Not a single scratch on the face, just a few very fine scratches on the SS case. The battery health on the S5 is still 87%, so it should be good for a few more years. I think I just talked myself into waiting a year or two before upgrading, even though I would like the longer battery life. I am hoping for more options when the series 11 is released. Thanks for great videos!

I upgraded from a SE to a Ultra 2, I am a hard core watch guy so for me it’s a no brainer but with that being said it is by far the best money I have ever spent on a watch and WELL WORTH IT.

Awesome video , definitely a lot of good points! I just got the ultra 2 today as my first smart watch . I got it for many reasons , some being why I got the 15 pro max ; bigger and better battery . I’m pretty tall and have really big hands and thick fingers so getting the normal size iPhone isn’t an option and getting the smaller Apple Watch didn’t really feel like a good option as a result either . The durability will be great tho since I hike , swim , lift and do a bunch of other stuff outdoors . I gotta say it’s weird to me that a lot of people complain about the size of the ultra . I’ve always worn mechanical watches which some are 2-3 x the weight of the ultra

So the Ultra last 2 days if you don’t use it for sleep tracking. Vs a regular watch that needs daily charging? Seems wasteful if it’s too heavy to sleep with at night since 1/3 of our lives are spend in bed. How would someone track sleeping? Buy another Apple Watch?

[@BaconBePropane]

[@JAY-bb7yc]

Battery life is a non issue for my SS 7 with fast charge.

[@AaronFigFront]

Watch bands affect the comfort a lot. Using the braided loop, I don’t even feel the ultra is on me. Mine wrist size is on the smaller size. I honestly forget about I am wearing it all the time. Just make sure to go as small as possible with braided loop, slightly tight so it will loosen to a perfect fit. Tying them on at Apple Store might be helpful as they are already loosened, but still go a bit smaller even by that standard.

[@antmit6431]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who had the Series 7 with poor battery life, though admittedly this was a two year period, not one (didn't see the point in upgrading to the 8). I've just got the Ultra 2 and my Series 7 battery was 87% by the end.

[@GreginLA18]

Yeah, I agree with everything you said. I love the Apple Watch . I really like the upgraded features like the bigger screen the durability, the better microphones, better speaker, better battery life etc. etc. the only thing that I miss with my stainless steel Apple Watch which is with the one I had before is I really liked the smooth feel of the stainless steel and I liked the shiny polished look I was hoping for a black Apple Watch Ultra 2 but I guess I can understand why they didn’t do it. It’s probably because in their testing it probably got scratched more easily and it’s supposed to be one of these watches that can takes a lot of abuse and not get scratched. I did purchase the new Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I’m looking forward to getting it this Friday. The trade-in was pretty good at $380.
