If you want to get more battery life from your Apple Watch. Here’s some tips and tricks that will help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4nWhXajja1mp68

[@KashifKhan-kb2oj]

Apple Watch face count up is glitching when switches to always on display Is this happening to your Apple Watch

[@sh8l713]

hey bro thx its a very useful video but i have a proble in y settings there is no cover in mute option what do i do or where can i find it bc the last thing i have is system haptics

[@bekirsivri80]

lots of unnecessary information, not useful in real life

[@mrsrhardy]

Great video, but for custom screen watch face apps, Clockology is so far the best. Downside its a subscription $30 a year app

[@DankPlankSam]

Picked up an Ultra 2 today, thanks for this!! 👌🏻

[@jameslafayette1812]

I have one arm. The Apple Watch mirroring is super useful to me in lots of ways. 😊 thanks for showing me this my ultra 2 should be here day after tomorrow!!🎉

[@supremebit4382]

Why you have 1 arm ?

[@killershark1244]

This is probably the best video explaining the features and uses of the Apple watch out there. Just switched from a Galaxy watch to a Ultra2 and this video was exactly what i needed.

[@DerKilianist]

Upgraded to a S9 from my S3, a real blessing. More battery, 8 times the capacity, brighter screen, more watchfaces… its like a completely new world

[@aggeloszaharakis2748]

I own Apple Watches since the first launch. I got the Ultra 2 recently, and i thought i knew almost everything. Wow dude, you taught me a lot with this video. Flawless narrative with very detailed explanations, zoom, highlights etc. Great review! Instant like and subscribe. Thanks!

[@sm25265]

I must have watched at least 5-10 videos in order to get the basic settings for the watch and only you talked about the features I actually care about! I really wish I had found your video first and not wasted my time watching others. They all just happened to talk about things I don't care for or don't have. So, thanks again for the very useful video!

[@western.pa.fishing]

Thank you for the excellent tips! Just recently got the ultra

[@GenX80sKid]

"when the mc's came to live out the name". The GZA's Liquid Swords album was perfect, every track was a certified Wu Banger, respect to you for having that in your apple music app, the only rap era that I will give the time of day to. Killah Hills 10304 is my personal favorite from that album, great AW Ultra 2 tips as well.

[@adithyaherath2000]

Great explanation. You are one of the very few youtubers who work hard to give us a very good quality video. Good stuff mate✌️

[@thesamuraijedi9721]

Best video I’ve found about the watch so far!! Thanks!! Getting mine today 🎉🎉🎉

[@misha4422]

Thanks for the suggestions. One point: Red light really has nothing to do with circadian rhythm. The night faces are red because red light does not impair one's night vision like white light does. If your eyes are dark adapter (takes around 20 minutes for maximum adaptation), shining white light in them will cause you to have to start over adapting to the darkness. Red light has minimal effect on one's dark adapter night vision.

[@jonathankotulski]

The necessity to over-adapt to darkness would disrupt sleep, very much affecting circadian rhythm.

[@ArashiKageTaro]

@@jonathankotulskiExactly. OP’s comment is the cliché “🤓🤓bUt AkShUaLlY!!!”

[@rick00770]

Got my ultra 2 two days ago, I love gadgets so , yea it’s great, I’m 72 yrs old but still a phone and watch junkie. It’s great, the battery is my best like. I use Siri a lot too, my advice is get it on 24 month payments, that way you don’t pay out a lot of money all at once. Great video subscribed.😅

[@Bry220]

same as my dad he loves gadgets

[@JuliePike820]

Same! I’m 55 and I enjoy tech too. My Ultra 2 should be here today! On 24 payments! 😊

[@ginoosorio1]

Watch mirroring: you could create custom workouts in a bigger screen instead of the small watch face.

[@davidh13]

Exactly what i thought

[@greetingsearthlingspluto6666]

I just got mine today and love it. This video has been a great help. I'll probably watch it several times. Thanks

[@david-pascoe]

Thanks for the video. I honestly hadn't ever thought about having 3 different faces for work, fitness etc. Thanks very much. 🙂

[@01bigtrev]

I like your blue screen setup. I have mine on multi colour but I’m going to nick that idea mate, nice one 😂

[@dayslikethis9788]

Very useful and interesting. Thank you.

[@sami011212]

Thanks, that was amazing, keep up the good work

[@Jae87217]

Just got my ultra 2 yesterday I Love it Already I Switched from the Series 7

[@madisonanderson7975]

For the assistive touch, is there an option to control music specifically? Play, pause, skip, etc?

[@edrianjude]

For the Apple Watch mirroring. I can probably use it because of the watch case I am using. It’s so hard to turn the crown on it. Also, if there’s something I have on the watch I have a hard time reading, the zoom in mode will be helpful.

[@bruceadkins9147]

I got one since Friday it’s amazing

What an excellent video, thanks pal

[@Skythorne]

Do you mind telling me what case do you have on your watch? It matches so well with the band. Thank you.

[@michaelyee307]

TQ for a great start up video

[@njskcnzemcnze]

Hello, I’m from France. About contolling the apple watch from the phone: I use it to mute or set a timer or an alarm when the watch is on the charger away from me and I’m in bed half asleep and don’t want to get up 😊 excelent video, thank you

[@omideccan]

thanks it was very helpfull

[@jimobrien64]

I know that is an alpine band but what is the protective cover on your watch? Could you please provide a link? Thanks

[@t1328]

Great video. Thank you.

[@TheZanshen]

Great review mate and informative article

[@TulioMarin]

Excellent video! By the way, which case/strap are you using on the Apple Watch Ultra in the video?

[@TheAdillon1]

Hey, how did you get the goggle widget? I can’t find it on my phone:( thanks!

[@tallybreadtom]

Hey. The phone Home Screen looks sick. How did you do it?

[@vishalbysani]

Neat and informational content.. one of the very few who produce some quality content.

[@BreakawayB]

Great video, thank you!

[@dypsy9213]

A use for the watch face mirroring would be, (not sure if it'd work) is if u bind the action button to like, opening the garage, and you dont got it on you

[@allurevibe]

Do you have a video for different bands?

[@ShelbyCorGT500]

Thank you !!!!

[@v4sz113]

Thank you, this video was amazing!!

[@WhatGear]

You’re most welcome 🙏🏼

[@ocean1573]

Great Video. Thank you

[@alhodge4051]

very informative, thanks

[@minshum]

Very useful and well presented with witty captions. Just sub'd 👍

[@webikehike]

Excellent video. Another use for "6. Control your watch from your phone" is to mirror the watch face in a Zoom training session. Maybe easier to demonstrate watch features than mirroring the watch face.

[@WhatGear]

That’s a good one. I never thought of that 👍

[@01bigtrev]

I have a nfc tag attached to my phone cradle that attaches to my concept 2 bike and rower. It triggers the shortcut to open the concept 2 app and then turns on voice control from accessibility so I can speak to my phone and give directions to open or choose items on the screen. I could probably map that shortcut to the Apple Watch action button as well. Worth trying the voice control. Especially on a rower when you don’t have have hands free or stretching to the screen. I’ve used it for years like that and once you get the hang of the controls or prompts it’s a game changer

[@chrismonsen]

Subbed!🎉❤ thank you so much,

[@j.henning]

Hey Mate, nice video, thanks for the tips. Just one thing: Did you mean to leak your location? In the compass demonstration, you're showing the full coordinates. Maybe blur those? It pin-points a specific house in a residential area in Welwyn Garden City.

[@Chris_Rhys]

Great video tutorial for beginners as me ! First time I bought Apple Watch , the Ultra 2 ,I love it and I have a question: most of the time if I load an app or settings , I see a loading animation for 1 second in most of apps ..is it normal ? Cause my 13PM it’s more snappier loading apps

[@darkksuspect8335]

at the start of the video how do you get that watch face on the series 9??

[@Dronerangerspro]

Great video

[@LeTheyCallMe]

Just upgraded from a series 6 to an ultra 2 last night. Fully charged and put on my wrist about 30 min ago. I'll be back in 24 hours with an update 😀. Screen will be always on.

Can the Action Button be controlled per mode?

Hey man, what is the name of the case you have on the watch?

[@JimboSr12]

I followed these steps but when I go back to my action button settings I have no option to select shortcuts, did I miss a step somewhere?

[@AnemoiaMusica]

I feel like a good use case for the control from Your phone would be if your watch is packed and you quickly need the information on it

If you set the emergency SOS always on, it says if you take a hard fall and don't seem to move it will initiate an emergency SOS. What if you move after the fall will it call emergency services? What happen if you still move?

Did you notice this display flickering issue while removing the watch? ( with the alpine loop)Is it normal? Comes most of the time like the display has loose connection kind of a thing, not all the time it comes, with latest 10.3.1, excuse for the poor video quality since I had to take by myself, some how managed to get a video of it, pls advise, TIA

For some reason the weather complication on my Apple Watch ultra 2 does not always work. Sometimes it doesn’t load or it shows me a wrong location. I tried opening the weather section on the watch app and setting up to mirror my iPhone, but it sometimes doesn’t work.

[@robertot7215]

Very good video about ULTRA 2 BUT You title ultra 2 & Series 9. And you never said if each one of the features is valid or not for both or just Ultra 2. Ex. Facewatch with night mode. Hope you could improve this. Well work.

[@ThereWillBeCake]

I was not expecting a savage attack on Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson. #Brutal

[@juliesuhor4006]

Can anyone help? Got me new Ultra 2 today and added the "MyZone" shortcut as indicated at around 13:30 in the video so I can use it during "Workout". However, the "shortcuts" option didn't show up as when I clicked on action in workout as seen at 13:36 in the video.. Any suggestions on how to fix?

for me it doesn't show up either... Did you find out how to fix it?

What is your wrist size in mm and you choose which size is your alpine loop?

[@WhatGear]

Never measured tbh I got the medium one

[@pidgey9329]

wheew did you get that batteries widget??

[@netmanswe]

not sure I see the point of having a separate watch face for activity tracking/training since you usually have the app of your choice running for tracking the activity you are doing, e.g. walking, running, weight lifting, biking and so on.

[@nickc8477]

Does anyone know what case he’s using?

[@tomneal72]

I tried the shortcut for the action button but the one I wanted on the action button said it failed/error so I’m thinking maybe it’s because the app which works on my phone won’t work on my watch unfortunately

[@WhatGear]

Have you installed the app on your watch?

@@WhatGear hmm just checked bluelight card and my shift planner and unfortunately they aren’t available for my watch only on my iPhone

[@Gamesoldier68]

Thank you for the video. I believe the new series 9 Apple Watch no longer has to be tethered to an iPhone to work properly. Is this the case? If you also happen to have the cellular watch and account, you can do most anything on the watch without needing an iPhone. Thanks again!

You need the iPhone to look at all the health data in depth but, yes I believe you can use it stand-alone
