Apple Watch ULTRA Review - 10 Reasons To Buy - From an Average Adventure Dude

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I forgot to mention it, but I typically use it with not always on display and get 3-4 days between charges, and it charges in about 20 minutes or so on the fast charger.

[@legee4544]

I don't understand the hype as real. It is very bulky to actually sleep with and track sleep. It is also bulky to work out and definitely uncomfortable while performing any other extreme activity. It's own size and bulkiness defeats its purpose and i wish i could return mine for a full refund.

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

@@legee4544 Sorry to hear it's not working out for you. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time to get used to something. Not sure how long you wore it, but I'd give it about three weeks and then see if you feel the same way. It's got a lot of cool features and might be worth putting up with the bulkiness.

[@Mrpjvr29]

Yeah sorry to hear that. I find my ultra watch compared to the garmen epic gen 2 to be very comfortable. Absolutely love the ultra. However the sleep tracking needs to change…like apple get your 💩 together! A guy that works shift work this is just rubbish! Let it just simply track my sleep automatically without a schedule. Other than that as a commercial diver and outdoor man I love the crossover of a smart watch/ dive watch!👍🏽

[@villasuso91]

What Watch face is that one? Can’t find it on mine

[@thndercat1]

I will have a case on mine, run into stuff or hit it at work with desk at work. I like cases

I absolutely love my Apple Watch Ultra and I’m also enjoying the AirPods Pro 2nd gen! I used your link to get the black case thanks for the suggestion it’s thin enough to look like it’s a blacked out Ultra the trackback feature and waypoints are AMAZING!!! Great content 🤙🏽

[@tomahawktom7595]

Good video, I was looking for Ultra reviews and stumbled across your channel….now I’m a subscriber… good job

[@alexorcas1]

I also have one and I love it. I can charge it on Friday morning while I drink my coffee and then go camping for the weekend and then charge it again sunday night after I get home while I eat dinner and it's good to go. I don't need to bring a charger with me on my weekend trips anymore and it's oddly freeing. #weekenderlanderwatch

[@Benjieboy1993]

Cut it. It’s thin

[@Meech_CV]

I'm a pretty active guy and never thought of the importance of an Apple Watch until about a year ago. I used it mainly to break Social Media addiction and wasted screen time. I love tossing my phone in my room and still feeling connected if I get texts or a phone call just from wearing the watch. It has helped a ton getting part of my life back. The fitness features that the watch serves is just an added bonus. Seriously though, if you need to break a social media addiction, get yourself a smartwatch.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Agreed, it's awesome

[@WoodcockFamilyOverland]

I moved away from my Apple Watch because I was sick of having to charge it every night. I have a Garmin solar instinct tactical and I have to charge it once a month. I use it extensively for GPS and tracking.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I forgot to mention it, but I only charge every 3 or 4 days for like 20 minutes

[@cvanunen]

How dare you put a case on such a beautiful watch. I can't even believe they make such a thing.

[@Supremenobreaks]

I was thinking the same 😅😅

[@jrandom2995]

Great review. I’ve been an Apple Watch user from day one, and I’ve been waiting for this type of update. Prior to the Apple Watch I wore g shocks and seiko autos. The battery life & durability improvements are worthwhile. Thx.

[@marcochavanne]

Just ordered one refurbished on Amazon for $500. Cant wait to get my hands on it.

[@TheHanshotfirst]

Who's this handsome mustachioed man & what have you done with Mike?

[@Levi.Jaeckel]

I recently made a video about when and why I wear my Apple Watch Vs my GShock. Personally I love the long tail Apple Health Data trends, but I’m still not ready to take a digital and “short” battery life watch out on a legit adventure.

[@ToloyKeripinMunsang]

Loved the average adventure guy take on the ultra. I'm in the similar bracket of users. My work involves working outdoors (in and out of water mostly), occasional mtb, dive, b-ball, jog. What makes me pull the trigger was the dive comp capabilities as to have a seperate dive comp is good but the cost climbs and can't use the dive comp as a good smart watch and do others sports. Battery and mapping wise sure it's not as good as fenix but for those extreme cases, I bring along a handheld gps anyways. The ultra is a good do it all sport watch. It's a master of none though. Perfect for the average adventure excursions without going to extreme. I've owned Fenix 3, 6., Samsung Watch, OCEANIC OCS dive comp.. I love the ultra cause it can do it all granted that we know it's shortcomings

[@johns6431]

Garmin fenix 7x sapphire here bro. Can’t beat the battery and ruggedness of Garmin in my opinion

[@full_metal2452]

The Ultra is my first AW and wear it 24/7. Work in auto body field and also active life. I constantly get 52+ hrs between each charge. Also avid Hunter/ Jeep off-roader. Use OnX Off-road also and look forward to a video on it

[@Royalcrimsonstang]

Damn looks like you aged a lot sense you started the house build.

[@J.Young808]

It’s the beard he’s trying to grow

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha I don't think I have any wrinkles, or gray hair, or really any signs of aging. Though I am 37 for what it's worth. 😉

[@catortega3881]

Good video. What case is that you have on the ultra? By the way, agree with all your points. I’m in the apple ecosystem, but I’ve been wearing mainly a tag heuer connected 45 for the last 4 years. It never played nice with iPhone and the functionality is limited compared to the Apple Watch, but damn it’s sexy. The Ultra changed a lot of things for me as it combines looks, durability, functionality, modularity, and customization. I’ve not worn the Tag since i got the Ultra…

[@michaelshearer3559]

I think I'm sold. Never owned an Apple Watch, but this is for me. It's just cool. Thanks! Really excited for your house man. Is it strange a stranger is contemplating a house warming gift, lol.

[@mkleng]

Interesting. These are all the reasons to buy ANY Apple Watch. And none of them mention any EXCLUSIVE FEATURE of the Ultra. Well done there :)

[@iAMboognish]

I have FordPass on my Apple Watch Ultra too which is pretty slick to be able to start my Transit remotely. 5 mins before ending a hike I warm ‘er up toasty and ready to go.

[@bamaboyburns8079]

Just picked up a ultra 2 about 2 weeks ago I wanted the ultra so bad when it first came out and now that I have the 2 I’m very happy the design is what really got me it’s so unique then all the overkill on features and swapping bands just makes it feel/look different if you don’t got one get one

[@GarryBurgess]

I've never seen a black AppleWatch Ultra. That must be some kind of case that it's in. Never mind, it's just shadows in the first part of the video that made it look black.

[@jeremycush]

i wish you could use its built in speaker instead being forced to wear earbuds , when walking the dogs i find it easier to listen to music on my samsung watch as i can use its built in speaker as i have lost so many earbuds

[@Redpillgoku]

You did a great job thanks brother! I bought one. Cheers

[@gillahousing]

I love my Apple Watch ultra. But I’ll will not compare it to my garmin watch that is 5 years old but still a great watch. And I’ll still keep my phone on me unless I heading to the store are maybe going on a walk. Beside that great video .

[@patricksullivan9713]

I just got an ultra and love it

[@MegaMastiffman]

Man I got the 8 recently and it’s really cool but I should have gotten the Ultra but oh well I still will I will just have to wait, great review as always congrats on the house built mine too highs and lows but worth it.

[@legit.jthomas]

Interesting perspective, I use an SKX007 Seiko, never have battery issues. All the items on smart watch I have on my phone that is in my pocket. Just never figured it was that much of a hassle to not have that information on my wrist. To each his own. Great video.

[@PeacemakerPL]

Great choice of Seiko 👍

[@TheZanshen]

I use a diver on left wrist and Apple Watch 7 on other for tracking fitness etc . Thinking of getting the ultra as will always wear a proper watch on my left. The ultra will be for fitness purposes

[@mikeydailycarry]

Beard is coming along! Giving us Asians some hope lol 😂

[@shenlun]

I like the features of this watch, but wish it were on android

[@legee4544]

Actually for sleep tracking Android has better Smartwatches and more variety. I've tried both and Apple Watch is probably the worst on my list when it comes to Fitness and health metrics. For tons of useless apps and waste of time, get the Apple watch.

Alright brother I’ve been wearing your associate Holster for going on 3 months now I have to say this is without a doubt the most Comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. Once my bruises healed from my last holster on my appendix area I can’t say enough how comfortable this holster is most of the time I forget I’m wearing it. I just can’t say enough about it thank you again brotha. I’ve told everyone that I know that carries appendix to invest in this holster. This holster will change your life.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Glad you're loving it my man!

Great vid, love the beard keep it up 👍 not much of a super tech guy myself but I’m right in the middle also, love hearing the unexpected uses:)

[@mdx9286]

If Apple could solve the battery limitations, they would own the market. I hung my Apple Watch up a few months ago, and moved to a Garmin Fenix 7S Sapphire Solar. The battery lasts 24 days on a single charge.

[@arlencarlson]

My Amazfit Stratos can do 5 days. Anything that good is enough for me. When I read that the maker of this video can do about that long with not-always-on mode, I now realize that Apple has achieved what I was looking for with the Ultra. I’m sold…just a matter of when I buy now.

[@yezzirrr416]

Which band and case were you using in this vid? Thanks

[@mikeandrachelgray9390]

You don't need cellular for apple wallet to work on watch

[@rolpal619]

What desktop monitor is that?

[@WoodrowWoods2007]

I've tried many times to wear watches in my life. I get excited by the idea, buy one, wear it for a week, then find that I keep leaving it on my nightstand until I forget about it. Wash, rinse repeat every 5-6 years LOL maybe the Ultra will be different? I dunno, I might look into it. Or a Garmin or Suunto. Can't beat that 30-60 days battery life.

[@tedwarkentin2211]

Agreed. Love my Garmin instinct, battery lasts forever. Heck I just bought the new Pixel watch, it's great but still like my Garmin.

[@swarbrickjesse]

Love my Ultra. Worth the price tag IMO

[@LastLineOfDefense]

What are some of your favorite features?

[@swarbrickjesse]

@@LastLineOfDefense First and foremost is the size and the flat edge to edge screen. I prefer it so much more over a standard rounded Apple Watch. The battery life is great for my sleep tracking, so its about almost a 2.5 day watch for me. The band backward compatibility is great. I turn off all notifications on my watch, except for messages. This allows it to be a “watch” first, and doesnt bug me all day. Overall, I am a screen fanatic, so if you put high refresh rates and high pixel counts, chances are Ill be buying it 😂

Awesome review man , ordering mine tonight . Great content as always

[@michaelgriffith4110]

What color you use

[@DeadsaintsTAO]

As a left-handed user, wearing the ultra on your right wrist, has its problems. Thanks for redeeming my purchase by sharing how you use it in a more productive sense than just fitness tracking.. I saw your video and clicked it to see how someone who does what I like to do(off-road adventuring) uses his. Was not disappointed, very practical. I guess the only thing I hate is how easy it is to hit the action button with the back of my hand When carrying things, so I don’t have it assigned. And hate that if you hold the action button, it brings up the emergency screen. If there’s a way to disable that screen, I don’t know about it. But now I use it to set reminders, which I desperately need lol Cheers mate!

[@dankefurnichts]

the most thing what holds me back from buying an apple watch ist that my garmin fenix 7x has average batteryruntime of 14 to 28 days before you have to reload. depends on how much you use the watch. and i feel the gamrin is more robust build, reminds me more to a g-shock. I had my whole life only casio and later g-shock watches. best watch for me would be a garmin paired with a g-shock. 22:57 the fenix has a real flashlight LED build in. That is by far the most feature i use on a daily bases. It has even white and red light!

[@KristoDIVG]

Hey man, I did watch the beard video and you have a reasonable foundation on the beard actually. I'd go ahead trim all the darker areas down with a 1 guard (Dec 1st of course). That should give you a more "5 o'clock shadow/even look and everything should pretty much blend together. That'll let the wispy areas catch up, keep it all even as time goes on if you want to grow it out.

[@JerryWinter]

Apple Pay using the Apple Wallet doesn't require cellular ... doesn't require anything. It never has. It's just NFC. No phone ... no cellular.

[@timmyturton1035]

Nice Review… Just Subbed for future content. I was in the fence with the Ultra but think I’m going to go for the Series 8 in Midnight though as I think although rugged tgat the Ultra is too bulky and a bit heavy on the wrist. I think the Series 8 is sleeker and smarter to wear out or with a suit. Loved the review though. It is a cool looking watch but can’t justify the spend and just don’t think it’s for me. ⌚️😎👍🏼

[@TheRealSandorClegane]

Doesn’t it just become useless if you can’t charge it?

[@remi1213]

Garmin enduro 2 beast! Apple Watch Ultra 36 hours battery autonomy compare to Garmin enduro 2 = 1104 hours battery autonomy, and 150 hours battery autonomy in gps mode. Good luck adventurer with Apple watch, you need a good external battery!

I agree w you on youtube university vs. social media. I'm gonna have to think about this a bit, because I really love my mechanical watch, but the ultra is cool alright. I think the beard looks dope, definitely some epic mustache potential there.

[@outdoor_xventure]

Looking at this for off grid adventures as well. Since you're in colder climates, how has battery life been? I usually camp in 20-40 deg weather on average and my iphone struggles if I don't stick it in a back pocket or spoon with it

[@symmetricalastic]
