This is the first video I have seen that actually makes me consider the Ultra.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@tronpig]

Agreed, given I'm an android user and just bought the s23 at the start of the year, I'm waiting till it's no longer getting updates, but by then the apple watch ultra series will be fantastic, and even better than it is now. And I'm certain I'll at least try it out.

[@akumas30]

Same.

[@modingo21]

Same. I work from home as an analyst and need to be able to take calls during working hours, but I get easily lured into opening apps after I am done speaking. It’s a bad excuse, but I feel like this could be a useful too.

[@dj.mb_one]

Don't forget to buy a good power bank for that overpriced apple toy😂😂😂

[@russdawson6571]

Takes a strong person to admit to their addictions, no matter how trivial they seem. You got me at that point in the video. I was with you the rest of the way. I am trying to leverage the watch and turn off the phone. Thank you.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thanks man I appreciate that. Thanks for the view and the comment

Thanks man and I am stoked it inspired you

Here’s a reminder

[@JonAdamsTech]

Leaving my phone at home and just having my watch has made things so much better when going out with my family. I don’t have kids asking me to get off my phone anymore and just being present is such a better way to live. Great video dude.

[@BrandonTalbot]

So pumped you enjoyed it man.

[@himanshutripathi5735]

If I have just one sim? .. do you guys have 2 sim one for iPhone one for watch?

[@3rdfish]

I wish every tech review was like this. I feel like everyone comes to hear opinions and real world experiences but all we ever get is tech specs and endless comparisons to other brands. Nice job!

[@BrandonTalbot]

I appreciate that!

[@matthewTobrien]

Probably one of the best review videos I’ve seen in a long time. Seriously, dude. Such a great opener and so great to cut through the noise of all the typical review videos and talk about what this product does to create a FEELING. Plus “Fix You” by Coldplay made me feel my feelings too… 🤘🙌

[@BrandonTalbot]

I appreciate it Matthew:) I wanted to put it in the intro video but it never fit in right.

[@monawoka97]

It's so annoying to me that apple doesn't make the apple watch ultra a standalone device. Even if you get it with cellular you need an iphone for it to connect to for setup and updates. I'd love to just only own the watch

[@BrandonTalbot]

I wish they would!

[@metrawhub2206]

B*llshi*t, this is not a review??? Man you’ve given us the BEST REVIEW any one us could ever imaging. I watched 23 reviews in total trying to find that real edge to purchase one. This video straight up is the answer. You’ve edited 4TB of footage for this video. Of you’re a phone addict - no way this is possible. You were able to do this because you’ve found peaceful connection to your passion again! Mad respect man! Sick studio by the way!!!

[@BrandonTalbot]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽I truly appreciate the kind words. Seriously thank you for the support.

[@heylloe9382]

In the KZbin video "The REAL Reason You Should Buy An Apple Watch Ultra," the creator shares his personal experience of completing a road trip without his phone and condensing the footage into a three-minute video. He emphasizes that the Apple Watch Ultra's true power lies beyond its specs and discusses how it helped a 41-year-old man manage his addiction to social media by offering necessary connections while eliminating distractions. The watch's impressive features, such as cellular service, credit card storage, and robust health tracking, make it a game-changer for the man's daily life. The speaker also shares their own experience with battery anxiety using a regular Apple Watch and how the Apple Watch Ultra provides a sense of freedom by allowing them to leave their phone at home, although it may not be suitable for ultra endurance athletes. Despite some minor quirks, the speaker highly recommends the Apple Watch Ultra for those who can afford it for the feeling of disconnection while still receiving important metrics.

[@JDMullachabu]

Excellent video! I have an Ultra, and occasionally swap it back for one of my analogue watches, but when I use the Ultra with cellular, I love it - the feeling of casting off the shackles of my phone is amazing. Literally feel lighter, more present. But still communicatable (word…?). And can pay for stuff. It’s great. And like others, might dust off my old DSLR, as taking pictures is the only thing I miss not having my phone.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Great tip!

[@BigShotBrandi]

This video should be viral to no end. Literally the truth in every way. Even though everyone differs in how much time is spent on media (social, email, etc), there’s always room for growth in making time to be DISCONNECTED.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thank you Brandi that’s incredibly kind of you.

[@Halo9K]

One thing I did was pick the 13 Mini and have decided to stay with it. I need it for online banking and other useful functions like email and texts but I keep it fairly limited to apps that are functional. My Ultra 2 is fast becoming my go to device for communications by phone and texting via dictation vice typing. I’m discovering that I really don’t need to have my phone with me all the time. The Ultra/Ultra 2 makes that possible. In fact, if I were going on a trip I would take my iPhone, Ultra and my camera but leave the phone in the hotel. Good job.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Yeah it’s awesome when you can leave the phone at home!

[@jakubhajek590]

Very nice video, especially the first mini movie. I just don’t agree with that part that it's not watch for Iron Man etc. I took Ultras to 100km trail (i did it for 25 hours). Put it into low power mode and had an iPhone in my backpack (so watch used iPhone’s GPS instead of it's own). But after those 25 hours with hiking workout turned on I had about 60 % of battery! So any one day workout has to be easy, just set it up before.

[@TJ_Gonser]

Beautiful video I’m wondering if this would still be his advice almost a year later.

[@BrandonTalbot]

10000% yes

[@Alex-tg2uj]

Thanks mate, but the points you mention are not specific about the Ultra ? The series 10 lasts all day, and can charge real fast before sleep

[@BrandonTalbot]

Bud this was made a year before the series 10 came out. I’m not a fortune teller.

[@Whatmobiledeal]

You hit the nail on the head. Apple Watch Ultra = Freedom I too, like yourself have an addiction to my phone. Being now able to leave my phone at home and still be contactable in an emergency is a godsend. You’ve gained a new subscriber 😊

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thank you so much!

[@dennishaughton4554]

A flashlight and a camera is missing. Still have to bring my phone with me in case I have to take a pic, or record a short video.

[@MattMead1981]

Absolutely loved this video, Brandon! 41 year old here also with similar phone concerns. 10 days into having the Ultra and it's the best tech I've had in years. Yes, tech and build awesome but as you put so well, the freedom to not be constantly consumed by the phone. Taking the watch for a hike on Sunday with the AirPods Pro and no phone was liberating! New sub here and look forward to more videos!

[@BrandonTalbot]

Oh that’s so cool to hear man glad you enjoyed it.

[@AnthonyMorales71]

“Mindless doom scrolling”. Ugh. Yes. Guilty

[@fitzthegreat]

Dude, I really appreciate this video and it's the first video I've ever watched of yours. I also got the Ultra when it first came out, so over a year ago. It's hands down my favorite piece of technology. I leave my phone at home all the time and it's freeing. I so relate to what you were talking about with Instagram and needing to disconnect more. The Ultra is a piece of tech in a long while that I feel like benefits us in the sense of it creates a method to stay connected, without being too connected. I also literally have zero marks on mine and I snowboard, surf, backpack and have a crazy 1.5 yr old who is always trying to bite it. I loved this video. Also we just went to the Oregon Coast a few weeks back and stayed at the Hallmark right in front of Haystack rock, so that was fun to see. Also love all the Melin gear, I might be more addicted to Melin hats than Instagram now 😂

[@BrandonTalbot]

That place is so rad!!!

[@MattWiles]

Except for a camera and if you need the internet :-/

[@BrandonTalbot]

Yup

[@mattpotts]

The effort you made for this video was epic. Keep it going and I’m sure I’ll be one of those guys that says “I remember following this guy before his channel blew up!”

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thank you so so much man that means a lot

[@SojournItaly]

Awesome video. When the Apple Watch was first introduced, I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Yet, another way to be even more closely tethered to tech and social media. After finally folding and purchasing a Series 7 a couple years ago, I quickly learned that the Apple Watch (with cellular) accomplishes the exact opposite! And I’m so happy you’ve highlighted this truth in your video. …around the same age and same problem btw 😅

[@BrandonTalbot]

Glad you enjoyed it:)🙏🏽

[@techlesstech]

Dude I got a CAT S22 and just couldn't. I'm a Pixel user, but got the AWU2 for all the reasons you listed, and it's been the best way to disconnect because you keep all the things you need, plus most of the entertainment, without useless scrolling. Great video! Very happy I got to see it.

[@BrandonTalbot]

That’s awesome man, hope you’re loving it so far

[@mckaykimball]

This is exactly why I bought my Ultra 2. I’m so sick of spending every second of the day on my phone. I love still being connected but disconnected from all the socials. Also $10 a month for cellular is a steal. Solid vid!

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thanks McKay!

[@Gooeybrowniebaby]

Wait, that’s for the whole phone plan right? Where I live I pay approximately the equivalent of $14 for my phone plan (calls and data) and that includes my Apple Watch plan as well. Get 32GB/ month and 300 mins calling any phone on any network.

[@jimmyhart3191]

@@Gooeybrowniebaby32GB seems impossible for a month, at least in the US

[@ericvergunst7275]

How do you mean impossible? Is it not enough to get by, or $14 is too cheap for 32GB over there? (In the Netherlands we pay a €5 extra for watch cellular on whatever plan you and have. )

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thank you so much 😊

[@GuilhermeMauri1]

Agree 100%. That's the reason I am considering getting one. I am glad you brought it out to the world... It's a relatively big screen that can replace your phone for the important things and avoid part of the wasted time we spend on the phone... and this should ultimately reduce anxiety. Also the battery thing is real as well. Not having to worry about it reduces anxiety a bit gime, I always try to get the bigger phone, to get the bigger battery

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thank you! Hope you love it

[@badfaceday7509]

You very accurately describe my feeling of owning the Ultra watch. It is the feeling, the awareness of all that it can do, that it is so universal, and covers so many different aspects. That many people do not understand that the built-in apps are in many cases only intended for demonstration, and not the ultimate, and that the ultimate must be found in the APP store, it's such a shame for the watch, but it's just in the reason. people's misunderstanding. For example, built-in workouts may not be the best, but you can download so much else. The same applies to navigation, sailing, - yes, almost everything you can dream of. From Photo to Cars, from Astrology to Zoology.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Yeah the true power is in the apps

[@tjboyte]

You have no idea how awesome it is to come across this video. I’m planning on pretty much going phone-less in 2024 and the Ultra is a big part of the reason why I can even consider that. Just the right amount of connected that I need and it makes me almost excited to be able to be free from my phone!

[@BrandonTalbot]

Glad I could help!

[@lekoraxx5406]

its a good piece of technology. but consider this idea: apple was the first(?) company that launched a "smartphone" with a good touch display, camera and all that. smartphones became popular and became more entertaining rather than practical. and heres the thing: ALL of those companies now launch watches to stay head on head with their competition, but they also make that extra profit. and a sad argument for some smartwatch buyers is, like it is for me and you Brandon, that we build more distance to our phone and be free again... AFTER they made us being addicted to their technology. so their strategy would be like: develop an addictive smartphone. make the user deseperate for an alternative. offer them a new solution by offering them a smartwatch. profit more and create your own brand ecosystem (like apple, google). and this is sad. but of course the apple watch is an extremely efficient device and i dont hate it. im gonna buy this watch as well soon.

[@lcvisible]

[@BrandonTalbot]

[@prmans]

I'm so glad you made this video. I've been searching for something exactly like this. I would love it if you could make a follow-up that details your day-to-day usage of both devices. I want to make this transition myself but want to know that it's making a real difference every day and I would love to hear how you choose "today is going to be a phone day" vs a "watch day."

[@BrandonTalbot]

Sure thing! But it would be incredibly hard to just label it a phone day or a watch day, it really depends on what my needs are. Like I said in the video, I could have done (and have done) everything on my watch. The only reason I needed my phone was to control the camera app. I'm personally just seeing the phone more and more as unnecessary. I leave my phone on my nightstand when I go to bed, and it stays there when I wake up. All my work is done on the computer. IG & YT is now done on the computer as well, and not the phone. To make my workouts more efficient I just take the watch because I take less breaks and work harder when I just have music and I'm not texting or watching KZbin video. I will say the phone has an advantage over the watch when it comes to maps because of the real estate, so if I NEED to go somewhere I never have, the phone is less stressful to rely on, but other than that, everyday is "everything but the phone" day.

[@keefyboy]

I had a first or second gen Apple Watch and got rid of it because it was adding distraction on top of my phone addiction/distractions. With new battery life in the Ultra, I came back to the watch, so I could leave my phone behind. Man, this is freeing and I even use theatre mode all the time to limit the 'screen lights up' distraction. As a Gen X'er, I grew up without the distraction of phones and this move has been a blessing that was actually easy to do. I love when I go out to dinner and someone asks me to check my phone for something. I just tell them I don't carry that. Plus, I don't have that stupid weight always in my pocket, that often gets in the way when squatting down to tie up shoes.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Yeah it’s so nice to just say I don’t have it. Especially with my kid haha. I love my kid, but god damn I don’t wanna sift through a million tik tok videos for that one cat video

I have the Apple Watch Ultra (1st one) and this video popped up in my feed as I was looking at potentially switching to the Fenix 8, due to battery life and diving (without having a subscription).

Don’t know if you’ll see this comment since the video is quite old now, but wanted to tell you anyway: I’d say it’s quite rare that I subscribe to a channel after only having watched one video from it, but your combination of content (that speaks to my interests), the time put in to making that beautiful intro (the kind that almost makes me embarrased for getting to watch it for free) and your honesty and down to earth personality made it a no-brainer. I’m very surprised you haven’t got more subs and views, yet, but I guess the algorithm just haven’t realy picked you up yet.

[@musicman9945]

I had the light phone for 6 months and it was amazing but definitely a challenge at times. I had to go back to my iPhone 13 mini due to some limitations I had during a medical emergency. That said I felt so free and having a smartphone again is kind of stressing me out even without using 90% of the features and dumbing down the phone. This does seem like a good compromise though. Good review

[@BrandonTalbot]

Oh man I'm sorry to hear about the medical emergency.

[@musicman9945]

@@BrandonTalbot Thanks luckily it didn't have any long-term issues. It was just concerning that I was not able to contact anyone when in the ER due to lack of reception. The texting was also a pain when doing it in mass (mostly because the e-ink screen). If it had an LCD screen (which they are doing for LP3) and ability to have pop-ups solely for logging into public wifi (for wifi calling) it would be the perfect device.

[@alis5323]

I’ve watched so many reviews of the AWU2 and this by far is the best. Great job! The intro was sick and got me hooked!

[@BrandonTalbot]

Great dilemma to have I guess:) if you can read an actual hard copy instead of an app I’d say it’s probably worth your effort and experimentation:)

[@lazyhominid]

Good reason to have a Kindle. I keep one with me, and I have that for reading on instead of the phone.

I loved this. Loved the self-reflection, the honesty, the perspective, and the way you helped us feel through the journey with you. Maybe it’s the algorithms, but watching this is almost serendipitous for me. I was just musing with a friend yesterday about how our brains are not evolved to handle to constant bombardment of echo-chamber content and bad news. The steady stream leaves me feeling exhausted, angry and fearful most days. He encouraged me to remove my news widgets and unnecessary notifications. It feels like I’m weaning off a drug, but in just 24 hours I notice myself feeling more at peace and with greater bandwidth. Just got the AWU2 last week, so maybe it’s time to plan some hikes. At the same time, most of our can’t spend our lives off the grid. As inspired as I felt by your week-long trek, I would love if and how you’re maintaining a healthy disconnection in your day-to-day life.

I know once I admit there’s a problem verbally to a person or party I’ve already admitted defeat months or years ago mentally. The importance of acknowledging the problem is the challenging part for a lot of people and it consumes them … I feel like most people do have understanding on what I’m saying but I think people think about it too much. For me at least I know I can put down the phone and drop it for the rest of my life and have no problem with doing so. Yes I’m guilty to a fault, my screen time is over 7 hours a day easily.

[@TheSchyllerwade]

The pinned comment kind of set the wrong tone going into this video. I can relate to the feeling for sure, but that’s not really my impression I got. Overall thought it was pretty good! You said upfront it wouldn’t be a conventional review about specs/features, and it wasn’t.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Glad you stuck around and watched it anyway:)

[@baymed12]

Hey! If you don’t mind me asking, how much is the cellular plan for the watch with your provider?

[@BrandonTalbot]

Pretty sure it was an extra $10 a month to add it

[@spartan5506]

I bought an AWU because of your video, thanks a lot ! I can feel a huge freedom to go out without my phone :)

[@BrandonTalbot]

Hope you’re loving it:) thanks for watching!

[@Dubstepconcept]

Great video my dude, very well done and thought out. Cheers!

[@BrandonTalbot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@airfed]

I will upgrade to the Ultra...as soon as the O2 sensor returns. I like the biomarker. Until then, I will maintain my Series 7. Maybe I should activate the cellular with my xFinity provider. I got it yet haven't activated cellular thinking the phone would always be 'nearby' in order to answer calls and get notifications for the phone apps. I also thought that if I didn't use the cellular, the battery may have more life. Great video & editing. I'm sure your O2 was topped when hiking amongst all that foliage.

[@BrandonTalbot]

The ultra 3 should be coming soon

[@jasondixon9095]

I love my Apple Watch ⌚️ ultra also

[@BrandonTalbot]

It’s so damn good

[@pete-of3ne]

freedom.. we all want it.. and i'm getting closer .. deleted FB and Instagram 2 years ago .. never owned an apple watch and now want the ultra 2 .. will wait for the september updates to see what's new .. good video so i gave a thumbs up and subscribe to your channel .. 👍

[@BrandonTalbot]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you!

[@Глеб-ц6ш]

Great video, great atmosphere, beautiful and actually healthy idea. That’s the reason I plan to buy Apple Watch Ultra 2, to be connected disconnected.. unfortunately not all functions are available currently where I am living - in Ukraine, but never mind. And the top comment about length of the video was so stupid and long, that I was tired of reading it. Guys, if someone don’t like how long this video is, if you are TikTok generation and cannot focus on even 12 minutes video - don’t watch it. No one’s forcing you, and especially no one’s force you to write long ass comments)

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it:)

[@MistuhM0n0]

I was honestly shocked by this video. I was expecting sooooo much more considering the title...but that wasn't the case. First off...loved loved LOVED the intro! So cool man... Second, I've been considering the Ultra or a Garmin for my outdoor activities and hiking. This definitely swayed me more into the direction of the Ultra because for what it is, it'll work for me. Plan my hike on CALTOPO...save the GPX...load to watch...leave the house. Without my phone (depending on where I'm going, but most of the time I'm in the "front country"). Anyhow...amazing video good sir. Definitely earned my sub.

[@BrandonTalbot]

So pumped you enjoyed it!

[@MistuhM0n0]

@@BrandonTalbot Honestly I was super stoked to see you were near Canon Beach and the Goonies House! I'm born and raised in Oregon so those places are such a huge part of my life and childhood!

[@BrandonTalbot]

Oh man I try to get there once a year. I love the Oregon coast line

[@thenesdemir]

Sorry I can’t give thousands dollars. I am happy with my addiction ❤

[@BrandonTalbot]

No need to apologize!

[@robinjhunter]

I deleted Facebook, twitter and all social media. Addiction gone. I'm just getting used to leaving my phone at home and using my cellular watch ultra. Does feel odd but getting there.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Wish I could, unfortunately when you're job is Content, the social platforms are a must. But good on ya!

[@johnmoralez9435]

DAM this gay make me feel like im in a preacher, that’s amazing.

[@BrandonTalbot]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@far2ezee]

Completely disagree with the pinned post. I've just bought one and found it interesting the angle that you took. Spending our lives on our phones- to somehow claw back that sense of freedom but still have some connection was exactly what my brain was coming to. And then you eloquently summed it up. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. Cheers

[@BrandonTalbot]

Well glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@ketle369]

Can’t believe that all this was filmed on the Apple Watch ⌚️ Ultra. (The only reason I bring my iPhone 📱 now is lack of camera 📷 and the bus ticket 🎫 🚌 app isn’t on apple 🍎 watch 😢).

[@BrandonTalbot]

Hopefully they will fix that soon

[@SLP-SandAngel]

Unfortunately I’m obviously watching this video on my phone, I do allow myself a little time for KZbin but this is 100% why I bought the ultra 2 watch. I’ve gone from 8 hrs a day on web and KZbin to 1 hr a day online only.

[@BrandonTalbot]

It’s all good:) and that’s amazing!

[@micheleferrari2370]

Finally a good review. We're losing ourselves in tech, and this tiny piece of tech is going to save us.

[@BrandonTalbot]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@aaronsalter4]

Only gripe I have with this video is he said leave your phone home. I can’t listen to music in my car with my Apple Watch Ultra I need my phone. The watch won’t connect to the Bluetooth. I’ve tried it it’s a no go. That being said when I workout I leave my phone. My AirPods connect no problem.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Yeah for some reason I can in mine, but I doubt it will work for everyone. Sorry mate.

[@NKHSP]

apple watch is much better iphone replacement than the cellular ipads, ipad doesn't have phone app, no nfc for apple pay, apple wallet holds all your hotel or transit cards, From a pure connectivity standpoint. you can call , from apple watch, you can use gps , it is waterproof, i can connect to airpods, it has gps and satellite connection , imessages, email check , and all the workout sensors, alarm, taptic engine is great. Watch has actually more apps than you can imagine. i think next innovation apple can make should be in battery department , make some fukin graphene battery which can last for at least 3x more time. 1 day battery life ad is like forever.Lithium ion ain't keeping up now.

[@BrandonTalbot]

These are some great points, and yes I agree, let’s keep everything the same but let’s triple the battery and we got ourselves a real game changer as they say.

[@halloweendad0543]

This is exactly the video I want to see. I know all the specs already, tell me the way it makes you feel etc.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@dpbera]

I have been watching a ton of videos today about AW ultra listening to the same repetitive stuff. But I’m glad to have ended up here. This was the video that made me place the order. This is my intent too. I want to be in a long distance relationship with my phone.

[@BrandonTalbot]

I love that man. I hope it does the job for you:)

[@craigwoodgate7120]

I have started using my phone less and less since having the Apple Watch i have been reaching for my phone less and less i would never be off my phone until now. I’m currently using the Apple Watch Series 8 is it worth upgrading to the Apple Watch Ultra

[@BrandonTalbot]

Hmmm unless you need the screen size probably not. I’d upgrade in a few years. That’s when you’ll see another big leap.

[@creativeconnection4U]

You hooked me! Just bought one today BECAUSE of you :)

[@BrandonTalbot]

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine

[@CesarGonzalezRFMonk]

obvisly the hike and drive was short! battery will be dead by end of day. When battery life and mapping is incorporated within Workout then perhaps is freedom to carry a phone. But Freedom is not Disconnection.- however great intro mate

[@BrandonTalbot]

Thanks for watching

[@Anakena3]

The first nasty comment is not doing justice to this video I think. I really appreciate the way was first shot in the woods and so on. Also surprisingly talking about addiction is probably more helpful than talking about specs all the day. I tried also to left the iPhone at home but then I realized I was missing the incredible point and shoot camera. (and the smealess integrations of the files in the Apple eco system.

[@BrandonTalbot]

Yeah that’s a big reason to bring the phone, I’m really into photography and so I have a camera on me always so it makes that decision to leave it home easier. Thanks for watching

[@mmvjohnson5]

I would buy one but that price tag is insane I just bought the 15 months ago and the price of the ultra is 100 dollars less than a iPhone 15 so that’s like buying 2 phones

[@BrandonTalbot]

That’s crazy I guess it depends on the model you’re buying the AWU1 is like $455 right now
