Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs Apple Watch Series 10: Every single difference explained!

[@SignorLuigi]

After my wife and I owned several different series of the aluminum Apple Watch with ion glass, we have NOT found them to be very resistant to scratches at all. In fact, one of the reasons why we carried Apple Care+ on our watches was because you received essentially a new Apple Watch with a new scratch free screen when getting a new battery. I finally gave up on ion glass Apple Watches and now own an Ultra II with its sapphire crystal. After 1 year of daily use, absolutely no scratches whatsoever! 🙌🙌🙌

[@subscriptions3179]

my 7 years old Alu S3 has 3-4 micro scratches on it and I wear it daily (+working out, cycling, hiking)..

[@User57655]

Just buy a screen protector? I owned a Series 6 Aluminum and never scratched it once with a screen protector on it.

[@SignorLuigi]

@@User57655 IMO, screen protectors are a PIA. I used them for years. They poorly adhere to the curved perimeter of the Apple Watch (if they cover the curved perimeter at all) and need to be regularly replaced because they start to peel off. But, if they work well for you, that's great.

[@Lachlan_McDougall]

S10 titanium with the sapphire screen is a good option as well if prone to scratches

[@SignorLuigi]

@@Lachlan_McDougall Yes. Absolutely. It's great to have two options that come with the sapphire display. The Ultra 2 and "AW 10 titanium + sapphire" share many of the same features. But they are different in other areas that will make one appeal more to different users. In my opinion, the aluminum AW should also come with a sapphire display like other watches in its price range. But Apple is famous for denying features in less expensive BUT STILL EXPENSIVE models solely for one reason...to entice users to spend more money on upgrades. You shouldn't have to put a screen protector (which are notorious for peeling off and often don't cover the curved perimeter of the AW) to prevent scratches on a Watch that costs from $400 up to almost $600 (depending on features).

I went with a jet black series 10 with the lake green sport loop, big fan of that nice forest green color. If I was going Ultra, the alpine loop would definitely be the one I'd pick.

[@dbunch904]

Same. I hated the fact that they don’t offer a black alpine loop but I actually don’t mind the dark green after seeing it in this video. It’s pretty dark.

[@karthicwmb]

I’ve tried both the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Black) and the Series 10 in gold titanium. I really wanted to love the Ultra 2, especially since I used the titanium version as my daily watch. However, I realized the main reason I switched to the Ultra 2 was for its larger display. Now, with the Series 10 offering an even bigger screen, a slimmer profile, and being much lighter, it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a brick. So, I decided to return the Ultra 2. The thinner design and bigger display were game-changers, plus I can finally track my sleep since it’s so lightweight. I think the Ultra 2 is really meant for the top 1% of Apple users who do a lot of trekking and diving. Even then, a lighter watch might make those activities easier.

[@theotherphil]

Great review as always! A couple of points I'd like to point out... 1) The off angle brightness of the Watch 10 would be difficult to measure against the Ultra 2 due to the Ultra 2 having an extra 1,000nits of brightness. 2) The data fields on workouts...whilst technically, the Watch 10 has a physically larger display, it actually has a lower resolution than the Ultra 2. This makes the on-screen images larger, therefore it may not actually support more data fields comfortably. 3) Battery charging speeds - the Watch 10 has a physically smaller battery so yes, it will charge to 80% quicker than the ultra, but it's 80% capacity is probably half the size of the Ultra 2's 80%.

[@JonPriston-ds9ec]

I've just gone from the Ultra to the 10 and it feels so much thinner and lighter. No difference in screen size obviously and I'm finding the double tap feature very useful and it's a lot faster to charge. It does feel a touch faster and more responsive too

Awesome. I am surprised that the video didn't talk about how they feel with the weight difference. I'm going to pick up the 10 tomorrow. Thanks.

Interesting. I returned my titanium 10 for an Ultra 2. I just didn’t feel the 10 was a noticeable upgrade from my series 5. Yes, my series 5. The Ultra 2 just feels so nice and the added battery is worth it.

[@shawnwalsh3502]

This video had the opposite effect for me. I was quite disappointed (like most others I expect) about there not being an Ultra 3 announcement. I initially intended to snub the Ultra 2 and go with the Series 10, but after seeing them side by side like this I’m really digging the flat screen and flat black finish on the Ultra 2. For reference I currently have a Series 6 with a sapphire display.

[@TallysVids]

One thing I did notice on the side by side clips between the Series 10 and Ultra 2 is just how much glare/reflection you get on the curved edges/sides when compared to the Ultra 2 flat screen. In my opinion the flat screen of the Ultra 2 looks superior to the Series 10 in this respect. I also found that the flat screen looked more fresh and more modern compared to the curved edges that we have had since day 1 of the Apple Watches (that was one of the several advantages I found when deciding to get the Ultra). Great video by the way 👍

[@AntivistX]

Less susceptible to scratches doesn’t mean less noticeable scratches. Although the natural titanium scratches easier the scratches are harder to notice.

[@guillermomartin8248]

Thanks for the video. I like that "buy the watch you need now" part. Sometimes others and I get to wrapped up on what could be in the future, more is loss by indecision than wrong decision.

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

as an Apple everything user since 2012, im growing exceedingly frustrated with their version tactics. I have no need for most of the ultra 2 upgrades other than the screen size, and the lack of the screen curvature on the bezel. Other than that, the 10 is perfect.

[@smirkingdevil]

You can bypass the 3 second workout countdown by tapping the screen to start a workout.

👌👌👌👍….After this vlog, I am going for the ultra😎…Will be my first ever Apple Watch.

[@The.JZA.]

I rewatched the Apple event and paid close attention when they announced the S10 SIP. They didn't actually say anything was new. They just listed off a bunch of features that already exist. My bet is that the S10 SIP is identical to the S9 except for the display controller which controls the new low power OLED. That's why they didn't put the S10 SIP in the Ultra 2 because it doesn't have the new low power OLED. Next year they will announce the S11 SIP and I HOPE that they make a 3nm SIP for improved efficiency and maybe add in some of that Siri 2.0 goodness but based on Apples history of slow SIP updates for the Apple Watch, it's a safe bet that they will reuse the exact same CPU, GPU and Neural engine next year and rename it the S11. I'm rocking the Ultra 1 and still love it but I am looking forward to getting the Ultra 3 with hopefully a longer battery life and faster Siri. Just ordered the titanium Milanese loop as well which I will hopefully get tomorrow or maybe Monday.

[@max_mittler]

Next round of watches will likely be all new chips based around Apple AI. Maybe 2026

[@Dcrainmaker]

They talked about how they used the S10 SIP to do the voice isolation piece. That's it.

[@The.JZA.]

@@Dcrainmaker But that was already available on the Ultra so it’s not new.

[@Dcrainmaker]

@@The.JZA. Nope. As noted in the video, the Ultra uses it's three-microphone array. The Series 10 has a single microphone, so instead they're using software algorithms to do the voice isolation (just like countless web/phone/desktop apps).

[@The.JZA.]

@@Dcrainmaker I just rewatched it to make sure I’m fully informed. They said “Series 10 uses a new neural network to suppress background noise”. A neural network is software not hardware. They are still using the same neural engine, just with a new neural network (software algorithm) to do this new task. If they had increased the power of the neural engine in any way they would have sung it from the hill tops. The S10 SIP is almost certainly exactly the same as the S9 SIP except for the display controller.

After coming from an Apple Watch that had 2000 nits to the Ultra 2 3000 nits. Its way more brighter and noticeable when in bright sunlight, even though there is only 1000 nit difference. For me personally, I have really appreciated the 3000 nits in bright sunlight, it certainly makes the display information and detail pop out very much more in my opinion, and I would certainly miss the loss of brightness if I were to go back to a 2000 nit Apple Watch.

[@alexpiptom]

Nits aren’t linear like that. A 1000 nit difference only equates to about a 20% difference in brightness to the human eye.

[@TallysVids]

@@alexpiptom As I said early, the extra 1000 nits was way brighter to my eyes, than the 2000 nit Apple Watch I had previously. Even if it is like you say around a 20 percent difference in brightness, is was certainly way brighter than the 2000 nit Apple Watch. I even compared the two side by side outside in bright sunlight before I sold the 2000 nit Apple Watch, and it was very noticeable.

Maybe a left field question (or asking the bleeding obvious)... Can you pair either/both these watches to record activities on a Wahoo Kickr Bike Shift? Back story: My friend had severe sight impairment & I pilot tandem for her, which currently gets recorded on my Garmin. She has recently bought a Kickr Bike Shift to ride/train when not on the tandem. We've set up the Wahoo App on her iPad but that seems a bit sporadic on whether it connects to the bike or not (going into setup usually gets things going but the writing is too small for her to easily read independently). We were talking about getting a cycling computer to use on the Wahoo bike - & could also be used on the tandem, but wondered if one of these might be an alternative & also track general health/fitness metrics, especially if it can be operated via Siri voice controls.

Coming from a series 6 so I pre-ordered the series 10 over the ultra 2 as I already have the ultra 1. This is based on style as I can use the 10 for smarter dressing and the ultra 1 for everyday use/sports, etc. Was hoping for an ultra 3 and I am not a big fan of black watches, looks good at the beginning but over time, the silver/titanium feels more classic and stylish in my opinion. Plus, I don't want to repurchase watch bands with black tips to match up 😛
