I Traveled to Paris with my Apple Watch Ultra

In (ep4), we travel to Paris with the Apple Watch Ultra. I made purchases with Apple Pay, tracked my run with the workout app, and compared the distance, pace, GPS data to the Garmin Fenix 7X & Garmin Forerunner 955.

Just recently found your channel, great videos! I think the problem is not Apple Pay, it's that you are using the Amex card from your apple wallet when you try to pay - I use Apple Pay pretty much everywhere here in Paris and surrounding cities, but I go through the Visa in my apple wallet. And we do have Amex, but it's mostly department stores, designer stores or malls. If you want to buy your pastries and bread, it has to be Visa indeed...

[@FisherApexRunning]

It is clear that there is a difference between the two watches when it comes to mileage measurement. Garmin specifically has a note on their website about GPS drift. So at this point it is hard to tell which one is accurate. I have completed several marathons where Garmin says I ran 26.6 miles. A course that is measured would be the best place to do a comparison test in my opinion. Do enjoy the travel vids. I get to live vicariously through you as I slog it out at the office.

[@nathantelini1]

Love the ultra videos mate! 😎With the ultra, i use my phone even less than ever, and love it! I work in construction/metal fab and ive hit my ultra so many times, without even a scratch! I hope one day the watch will eliminate the need for a phone 🤙🏼

[@OtterJohn667]

Another great video! Interesting to see the GPS comparisons with pace and distance. This is the sort of thing that gives me (a data-obsessed Garmin user since 2006) heart palpitations...but I'm also re-evaluating how "perfect" I need my training data as I get older and shift my priorities. The lifestyle features of the Apple Watch are hands-down amazing and why I still have my Series 7. *This* close to pulling the trigger on the Ultra to replace my Series 7/955 combo.

[@DeeKay1911]

Yeah I kind of feel the same. On most race days my Apple Watch S7 is pretty much spot on the distance and if I miss a couple of small details on training day it might be okay

[@markeissler]

Amex isn’t even widely used in Canada so not sure why anyone think it would be popular in Europe. I was just in France for a month, including Paris. I did not use anything other than Apple Pay (MC or Visa) while in Paris for a few days except for the Metro. Which brings up an important point: American credit cards are mostly chip and signature cards where as in the modern world (e.g. Canada and Europe) credit cards are chip and PIN. Despite what your credit card issuer may tell you, travel with a chip and signature card is going to bite you at some point if you spend enough time in Europe and have to deal with offline transaction terminals (some gas stations, train platforms, etc.). You can usually just whip out a debit card if you run into this problem because those are chip and PIN.

[@engadgetnerd]

Once again you made my day! Fascinating the difference between the Garmin and Ultra on that run.

[@JohnnyBoy87]

Have the ultra coming today! Got it based on your reviews 😎

[@misterfung]

One thing ive learned over and over from your travel videos: American Express SUCKS! lol, otherwise super enjoy just running around chilling with you as you nerd hard on the Ultra!

[@TheLarsUrban]

Altitude on your devices works with ambient airpressure and airplanes have pressurized cabins so you get enough oxygen into your lungs (less overall pressure would also mean less partial oxygen pressure, so less oxygen gets to your brain -> bad thing). They both give you the "cabin altitude" pretty accurately but that's not the airplanes altitude.

[@pujai24k]

Nice video, apple pay is nowadays accepted in Europe. But most of the store only accept visa or mastercard. Amex is to expensive for the stores

[@JulAlxAU]

American Express is just pain in the butt. Universally not accepted except mostly at luxury places. At least it’s like that outside the US. The reason for that is outrageously high fees that are charged to merchants. Long live VISA and Mastercard.

[@MudkipOnYT]

Love to see you succeeding, Shervin. Once again thanks for the amazing content!

[@justinsarginson1708]

Great video as ever. Just to say that American Express charge retailers very high service chargers, so a lot of retailers in Europe just don’t bother with them.

[@ShervinShares]

Yup I learned that real quick

[@beemax2014]

LOVING THIS SERIES ❤❤❤❤

[@desmondtee2820]

If I purchased an Apple Watch ultra US model does EU carrier support it? Also does it have carrier ban in certain country?

[@JossConnolly]

What running apps do you use for directions? Especially for trail running too?

[@bobtedorsthorst4101]

I had the exact same problem. On a 10KM run I had a difference of 10% in distance. So AW Ultra 9KM and Garmin Fenix 6s Pro 10KM. This also messes the pace up. 5:29 AW Ultra vs 5:05 Garmin Fenix 6s Pro. What to do about this? I read somewhere that AW needs to calibrate but 10% on a 10KM run is quite some gab… Other users experiencing the same ‘problem’ with the AW Ultra? Btw good job Sherwin!!

[@thesportlad]

Great to watch videos like these. Keep them coming! 💪🏻❤️

[@mungo75]

A lot of places in the UK and Europe don't take American Express, I've been told it's because their transaction charges are a lot higher. Amex isn't really that popular over here in 🇬🇧

[@James-zy4nc]

Really love these videos, but I dont understand why you’re still surprised places don’t take Amex? It’s simply not as popular outside of the US… there’s not much more to it.

[@vyfilm]

When you use apple pay do you need to pay a currency exchange or foreign transaction fee or any other fee?

[@Kukussi]

Amex is not accepted in most places outside the US! In Canada I was told they charge over 4% per transaction thus retailers don’t want to pay that much

[@MisterIm313]

Awesome video. Would love to visit Paris

[@willseth8180]

Do you have an international cellular data plan for your watch?

[@MrRobinson44]

Exactly what I wanted to ask him, like are you with AT&T or Verizon ?

[@fredfellwock]

Great KZbin channel… its going to be huge

[@rolandsmash]

Where in the video does the red screen from the thumbnail occur?

[@MonsieurOrds]

Hello there ! As far as I know, Apple Pay is accepted everywhere maybe it’s because your Apple Pay is linked to your American Express card ?

[@JayTeeLofton]

yo Shervin keep up the good work !

[@watchultra]

Do you know which French phone network your Apple Watch switched to?

[@krisvanaut]

That’s weird you could not use Apple Pay on manny places? Garmin pay is available on pretty much every contactless sales point as it’s linked to your normal bank card? Have you tried paying with Garmin pay?

Magnificent content, Shervin! These videos are wonderful. The beautiful scenery of Paris. The comparison with the Garmin Fenix 7X. However, here is a suggestion. Interview your lovely companion as part of the video. You have done that in the past. Please continue to do so. 👍

[@koshobai]

It's not the watch's fault, it's France's fault. You did see them lose the World Cup right?

[@matthiassventoest6800]

these are some of the better Apple Watch videos.. 100 percent, real world experience and situations. keep up the good work.

Never been this early to a youtube video

Congrats 🎉🍾🎊

Literally no one takes Amex what’s the point then

That altitude difference tho

[@viledanew]

AMEX charges too much fee to the merchants, that's why

[@ShervinShares]

i know so sad

[@101dezee]

Contactless payment aka Apple Pay is standard in Europe. Cash is bearly used

[@aparagarwal1234]

I live in Brussels and here cash is used more than contactless

[@lennihco]

Loved your Apple Watch Ultra videos at the beginning, hate them now. Why do you only upload videos of your Apple Watch? What about more diverse/different content? It’s getting a little repetitive.

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

The beautiful scenery in Paris. Comparing Garmin Fenix 7X with the Ultra. Barefoot shoes. Lovely companion. Not enough? 😉

[@KHudso]

WatchOS 16.2 was released today and there’s many reports that it has INCREASED battery life on the Ultra. Guess you can remake all these video again - it’s an excuse to travel and free content right? ;)

Absolutely nobody takes Apple Pay in Europe Shervin, Mastercard/Visa only.

Yo Shervin!! You travel with the Apple Ultra watch on Verizon or AT&T? I have both the Apple Ultra Watch 1&2 on AT&T because of these videos & love for tech! Just wanted to confirm my cellular would work on my Watch if I travel to Canada.

Maybe the watch is crap like their iPhones.
