Two Apps That Make Apple Watch Ultra... ULTRA!

[@madmalkav6540]

I think next months will be a journey of many users and developers trying to take this raw gem and make it what sports users really want, so this video is not only welcome, I hope it will become the first of a series.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

For sure! I'll have future videos as more and more apps pop up!

[@andrewdhome]

Agreed. I hope the action button gets some app love sooner rather than later

I’ve been using Athlytic for about a month on my Series 6 and couldn’t be happier. I had been considering a a whoop and abandoned that quickly.

[@dankspain]

Oh I didn’t Athlytic had gotten so sofisticated it looks comparable to Garmin’s offerings. Workoutdoors is amazing once you set it up and the developer has already mentioned that is working on an update for the AW Ultra and another down the line to take advantage of the always on display and WatchOS 9.

[@awesomebrotherhood7698]

Dear Chase the Summit, I know you pretty much own so many of its alternative softwares, Fitbit, Garmin, Whoop, and Oura. Can you wear them for the next five days and see the correlation of the readiness score and sleep score between those. Then we will know how they can slack up.

[@256k_]

honestly, if it wasn't for these 2 app recommendations, i probably would've sold my apple watch. i was so underwhelmed when i got it thinking "that's it?" but thankfully these 3rd party apps really step in and cover the gap left by apple. now the watch makes more sense to me, it's not the watch itself or the readings it takes, it's really a platform for other apps and devs to make use of and create their own version of a smart fitness watch. so instead of buying different watches for diff purposes, you buy one watch and make it focus on different purposes

[@kaikalino7349]

I have used the Ultra for roughly 77 hours [start at 97% on 09/28/22 @ 07:00] with consistent usage (text, phone, compass, Wayfinder, Shazam, steps app & sleep) the battery is currently sitting at 17% [end 10/01/22 @ 00:18].

[@phibus6058]

I've used Apple Watches for years. About 6 months ago I was training for Chicago marathon and I was afraid my Apple Watch battery wouldn't last. I am. a 6 hour marathoner. I switched to Garmin Forerunner 955. Big switch from apple. But after a bit of a learning curve, it was awesome for runs. Stable as can be. No glitches. No problems. Heart rate amazingly accurate for wrist. GPS awesome, even in Chicago Marathon. But after 6 months I got tired of trying to tell the Garmin to remind me to buy coffee, etc. I was so much in the apple ecosystem that, as awesome as the Garmin was, I missed the cellular capabilities and integration with other apple features that I had with my Apple Watch. I even was considering wearing one on each wrist, but figured that that was ridiculous and would screw up apple health. Finally last week after reading great reviews of the Ultra, I sold my Garmin and went back to apple. I can say I am underwhelmed at best. Yes I have reminders, calls, and other apple features again. But runs are so damned frustrating. HR is all over the place. Apple doesn't give me the summery of my days achievements etc in a nice and condensed way as Garmin did. Integration with other apps and services is terrible. I will stay with the Apple Watch because I am enslaved to the apple ecosystem with iMac, MacBook, iPads, and iPhone. But as a sports watch, I miss my 6 month affair with Garmin. The reviews of the Apple Ultra were, like so much with Apple, hyperbole and plain BS. I am barely more happy with the Apple Watch Ultra than I was with my Apple Watch 7. It is great for everyday life. But for running it sucks. And any review that suggested it is a great sports watch is BS. Garmin still reigns in that realm. But I'm happy I can still remind myself to pick up a loaf of bread after work with Siris help. But pain in the butt to try to get her to help me with running data.

I feel the same exact way about AWU as a sports watch. So I use my Garmin Fenix for training and AWU for daily living with an occasional workout.

The next features of Workoutdoors are AOD, Action Button and Navigation. The developer is coding hard to present these feature in the next time. Make a test end of this year and you will see what Workoutdoors is. The best App for Trailrunner and other sports.

[@redlightningBE]

As a (temporary) workaround, you could map a shortcut to the action button, which starts the Workoutdoors app. A small guide on how to work with shortcuts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3qmimZ_ja2ebdk. (could be useful for other apps as well)

[@RouvenKasten]

WatchOS 10 will be able to do a lot of new things! For many athletes one of the most important features is the opening of the API for 3rd party training programs like TrainingPeaks. With TP, many athletes realize the communication to the trainer and he creates the plans, for example, for running intervals. These had to be programmed manually or run with another app. This is possible from WatchOS 10. In addition, you can pair Bluetooth sensors such as watt crank or cadence.

[@markanthonywood6158]

Apple should just buy Workoutdoors and integrate the functionality into the Watch. Apart from the longevity of the battery it kills competition. It would make it a fantastic sports watch and it’s already the best smartwatch by far.👍

[@ChaseTheSummit]

That would be nice. I do like the native Apple Workout app but I do wish it had more activity profiles and a map page.

[@angelabassett7984]

I disagree. I love the WorkOutdoors app but it can be kinda overwhelming to get it customized to you. One of Apple’s biggest selling points is ease of use which includes simplistic apps that anyone can use. Leave the more advanced apps in the AppStore for people who need them.

[@darma8159]

Or, they might copy the product and launch it as theirs as they usually do.

[@Markiet-ue6cl]

I use both apps and they have changed the way I use my Apple Watch. Love workoutdoors and it allows me to use a heart rate strap and power meter pedals with my Apple Watch showing watts and cadence on the screen. Awesome. Great video again.

So the athletic app can make use of training data collected by workoutdoors? (Finger hovering over purchase button for both…)

[@davidw2739]

Wow, this is great to hear! The app already sounded good, but to be able to link my power meter to my AWU is a huge plus!

I think I found a setting to turn off the countdown or increase it. Check in the settings, I think it’s in there somewhere. Agree action button via shortcut or another way would be great too.

You can turn off the countdown and enable a big "START" button on the screen. But still no action button support.

Thanks für the Athlytics tipp ... The App does not need an account and does not log or send any data! Very nice attitude in this telemetry-loaded times.

[@hermanmorales4796]

Thanks! Finally someone who can see the forest through the trees. Hardware is important and software is equally as important. Apple and Garmin make excellent devices but good software can makes these products great. App’s like Strava, MyFitneessPal, WorkOutDoors, and Athlytic ,etc …Make for a more comprehensive user experience. I personally wear three devices a whoop band 4.0 upper left arm, Apple Watch 7 left wrist and a Garmin Fenix 7 on my right wrist. They all sync together on the Apple Health and Athlytic apps and give me a comprehensive status of my health and fitness. I’m waiting to receive my apple ultra soon which hopefully can allow me to reduce my wearables. Broadening your channels content to go beyond hardware comparisons and delve in the user experience is genius. Enjoy your Starbucks on me.

Hi there! Very nice review . Did you notice anything strange in athlytic metrics ?? it gave me a 47,8 vo2 max when i did 3 activities within athlytic app , and apple watch gives me 34 vo2 max 2 months now… also these were indoor activities, and apple watch health app states that vo2 max is calculated in outdoor activities.

Got the AWU as a Christmas gift and bought the workoutdoors app today!

[@maclore99]

Just received mine a few days ago. Love the build quality and, watching some of the other content creators bash it with hammers and drag it behind cars, the durability is very impressive to say the least. For me, a HUGE miss for this watch is the lack of a barometer complication and pressure trend graph. All of my Garmin and Suunto watches have this feature. It is a lifesaver in the backcountry for weather trend analysis. For me, this will be a desk diver until I see a functional and useful barometric function. Thanks a bunch for your videos. They are all very informative and helped me make my purchase decision!

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

Agree! I came from G-SHOCK, I miss the barometer already

[@betoinbeta]

Thanks for the recommendations. I just ordered my ultra. As much-as I love the Coros watch I miss all the smart features of the WatchOS.

[@savagedriver1967]

Can you tell me what smart features the AW has that Garmin, Coros etc don't have? I am genuinely curious to hear what these features are...

[@betoinbeta]

@@savagedriver1967 you can take phone calls and answer text messages, emails without the phone nearby. Essentially full internet access. While this might not seem like much you realize how valuable communicating on a watch can be. When I go on training runs it’s so much easier than having to answer family messages. Coros and Garmin try to have similar features but their solutions frankly are subpar and for example their messaging features only really work with Android phones and sadly the experience is not as well designed.

[@brentg2792]

Can you use Strava beacon for live tracking like Garmin connect live tracking? So, can you use Strava beacon by itself and then start a hike on WorkOutDoors and then also mark a waypoint using the side button on the ultra? I love how my Garmin Fenix sends a live track to my contacts whenever I start an activity. Activity, live track, waypoint. Thanks in advanced! Love your videos!

[@Randefelt]

One of Apple’s strong points is the third party app’s. I have a ultra on order so haven’t tested any apps, but one that I use on my phone for hiking is Outdooractive and its compatible with watch os. Don’t know if it logs all the sensors of the Apple Watch and so on but its a great app to find and plan hiking routs and other activities.

[@pierrelorenzogreco6934]

Is there any app that allows to view the health data on Apple Watch? From what I know those data are just available on iPhone , not Apple Watch

[@danb821]

Question for those who already own the Ultra. I’ve tried the watch on at the Apple Store and it feels/looks great but it’s also very chunky. Is it really possible to get used to sleeping with this big watch every night? The Athlytic app looks soo cool and I would love to geek out over all the sleep/recovery data that it provides, but I just don’t know if I could ever get used to sleeping with a big watch on my hand and if you don’t sleep with the Ultra every night all that cool recovery data would kind of be useless. Curious how others deal with this.

Do you have a tip how to use Workoutdoors useful for running? I'm trying for 1 week to find out with which setting (GPS, Health, Pedometer) I can display the current pace. With my Garmin Fenix 3 I had a field with the 3 second pace via GPS and that was great. Have tested with GPS and Health but the values are disastrous and not usable. The pace jumps within 3 seconds from 5:20/min to 6:35/min and that no matter what datafield. Currently, the Apple Watch is only used to record a run, read pace values or even intervals are unfortunately not possible.

Great review! I’m an ultra runner that’s previously used both Garmin and Whoop for over three years. Made the jump to AWU a few months ago. Like you said, best smart watch. No question. However, I still find Garmin superior as an athletic watch. I was not surprised by this. I made the switch bc 1) I was tired of paying for Whoop’s subscription model. It’s recovery and sleep functionality is excellent but real time athletic data is terrible 2) I wanted the smart functionality of AWU. I’m willing to sacrifice athletic watch performance. I like WorkOutdoors. It’s great. But they need Action Button pause-stop capability. Removing my winter gloves each time I stop to press the watch face is annoying. I’m excited by the App Store ecosystem potential as AWU takes on Garmin, Coros and others!

Is athlytic app better than garmin connect? Also I have a hard time getting my vo2max to work from Apple health, will this app develop its own vo2 score or only if it is generated from Apple health? Will workoutdoors work on Apple 6?

I wouldn't say it's better than Garmin Connect but it's a decent alternative and it's nice that it works with just about any device out there (or multiple devices). Right now I think Athlytic takes the same VO2max estimate from Apple Health... It's not generating it's own. Yes Workout doors will work on Series 6.
