I just got the Ultra, and it’s the best piece of tech I’ve seen in years. I got the orange alpine loop and I love it. I have a Squale 1521 and a Gsjock Frogman (analogue version) so I’m totally fine with spending good money on good quality products. Plus since I have those other watches, I have the ability to just switch them out whenever. But otherwise, this is my first Apple Watch and I don’t regret getting it as it’s tough as nails just like my other watches which I never felt with other smart watches I’ve owned. Apple has been knocking it out of the park since iPhone 13 and the m1. Well played Apple.

[@Wiseguy1138]

Couldn't agree more. I absolutely LOVE my Ultra. Like you I bought mine with the orange Alpine Loop- because I love orange bands but I have to say, it is my least favourite band. I ended up going to the Apple Store & bought the Black Trail Loop the moment my local store showed stock & I haven't gone back to the Alpine. I mostly use the Trail Loop every day unless I'm being very active in which case I throw on one of my existing Nike sport loops which also fit perfectly. I did keep my Series 7 Space Black Titanium and wear it occasionally (mostly when I need a slightly elevated look) but really it's the Ultra I wear every day and I recommend it to everyone who's in the market for a higher end Apple Watch these days.

[@darma8159]

The bias reviews here are cray

[@HabashyGaming]

As an emergency service working paramedic and firefighting (both volunteer) I see myself using the Apple Watch a lot especially with the alarm when sometimes I need to gain attention of other people. Bigger scream, stronger frame better battery life and most importantly looks great!

[@craigward26]

I have the same band and find it amazing, I think with the band being wider it makes it more comfortable

[@mattxdillon]

I’ve owned a few Apple Watches over the years and never really felt connected to them. This new one, I would leave my house with and be ok leaving my phone at home. I love it.

[@carringtonpageiv6210]

It has been about 2 months since i got the Apple Watch Ultra. i sometimes regret getting my iPhone 14 Pro Max with this as the watch covers almost all of my basic needs. i leave my phone when i know im not going to any fast food drive ins and its always so freeing to never look at my phone or care where it is. i default to look at my wrist and its so much quicker. Definitely suggest this watch to people who want to phone detox without dnd and stuff like that. Just leave it!

[@GreginLA18]

I love the ultra too. By the way, Gary, if you like the trail loop and you would like to try a different color. I bought the 45mm Game Royal/Midnight Navy Nike Sport Loop. It’s just as comfortable as the trail loop. I highly recommend this Nike band. I think you’ll love it just as much as the Trail Loop but possibly more and best of all it’s half the price of the trail loop. I bought it from the Apple store.

[@TsiriniainaRakotonirina]

In addition, when I wear this watch, I can't but admire it. It's one of the decisions I never regretted. Also, the speed of camera remoting my iPhone and the size of the screen showing the camera on your wrist. is amazing.

[@kermitzforg]

The knockoff bands are generally pretty good ! I’ve gotten a few different ones and happy…especially the orange trail and orange ocean ! I will say to buy Apple care, my first ultra failed and I wonder if it was water related but rumor is that Apple may or may not warranty because of water intrusion without Apple care plus, which is infuriating…. I’ll let you know on that .

[@mstyahwill79]

Can you recommend a brand who makes a good band?

[@jasongaudreau2075]

So….I am a Casio g shock fanboy. Currently wearing an $800 “abc” mudmaster (altimeter, barometer, compass) that also tells temperatures and etc etc. in 2020 the g shock line entered the Bluetooth foray of iterations. This includes step tracking and heart rate as well. SINN has made a band that can hold 2 watches on it. As of now it doesn’t include the 49mm ULTRA sizing, but definitely have the 22mm g shock sizing complete. I will also look into a dyi Frankenstein band for the mudmaster and ultra on one band one wrist.

[@jjlink300]

Yo can confirm the trail loop is goated I’m a normal aromatic watch wearer and this shit makes it feel like there’s nothing on your wrist. It’s nuts plus it’s really rad lookin love the orange tab

[@stephenrebori]

Just re-watched this video for the fourth time and I just enjoy the heck out of this I think you need to make an updated video about the Apple Watch Ultra doesn’t really matter what about I just enjoy watching you talk about it because I just bought one three weeks ago or so and I just love the heck out of it. Thank you for recommending it! 🎉🎉

[@jodystaveness7172]

You were final review I needed for me to say, “Yep. I can make good use of this watch.” I’m looking forward to having enough battery to finish 18 holes of golf with my yardage app and then some. Thanks, as always, for the great content.

[@scubasteve1555]

Love mine!! It’s replaced my Garmin Dive Watch and has been perfect for my needs!!

[@alaskanmaniac858]

I have the ultra and I get the 36 hrs of battery with cellular turned off, I would like to know how your getting 3-4 days of battery? Also in low power mode apple says up to 60 hrs how are you getting cup to a week. Tell us so we can get this also.

[@Big2Planker]

Yup, that does it for me. Going to order one up TODAY!

[@Aus10c]

The ultra is my expectation of what an Apple Watch should be. I have refused to own one until the ultra. I owned the series 1, and waited until the ultra to try Apple Watches again. I am pleased with the ultra.

[@zekew7546]

Video shows use of Ultra while face is located on the inside of your wrist, not on the top (outside) of wrist. I thought one cannot wear 7/8 that way (?due to sensors?) Which location on wrist is correct, or is both locations acceptable?

[@purebeaux742]

I have the Series 5 right now but the GPS (for my runs) is really frustrating me. I've been looking at this to fix that (plus the workout app upgrades are a bonus). I've been told to just buy a Garmin watch for running but I want all of the other "smart" features too plus Garmin watches can creep up to that price point (and beyond). GO BUCKEYES!

[@berelentless2572]

I’m going with the series 7 41mm Nike. It was a Black Friday deal and I’m excited for it

[@keithbehan4660]

Hi Ted, does the Apple Watch work wearing it on the inside of your wrist? I have recently just ordered the Apple Watch ultra and like you I wear smaller watches and wondering how it works on the inside of the wrist with the sensors etc.

[@pitchcontrol1200]

I loved the design of the Apple Watch Ultra. It was just alittle to heavy for my wrist. It was returned. I do miss typing on this watch!!

[@stephenrebori]

I decided to order the Ultra with trail loop and getting on Jan 7th! Thank you for the video 😀

[@GaryJahman]

This is my very first Apple Watch ever and I absolutely love it 😍 Works really well for my marathon training 💪

[@Wittywhittier]

Good video. Respectfully disagree with your take on the bands. Alpine works fine with me and I even like Ocean. Trail loop isn't worth the cost imo. But we are 100% aligned that this is a fantastic watch. Appreciate your videos! Cheers

[@TheGecko213]

I bought the Ultra a week ago even though I am a guy with skinny wrists. It is not more bigger then the usual Seiko and Citizen round watches. I dumped the Alpine loop strap and put i a Metallic Gray stretch band from Amazon costing $20 It does not look bulky on my skinny wrists and actually makes it look awesome. I also put a Titanium colored tempered glass bumper cover.

[@Fernando_1903]

How the trail loop works when going to the gym, to the pool etc when it gets wet, it gets drying quickly or it smells bad when wet? Would you recommend to have an ocean band for gym, pool, sea and one trail for daily?

[@dtaylortf]

My new Ultra should arrive today! Excited to test it out

[@pug_63]

Because I’ve got an Apple Store within a 15 minute drive, I was able to try on all the sizes/colours/models before buying my first Apple Watch late last year. I went for the 41 Starlight Series 7 Nike. The bigger watches just looked wrong on my wrist. Always best to try first, if you can 👍

[@vikasr2024]

I like how you go in great details. I am a detail kind of guy I notice ppl have such low consciousness makes them incapable of going in detail. So nice work !

[@BOWLINGPHREEK]

Hey there, I really enjoyed your review do you know if there is an app for monitoring my walks and runs?

[@xsalonga]

I unboxed mine (yes, I waited LOL) last Superbowl Sunday and the first thing I did was create a custom watch face with Rihanna right smack in the middle. Worth every penny. I know previous Apple Watches can do this, btw. But it made it extra special. The other features are cute too.

[@changen4125]

Tbh, just have two apple watches. A series 4 is like ~100$ used and a series 7 45mm can be had for 200$ used on craiglist if you are patient for a deal. Now, I use one for sleep tracking and another for day time calories/workout tracking. No need to worry about battery life, or babying it. You get a routine down and that's the most important thing, especially if you depend on the watch to keep track of your workouts and keep yourself accountable.

[@matthiassventoest6800]

still debating getting the ultra.., or getting the Coros apex 2, and wait for the next Apple Watch ultra

[@MicahsRants]

I absolutely LOVE my Apple Watch Ultra!!!! Well worth the upgrade I also upgraded to the AirPods Pro 2nd gen which is also a great upgrade! Great video. The way finder, trackback, battery and size of the screen are amazing!!

[@emilsecker7881]

The 2nd gen AirPods Pro are kind of a boring upgrade imo. What watch did you upgrade from?

[@Azn_Bran]

I wish I could get the new AirPods pro but the way they go into my ears causes ear infections due to the moisture getting trapped from my runs. I tried cleaning, using ear drops, and changing to foam tips, but nothing worked until I went to the regular Airpods as they allow the moisture to escape. I had to give my Pros to my wife.

[@CrueLoaf]

Getting mine in 10 days! Yes, Father Christmas is bringing me one. Can't wait!

Wow. This is a hyperbolic review. The battery life is improved but all these crazy claims of going 3-4 days (or a week) without charging are ridiculous. I use my Ultra for tracking workouts and I play music from it for 30-40 minutes a day and I need to charge it every other day. It's a great watch but let's be real.

[@alaskanmaniac858]

Exactly right. I have the ultra and with cellular turned off I get 36 hr of battery just like apple claims. I want to know how to get the 3-4 days, please explain how

One day they’ll have a watch that never needs charging. Maybe via the sun or even wrist movement. Science fiction eh?

The 3rd party trail bands are awesome quality tbh! I got the alpine with mine and while I liked it, it was a pain in the butt to take on and off the one time a week I needed to charge.

[@JCourts2k23]

Mine just came in today, got the black/grey Trail loop, and so far i love it, i honestly wont be using any of the health/fitnesss features, i just loved the size of the watch, love the band, super comfy. My eyes suck, so its super easy to see.

[@talenahembree7023]

Have you done a video of the MacBook Pro 16 inch 2021?

[@jeromescott2113]

I totally agree that it’s worth the upgrade from any previous Apple Watch, or worth purchasing if considering a smart watch. The trail loop band is very comfortable, it’s unfortunate it took so long for them to become available. I’ve tried many other bands and the trail loop is hands down the most comfortable. Personally, I prefer to pay the premium price for a genuine Apple band because I know the quality will be consistent and it will last. I’ve tried knock off nike sport bands and they just weren’t the same.

[@beareynero2673]

Omg I’m going to cry now! I bought the watch with the orange band it’s already shipped to me too 😢😭😭😭

[@Cjmboo]

I got the ultra but im thinking about returning mine ots just to heavy for me

[@rdatkins89]

i just ordered one, so see how we go.

[@redman2751]

Things I love about my Ultra. Battery life, screen size, second action button, speaker output for calls, and the larger size/style. This is the first time that I have bought bands for my Apple Watch. I like the way I can change the look of the watch overall. I can put the old style watch bands on and the watch mostly looks like a normal Apple Watch. Put a large fat band on and it transforms into a very rugged looking watch. Lastly, I like the new faces that have more complications but I hate that there's no digital version with 8 complications. I like the digital faces but would really like one with 8 complications. This sort of bugs me.

[@mattd8670]

I usually buy tech on launch day. I always upgrade my iPhone and I order on launch day; however, I have never been a person that upgrades my Apple Watch on a yearly basis. My last purchase was the Series 7, 2 years ago. Well, about 2 weeks ago I started noticing battery drop off. I went ahead and checked into the trade in value, and while not great, Apple was offering $165 for my series 7. I finally picked up an Apple Watch Ultra this past Sunday. I have to say, it’s amazing and the battery life is insane. Glad I made this purchase, and now I hope that this years Apple Watch Ultra, Series 2 isn’t so much better that I regret that I bought this a little under 2 months from launch day.

[@brothatwasepic]

As a huge apple fan I just wanted to note that I also got the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and I literally keep the heart rate and stress measurement on all day and take my blood pressure and sp02 once a day and it measures my sp02 all night and so far I am o ly down to 30% battery after 3 days. That's a new battery of course

not having internal maps was a major turn off for me. i have a garmin fenix 7x sapphire solar, i have to charge it once ever 24 days on average. that includes working out using gps 3-4 times per week, heart rate on 24/7 (apple checks heart rate once every 5 min during day), and many more.

The Platinum brand? I guess thats the name, the alpine band the metal buckle can slide out from the other end whick makes it much easier to take on and off. Which is awesome because i like the look of the band and its very comfortable

The problem with the ultra low power mode is you lose to much of the functionality.

[@emilsecker7881]

That’s fine if you really need it though

[@redman2751]

[@GpieTheEntertainer]

i have one. it doesn't last for days. lol no clue why people say this. it can last pretty solidly for a full day yes. that includes normal use and a 70 minute average daily workout. you will definitely need to charge it up at some point on the 2nd day in order to have the same use each day. definitely better than the regular apple watches, but this over exaggeration of how the battery is mind blowing is confusing to me.

[@callan69]

It’s easy as to text from the series 7 even while doing stuff

The Ultra has been amazing. The alpine strap for me is good

[@realdah]

I kind disagree about the battery life part. I recently purchased Ultra, and I still own an apple watch 6th stainless version, the battery life in Ultra is better, but only a margin. I used Ultra for a day and it used 38% of battery in just day time, it can possibly last two days but surely not a week.

[@A.H_610]

Is that watch band waterproof? Or does it soak water and remain wet if you get it wet when washing hands or whatever?

[@Eddie_-_]

I have the same band. I sometimes shower with it and I don't sense it being soaked after

[@LeftThumbBreak]

It gets a little wet, but dries pretty quickly. It doesn't soak in water. It's quite thin. If you damp dry it after, it's pretty good to go.
