Apple Watch Ultra Unboxing, Setup and First Look

[@zollotech]

Apple Watch Ultra is here. What do you think of it and did you pick one up? Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated.

[@Midnight20]

The one downside is the ultra is massive and rugged so if you attend formal meetings it wont look good. But that does not apply to me. Its unique and I think it’ll make you stand out and be noticed. I love the bigger screen and features. It makes me feel safer knowing I have it on my wrist. Thanks Apple, ill be getting it in the next couple of weeks

[@aaryandabra01]

I really do want it, I’ve pretty much used my Apple Watch Series 7 quite a bit ever since I moved out of home to another city for college. I’d like to have the Ultra to play it safe, like sure it does come with a price, but I feel it’s worth it when it comes to the hardware-software integration and the extended battery life and also the durability because of the titanium and sapphire crystal. Surely this is not the average Apple Watch that everyone should buy for normal use but I feel that as an everyday Watch it’ll be quite a beast!

[@kendraorndorff7642]

I am picking up mine at 1:15 today. Can’t wait. In my haste to get it ordered this morning I ordered the wrong size alpine loop. I hope Apple will let me exchange it. UGH.

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

They delayed mine for a long time. So I ordered the yellow ocean band. Coming today. Waiting. I have the midnight ocean band coming today also to replace the yellow one.

[@JasonSW]

I'm not really the kind of person that this watch is targeted at, but I decided to get one for the durability and the battery life. I preordered mine, but at first I couldn't decide if I wanted to go for the Series 8 or the Ultra, and by the time I preordered, the shipping times were out to the end of October, so I'm still waiting for mine.

Aaron has to be the best commentator for tech on KZbin. He doesn’t speak too fast. He doesn’t speak too slow he’s actual and factual and not opinionated. He’s polite and gracious. I really enjoy watching his reviews. They’re very detailed and to the point without taking all day with unnecessary banter.

[@chereihbeats]

You never watch mrwhosetheboss?

[@ingenunis5003]

Totally Agree👌🏼

[@notkimjong-un3019]

He speaks very very well and at perfect speed.

[@Abdurrehman-lm1ux]

I am also gracious

[@breadone_]

personally i have to watch him at 2x speed at least, he speaks far too slow for my liking

[@MarkManner]

I just got mine today. I had wanted the Trail Loop, but nothing was available here other than one with the Midnight Ocean loop. When I picked it up, the Apple store had a Starlight Alpine loop available separately, so I got it too. I've never had an (off)white loop, but it looks great actually. I like the way the Alpine loops feel when on. Super secure and light. A little more trouble to put on, but not that much, and I don't take the watch on and off multiple times a day anyway. I may stay with it rather than ordering the Trail Loop when it is available. The Midnight Ocean loop is not bad too, and I'll likely use it when doing something water focused. As for the watch itself, I like it more than I thought I would. This is my 4th Apple watch, and because of the size, is the easiest to read of them all. I need reading glasses, and with this watch I can use it to some extent even without them, so that is great. Too early to say about the battery life, but based on what I've heard it will go a couple days and nights, so that will be helpful.

[@gmega8]

Got mine a few hours ago and I’m absolutely amazed!! This will truly take the Apple Watch to the next level going forward!!!

[@Goffas_and_gumpys]

Loving mine, got it yesterday from a store walk in. Love the flat screen, the larger appearance and so far the longer, better battery. I got it with the green alpine, but I am using my Nomad straps and they work really well, and look great on the Ultra.

[@virgomonkey68]

I got mine today also…best purchase without even looking at it in store…it was a no brainer to buy it in terms of value for money…vs standard series 8….bam…no hesitation…its on my wrist….nice looking watch in my opinion..

[@SlammedCanada]

Just picked mine up and returning my series 8 stainless steel! This watch feels more premium and the display is amazing. Great review as alway!

[@josephw6977]

Nope. I’m sticking with my series 7. The screen is far too big and too chunky for me. Although it seems like a great watch for those users who will take advantage of the higher end features

[@1m_megapixels]

Literally just got mine … straight after work , got it delivered to my local store. It’s special… it’s like the original Apple Watch ⌚️ something new … I hike and fly drones so this is perfect for me … enjoy

[@ryanconklin1440]

“Probably won’t scratch unless you bump into a diamond 💎 “ lol 😂 because I am always bumping into diamonds 💎

[@beansdad70]

Received mine several hours ago. Updated from a Series 5, and I like the case and size. My only observation is that the bezel around the screen seems unnecessarily thick. The screen, being protected by the thick frame of titanium, should extend all the way to the edge. IMO. That thick bezel just looks out of place. Everything else I really like about the watch. Setup was quick and super-easy.

[@mohamadamirulabdlah6089]

For the long time, i really want to try how the feel using apple watch, but when i think it deeply, it seem unnecessary for me right now..

[@mauriceclemens3286]

I bought mine yesterday. Was kind of a pain to set up but once it was done it’s great. So far I’m very pleased with it. It replaces my old Apple Watch which I kept,what they offered me in trade in wasn’t much. The pulse oximetry feature is a bit erratic,gives varying results if you move at all. ECG is more stable than my Apple Watch 6. I like the green band,one of my favorite colors.

[@ryanroche13]

So I finally got mine last week, charged it up took it off the charger at 0613 Friday morning. It’s now 20:38 Sunday night and i still have 29 percent battery. Lift to turn on is off, and constantly on is turned off. I either have to tap or press the button to turn it on. This is incredible battery life.

[@Medz1100]

I picked up the Ultra today and am returning my series 8 graphite. The series 8 graphite just looks exactly like my series 6 so at least with the Ultra I feel like I have a new watch.

[@kendraorndorff7642]

Just picked mine up. Love it. So happy I got it. I have a 165mm wrist and it looks fine.

[@krazyyyduniya]

The cleanest & clearest unboxing on YT ! Keep it up....

[@jeffraymond9375]

Thanks!

[@zollotech]

Thank you

[@daniebello]

all of apple’s loop watch bands are designed to be worn with the buckle/securing mechanism facing away from you when worn. it’s most clear if you put the securing mechanism on its tightest setting. you can verify if you look at the way all of Apple’s watch bands are displayed on their website and at their store. The other easiest way to tell is the band size that is displayed on the inside of the band (49mm/45mm/44mm) always goes on the side closer to the crown.

[@Calbear707trees]

Not too hyped over the watch to the point where I’m dying to have one. Same software as the watches we now have, only difference is the physical aspect. Chill.

[@chriscarpunky]

Mine has been off the charger for 13 hours and did a 30 minute gps activity plus since it’s new been playing around with it a lot and it still has 80 percent charge.

[@mas96]

I think it's definitely worth it! Especially for the battery life is super amazing

[@mas96]

I got the Apple watch😅

[@Braden12]

Literally been waiting for this all day!

[@alanincentraljersey]

Just got mine. It feels a little heavy, coming from a Series 7. I got the Ocean band in silicone because I hike and don’t want to ruin a band with sweat. It is now fully charged and I’m anxious to see how long the battery lasts. This is my favorite time of the year, I got the iPone 14 Pro Max last week and the bonus this year was the AirPod Pro 2 today too. Truly Christmas in September. I watched all of your videos and appreciate your reviews.

[@kasperk679]

Danm that is a serious upgrade month! You must feel like a little kid on Christmas morning. 😊

[@alanincentraljersey]

@@kasperk679 I really do. I’m not a kid and barely get presents, so this is my time off the year. Applemas!

[@NigelJones]

In the last few months I've had new 16" mpb pro max (work paid), ipad pro 11, airpods 2 pro... Ok the phone is a year old 13 pro max. And now just had a s8 45mm alu delivered and trying to figure out do I keep or go ultra. but it's 89% more cost for little i'd use EXCEPT the durability aspects. Think it looks so cool though.....!

[@NigelJones]

I should add my current AW is a series 2 alu!

[@alanincentraljersey]

@@NigelJones I have the iPad Pro 12.9”, I go big when I go. Def get the Ultra,it’s worth every penny.

[@adityalindson]

Can we have an Apple Watch with all these features but in the stainless steel design? I want the features but also the sophistication

[@harleyrdr1]

13:12 - I wonder if it actually senses depth based on water type. I’m not a scuba diver but I think the water pressure is different between salt water and freshwater. I’d be really interested to learn this if anyone knows please comment!

[@reynaissance1000]

I love how everything is well explained and smooth. ✨

[@Rockboyishard]

To turn the watch on u don’t need to hold ur finger to turn it on, u just press it fast and that pretty much it

[@corpnupe85]

Traded my Series 6 Watch for the Apple Watch Ultra. I picked up the Ultra today.

[@unknownuser9958]

Careful when removin the watch of the titanium on the band hits the watch it will scratch it

[@fotografdj]

I am interested in how accurate the measurement of s p o 2 is.I would like to continuously measure the values. my lungs are damaged and I use an oxygen machine.

[@AV84USA]

Is it 40 meters depth rated or 40 AppleMeters depth rated with no moisture warranty?

[@kvaf79]

In the USA it cost 800$. In my country cost 1040€. It’s very nice a little bit different from the other Apple Watch but it’s too expensive for a Watch that if the screen brakes down from a hit or the battery begins to die what would be the cost to fix it?For that money you could get a good regular Watch that you can repair it or buy 2 normal Apple Watches!!!

[@DennisBeeler]

I purchased one and I really like it thus far. My son in law had already purchased one and loves it. Thanks apple for another outstanding product.

[@Joe-wk9ow]

I think i like the aesthetics of the original watch. If they would have kept the curved screen and had more than 1 color. I would probably be interested just because I like the idea of a bigger battery.

[@Wawalsh1234]

Just received mine, absolutely fantastic. Ordered mine with the orange band. Does not feel any heavier than my 7 series aluminum. Much less than my Garmin that I tried last year. Great job Apple.

[@TechOut]

3:28 I hate when I scratch my watch screen on my diamonds!

[@razerwirechead]

finally someone who showed the braided loop with ultra kudos to you!

[@jackygreen5630]

My husband bought the ultra today ❤ there are so many features

[@TerranceNock]

Your commentary is so good I can close my eyes and follow you with my imagination lol

[@maxamillion7874]

With the siren its quiet is would be louder to scream

[@hemantsingh4808]

Finally you agreed that it does have S8 chipset. Otherwise you were saying that Series 7 watch has S6 chip.

[@Happynsnappy]

I love the look, especially with the navy blue band!

[@pohalsted8847]

Can we get a matching titanium Iphone and titanium Airpods Pro. Thanks Apple.

[@WhittyPics]

Now you are ready to go scuba diving. Will that band work in a 44 or 45mm Series 6 or 7 watch?

[@AlfaPrints]

All of the ultra bands fit the 45mm watches. I don’t know if they fit the 44mm watches.

[@MaheshSays]

You are the biggest and best customer to Apple.

[@titanium7992]

This is the first Apple Watch I've had since the first generation. I prefer traditional analog watches and I have a decent collection. Most of us won't use the Ultra to its full potential, but I didn't buy it believing I would. I view it as my Superbike. It's made to be leaned over far around a race track and to hit high speeds, but my bike will never hit the limits of its engineering. I bought the bike and this Ultra simply because I wanted to and could. So far I'm enjoying the Ultra, but $800 seems a bit steep for this. If you compare the Ultra to any iPhone (12 and above) it seems like customers are overpaying for the tech that's in the watch and the included band. The watch band selections at launch are disappointing. I believe there are nine total options. Mine is the ocean yellow (purchased in the Apple Store). It looks good in person, but I would've preferred more color and material options. As a watch collector I feel a $800 watch (smart or analog) should come with higher quality bands. I purchased a paracord watch band on Amazon, which is a nice outdoorsy alternative. I'm currently looking for a titanium band as well. I recommend potential buyers try to watch on in a store to determine if the size is right for them. I love big watches and this is a big boy. I'm not sure those with smaller wrists will like this size.

[@timothywise9731]

I got my watch but could not do a single thing with it as as it was not charged up before it was sent to me. The watch was dead. They included a charger but I dont have anything I can plug it into. It requires a USB-C adaptor and I dont have one. You would think that Amazon would have suggested pairing my purchase with a proper adapter, but they didn't

[@alaskanmaniac858]

I do like the ultra, but 799 is too much money for a watch when a person already spends 1200 on a iPhone. I’ll most likely stick with the regular Iwatch 429 in gps is good enough

[@kingsleyoseigyamfi8939]

The best Tech guy so far💯

[@NickW90]

If I didn’t buy an SE a few months ago I’d buy this one just for the larger display and battery life

[@tomkachadoorian5553]

Etsy sells the bands for like $20.

[@melgross]

Interesting on how some say it’s heavier than they thought, while others say it’s lighter than they thought.

[@Joosseepph13]

You're the first yt reviewer that says it's heavier than expected 🤔

[@dejiavu269]

That’s what I was thinking

[@marc9073]

I left apple at series 5 for the Garmin Marq. Is the ultra good enough to go back to apple?? The battery life is still not good enough for me

[@zackdl]

Now that my iPhone 13 Pro Max is fixed, I decided I’d upgrade from my series 4 to an Apple Watch ultra. It won’t be here for a month but I’m excited.

[@99duval]

I’m am trying so hard for me to justify buying this watch because I love the size…I just can’t justify it tho..will stick with my 7…great video tho

[@Bullet_1987]

What about gps from phone when connected?? Some youtubers is saying that the watch 8,se2 and ultra always use gps from watch even when connected to phone. That is not good for the battery. I cant find in anywhere on apple web. Thanks

[@seinfarage9959]

Looks much better on your hand and everyday is an adventure and I think you never know when a great adventure pops up... It's the first apple watch I like...

[@TechDad-th2ph]

Great unboxing as always. Your the only one that has actually gone through the set up process instead of skipping forward. Thank you for that!

[@jampav33]

Do I have to delete my old Apple Watch before setting up the new one?

[@Shundave]

I’m definitely not the outdoor type. My Series 7 does everything I need so I’ll stay with that for this year.

[@jagged6373]

Be interesting to see if it’s actually sapphire or apples version of “sapphire”. Guess we have to wait for JerryRigEveryrhing

[@viazel2796]

I'm not the Triathlon person but I do walk and roller skate! Are the watch faces from Series 6 compatible with the Ultra? Because I don't walk 24/7 nor roller skate 24/7! I had to stop running! Thank you!

Mines arriving around the 23rd of this month 😊😊

[@newsnetworkz]

Basically we cannot put bumper around the watch, can we?

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Is the setup the same if you are adding the Ultra as a second watch to your phone? And does the fitness app and health app connect both watches them?

[@Chitown84]

I got mine this morning and I’m already in love with it😊

[@Inkbyjeremy]

Do you have to purchase cellular plan cause I’m with straight talk so how does that work I didn’t use the cellular on my Apple Watch 7

[@edtv6453]

The loop on this Alpine loop band hits the top of the watch causing damage over time. You can see this at 7:51 of the video. Not a good design. I never used/returned mine after seeing the reviews about this issue.

[@ShakerHP]

Do i have to use the Titanium charger that came with the Ultra? Or can i use my existing apple watch charging disk/pad?

[@alexaddonizio]

I am going to wait until Christmas time to upgrade. I like the titanium body and screen size as well as the battery. I want to start swimming with my Apple watch but I don’t trust the water resistance on my 7 for some reason. Also if the trade in value is as bad on the ultra as it is on the 7 then I won’t be upgrading.

[@minecarftproductions5849]

I can’t wait to get one of these, I’m getting one this Christmas I think

If you want a sapphire crystal covering the display the alternative to this watch is the stainless steel 45mm which costs $750. Makes the Ultra seem cheap.

[@Mickiesfunadventures]

Thank you for the elaborate review. I ordered the series 8, and changed my mind to get the ultra. Waiting impatiently for it to arrive. My niece bought the ultra, and she loves it. I was able to get a look at it from her, and I think I will also love it since we’ve had about the same taste in the Apple gadgets.

Your niece must have large wrists then. This watch is just way too large for me so I went with 2nd gen SE.

[@happyfreeky]

I picked one up yesterday just for the monitoring features - sleep, heart rate, calorie burn, etc. I'm not disappointed so far (other than that I had to get an extra cellular plan and pay an activation fee, as well upgrade my non-functioning iPhone 6+, reactivation fee, etc. But that's all AT&T, not Apple). Even though I'm using it for myself, I think it will help me as a coach.
