Apple is back with a new "Ultra" smartwatch that promises a bright screen, a faster processor, and new ways to interact with it hands-free. Nick has been daily driving the Ultra 1 for a while now, so will the Ultra 2 be enough of an upgrade to make him switch?

This is where he slides the Ultra 1 back into the box and keeps the 2 and then no one check it for years lol
😂
This is the way
Not that anyone would notice the difference. They look the same.
Ultra brain move
exposed
Yeah, Nick needs to do more videos. The candidness is just spectacular
Glad I'm not the only one that thought that.
2ND this!
you guys say that about every new host lmao.
Some of us enjoy new personalities with deferent styles and interests. Dan has become my favorite host ever. Wouldnt be able to enjoy him if people didnt say they want more. @@MobikSaysStuff
I was going to comment this too, was just seeing if anyone else was going to say this!
6:29 you have to tilt the way AWAY(I.e forwards) for full brightness for the flashlight. Apple made it like that so you don’t immediately flash bang yourself when you use the flashlight
And BOY is it bright. It’s a literal flashlight on your wrist.
You can also tap the screen to get full brightness
When using it at night, the normal Apple Watch works great as a flashlight. I bet this one is bright 🌟
That was not very “bright” of him
I mean most $dollar shop LEDs torches are brighter than the screen anyhow so if you need a torch just have one of those... heck most fit in a pocket or on a key chain. Or you could put it on the strap... why reinvent the wheel.
i want to know the story behind why nick bought the first apple watch despite normally not wanting to spend that kind of money. great host, would be happy to see him again.
The reactions on the first Siri test at 7:22 were fantastic! 😂 Nick needs to be on here more often
It could be weirdness. Or it could be that despite paying for those cores, they're not actually USED unless you're offline.
@@JamesR624 I don't know how speech recognition works, but 1 has been used by the same person for 1 year. Is it possible that Watch 1 has improved recognition for said user?
@@JamesR624it’ll probably just be a one off quirk that happens every now and then.
Nick needs to be on camera more 😭
Honestly, he is too chill, it's unengaging, i stopped paying attention after 10 seconds.
Yes
@@guillermojperea6355watches to many reels it's melting your attention span
Does he? He doesn't really kill it in this, its a pretty average review with not alot to note
Still better than Linus, the biased squirrel on coke @@guillermojperea6355
Nick is a great host!
Nick is actually a cool guy. More videos with him!
First LMG video that I liked in a long time. I like Nick’s laidback, no mumbo jumbo attitude.
why ft u watch the videos ?
FYI flashlight is WAY brighter when you aim the screen towards the ground. It dims when facing up, I assume to protect eyes.
Nick has an amazing voice and hilarious hosting personality!!!
Just wanted to throw some HYPE Nick's way, did an amazing job! A previous user of the product is there perfect person to review the new one.
You didn't show the new double pinch feature, for this you need WatchOS 10.1 ...
You showed us assistive touch which also works on the old one ...
Nick has such a soothing voice, need more of him in vids
I don't remember Nick Light hosting any other clips (sorry if he did). I loved him, well done. Please more :-)
Upgraded from the 1st gen SE to the Ultra 2. Absolutely love it. Wonderful for marathon training.
Very cool to see Nick do a video again, been a long long time. He doesn't have that 'ADHD' energy that some others do, but he did great and I think he would do great in some Mac Address videos.
"again"? What are his other videos? This is the 1st video I've ever seen him host.
@@hotheadtxtprobably been a couple years since I’ve seen him, I haven’t been paying attention to LMG much though
@@hotheadtxt he used to be in videos a lot more. Didn't say he was hosting those vids, but he was definitely in videos, and more than just a cameo. I'm talking about being in a large portion of the video, if not the majority.
Its always great to see Nicks face on a LTT video! Great breakdown and awsome feedback on the new watch.
I love how the price of the watch just keeps going up . First $1000 then $1500
Apple Watch 1 was personally the ultimate premium unboxing experience. Super dense plastic box combined with thick paper exterior box.
I loved the candidness of the video. Very practical. Need more reviews from him
I've not seen much of this guy before but that was such a well done review. More Nick please!
Nick with them down to earth takes!
Respect +
LTT needs to acknowledge the existence of sport smartwatches like Garmins and Suuntos. Imo, they are better in many aspects than Apple's and Samsung's offerings.
They are also way worse many aspects too.
They simply aren’t for the same audience. If you want proper app interoperability, podcasts, music, controlling your home, setting reminders etc. then a Garmin is godawful.
If it’s a rugged sport watch first with battery life as paramount then sure get a Garmin. But don’t expect any of the niceties that Apple and Samsung offer.
@@ViktorFury You should look up what the watches can do. My Garmin Fenix 7X can playback music, podcasts, control Smarthome, do reminders, etc. It is a smartwatch but with 28 days of battery life (even longer with power saving). If you want an idea of the features, check out a dcrainmaker review. I even use my watch to generate OTP codes for 2FA.
@@ViktorFury Also, Garmin Pay works everywhere Apple and Samsung Pay work (it piggybacks off the same tech) so I can use the watch for payments pretty much everywhere. I also love the built in LED flashlight, which is incredibly useful in night since it is quicker than reaching for a smartphone. You just need to double press a button. Of course, there is a touchscreen on top of the 5 buttons. It is really impressive hardware and the software has improved leaps and bounds.
@@ViktorFury And when it comes to actual fitness and sports, the difference is still night and day. The main con is that you can't play games or watch movies on Garmin watches. However, for many including myself, that is very low priority for a smartwatch. Most people would prioritize music, payments, health tracking, and notifications. And where the Garmin excels is doing all of those things, but with literally 28 times the battery life.
@@ViktorFury Linus and Luke often talk about how much they miss the pebble. Honestly, they really need to try a Garmin Instinct 2 or Fenix. They would fall in love.
Get nick to review way more often. He's great
Who is he?
@@funk44He runs Creative Warehouse. He's been at LMG since (at least they moved into their studio for the 1st time).
@@funk44he's an exec at LMG.
This was a great review!
Thanks for the blunt honestly, id watch this guy if he did a review for every single product.
Genuinely genuinely good
It's always nice watching a lmg og in a video. Great video Nick
If the finger pinch gestures get more sophisticated in future, I can see Apple marketing the Apple Watch as being able to improve the accuracy of Vision Pro hand tracking for that hand
Nick's voice is so soothing. I could listen to him review stuff for hours. We need more Nick content
Great review, nice and calm. I like it 👌🏻
I just want to see a focused comparison between the two action buttons. Responsiveness with the onboard Siri and all
Was cool to see nick hosting a video, really enjoyed his commentary.
loved this dude,,,
you guys should make him do more videos
Have you done any dark environments testing? The screen get dimmed too low to see the texting and gps. I have return the watch after w days of use and waiting on Apple to fix this issues.
Nick was so relaxed! Such a chill video, but had all the information, and I don't even care about Apple or Apple Watches.
I have an Apple Watch Series 6 and been thinking about an ultra but most of the time I just use my watch as a display or for my workouts and I actually use the flashlight all the time lol but I don't think I would get the most out of an Ultra 2 so I appreciate the honesty with this review, I'll just wait then :) I wish the watches were cheaper though even with discounts and trade ins I still ended up paying nearly 300 dollars for it which is way too much for a watch
Great, you wasted your money just so you can do the exact thing you were doing with your other product, so proud of this apple community
@@Petar120did you read the same comment I read? Why the negativity?
@@Petar120 🤨 What are you talking about? I didn't buy an Apple Watch Ultra 2. I'm keeping the series 6 I bought years ago discounted, I didn't waste any money, I got a trade in and a discount and a better deal for a product I wanted to use and do use daily.
I love your humor man
I actually really enjoyed him. He should definitely do more videos
9:14 best description ever! 😂
Apple Watch flashlight is reduced when faced up. To get the full brightness you need to point it away. It is to prevent bright light damage your eyes. 6:22
Glad to see my second gen SE is still the watch for me at a cool $250-ish. Series 9, and ultra have some neat features but I just don’t need or want all of that for double, or quadruple the price.
I’m actually surprised people prefer the Alpine band. I went with the Orange Alpine for my Ultra 1 because I love orange but my buddy got the Blue trail band and I thought his was way more comfortable and didn’t have the titanium clasp on the bottom scratching everything you put your wrist down on. I just got my Ultra 2 and got the Orange Ocean band and it’s by far my favorite and most comfortable.
I got it, my first...it has some bugs, but it is also really cool, since new to this but $1000 price tag, worth it? Not sure but it is cool and to take a call from your wrist, have you done that?
That’s not a real test of on device Siri, you need to turn your internet connection on the phone off as well. So that demonstration was still connecting to the internet so it could pull up the map. On device stuff is like setting a timer, not something that requires internet
My 6 battery is giving up the go so I need to get a new one... not sure if I want the Ultra or not... Great review! You pointed out features I wasn't paying attention to at the event!
The 9 is the better buy
If you don’t mind the size (honestly I have skeleton sized wrists and I don’t), the extra battery life and the titanium case are worth the extra penny
@@capybara5494 After posting I decided to bit the bullet and got one, was able to trade in my old Series 6 as well making the price a little better. So far I love it!
imagine a world where you can replace your watch battery without buying a new one
@@metallurgico I don’t get it ? Replacing the watch entirely is a choice.
Ifixit provide kits if you want to DIY, third parties and Apple are offering service to replace the battery.
this whole episode is ASMR i like it
More videos with this guy!
I have a Garmin watch and it was set to the flashlight by default. Unfortunately it's a gesture and it would get activated at night, I'd wake up with either a hot watch or a dead watch, and it took me a while to figure out why. Despite how useful that feature was, I disabled it. It sure would be nice to tie that function to a button! A whole side of the watch is free, just give me one more button!
wtf is a premium unboxing experience
You take the watch off every night to charge? But how do you record your sleeping patterns? I only charge my watch once about every two weeks, for an hour by my desk, and wear it every night to analyze exactly how I sleep. Then again I don't run ultra marathons. I have an Huami GTR2.
So...stupid n00b question here probably, if i manage to get a hold of an apple watch but don't like apple phones, can i use it with android phone, like i do with the airpods ?? what functionality will i be loosing ?
After the GPS offline mode test did he turn wifi back on?😢
YOU HAD ME AT NICK LIGHT!!
The Hitman of the short circuit
i like this guy, do more videos with him.
you guys should have tested if the double tap feature would activate when gaming or typing on PC
“Most premium unboxing experience”
Proceeds to not even unbox it at all. It comes in an outer box that packages the watch and the band, with beautiful artwork on the inside of the outer “box” which is more like an origami type container that lays open flat.
I don't feel he was very impressed and more than a little baffled that it was supposedly 'premium'
I work in construction and have the Watch Ultra 1, for a smart watch it has proven to be fairly rugged... but it's probably more smart watch than I actually need and was a waste of money in the long run
I just bought one. How is your ultra 2 under dark conditions? Mine goes a little too dim when it’s very dark. And even if my brightness is max it’s a little too dim for my liking. Is this normal or do I have a factory defect?
The unboxing was the same as my watch SE 2nd gen 🤣
It's been awhile since Nick has had anything more than a cameo in an LMG video. I think he had more hair last time though... Lol. Nice to see him again
More of him please
I like this guy, he needs to be in more videos!
Do more vids with Nick, his voice is very nice to listen to
More videos with Nick please and thanks
You are absolutely hilarious 😆 and brutally honest !! Love the video
Nick is great 👍
Never had an ultra, but I just upgraded from the Apple Watch 3 to the 9 and man the jump from the 3 to 9 is just amazing. I can genuinely use the watch for smart watch purposes rather than a notification screen I can access at work without getting in trouble like the 3. This is the watch generation I think that’s the real begging to the smart wearables
I ordered both (owning the version 3 myself). It was just such a dissapointment, to me it just looked exactly the same watch only a bigger screen (less border). I chose to keep the Ultra looks so much nicer, and not so boring design. Maybe I will be back one day, the moment they redesign the thing... how many years do they have the same boring design of the normal version (come on apple, you can do better)
I like this guy, his voice is soothing AF
Oh look. It’s the guy who was making LTT store plugs in the middle of an apology video.
This is like the weakest revision they could possibly of did for a 2nd full revision
He is looking sharp with that watch
Just upgraded from the series 6 to the ultra watch 2! WOW 😯 What an upgrade!
For almost this entire video - I thought the speaker or record player (or whatever the circle is in the background) was a cutout of the Apple Watch side button 🤣 I didn’t think much further about it- pretty much just watching /listening to the host, but that’s what my brain thought.
It's been a long damn time since I saw Nick in a LMG video, the last time I remember was in a CSF video. I mean, CSF + Nick Light = damn I'm getting old
That belkin 3-in-1 charger isn't really good for the iPhone's. I had 3 of them and had to send it back b/c we had to remove the case and then charge our iPhone's which isn't something that we want to do all the time when charging them. Any people on Amazon said the same thing about that charger from belkin.
Cannot get over the fact, that you got Michael Chiklis to present this.
Including a charging cable in the box is already enhancing the "apple unboxing experience" by 200%
Would love to see a garmin fenix or epic watch reviewed at some point.
Never thought I’d see Nick as main person on the camera again
Nick I miss when you were frequently in videos, hope you start showing up more again, even just for small stuff
The last line lol
Does someone know where to download the wallpaper on the screen on the left
The sarcasm is strong in this one. Nick must do more videos 🤣🤣🤣
That thumbnail is eggcellent.
Coneheads sequel looking good
This guy should do voice-over of Linus, almost therapeutic listening to him
Love his energy. Nick should be in more videos.
“My action button is set to workout” next minute “hey siri, where is the nearest Burger King”
if I lose my car in the parking lot, I use my trusty separation anxiety ridden Dog to find where I parked. Call his name, and he'll howl SUPER LOUDLY. Though now my car 's pretty unique and hard to miss since it's a unique color and a giant TUNDRA with the nice extended bed and crewmax cab. I went with their brown. Super classy looking. Great car, came with a gun safe, who doesn't need one of those. Got my Walther glock wannabe. Since it's one of my few CHEAP guns.
This has to be one of the least "premium" looking watch unboxings I have seen.
The LTT/PC World crossover is happening.
wdym? Do you mean to say that this guy looks like Gordon's sidekick guy and podcast host
love this guy 🤣❤️
I still don't get why you want a watch with such a short batterylife, get a garmin, suunto or any other sportswatch, they have 10x the batterylife!
And NO ultrarunner will use a watch with such a batterylife!
10X the battery life for 100X less features.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500you won’t be able to use any of those features on day 3 of a multi day trip.
Soothing voice, that is!
I love my Apple Watch ultra 2 that my wife bought me for my birthday, though it needs a software update as it goes too dim sometimes in low light
Apple isn't even acknowledging this issue. Have you spoken to Apple support about it?
If so, I bet they told you that it wasn't a known issue (they've been lying to customers about this issue). There is no way Apple Support doesn't know about it. Hopefully the return window hasn't expired on you because it doesn't look good for getting this issue resolved.
@@johnmagyar2087 I’m going to ring support tomorrow, my series 7 didn’t have that problem
Eyy. i missed Nick. OG right here.
I gave my Apple Watch 8 to my mom early this year so she could monitor her health. I’m going to be getting a new one soon and I’m contemplating the ultra. I don’t know if I can justify the extra cost tho.
The fact that Apple got OLED Material and not LED to shine at 3000 nits is simply astonishing that is considering most OLED televisions top out at 1200 NITS max
the flashlight was so bright it blew me into an ad
