Im only 2min into the video and i wanna say this… why pay $800 for a watch when you can get the phone for the same price, and IT DOES MORE…. After finishing the video i agree with ur sentiment, i bought the iPhone mini because i have an ipad so no reason to spend xtra money on simply having a bigger screen, BUT the watch cant replace the phone till it has a flashlight and a camera [for scanning items not photos] and it has to at least last 18hr with heavy heavy usage, meaning playing music, using gps nav, and maybe watching a video voicemail, after that im all in
You make a great point Maurice - the phone does do more. But the reasons (which I’ll explain in the follow up video) I want to use a watch instead is BECAUSE it does less. The phone is a trap for me, and I need to be on it less. The watch doesn’t have some features but still gives me the level of connection I need without all the connection that isn’t serving me. And just so you know, it definitely can handle the heavy usage. Especially on low power mode. All of the things you mention, streaming music, gps, cellular on all day, multiple workouts a day, Apple Pay, calls, texts etc.. I can do for 2 days before it needs a charge.
Can you do an ecg on the phone?? The watch pulls you away from the screen life, which most of us are guilty of. I average 7 hours a day screen time. Now I have a ultra I average 2-3 hours at night doing the things I couldn’t do on the watch and checking socials. It’s drastically improved my day to day life!!! I love it and the $800 dosent bother me one bit!!
Absolutely love my garmin Epix gen 2 with my 14 pro I get almost 16 days on my watch with a hour a workout a day very happy with it
1937 for a phone every year is ridiculous
@@BrandonTalbot ok that’s good to know I assumed differently because other videos I’ve watched where ppl did this on an 🍎(but not on an ultra) and after 1 hr they’d lose like 25% after a gps trip music and a quick workout
this is the ULTRA way to live
Dude I’m sold
I have the Ultra 2 and absolutely love it. I left my phone at home when I went for a walk to test it out a bit and the only thing I missed was not having my phone with me to take pics of the pretty things I saw along the way. But… not having to figure out what to do with my phone while I walked was priceless.
That’s awesome! Glad you love it
This was so good, thanks dude! Love your energy. I started following the same lifestyle as you a few days ago after I bought my watch. No looking back. It feels so good to be completely free of distractions. And I end up doing most of the things I would do on a phone, on my laptop anyways. So usually in the morning and at night do I get to all those items. But it's great because I end up not wasting my time on it during the day, plus leaving those activities to the laptop discourages wasting time as I don't really scroll social media or anything on my laptop.
Eli! Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m stoked you liked the video and your watch!
Awesome video,can’t wait to see what they do with future versions of the Ultra!
Josh, thank you so much for watching. Me too! the Mark II COULD BE INTERESTING!
Great video Brandon! Such an interesting concept. Having a more limited device might help people be more present with things when they are out too. I always see everyone staring at their phone and scrolling. I'm curious to see if you continue using your watch/phone this way.
I’m excited to flesh out the follow up video. Thanks for watching Josh!!
Very good and honest review. Thank you.
Thanks Aragon
Dude...what a great video! Not sure I'm gonna ditch my iPhone 13 Pro yet for watch only but I loved seeing how you used it. And production is soooooo good too.
Hey hey hey Kevin! Thanks for watching man! I’ll be doing more experiments to see what the possibilities are.
Great videos keep up the good work
Thank you!
First week wearing the Ultra and loving it 😎.
Could you please tell what’s the brand of the black watch case in the thumbnail? Thanks!
Dang dude!! I never thought of replacing the phone with a watch. You made it look super possible! Great video dude!!
Dude thanks for watching! And it is the way
Great video , thanks 👍🏴
Thank you for watching!
Great video, Brandon! Like others have mentioned, I like the fact that it would force me to not use my phone. That way I don't get caught in the cycle of checking different apps consistently. Not having the ability to look things up might suck initially, but to think that I just can't wait an hour or whatever till I get home is absurd. Definitely considering that watch in the near future.
Dude I’m literally addicted to my phone, and I was legit having withdrawals, it took a few days but the anxiety of not being able to look something up the moment I thought of it has simmered.
@@BrandonTalbot Yup yup. That sounds like me. Recently, I've deleted every social media app off my phone, including the CZcams studio app and my Gmail. So far, it's been amazing and it's gross how often I reach for my phone and scroll to find those apps.
Awesome video bro. I think this watch is the first real shot we have of being more in the moment and not being chained to our cell phones. I think this Watch Could DO IT. ✅✅✅✅👍 let’s GO
Yeah I’m really excited to see how hard I can lean on it!
It puts you right on the edge of high tech that looks like no tech. It does everything the phone does and if that what you needed and aren't focused on social media or camera it frees you up again. Nothing in your hands but you're still connected. Puts you back in the world without taking you off the grid.
It’s really an impressive piece of tech
Dope vid! You may have sold me on the Ultra. Also, where did you get that grey and black hat you were wearing while driving. It’s dope
Thanks Tony! It’s unfortunately a one-off from an amazing company called Boundary Supply, but I am harassing them about making more so keep your fingers crossed!
Great video.
Thanks Alejandro!

Thanks for the great video Brandon! What is that darker band you are using? It looks like a black alpine loop? Looks cool!
Yup a cheap one bought off Amazon! And thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Someone finally acknowledging 10,000 videos on the same subject. Yet here I am watching this one
Hahahaha well I appreciate you watching mine:)
I’m still curious to switch over from an existing Apple Watch 6. Great video, thanks.
I’ll have a practical follow-up here in the next few days!
Another great video Brandon! I also have the 14 pro max and the ultra and the watch is kick ass!! Battery life is fantastic I am an ultra marathoner and enjoy the better battery life. Quick question for ya I noticed the magnetic stand for your iPhone, who makes that one? I wouldn’t mind looking it up on Amazon. Cheers from Canada and keep creating content.
Yeah yeah thank you so much for watching! How do you like it for your ultras? It’s Anker. They make two types, hates the one with the watch stand
@@BrandonTalbot The ultra is amazing for my races I will be racing tomorrow albeit a shorter distance than usual so I’m looking forward to putting it to the test…
@@RubberMeetsTheRoad Let me know how it goes! and good luck on the race! I'll be rooting for ya!
I just added it to the product section!
I kinda enjoyed the video very much to be honest. You’ve got an extra subscriber. ✌️
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have an Apple Watch SE with cellular, man does cellular makes a big difference, now I don’t have to remember to pick my phone when I go out, or fear of forgetting my phone in random places, to me cellular is the way to go for my next Apple Watch, although my first Apple Watch was a series 1 Apple Watch, but it was too limited for some thing for example no gps, no music streaming even if it was connected to WiFi, although I could download music for offline playback, the other area I saw much improved was that I went from having 8 gb to 32 gb on my current Apple Watch SE.
Yeahhhhhhh buddy.
Good video!
The possibility of ditching phone for Watch has been attempted before on previous versions of the Apple Watch but were heavily dented due to battery drainage .
The ultra has already massive passed that hurdle.
So I am optimistic that lack of phone would reduce unnecessary screen time there by paving a way to doing something more productive!
Well done !
Thank you Raj! Yeah it’s been a game changer for me!
I am extremely addicted to my Ultra! I am coming from a 7 Nike and a SE and I still wear those but out of all 3 my Ultra is my ultimate favorite Apple Watch ever and so happy I have one!
Hell yeah! Stoked you’re enjoying it!
This is interesting because I have been debating when a watch would supersede the phone as the primary connection device.
There are some weirdly intriguing positives that I’ve seen via the change. Which I am going to do a video on
I was also all in after watching a few seconds of that Apple Watch Ultra ad😂😂😂. Loved the video and the experiment. The only thing I’d change on the current stats is “Doesn’t run”.
😂
I went with with series 8, wanted the ultra, but in canada it's $1300 - hard nope, maybe series 2 ultra. Great vid Brandon! makes me want the ultra again.
Gooo that’s a big price swing - I’m glad I have it but the next time I have to upgrade I’m definitely going really cheap on the phone and putting the money in the watch
Yeah $1,300 here in Australia too. I went for it. But I had to bend over.
Cool video
Thank you!
Sort of what I’m looking at doing in similar use cases now
Not doing much though till I know if a new ultra is arriving next month
Yeah should be interesting!
Awesome video. On your point about email I don't have the default mail app but I use this app called Spark and it lets you reply from the watch.
Oooooo Steve you’re the Champ!
You can reply to emails received on the watch. It’s at the bottom of the email if you scroll down to the end of the email. I just did it on my Ultra. No need for a third party app.
@@kboo74 Yes I have tried that, and it doesn't work for me, that's why I mentioned it.
where did you get the protector cover/case for the ultra??
Oh man, off of Amazon. It turns the Watch black and huge which is sweet!
I have been on the same journey to see the limitations of leaving my iPhone and relying on my Apple Watch ultra. For me I believe you require both. However, I have noticed that my iPhone screen time has massively been reduced! I believe the Apple Watch Ultra is a good purchase and have no regrets.
Yeah you technically need both and realistically you do too but it’s never been so capable. Thank you so much for your comment!
Hi, I have a 13 Mini (256GB) and have decided to stick with it! My new Ultra helps to reinforce that decision. While I can’t completely replace my iPhone with the Ultra, it does make it more likely that leaving the Mini home depending on what’s going on. Run up to the store, don’t need the phone. Going to see a friend, don’t need the phone, etc. There are times where I can see that the Watch is all I need. If anything is apt to be upgraded, it will be my Watch not my iPhone. I have already reduced my iPhone to pretty much just a phone with a bunch of Apps. There are things that the Watch just can’t do by itself, like using banking and credit card apps. There’s no way to do FaceTime for security. There are other functions that make the iPhone necessary. However, there are times and situations where all I need is my Watch and the Ultra just shines at that point.
Yeah it’s been quite liberating!
You can put an internet browser and CZcams on the watch. You can reply to emails
Great info
Excellent review. I can’t agree more.
By the way, easy to answer email with recording. It is a bliss to use!!!!
The Watch Ultra is a Beast!
Please explain!🙏🏽
@@BrandonTalbot When you receive an email, you can answer it... Either with the keyboard (which is too small for me even though I have an Watch Ultra) or with the recording option on the bottom right side.... Record and what you say will be written very well, even with punctuation.... I’m French and I answer in English. and it works amazingly.... I've discovered this not long ago though, but that's a game changer to be able to answer email on the go!
@@BrunoDECOURCY Thank you sir!
@@BrandonTalbot Most welcome!!!!
I just got a ultra 2 about 3 weeks ago I tested this leaving my phone at home and I didnt miss my phone at all as long as the important people can get in touch with me that’s all that matters I think the only downfall is that you can’t take pics other than that it’s fine imo battery is great last me about 3 days with about 30% left
Nice!
I originally brought the Apple Watch Ultra. But decided to return it because it was too big for my wrist. I ended up replacing my iPhone and wallet with the Apple Watch series 8 41mm with the Nike white/platinum band instead.The productivity of the iPad Pro with the mobility of the Apple Watch is an incredible combo imo. I also found a way to make the series 8 last all day 5:30am to 9pm on a single charge. No matter what Watch you choose. I definitely recommend it. I haven’t looked back since.
How are you using your iPad pro? What is the workload you’re putting on it? I have an iPad pro and I use it, but anything I can do on it and not do on my phone I’m keen to do
@@BrandonTalbot Yea I uploaded a video showing my setup. I use my IPad Pro as a laptop replacement. I’m not a videographer so it does the job well. I mainly use to play games, watch CZcams videos, apply for jobs, zoom interviews etc. Hope this helps.
Do you think is posible do that with an Apple Watch SE 2 Cellular? Id love to go to work and left my iPhone at home but im afraid that the battery died before I come home
Apple Watch Ultra: sold in higher amounts than iPhone 14/14Plus all together.
Tim Cock: “Wtf?”
I wouldn’t doubt it! It has been my favorite product of theirs in a LONG TIME
I don’t use low power mode for my watch because I can get through a night & a day on a full charge but that’s very minimal use of my phone if I have it on me I’d only use low power mode if my watch gets to roughly 30-40% I don’t see the point in turning the mode on straight away
That’s good to know
Makes me want one more
One of my favorite purchases
@@BrandonTalbot I’m going to have to upgrade my series 6
This was Great!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting, leaving phone at home....maybe that's the future for some, always have my phone with me for business, using Google notes for the electrical work I'm doing. Using the watch would be great when not working.
Yeah I still find myself in some situations where I just need it, but I’m doing what I can to minimize that.
Can you use it with data from 2-5 hours away?
I would love for one of you all ultra video content providers to do a step by step on HOW TO use the ultra without your phone. How to set up your music, maps, Apple Pay etc.
I could definitely try, but it’s also very much like the phone. When I bought it - most of the apps ported over, Apple Pay was set up just like the phone etc… so there’s not really a learning curve of how to do it persay. I hope that makes sense. Like if you bought one - you’d have no problem at all doing anything I am doing because it’s done during the setup process
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it:)
TOTALLY DID THE SAME THING
30 seconds into the promo I was ready to trade a kidney for the new watch. Not apologizing for drinking the cool aid here. I bought it and 6 weeks in I’m still geeking out.
I would love to go all in and run deserts instead of sitting in bed watching you tube. Not there yet but who knows. The worst that could happen is I get up and get fit and see more of the world. Not a bad goal in life right?
I have tested this real world for heavy workout days of 2000-200-20 and it still has plenty of juice left to track my sleep. A quick charge while I’m getting ready to go in the morning and it’s back to 100.
Hahaha that’s freakin rad man! Thanks for joining in fun!
What band you have at 7:01 ? Canyou share the link please ?
Black 3rd party alpine loop from Amazon
I haven’t used a wrist watch in over 10 years and the Ultra is my very first Apple watch - I feel like it’s a watch made for Agent 007 only I get to wear it 😄
It’s pretty damn amazing for sure
Dog named Henry: subsribed.
Reason enough right? Haha. Welcome aboard!
@@BrandonTalbot Absolutely! My Henri spells with an "i" :)
I think that the whole point of being able to ditch your phone for the watch is exactly as you use it, not doing emails and surfing the net etc as they would just trap you doing all them things on the watch instead of the phone meaning you still spending lots of time on that 🤦🏻♂️ I think it’s amazing!! So happy with mine
Thanks James, and yes that’s the ultimate goal, ditch the “connection” that isn’t serving me.
I plan on purchasing the Apple Watch Ultra and a iPhone 13. I would ONLY buy a Pro or Pro Max if I can get a super deal. However, I plan on using my watch as my primary device and the phone only when I know I'll have tons of down time for surfing the web or taking pics. Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin!
Do you keep cellular always? $10 a month is dirt cheap. Worth it to have in a pinch.
1:50 in finalnd it is 1000€
That’s a grip of money
Wooo vid 😌😊☺️
LFG!!!
You said in your video you don’t know how to reply to emails on the watch. Open a received email and scroll down to the bottom of the message and you will see reply, reply all, and other options.
Yes, I don’t know how to do it, because the self explanatory method didn’t work.
It seems like ppl are avoiding the series 8 and going for the ultra
It stole the show
I use the iPhone camera too much to leave it at home. Sending friends screenshots, photos at accident scenes, photos/scanning of documents, price checking, QR code menus, photos of my boo boo when I fall running, pic of a product I want to research later, photo of weird street performer, just too many things I’d want a camera for. 📸
Those are all really good reasons not to leave it at home
I'm a Garmin user, I have 3 days with my Apple Watch Ultra and it is perfect, almost not touching my phone, only for Waze or taking photos I would like to know how to reply emails also, I don't regret with this product and I'm staying with my iPhone 11 for more time
Nice! Glad you enjoy it so much
Nothing will replace the phone’s ability to double as a keyboard.
Or just use the watch and not even need a keyboard. Haven't typed a message in a weeks on my phone.
@@BrandonTalbot I write for a living, so... iPhone wins.
Interesting video but the background music was extremely annoying and repetitive, couldn’t finish this
No probjem
To reply in email just scroll to the bottom of the message and press Reply...
Yeah for one reason or another Kim, that doesn’t work for me.
Because it stay charge but can't make calls and the 8series got more views on CZcams
What???
@@BrandonTalbot Lol I was saying the watch can't make calls so I wouldn't buy it and the reason people is buying it cause it stay charged for awhile tht watch is for the outdoorsman
@@benjamin48th But I make calls with it all the time?
I would never buy that Apple 14 pro max to big and heavy
I got huge hands so I prefer it
@@BrandonTalbot but I bought the ultra ;)
@@Mariposadeluz Right on! I hope you love it:)
Browsing the web easy on Apple Watch with µBrowser and sending emails no harder than sending them on the iPhone. Thanks for the video.
Still haven’t figured out the email thing, but I don’t want to browse the web on my watch, so no problem there
I've delivered a thumbs-up, however, I'm still racking my somewhat flawed brain. Why limit the experiment by triggering power mode and limiting calls? Surely normal usage would have been much more useful for us, your loyal viewers. Great style and commentary 👌
Merson you make some very valid points about the experiment and if I can be honest with you, the original direction of the video was just going to be about low power mode, but I realized that it was super boring, so I reshot the talking head stuff and went with this faster paced video about just leaving the phone at home. I was planning on doing a video like this anyway but I’m going to make a follow up as to WHY you should not just how you can.
@@BrandonTalbot Top Man! I'm looking forward to it. Best regards.
@@merson812 Thank you sir!
Merson just an fyi, a totally typical day: calls, texts, two workouts, Apple Pay, music being streamed for at least 90min, and one or two routes will give me 2.5 days when not on low power mode. That’s while I’m working from home and cellular isn’t being utilized.
