    You make a lot of good points, hopefully Apple is listening, I've heard others mention a lot of the thing's you did.
    A smaller Ultra I would think is coming, or maybe the apple watch 10 will have a similar body of the ultra without the action button, good video.

    Just upgraded from series4 stainless steel to ultra2.
    Have been used it for 7 months.
    I feel it very heavy and don’t like its design.
    I am planning to back to use some old stainless steel model before series 10 release

    I've been a fan of big watches so I went for the Ultra 2 and ditched my Series 7. Depending on the band, the Ultra looks good in any business attire. My only minimal gripe I have about Ultra 2 is that it didn't come in a graphite color. I'm thinking maybe the future Ultra 3 might have that color option and it it does, I'll buy it and buy the stainless steel graphite watch band separately. Other than that I love everything about especially the battery life.

    Only thing I find annoying about the curved screens is screen protectors... I have gone through about 6 cracked glass protectors (which are a pain to apply) and ended up getting so sick of the glass that I am using the film protectors now, I need to replace the film maybe every 3 months or so because they always end up bubbling or peeling eventually.
    This is enough to make me want to switch to the flat screen of the ultra. I despise curved screens now despite how elegant they look. Same issue with the older Samsung ultra phones and why I switched to iPhones for the flat screens.

    We both have the Apple Watch Ultra and we love the light feel of the titanium body. We used to wear the aluminum small body Apple Watch because it was affordable. The stainless steel models were much heavier, but much more durable and they had a very hard watch face. The aluminum body's Ion glass would scratch easily. I love the style of the Ultra Watch and its protected crown. I have never met you, but it seems to me that the Ultra would be way too big for you, but the sleek stainless bodied watches fit you much better and would now be able to fit your watch under a buttoned cuff of a long sleeved shirt. I cannot imagine wearing the Ultra on a dressy night out, if those still exist!

    • @FaizAly
      @FaizAly  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I agree it has a lot to do with personal preference. I really do like the overall square design of the Ultra and the protected crown. I wish Apple made a stainless steel/Ultra hybrid. It would look amazing

    I am 285 pounds, 6’3 at 9% body fat. I love your videos but could you implement a larger friend wearing the watch because I agree that the watch looked big on you but the comparative to a larger wrist may look just right on others. You got me into other watches I had to send back because they looked amazing in you but kinda funny on a guy if my size.

    I never liked the ultra. The design is perfect for the intended user, people who do all these things that I don’t lol. I have the series 9 and it took me a while to get used to it because my past Samsung watches were rounded, which I prefer. But the AW series 9 grew on me big time now ❤

People want to know about performance! We call ALL SEE what it looks like and how we can change it up! What a waste of my time!
