I forgot to mention it, but I typically use it with not always on display and get 3-4 days between charges, and it charges in about 20 minutes or so on the fast charger.
I don't understand the hype as real. It is very bulky to actually sleep with and track sleep. It is also bulky to work out and definitely uncomfortable while performing any other extreme activity. It's own size and bulkiness defeats its purpose and i wish i could return mine for a full refund.
@@legee4544 Sorry to hear it's not working out for you. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time to get used to something. Not sure how long you wore it, but I'd give it about three weeks and then see if you feel the same way. It's got a lot of cool features and might be worth putting up with the bulkiness.
Yeah sorry to hear that. I find my ultra watch compared to the garmen epic gen 2 to be very comfortable. Absolutely love the ultra. However the sleep tracking needs to change…like apple get your 💩 together! A guy that works shift work this is just rubbish! Let it just simply track my sleep automatically without a schedule. Other than that as a commercial diver and outdoor man I love the crossover of a smart watch/ dive watch!👍🏽
What Watch face is that one? Can’t find it on mine
I'm a pretty active guy and never thought of the importance of an Apple Watch until about a year ago. I used it mainly to break Social Media addiction and wasted screen time. I love tossing my phone in my room and still feeling connected if I get texts or a phone call just from wearing the watch. It has helped a ton getting part of my life back.
The fitness features that the watch serves is just an added bonus.
Seriously though, if you need to break a social media addiction, get yourself a smartwatch.
Agreed, it's awesome
Awesome review man , ordering mine tonight . Great content as always
Great review. I’ve been an Apple Watch user from day one, and I’ve been waiting for this type of update. Prior to the Apple Watch I wore g shocks and seiko autos. The battery life & durability improvements are worthwhile. Thx.
Just got mine and still researching all the functions and thx for the info! 🤙🏼
This is my first cellular watch as well. The battery life is so amazing and my favorite part about my Apple Watch Ultra. Great video and I look forward to your next house video!
Awesome video, just what I was looking for! It would also be good to see one about browsing or sending email from the Ultra.
Good video, I was looking for Ultra reviews and stumbled across your channel….now I’m a subscriber… good job
Great vid, love the beard keep it up 👍 not much of a super tech guy myself but I’m right in the middle also, love hearing the unexpected uses:)
You did a great job thanks brother! I bought one.
Cheers
I just got an ultra and love it
Good review man
Loved the average adventure guy take on the ultra. I'm in the similar bracket of users. My work involves working outdoors (in and out of water mostly), occasional mtb, dive, b-ball, jog. What makes me pull the trigger was the dive comp capabilities as to have a seperate dive comp is good but the cost climbs and can't use the dive comp as a good smart watch and do others sports. Battery and mapping wise sure it's not as good as fenix but for those extreme cases, I bring along a handheld gps anyways. The ultra is a good do it all sport watch. It's a master of none though. Perfect for the average adventure excursions without going to extreme. I've owned Fenix 3, 6., Samsung Watch, OCEANIC OCS dive comp.. I love the ultra cause it can do it all granted that we know it's shortcomings
I absolutely love my Apple Watch Ultra and I’m also enjoying the AirPods Pro 2nd gen! I used your link to get the black case thanks for the suggestion it’s thin enough to look like it’s a blacked out Ultra the trackback feature and waypoints are AMAZING!!! Great content 🤙🏽
Don’t cut it off it takes longer than a month stay the course
I'll see what I can do, haha
@@LastLineOfDefense the mustache is already immaculate very doc holiday keep it up
Keep it growing man. Nothing wrong with it. It takes time. But you gonna look sick.
@@LastLineOfDefense keep growing your beard. #beardgang
Solid review!
I have FordPass on my Apple Watch Ultra too which is pretty slick to be able to start my Transit remotely. 5 mins before ending a hike I warm ‘er up toasty and ready to go.
What’s that monitor with the computer? Maybe your video making production setup review?
Thank you compadre! That helps 👍
What desktop monitor is that?
Cool video buddy 👌
Looking at this for off grid adventures as well. Since you're in colder climates, how has battery life been? I usually camp in 20-40 deg weather on average and my iphone struggles if I don't stick it in a back pocket or spoon with it
Crazy you posted this, I just bought one today. I have the Garmin fenix 7x sapphire and man can’t go wrong with either. I’m just in the Apple ecosystem so the switch is easy.
Alright brother I’ve been wearing your associate Holster for going on 3 months now I have to say this is without a doubt the most Comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. Once my bruises healed from my last holster on my appendix area I can’t say enough how comfortable this holster is most of the time I forget I’m wearing it. I just can’t say enough about it thank you again brotha. I’ve told everyone that I know that carries appendix to invest in this holster. This holster will change your life.
Glad you're loving it my man!
Tolerances a bit too tight for Acro-P2 on my G19 though …
Just bought the ultra and I love it 😎🤘🏻
I love my Gransfors Brux. All of them.
Beard is taking form :D love it!
The Ultra is my first AW and wear it 24/7. Work in auto body field and also active life. I constantly get 52+ hrs between each charge.
Also avid Hunter/ Jeep off-roader.
Use OnX Off-road also and look forward to a video on it
I agree w you on youtube university vs. social media. I'm gonna have to think about this a bit, because I really love my mechanical watch, but the ultra is cool alright. I think the beard looks dope, definitely some epic mustache potential there.
LOL You're like me about EDC and gadgets. I really like my Ultra too. I use the flashlight feature all time even when carrying my flashlights etc.
Beard is coming along man! I almost started at the same time as you! I have a horrible patchy beard, but growing it out!
Have you gone shooting with the watch on? Just curious if shooting would make the crash detection go off.
Good video. What case is that you have on the ultra?
By the way, agree with all your points. I’m in the apple ecosystem, but I’ve been wearing mainly a tag heuer connected 45 for the last 4 years. It never played nice with iPhone and the functionality is limited compared to the Apple Watch, but damn it’s sexy. The Ultra changed a lot of things for me as it combines looks, durability, functionality, modularity, and customization. I’ve not worn the Tag since i got the Ultra…
Funny, this video mirrors my ideas. 👍
Dude beard is coming in nice, keep it up 😎
Just got the Ultra 2. I'm not a techie or athlete so we'll see how it goes. I'll be using it like you are.
What about long term effects from wearing the watch?
Interesting perspective, I use an SKX007 Seiko, never have battery issues. All the items on smart watch I have on my phone that is in my pocket. Just never figured it was that much of a hassle to not have that information on my wrist. To each his own. Great video.
Great choice of Seiko 👍
I use a diver on left wrist and Apple Watch 7 on other for tracking fitness etc . Thinking of getting the ultra as will always wear a proper watch on my left. The ultra will be for fitness purposes
Dude! Don't apologize about your beard! Good for you for giving it another go with your buddies from Beard Brand. I've rocked a beard ever since I could grow one. It's not the best, but not the worst either. I was surprised how much better it looked after 3 and then 6 months. Currently 23 months in with just minor trims every 6 months to get rid of split ends and even it out. I've seen some guys of various ethnicities grow beards, and yeah, for some it's easier. I think it you let it grow a few months, you'll be surprised and impressed. If you're really daring, try Minoxidil or Rogaine, meant for hair on the scalp, but a lot of guys had success with it for beards, plenty of vids here on YT and FB groups, etc. I know this has nothing to do with the Apple Watch review that I came for, but I hope this encourages you and any other dudes out there who have been thinking of growing a beard to just do it.
Man I got the 8 recently and it’s really cool but I should have gotten the Ultra but oh well I still will I will just have to wait, great review as always congrats on the house built mine too highs and lows but worth it.
Thank you to convince me, I didn't know how version should I buy.... BTW, I just subscribe, cool content
Best review of the Ultra. You’re the same user as me. Tks!
Just picked up a ultra 2 about 2 weeks ago I wanted the ultra so bad when it first came out and now that I have the 2 I’m very happy the design is what really got me it’s so unique then all the overkill on features and swapping bands just makes it feel/look different if you don’t got one get one
Which band and case were you using in this vid? Thanks
I got one the day they released it
I’m not gonna lie, I ALMOST exited the review when you first mentioned Ultra Marathons 😂
Garmin fenix 7x sapphire here bro. Can’t beat the battery and ruggedness of Garmin in my opinion
Your beard is coming in nice Mike! Hope you keep it going.
That's the plan for a bit anyway!
Keep it up with the beard man its lookin good.
Best video on Apple Watch ultra Iv watched to date! Mine will be here tomorrow so it’ll be interesting to see if this Apple Watch survives me
I enjoy my Apple Watch Ultra too! It has shown to have some life changing attributes.
Holy Mike Glover Batman! Keep the beard growing brotha!
Lol!!! Spot on!!!
Hey man, I did watch the beard video and you have a reasonable foundation on the beard actually. I'd go ahead trim all the darker areas down with a 1 guard (Dec 1st of course). That should give you a more "5 o'clock shadow/even look and everything should pretty much blend together. That'll let the wispy areas catch up, keep it all even as time goes on if you want to grow it out.
I think I'm sold. Never owned an Apple Watch, but this is for me. It's just cool. Thanks! Really excited for your house man. Is it strange a stranger is contemplating a house warming gift, lol.
I had already decided to try and grow the beard out and then that same week you posted the video saying you were too. It’s hard but stick to it, by January hopefully we’ll both have pretty righteous beards 🤙🏾 #StayTheCourse
I really did enjoy this review. I much prefer to hear what an outdoor adventure guy thinks about certain tech. I am neither a hardcore ultramarathon runner, nor am I a guy that wants to sit indoors all the time. People like that are fine, but they won't give me the precise perspective that I am looking for.
Came here from the beard brand vid. It's coming in nice bro! Strong mustache
You got me with the ultra marathons and mountaineering… I was like dude how can you possibly have time for that?! Also, please please please consider keeping and maintaining the mustache. I think it suits you well.
Gotta say, I’ve been looking for Apple Watch reviews just like this. Nothing too technical, but more of the real world uses. Excellent. I wish more tech reviews were like this.
I agree. I recently made a video about my Apple Watch Vs GShock use cases. It’s geared more towards training data than Mike’s vid, I think this one nails a wider range of topics and features and practical daily use.
I've tried many times to wear watches in my life. I get excited by the idea, buy one, wear it for a week, then find that I keep leaving it on my nightstand until I forget about it. Wash, rinse repeat every 5-6 years LOL maybe the Ultra will be different? I dunno, I might look into it. Or a Garmin or Suunto. Can't beat that 30-60 days battery life.
Agreed. Love my Garmin instinct, battery lasts forever. Heck I just bought the new Pixel watch, it's great but still like my Garmin.
More tech reviews please
What band are you rocking on it?
As a left-handed user, wearing the ultra on your right wrist, has its problems. Thanks for redeeming my purchase by sharing how you use it in a more productive sense than just fitness tracking.. I saw your video and clicked it to see how someone who does what I like to do(off-road adventuring) uses his. Was not disappointed, very practical.
I guess the only thing I hate is how easy it is to hit the action button with the back of my hand When carrying things, so I don’t have it assigned. And hate that if you hold the action button, it brings up the emergency screen. If there’s a way to disable that screen, I don’t know about it.
But now I use it to set reminders, which I desperately need lol
Cheers mate!
Can’t lie I’m enjoying the Watch more than my iPad 😂 just addicted to the ❤ rate feature
Nice! Still playing out the string with my Series 6, but will likely go this route next. Still using my Garmin Instinct for back country fat/adventure biking in the mtns, I think the Ultra might do decent there too. Battery, screen size and brightness are three things I def could use.
Dude! I’ve been using Google Keep for over a decade. Grocery list, to-do list, favorite quotes, everything…
I will have a case on mine, run into stuff or hit it at work with desk at work. I like cases
What’s up neighbor, I live just down the hill in Morrison. We like all the same stuff. Haha. Hopefully my watch will get here soon.
Would you say Colorado is the best place on earth ? I love rain and snow. Back track sounds great. The last part made me lol.
I also have one and I love it. I can charge it on Friday morning while I drink my coffee and then go camping for the weekend and then charge it again sunday night after I get home while I eat dinner and it's good to go. I don't need to bring a charger with me on my weekend trips anymore and it's oddly freeing. #weekenderlanderwatch
Mike, fellow Asian dude here. Let it grow man. It'll fill in slowly but surely. Rock your facial hair with pride my dude. Looks good.
Keep the beard going man. I don't have apple I don't like apple but I'm watching for the beard lol.
What watch face is that? Modular Duo?
What color you use
Just ordered one refurbished on Amazon for $500. Cant wait to get my hands on it.
the most thing what holds me back from buying an apple watch ist that my garmin fenix 7x has average batteryruntime of 14 to 28 days before you have to reload. depends on how much you use the watch. and i feel the gamrin is more robust build, reminds me more to a g-shock. I had my whole life only casio and later g-shock watches. best watch for me would be a garmin paired with a g-shock. 22:57 the fenix has a real flashlight LED build in. That is by far the most feature i use on a daily bases. It has even white and red light!
When I saw the thumbnail I was like whoa then I remembered oh yeah he's letting it grow out lol
Same lol
hold on hope to see your new style and look ....
11:07 Cool, I live in Brazil. Northern Brazil to be more precise, close to the Amazon basin. So I bet you can imagine the temperature and humidity levels we get here. 🥵
Beard’s coming in let it go bro keep going with it
Nothing wrong w cool sh**.
I follow you for prep stuff but this was a fun deviation that reminds us to live well, not just not die.
Dude, good review. But I subscribed just based on your take on CZcams and social media. I couldn’t have said it better!
The 'beard' is looking good!
Came here for the beard 💪💪 it looks dope ❤️ I am also gonna start growing mine, thanks for giving me hope bro 🤜🤛
How dare you put a case on such a beautiful watch. I can't even believe they make such a thing.
I was thinking the same 😅😅
Looks awesome 👌, do you have to have a apple phone to use it
Yes
Trust the process bro beards gonna be fine
i like your watch in the night mode ( red on black background)
Google Keep represent. I still use it as well.
I recently made a video about when and why I wear my Apple Watch Vs my GShock. Personally I love the long tail Apple Health Data trends, but I’m still not ready to take a digital and “short” battery life watch out on a legit adventure.
Nice Review… Just Subbed for future content. I was in the fence with the Ultra but think I’m going to go for the Series 8 in Midnight though as I think although rugged tgat the Ultra is too bulky and a bit heavy on the wrist. I think the Series 8 is sleeker and smarter to wear out or with a suit. Loved the review though. It is a cool looking watch but can’t justify the spend and just don’t think it’s for me.
⌚️😎👍🏼
Beards looking good Mike
Dude loving the beard don’t cut it’s going to good
I moved away from my Apple Watch because I was sick of having to charge it every night. I have a Garmin solar instinct tactical and I have to charge it once a month. I use it extensively for GPS and tracking.
I forgot to mention it, but I only charge every 3 or 4 days for like 20 minutes
What Band are you using?
That’s a bad ass beard
Truly not my jam but luv the vid 💥💥🍻
Keep the beard going. 5 more months!
Does it have compass
Where did you get the watch band?
