In todayโ€™s video we take a look at what life has been like after 7 months of using the Apple Watch Ultra. Yes, I am very tempted to buy a Garmin Fenix or somthing like that next, but for now, I still love this watch and think itโ€™s one the best products Apple have launched recently.

I cover, the issues Iโ€™ve had with the Apple watch Ultra like battery issues, but I also share the great apps that Iโ€™ve been using and the best accessories Iโ€™ve foudn after 7 months of using the Apple Watch Ultra.

Fitness ad Health tracking, Sleep Tracking, durability and usability on the Apple Watch Ultra have been the highlights for me. What should improve for the next version of the Apple Watch Ultra?

  1. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did when making it. My experience has been great so far, but far from perfect! I am seriously considering the Garmin options, but mainly because of the battery and Android compatibility. But one thing that is keeping me from doing that now: I LOVE HOW THIS WATCH LOOKS! Tough choice… Have a lovely day ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ don't foget the ๐Ÿ’Ž emoji if you want that gift ๐Ÿ˜‰ Also… here are some of the items I shared in this video:

  2. The ultra for me is good, It works fine for my gym tracking and some hiking now and then. Will keep it for now, looking forward for ultra gen 2. ๐Ÿ’Ž

  3. Great review! Love the video quality and editing, and especially all the honest details. I hope an update will improve the battery life because I love the Ultra!
    Keep up the great work! You have a new subscriber! ๐Ÿ’Ž

  4. Iโ€™m torn in between Ultra and some Garmin all in one beast ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ
    Currently using AW S5 stainless steel version
    Btw is that location a Stonehaven in north of Scotland ? ๐Ÿ‘€

  5. I'm temped by the AW, but I'm heavily attached to my Garmin. I had an AW3 some time ago. The battery stunk and it really needed third party apps to make it complete. Also, I really like some of the advanced features for running. It's almost like having a dedicated coach. Last, I like having real buttons on the Garmin watch. Great for running in cold weather. ๐Ÿ’Ž ๐Ÿ’Ž

  7. Thanks so much for the work you put into these videos.

    I enjoyed watching your progress over the years with the updated editing, videography, cinematography etc.
    I think your channel will only grow if you keep this trend. Keep it up

    BTW Just placing this ๐Ÿ’Žas I bought a resealed Ultra at a discount that came with a knock off band unfortunately… so I'm just a bit iffy about it and would love a proper band for it…

    Cheers Alex keep it up

  8. Titanium band looks cool! ๐Ÿ’Ž By the way I use the trail loop band for running. Hereโ€™s a tip if you put the band where the color is on the right side so you tighten the band upward, itโ€™s easier to adjust while running if you need to, which Iโ€™ve done a few times. I also use the action button for the flashlight which comes in handy daily. Never had it come on accidentally.

    I absolutely LOVE my Ultra. I had been putting off getting an Apple Watch since the series 6 because I mainly wanted it for health reasons and didnโ€™t feel that the features in past series was worth price until the Ultra. The fact that it also has a flat screen is an added bonus to this clumsy gal! ๐Ÿ˜…

  10. ๐Ÿ’ŽThe Apple Watch Ultra is my first legitimate watch and it feels absolutely unbelievable on my wrist. Rockin the grey trail strap. Got my eye on that band ๐Ÿ‘€

  11. I understand your point of view but in the end it is a matter of what you want. I had a s7 apple watch, now I have the ultra. I absolutely love it, got no complaints and I am a pretty active guy. Charging for 30-40 mins every 2 days, fine by me!! ๐Ÿ’Ž

  12. Nice review ๐Ÿ’Ž. Like you, I'm not the stated target audience, but Iโ€™m pretty sure Iโ€™m exactly their intended audience. The metal band looks sharp on the Ultra.

  13. Great review, thanks! Hoping for a smaller version honestly. I have a 41mm titanium series 7, really would only be upgrading to get the better battery. ๐Ÿ’Ž

  14. ๐Ÿ’Ž Great review. I upgraded from a Series 3 Nike which after years of moderate use finally died due to the black screen of death.

    Like yourself, I too am a standard user, 3-4 workouts a week, very little celluar and sleep track use so my battery life always gives me 3-4 days of basic use.

    Reason for buying? โ€ฆ I love the aesthetics and build quality of this watch. I tried it on before committing as I too was a little concerned about the size and weight. It wasnt an issue so I got it. Iโ€™ll most likely keep this watch for good few years like I did with my series 3. Hoping I dont get issues with the battery from basic use or software updates.
