I’m a lefty and I use to wear my watch on my left wrist but now I’ve come accustomed to wearing it on the right. I don’t think it makes much of a difference though. I just got mine yesterday and it is a beautiful watch. I went back to the Apple Watch after using a Garmin Epix Pro for a year. Awesome review.
Bought the series 10 jet black, coming from a black space grey series 6 and it felt great, definitely felt the upgrade but it didn’t feel enough. Returned the series 10 and got the ultra 2, no complaints
I had the Ultra and yesterday got that Ultra 2 in black. Sold my Ultra. Didn’t think would love Ultra 2 black so much but it looks AMAZING!!! Was with it
Im going to be a first time apple watch user and it seems like im going to go with the watch 10 series. I do want to say that you did an amazing job reviewing this ultra watch 2 and it was very well informed and showed great aspects of the watch, thank you very much!
Aw thank you very much, I really appreciate that :) It was a bit of a rush trying to get the video out so quickly after launch, so I'm pleased you felt like i covered everything!
Is it worth it to upgrade from a series 8 to a 10 in slate titanium? Or worth it to upgrade to ultra 2 black? Having a hard time with this decision as I like both.
I have this Ultra 2 and I prefer this colour. I have also ordered the titanium strap which will arrive next month. This Watch looks better than the original. One function I do like is how the Watch automatically changes to night mode which is brilliant.
It was time for me to trade in my series 6 for an Ultra. I went to the Apple Store with the black version as my first choice. That quickly changed after seeing it in person and on my wrist. I just found it to be extremely bland compared to the natural version. It kept reminding me of my Garmin watch. I purchased the natural version and I love it! 😉
Best review I’ve seen on the new black Ultra 2. I’m considering the Hermes Ultra 2 to match my iPhone 15 pro in blue titanium. If I went for the black U2 I’d have to buy the iPhone 16/16pro in black, costing more 💰 look forward to trying out in store.
just got mine SE 2gen on jan 2024 ..loving the slim design etc everything but the crappy battery life. hind sight I shld just got the series 9 back then, should I get get ultra 2? or just ultra as the price has dip.
Hej! Tip: use the black 46mm solo loop band then there are no issues when preforming office duties. I use the black trail loop band except when I run, bike, or need to work in an office setting i use the black solo loop band. Super comfortable. I wear the Black Ultra on the left and the Garmin Tactix 7 Pro on the right but if I wear only one device it would only be on the right wrist.
The question I ask myself is how robust is this black coating? Because that is what it is. I saw a test where the watch was dropped on a stone floor. It survived that well, but you could see slight marks on one corner and the original titanium was re-appearing at the impact points. So I think the watch is more sensitive in this respect, but it looks nice.
great review... I don't think they are going to change the design in the coming years.. Just as the apple watch standard has stayed pretty much the same for 10 years... Which honestly is kind of great... I just picked up an ultra watch 2 titanium... So I could benefit from old stock with blood oxygen sensor... Would like to get the black one but.. this'll do for now.
Yeah I think the design is great too and can't really see them making any changes. I think it would be nice if they made to sizes for the Ultra as I know a lot of people who think it's just a bit too big for their wrists. But one thing I'd love to see in the next model is a glucose monitor
I have the apple watchultra 2 I love the black color but not enough to upgrade. You are the first person I have seen wearing the watch on the right hand side
yeah I can see why there isn't a need to upgrade just for the new colour! But at least it now gives people the option who are looking at getting one :)
So i love the black but i have the Ultra 1st edition and there is nothing wrong with it. So i am just going to keep what i have. I am a right wrist watch wearer.
Between the Natural vs this black , would you say confidently that black is far better than natural color ? I am torn between between buying this one vs first gen. ultra which is selling now for cheap
Silver pops more. I have silver ultra 2, bought a black bumper case to turn it black, and black is just basic looking. When I see people with the silver, I notice they have an Apple Watch
You tend to wear a watch on the opposite dominate hand. Also most artsy people tend to be left handers. Take a look at at movies most actors/actresses tend to be left handed. Always exceptions to the rule though. The theory behind this is its easier to look at a watch while your doing something with your dominate hand.
I also miss the orange band option! Hopefully they will release them for the black watch in the future. Had the orange Alpine loop on my Series 1- I don’t think there was ever an orange trail loop released- that would be great.
@@Totserful Apple Watch Series 10 vs Ultra 2: Display The Series 10's display is more power-efficient, and as such can refresh once every second, rather than once a minute, at its lowest setting. This means you'll see the second hand moving on some Watch faces even without raising your Watch to wake it up. This alone makes it better. Don't forget that 10 have fast charging better viewing angle and it is easy to wear at night in bed for sleeping.
I was advised that if you’re right-handed, you should wear your watch on your left wrist and the opposite wrist for your left hand. I’m not sure why. I had the original 1st-generation Ultra Titanium watch and traded it for the Black model with the Ocean black band. I also purchased the New Dark Green Trail Loop watch band, which looks great too.
I have the original light grey titanium Apple Watch Ultra, but now I can’t stand it! I love the watch itself, but its color! How could I face my friends and work colleagues with something so…so outdated? I’m verklempt!
i just returned my..Apple very expensive watch dont work on tattoo sleeves...choking ..year 2024 and they still dont know how to make it work..i stick to garmin :)
Diamond like coating (DLC) is prone to scratching and revealing the base metal underneath. If in doubt check out high end watches that have had this process done after several months of daily wearing. It’s not a process which is unique to Apple.
I have always think right wrist wearers are just showers 😊. I say it from own experience. Once I had an expensive watch and decided right wrist so people see it when I greet-shake their hands. I was young and stupid. Also as a right-handed person my right wrist is bigger than the left, so bigger watches, like the Ultra, seem to fit better there
Ordered the black ultra and waiting for its arrival. This is my very first Apple watch as well. Excited!!
This looks great , I’m still struggling with this or the series 10 jet black .
Yeah the new 10 is great too
Had the same struggle, ordered an s10, 40% in 15 min. Its amazing

Nice, hopefully you are enjoying it and it was worth the upgrade?!

I’ll wait till next year for it to be in black, Hermes edition.

I really want to get one but am waiting for reviews in a few months time to see if the black case gets scratched.
yeah it will be good to see how well it stands up to daily use!
@@BarbsterFilmshow is it after these few days ?
I have this Ultra 2 and I prefer this colour. I have also ordered the titanium strap which will arrive next month. This Watch looks better than the original. One function I do like is how the Watch automatically changes to night mode which is brilliant.
You supposed to wear a healt device on your non-dominant hand. So if you are right-handed, you need to wear it on your left hand.
I have first ultra and I have money but is it stupid just to update because of color? There is no much difference between 1 and 2
Correct me if im wrong but isnt that the navy blue ocean band and not the black?
nope it's the black band!
It looks great. What is your wrist size?
Sold my Ultra 2 silver for the black one. I love the Black Ultra Apple Watch. Screen Colors pops out. Feels like a totally new watch.
Yeah that's great to here. I love it too! The subtle orange accent colours are great :)
Any regrets at all? I’m highly considering doing that
@@RonBluu No regrets😀
Best looking Watch ever. 🙌🏻
You have to wear it with the new Titan Milanese bracelet.! It looks damn good. I love my black Ultra with this bracelet.
yeah that strap is great looking, if it didn't cost an extra 100 then I would have gone for it!!
@@BarbsterFilms It's worth the money. Great quality and finish. ✌🏻
Right rest Apple Watch ⌚️ wearer 🙌🏻

Great video. Got my black ultra 2 on launch day. Having seen the black ocean loop you have, I regret choosing the alpine trail strap!
I was so unsure of what strap to get when I preordered it online. I almost did the same as you but changed it to the ocean strap at the last moment!
I thought the alpine loop was considered the comfiest
Have it and love it looks wicked. Only issue I am having is the metal bracelet band is really difficult to take on and off
Clasp is awkward to remove
i wear mine on the right too but with the crown facing left so that my hand doesn't cover the screen while scrolling 😂
haha I only realised you could do that this morning and changed it around, it's so much easier that way!!

I were mine on the right and I have just got the ultra 2 as well .
Nice!! Twins!!
Got the watch for the same reason as yourself; right wrist underneath, only issue double tap do not work.
your double tap doesn't work? That's strange, my double tap works just fine. Perhaps you have an issue with it?
I am a wright wrist wearer too or should that be "right" wrist
We put our watch on the same wrist 🎉😊 great video
So i love the black but i have the Ultra 1st edition and there is nothing wrong with it. So i am just going to keep what i have. I am a right wrist watch wearer.

I am torn between between buying this one vs first gen. ultra which is selling now for cheap
it all comes down to colour preference, personally I just think the black is great looking
Silver pops more. I have silver ultra 2, bought a black bumper case to turn it black, and black is just basic looking. When I see people with the silver, I notice they have an Apple Watch
@@videoqueenstl7056Thanks for the recommendation, appreciate it.
I'm sticking with the Nature Titanium 1st Generation.
yeah seems like a if you're not into the black colour then there isn't much point upgrading :)

Can third party watch apps be accessible via the Action Button menu?
that's a good question!! I will have to have a look and find out
@@BarbsterFilmsthanks a lot!
Previous lefty now a firm right hand wearer. Love it way more with action button and other controls :)
welcome to the right side!!
I also miss the orange band option! Hopefully they will release them for the black watch in the future. Had the orange Alpine loop on my Series 1- I don’t think there was ever an orange trail loop released- that would be great.
yeah those orange bands popped the colour so well!!
Bought one and cheap in price . Canadian 2000,00 dollars , great deal
Oh yessir, you're the odd one out. We wear it on left hand.
OMG Scumpy you do unboxing videos now?
I returned my black ultra 2 and got Titanium 10. Much lighter easy to wear and looks much better. No to mention better screen and fast charging
Better screen? Only 2000 nits and crappy battery life

Wow, I have only just seen your new channel after being subscribed to Barbster360 for years including Glasto festival prep 😆. Liked and subscribed 😎🤘
haha welcome aboard!
Nice detailed review ❤
Whenever you hear someone say they’ll avoid buying something tech cause of price well…buddies buying the Milanese strap in about a week.
haha I can easily say that I'll give that strap a miss!!
The only apple product that I think is gaudy. Looks like a Walmart special but that’s just my opinion.
Meh…. Sticking with my AWU original version… still works just fine !
Amazing review Bro
thanks so much :)
Great video.
Thank youuuu :)

I can see why it's better on the opposite wrist, but I just find it feels weird on the left!! I need to get a few extra straps too!
Left wrist user here.
I wear alternately on both left and right so that it will not leave wear marks
haha the best of both worlds!! I've tried it on my left and I can't get used to it!!
I have the original light grey titanium Apple Watch Ultra, but now I can’t stand it! I love the watch itself, but its color! How could I face my friends and work colleagues with something so…so outdated? I’m verklempt!
get the spray paint out on your original colour watch!!
Oh, I’m definitely tempted to get one. Are you tempted to finance it for me? 😀
Black Ultra is not my Favorit . My Ultra 2 is Natural Titanium with Sticker so I Have no orange Button / Krone
정보 고마워 👍
i just returned my..Apple very expensive watch dont work on tattoo sleeves...choking ..year 2024 and they still dont know how to make it work..i stick to garmin :)
I hope it this not scratch easily...
yeah hopefully it doesn't! Only time will tell!
😂
Heard the black scratches easily.
48 hours later... and currently no scratches... yet!!
Yes it does. I just returned mine yesterday and got the natural titanium again smh
@@RohitAnanthandid it happen to you?
All coatings wear off eventually.
i'm right handed but i wear my watch on my right wrist.. weirdo.. 😂

@@willdoug6604left is weird
I have tattoo on my left hand, so there is no choice for me 😅
Be careful not to scratch it. That isn't a true black. It just a coating over the National titanium color. Apple pulled a FOMO to sell more watches.
Of course its only a coating - nobody said something different. 😂😂😂
What’s national titanium?!
Scrash test
I'll leave that to Jerry!
Left wrist watch wearer is here.
I keep trying it on my left... can't get used to it!!
No HRV tracking. Pathetic. Get yourself a proper sports watch like Fenix 8.
LOL at no point did I say I wanted a 'proper' sports watch!
couldn't watch any further.....my god dude
