i want to know the story behind why nick bought the first apple watch despite normally not wanting to spend that kind of money. great host, would be happy to see him again.
6:29 you have to tilt the way AWAY(I.e forwards) for full brightness for the flashlight. Apple made it like that so you don’t immediately flash bang yourself when you use the flashlight
I mean most $dollar shop LEDs torches are brighter than the screen anyhow so if you need a torch just have one of those... heck most fit in a pocket or on a key chain. Or you could put it on the strap... why reinvent the wheel.
@@JamesR624 I don't know how speech recognition works, but 1 has been used by the same person for 1 year. Is it possible that Watch 1 has improved recognition for said user?
Very cool to see Nick do a video again, been a long long time. He doesn't have that 'ADHD' energy that some others do, but he did great and I think he would do great in some Mac Address videos.
@@hotheadtxt he used to be in videos a lot more. Didn't say he was hosting those vids, but he was definitely in videos, and more than just a cameo. I'm talking about being in a large portion of the video, if not the majority.
LTT needs to acknowledge the existence of sport smartwatches like Garmins and Suuntos. Imo, they are better in many aspects than Apple's and Samsung's offerings.
They are also way worse many aspects too. They simply aren’t for the same audience. If you want proper app interoperability, podcasts, music, controlling your home, setting reminders etc. then a Garmin is godawful. If it’s a rugged sport watch first with battery life as paramount then sure get a Garmin. But don’t expect any of the niceties that Apple and Samsung offer.
@@ViktorFury You should look up what the watches can do. My Garmin Fenix 7X can playback music, podcasts, control Smarthome, do reminders, etc. It is a smartwatch but with 28 days of battery life (even longer with power saving). If you want an idea of the features, check out a dcrainmaker review. I even use my watch to generate OTP codes for 2FA.
@@ViktorFury Also, Garmin Pay works everywhere Apple and Samsung Pay work (it piggybacks off the same tech) so I can use the watch for payments pretty much everywhere. I also love the built in LED flashlight, which is incredibly useful in night since it is quicker than reaching for a smartphone. You just need to double press a button. Of course, there is a touchscreen on top of the 5 buttons. It is really impressive hardware and the software has improved leaps and bounds.
@@ViktorFury And when it comes to actual fitness and sports, the difference is still night and day. The main con is that you can't play games or watch movies on Garmin watches. However, for many including myself, that is very low priority for a smartwatch. Most people would prioritize music, payments, health tracking, and notifications. And where the Garmin excels is doing all of those things, but with literally 28 times the battery life.
@@ViktorFury Linus and Luke often talk about how much they miss the pebble. Honestly, they really need to try a Garmin Instinct 2 or Fenix. They would fall in love.
“Most premium unboxing experience” Proceeds to not even unbox it at all. It comes in an outer box that packages the watch and the band, with beautiful artwork on the inside of the outer “box” which is more like an origami type container that lays open flat.
If the finger pinch gestures get more sophisticated in future, I can see Apple marketing the Apple Watch as being able to improve the accuracy of Vision Pro hand tracking for that hand
It's been awhile since Nick has had anything more than a cameo in an LMG video. I think he had more hair last time though... Lol. Nice to see him again
Apple Watch flashlight is reduced when faced up. To get the full brightness you need to point it away. It is to prevent bright light damage your eyes. 6:22
I have an Apple Watch Series 6 and been thinking about an ultra but most of the time I just use my watch as a display or for my workouts and I actually use the flashlight all the time lol but I don't think I would get the most out of an Ultra 2 so I appreciate the honesty with this review, I'll just wait then :) I wish the watches were cheaper though even with discounts and trade ins I still ended up paying nearly 300 dollars for it which is way too much for a watch
@@Petar120 🤨 What are you talking about? I didn't buy an Apple Watch Ultra 2. I'm keeping the series 6 I bought years ago discounted, I didn't waste any money, I got a trade in and a discount and a better deal for a product I wanted to use and do use daily.
Glad to see my second gen SE is still the watch for me at a cool $250-ish. Series 9, and ultra have some neat features but I just don’t need or want all of that for double, or quadruple the price.
if I lose my car in the parking lot, I use my trusty separation anxiety ridden Dog to find where I parked. Call his name, and he'll howl SUPER LOUDLY. Though now my car 's pretty unique and hard to miss since it's a unique color and a giant TUNDRA with the nice extended bed and crewmax cab. I went with their brown. Super classy looking. Great car, came with a gun safe, who doesn't need one of those. Got my Walther glock wannabe. Since it's one of my few CHEAP guns.
My 6 battery is giving up the go so I need to get a new one... not sure if I want the Ultra or not... Great review! You pointed out features I wasn't paying attention to at the event!
@@capybara5494 After posting I decided to bit the bullet and got one, was able to trade in my old Series 6 as well making the price a little better. So far I love it!
@@metallurgico I don’t get it ? Replacing the watch entirely is a choice. Ifixit provide kits if you want to DIY, third parties and Apple are offering service to replace the battery.
Have you done any dark environments testing? The screen get dimmed too low to see the texting and gps. I have return the watch after w days of use and waiting on Apple to fix this issues.
That’s not a real test of on device Siri, you need to turn your internet connection on the phone off as well. So that demonstration was still connecting to the internet so it could pull up the map. On device stuff is like setting a timer, not something that requires internet
It's been a long damn time since I saw Nick in a LMG video, the last time I remember was in a CSF video. I mean, CSF + Nick Light = damn I'm getting old
For almost this entire video - I thought the speaker or record player (or whatever the circle is in the background) was a cutout of the Apple Watch side button 🤣 I didn’t think much further about it- pretty much just watching /listening to the host, but that’s what my brain thought.
Never had an ultra, but I just upgraded from the Apple Watch 3 to the 9 and man the jump from the 3 to 9 is just amazing. I can genuinely use the watch for smart watch purposes rather than a notification screen I can access at work without getting in trouble like the 3. This is the watch generation I think that’s the real begging to the smart wearables
I ordered both (owning the version 3 myself). It was just such a dissapointment, to me it just looked exactly the same watch only a bigger screen (less border). I chose to keep the Ultra looks so much nicer, and not so boring design. Maybe I will be back one day, the moment they redesign the thing... how many years do they have the same boring design of the normal version (come on apple, you can do better)
So...stupid n00b question here probably, if i manage to get a hold of an apple watch but don't like apple phones, can i use it with android phone, like i do with the airpods ?? what functionality will i be loosing ?
Honestly I want the ultra for the durability, i'm not going scuba diving anytime soon, but of I dip in the ocean I’ll be calm knowing the salt won’t damage it
That belkin 3-in-1 charger isn't really good for the iPhone's. I had 3 of them and had to send it back b/c we had to remove the case and then charge our iPhone's which isn't something that we want to do all the time when charging them. Any people on Amazon said the same thing about that charger from belkin.
Apple isn't even acknowledging this issue. Have you spoken to Apple support about it? If so, I bet they told you that it wasn't a known issue (they've been lying to customers about this issue). There is no way Apple Support doesn't know about it. Hopefully the return window hasn't expired on you because it doesn't look good for getting this issue resolved.
The fact that Apple got OLED Material and not LED to shine at 3000 nits is simply astonishing that is considering most OLED televisions top out at 1200 NITS max
I work in construction and have the Watch Ultra 1, for a smart watch it has proven to be fairly rugged... but it's probably more smart watch than I actually need and was a waste of money in the long run
Here’s an idea: a voice for Siri that makes it sound like Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi. That would be amazing 😄 Naturally it would be accessed by saying “hello there”.
Just buy the damn thing. I love it. The Ultra is good and tough. No scratches on the crystal after a year of abuse. You can pick up an Ultra One for like 500+ bucks.
“I’ve had the Series 4 for 6 or 7 years before I moved up to this one” this guy is spitting things out of his ass. When the first ultra came out, it was only out for 4 years. As of now, the Series 4 has only been out for 5 years😂
This is where he slides the Ultra 1 back into the box and keeps the 2 and then no one check it for years lol
😂
This is the way
Not that anyone would notice the difference. They look the same.

And BOY is it bright. It’s a literal flashlight on your wrist.
You can also tap the screen to get full brightness
When using it at night, the normal Apple Watch works great as a flashlight. I bet this one is bright 🌟
That was not very “bright” of him
I mean most $dollar shop LEDs torches are brighter than the screen anyhow so if you need a torch just have one of those... heck most fit in a pocket or on a key chain. Or you could put it on the strap... why reinvent the wheel.

Nick is actually a cool guy. More videos with him!
FYI flashlight is WAY brighter when you aim the screen towards the ground. It dims when facing up, I assume to protect eyes.
Just wanted to throw some HYPE Nick's way, did an amazing job! A previous user of the product is there perfect person to review the new one.

I love how the price of the watch just keeps going up . First $1000 then $1500
Apple Watch 1 was personally the ultimate premium unboxing experience. Super dense plastic box combined with thick paper exterior box.
You didn't show the new double pinch feature, for this you need WatchOS 10.1 ...
You showed us assistive touch which also works on the old one ...
