My Ultra 2 from launch just reached 99% after using it everyday over the past year. I wear it to sleep and only charge during some downtime like showers or in the mornings
hm maybe he daily drives sumn else, or a lot of time is spent switching between watches. i've never seen a tech reviewer use the same product long enough to actually gauge battery degradation properly
@zollotech there is another new feature I just noticed. The option that pings your phone from your watch has been enhanced. Now it only plays a sound once on your phone and then goes into a mode similar to when you are finding an AirTag. It will lead you directly to the phone.
They are not! His videos are good but they compliment what Apple releases. There wouldn’t be this types of video without Apple releasing software updates. Instead of trying to compare everything-that doesn’t need comparing-just appreciate them as they are.
@@wisdomyaw03wtf you on about? He said the patch NOTES, not the patch, he’s talking about the post they give with the update details… and these videos are way better
the apple watch camera preview is the buggiest piece of software ive ever used. idk how its taking them so long to make it have a stable connection, but yeah its basically unusable on the fly.
Don’t think I’ve seen many mention this. I have a series 9 and since the update my fitness results have been much lower and even when I put in extra effort I still don’t get the results I used to get. Not just that it’s been straight buggy and the heart monitor is all over the place when exercising.
Hi Aaron I Have A Question I Just Got The Apple Watch SE 2nd Generation For Christmas could you please tell me how long Will My Apple Watch Receive Software Update from Apple I’m Hoping it will be updated for a Few Years if possible please let me know thank you Arron I Really Enjoy Your videos ☺️
Hi Aaron. I just got my Apple watch Ultra 2. I get unusual vibrations but when I check the watch or the phone, I don't see any notifications? Why is that so? Also when I double press the crown button, I can't scroll through the recent apps instead it opens the last recent used apps. Please help if there's anything wrong with the watch or is there any settings that I'm missing. I'm coming from watch os 9.
My battery on my Apple Watch SE seems to dwindle a little faster now. I had it on the charger a while after it reached 100% and as soon as I took it off, not even on wrist and it had already dropped to 99%
Hopefully it will fix my watch from ticking (haptic clicks) on its charger at night, stupid thing wakes me up all the time, yes ive reset it, tried different charger and even tried it without the strap on, get videos thanks.
Personally never found random Apple awards added much value - I never review them nor do they drive behavior. I would prefer more insights relative to activity performance over time and a daily ready score that is popularized by other devices and paid apps. Also would be good to see stats for runners like top ten 5k runs or top ten mile average over entire history that has been recorded.
Is the a way to view my fitness and health analysis on my iPhone? , because on my watch I have no problem with viewing it but on the iPhone there isn’t any analysis of my workouts and health
They didn’t fix the WiFi bug and also the torch bug? They don’t seem to work sometimes unless you restart your device. If WiFi disconnects, it never connects unless you restart the device.
Same, watch os11 has killed my Apple Watch Ultra 1s battery before upgrading from watchOS 10 was at 99% battery health now I’m at 94% and definitely doesn’t last as long as it used to when I got it with watchOS10
So Aarron, they've got rid of the ability to simply swipe left or right to change faces, is that right??? Why would they do that after only bringing it back a short time ago???
I updated and now my sleep tracker doesn’t analyze sleep stages and just tells me I “slept” even though the sleep tracking is on and I turn on my “sleep” focus mode before bed time. How can I remove this latest update?
11.2 ha made login into my watch 7 a nightmare… tapping the numbers to input the code fails 90% of the times, it freezes… it takes a minute to do what I did in a second with previous versions 😡
My AWU2 is only lasting a maximum of 8 to 12 hours after this update. I've tried unpairing, resetting, pairing again, restoring, pairing as new, everything, and nothing is working. Please help!
Another trusted update, Arron... thanks. Still doesn't look like Apple have fixed their Mail App fetch and notifications etc. Nothing comes through to my Ultra 2 so as of today I have moved the the Mail App to a folder and now use Outlook. Bit of a sad thing really but at least I can get notifications through to my Ultra 2 and badges on my phone with the correct and timely number of new / unread emails.
They nerfed minimum brightness. It would set your watch to full brightness would would look awesome in the red night mode. Now it’s 50% brightness when enabled. I thought you’d have noticed that.
I have a Apple Watch series 9 just hit 99% battery 🔋 health after a year of use. Still works great with no problems. Update to Watch OS 11.2 so far so good and it’s been a week.
I think I may be on my last Apple Watch, for a while at least. The battery has not lasted, yet again. It doesn’t even last the whole day. Before you ask, yes I do keep minimal apps open all the time, and I am very consistent with the few I do use. I’m not spending that much on something that lasts 2 years.
No one single "update" in the watch, nor the iPhone are worth of a minor version change. At most the patch version only... So, once again, no real updates 🤦♂BTW, I'm in EU 🤬Thank you for your GOOD review though 😇
Are you aware of the bug with the timer app, where you set a timer and it’s nigh on impossible to find out how long is left without going into the timer app through the list view or honeycomb menu again? Even then, the timer doesn’t count down when you view it. You have to hit pause and then it updates to how long is left. No easy access by swiping down or double tapping the Digital Crown. Has been like this for ages.
Do you think Apple will add the AOD seconds hand update to more watch faces for series 10? Seems strange for that to be a flagship feature and have such a limited rollout.
concerning the Snoopy watch face, i noticed this last night as it was the full moon, looked at my watch face and Snoopy was wailing and there was a full moon on the back. quite interesting.
@@mikey7326lol they don’t have the same settings. Huawei watches are using a less complex chipset since they do less (no third party apps). That’s like comparing the battery of a smart phone to a flip phone from the early 2000s. Crazy people don’t know these simple things then base their opinions on ignorance.
Battery life on my series 1 ultra seems to have been diminished but hey it's ok 😉 they KNOW people will just go out and spend money on another one. It's people like you that keep the prices going this ridiculously high and the service this ridiculously shitty
I want to see more awards. For example, they have perfect month for move, but not perfect month for exercise, stand or all activity. Mostly it's focused on move. Same with streak. That's also focused on move only
I always use Siri when cooking rice pasta or whenever I need a timer. Timer activates but whenever I glance at the watch it only shows the timer interface with all the timer options. Not the actual time left. So annoying when you have greasy fingers. You have to click X for it to go away to see the set timer. Anyone else have this problem?
Other than bug fixes literally the only updates I care about is new watch faces
Interesting that your "old" Ultra 2 still has 100%. I´m down to 97% now wearing it every day and night. Just put it down to charge.
My Ultra 2 from launch just reached 99% after using it everyday over the past year. I wear it to sleep and only charge during some downtime like showers or in the mornings
My ultra 1 is 89%😂
hm maybe he daily drives sumn else, or a lot of time is spent switching between watches. i've never seen a tech reviewer use the same product long enough to actually gauge battery degradation properly
My Apple Watch Ultra 1 Battery Health Is Still At 100%. Had It Since Release & Wear It Everyday.
Don’t charge it to 100%
My Apple Watch 7 is on 71% battery health when should I look at battery replacement or should I just upgrade the watch. Leaning towards replacement.
My ultra 2 used to give me 5 day every use at the gym after upgrading it only last 4 days
Mine is lasting barely half a day!
@zollotech there is another new feature I just noticed. The option that pings your phone from your watch has been enhanced. Now it only plays a sound once on your phone and then goes into a mode similar to when you are finding an AirTag. It will lead you directly to the phone.
Is everyone else’s battery running out faster than before after this update?
Mine is!
i’m getting 60 hours of regular use from my watch without using LPM.
Mine too! Before, my watch was easily running 40hours on a single charge.
My battery finish every 5 hour after this update 😢
YES
Thank you so much for these videos. They are so much better than Apples patch notes.
They are not! His videos are good but they compliment what Apple releases. There wouldn’t be this types of video without Apple releasing software updates. Instead of trying to compare everything-that doesn’t need comparing-just appreciate them as they are.
@ uhhhh no. I like the style of him explaining the features of the update, rather than me reading a page on Apples website.
@@wisdomyaw03wtf you on about? He said the patch NOTES, not the patch, he’s talking about the post they give with the update details… and these videos are way better
the apple watch camera preview is the buggiest piece of software ive ever used. idk how its taking them so long to make it have a stable connection, but yeah its basically unusable on the fly.
When can I buy my first Apple Watch? I've been waiting for a camera to be released on it year after year.
What’s the cadran you use in this video ? Look good Please could you share with us ?
Really nice video. Appreciate your work Aaron 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Aaron…appreciate all your videos!
I see your watch also doesn't get the live view feed from the camera and just gets a black image...
When is Apple gonna fix this????
This happens to me as well occasionally. This has happened on every Apple Watch I’ve owned. I don’t know why they don’t fix it.
Something that used to be so seamless in my Apple Watch series 3
Don’t think I’ve seen many mention this. I have a series 9 and since the update my fitness results have been much lower and even when I put in extra effort I still don’t get the results I used to get. Not just that it’s been straight buggy and the heart monitor is all over the place when exercising.
What theme or Apple Watch app are you using for this display?
Sadly theres no update to the camera control for my series 9 after downloading 11.2. No pause option for video 😢
Hi Aaron I Have A Question I Just Got The Apple Watch SE 2nd Generation For Christmas could you please tell me how long Will My Apple Watch Receive Software Update from Apple I’m Hoping it will be updated for a Few Years if possible please let me know thank you Arron I Really Enjoy Your videos ☺️

That’s probably coming from activity app. Mine does this too.
Can you send me the link of this apple belt ?
Camera app on apple watch STILL not showing a live preview is insanely frustrating lol
Mine does, pretty seamlessly.
My battery on my Apple Watch SE seems to dwindle a little faster now. I had it on the charger a while after it reached 100% and as soon as I took it off, not even on wrist and it had already dropped to 99%

Hi there I’ve got I watch 5 why I’m I not getting updates
The date on the screen is not updated. Today it's show sun 15, but it is Tue 17...
Over 50% battery drop in less than 6 hours. What happened to the Ultra with this update?
This is happening to me too! It barely lasts 6 hours. Did you find a solution?
Personally never found random Apple awards added much value - I never review them nor do they drive behavior. I would prefer more insights relative to activity performance over time and a daily ready score that is popularized by other devices and paid apps. Also would be good to see stats for runners like top ten 5k runs or top ten mile average over entire history that has been recorded.
How did you get all the complications on that watch face? I have the series 10 in 46mm and only am able to get top left middle and bottom.???
can someone explain why the remote camera is always black now?
That jet black ultra looks so cool. I got the jet black series 10 just wish I could get an ultra band for it for cheap
There is no Jet Black for Ultra 2. Only matte black. Jet black is exclusive to the series 10. I prefer the series 10.
Hi, which band is this? Can you point me
In the right direction?
Thanks for the update!
Does anyone else have their Apple Watch 10 not charging as fast before the update? Are there also issues now with third-party charging stations?
hi! What is that back (dial) of the clock?
Where did you get your watch face?
Thankyou for this video and the tip about the minimum brightness it was a bit annoying that the brightness of my watch se (2nd) was low sometimes
It saves battery by dimming the light. 🤷🏻♂️
Which watch face is in the thumbnail?
Yah, which watch face your using?
Is the a way to view my fitness and health analysis on my iPhone? , because on my watch I have no problem with viewing it but on the iPhone there isn’t any analysis of my workouts and health
Great video Aaron 😢even tho I don’t have an Apple Watch I just love your videos always ❤😊
video pause not available in series 7
I’ve had an se for about 3 months, and I don’t have a keyboard like you do ?! Is this because I have the more simple watch version orrrrr?
please do iPad OS as well
They didn’t fix the WiFi bug and also the torch bug?
They don’t seem to work sometimes unless you restart your device. If WiFi disconnects, it never connects unless you restart the device.
I’m getting poor battery life on my first-gen AWU but it’s only been overnight

Great review Aaron!! We need more challenges for the fitness app. Maybe weekly challenges!!!!! 💪🏻🤩

HELP: does your Ultra (1) still have pulse oximetry function despite all the current software upgrades???? Or did it vanish? thanks
The back arrow on the left does not work
What is the name of watchface you are using?
Could you test headset used i Apple watch 11.2. I am not able to get this to work
Cant even update last update always on downloading to watch seems like forever
awesome update 🔥
Big fan 🎉❤
Thank you Aaron much appreciated 😊

I appreciate your in-depth videos. Thank you.
So basically, everything is the same and you are making an extended video for a UA-cam check what has happened to us?!?
Hey Arnold can you do a different vid for Christmas 🎅
My battery dropped to 98% and has not changed back and its only a few months old.
Thank you.
It’s early days but 🤞🏻… battery life seem better

Hmmm. My Ultra2 shows the dot indicator centre top. I tap that and the countdown is displayed, live. Also double tap crown shows the timer too.
which strap is it at the begining from the hand ?
Is there a Tides app for the phone or is this a watch only opp? I thought all watch apps had to exist on the phone as well.
watch only
Do you think Apple will add the AOD seconds hand update to more watch faces for series 10? Seems strange for that to be a flagship feature and have such a limited rollout.
would hope so
My watch battery drain so bad after this update tho
Did you find a solution? My AWU2 drains within 6 hours from 100 to 0
@ after 24hrs my watch return back to normal. My guess is that it calibrate itself somehow
concerning the Snoopy watch face, i noticed this last night as it was the full moon, looked at my watch face and Snoopy was wailing and there was a full moon on the back. quite interesting.
Muito obrigada 🌷🇧🇷
Aaron make review video on new MacBook Pro and Mac mini
I have videos on both
Apple really need to double the battery life for their watches soon.
I don’t think that’s possible. It’s more of a physics issue.
@@zollotech Oh come on... Huawei watches can last for a whole week with the same feature set.

Arron iOS beta 18.2 update for the iPhone 16 P😅ro Max is out today
My Apple Watch SE currently is at 94%
Nice video
Im kinda sad i have the apple watch 5 too bad it doesn’t even have the cool watch face i want:(
the preview been buggy since ios 16
I want to see more awards. For example, they have perfect month for move, but not perfect month for exercise, stand or all activity. Mostly it's focused on move. Same with streak. That's also focused on move only
Took 2 hrs to update
Apple Watch preview issue is not new, I had that issue with 18.1 1:52
Watch os is cool n all but uhh, when u think ios 18.3 beta gonna drop? 😆
Does any one have issues using Siri with raise to wake?
I think they delete features I like and add features I don’t like on iPhone and iwatch
What’s the widget below the clock is this new
I believe it is Lumy.
@ thankyou

Apple just needs to put a camera on the Apple Watch that would be the ultimate.
My battery dont reisists a 20 hours
Music complication on the Apple Watch is still garbage.
