Upgrading from a series 7 in starlight to the ultra 2 in black. Definitely looking forward to it. The moment the ultra came out I regretted going from the series 7 to the 3, felt like I should have waited a little longer.. But now I’m glad, the ultra in black is looking awesome. Cant wait for mine to arrive.
@@MyViewon_Life Nah, dude has still has the original Ultra 2 to fall back on. And we're just talking about testing scratches, which I too am curious about.
It’s upsetting that they didn’t really update the hardware this time around for the ultra because I would’ve 100% picked up the black color but not enough of an upgrade compared to my series 1 so hopefully next year they make a series 3
This helped me decide to get an Ultra 2 instead of a 10. Being at an Apple Store and trying both on with different bands helped me decide to cancel my Ultra 2 Black order and get one in natural titanium instead. There was something about the finish that didn’t look right. An Apple employee nailed it for me, saying it took away the titanium look to the point of looking plastic.
Everyone wants to know if the black scratches easily and if it is easy to see. Definitely have an opportunity for bulk view. People with love to watch it ;)
It looks really nice in that stealthy black. But Dave, would you settle this once and for all...for every day workouts and fitness, what is better, Apple or Garmin?
I think natural is more shining and looks smarter whilst the black colour is more if you wish to keep a low profile or if you like more of a casual look perhaps by pairing with a brown leather strap
hello, I would like your honest opinion, what should I choose, Apple ultra 2 black or fenix 8? which do you think is better, more professional? Thank you!
Ultra gets more battery life, brighter screen, and generally a much more rugged build and deeper water resistance rating. Is it better? I wouldn't say that... It's different. If you want a rugged watch, Ultra. If you want a sleek smartwatch Series 10.
I just bought the black model, it arrives Monday. Making the rounds to see what the big deal is with the Ultra 2 vs a regular apple watch (was on a series 6 with cellular/stainless that held up to quite a lot over the years). Missed opportunity folks - not getting this vidya to 500+k...
Hi nice video, I want to buy ultra 2 watch but confused which one is the best. Apart from colour difference do they have any other differences as in functions etc
I just don’t understand the need for a Bezel. Would be so much better without it considering you have the titanium framing now. It seems like their reasoning is likely to continuously decrease the size over each model so that people continuously buy more watches. However, I’ll just wait until they get to what I want.
Bro, it’s just an introduction to a new color! What changes were you expecting? If they are going to make changes, it will be the Ultra 3. Hell, the watch has only existed 2 years.
Looks awesome, unfortunately I had to cancel my pre-order. DC Rainmaker has a video out there clearly showing scratches on the bottom of the watch after dragging it across concrete, but then is trying to deceive people saying it is "tree fuzz" lol. When I called him out on it, he blocked me from commenting, but those are the first scratches I have seen so far. It's a great looking watch, but it's just hard to justify the money, on the black due to the scratches being more prevalent. Kind of wish they had an all black Alpine loop as an option. Good video!
Dude, I didn't block you. I literally responded to you with an actual photo showing it the next day as perfectly clean. You can find links to that photo within the comments section (I can't post links to other profiles here). Nevermind the fact that the entire video was shot in the afternoon, yet that single clip with tree fuzz was shot around mid-day since the sun briefly came out.

Hey man, I know this has nothing to do with this video but I have a question for you. I have a Garmin watch and I’m trying to figure out if I want to switch to a armband heart rate monitor I’ve been using the chest strap
Had a Series 8 and older before. Always had mixed feelings about the ULTRA, but got this one in on Friday. Really the Series 8 is still very good, just wanted the bigger screen, and Action Button seems it can be kind of useful vs the Series X. If I had a regular Titanium in the ULTRA though, I would not have bought one. I feel next year will be a better year for these. Not sure about the scratch resistance vs the Titanium, but will see.
I love my Apple Watch Ultra 2 I upgraded from a series 6 and it was a massive upgrade I love that I don’t have to worry about it dieing also I love the bigger display to
There's no reason for it. It's the same watch as last years Apple Watch Ultra 2 which I've already made countless videos on. This one... is just black.
I ordered all the black bands, but with the watch that black metal one so I have to wait till October 17 I should of got the green one I would’ve had it on release date, then ordered the metal bands separate🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thanks for the close view video. If you want to be fair the ultra 2 doesn’t need upgrade : The ultra 2 has a 3000 nits , the s10 has 2000 nits The s10 chip is the same as the s9. The only différence is the conception. S10 chip is in 1 level while the s9 is in 2 levels Ultra 2 has double battery life Maybe in sept2025 the ultra 3 Will Gey a wide screen like the s10 but there is nothing else to expect
Nope, it's not really a paint it's a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating that's essentailly made out of carbon and bonded to the titanium that creates a diamond like scratch resistance. It's unlikely to peel but it can scratch if you hit it hard enough.
It's so much better in black.
Almost everything is.
Yo iSheep, there was a knockoff android one in black color a year ago. Guess where Apple got it's "inspiration"
except for people
No. If it scratches the scratches are more visible.

Love the black!! Looks so much better and sleeker.
You have to do a scratch and impact test to see how well the black color holds up, no one has done it yet.

Upgraded from Apple Watch Series 7 to the new ultra black. Love the black look, glad I waited. The resolution difference is crazy ❤
I’m thinking of doing the same jump!
Mine’s supposed to get here tomorrow- nervous and excited and this is exactly the video I wanted!
Ya mine is coming today around 1 but I’ll be at work
Tom! Thanks for stopping by. It's a good looking watch!
I just got mine. It looks better than the previous one. I really like those colorful bits too.
😎I couldn’t agree more about Apple needing to put in a black charging cable and puck with the black watch. ✌️
This green bracelet looks insanely good. I ordered it right away.
It's real nice!
If you do a scratch test right now you’ll easily get 1 million views, no one had done it yet.
Big risk tho haha
@@MyViewon_Life Nah, dude has still has the original Ultra 2 to fall back on. And we're just talking about testing scratches, which I too am curious about.
@@MyViewon_Life that's how life works man
You could watch any number of PVD/DLC scratch tests. If you’re not concerned about impact specifically and just scratches, then it’ll be relevant.
It scratches easy.
Upgraded from Apple Watch Series 6 to the new ultra 2 black, I just love the black look, glad I upgraded. The size and resolution is so crazy.
Welcome back to Sa- we love having you guys 😊
I’m only updating from the Ultra 2 because of the color. Apple knows exactly how to get my money LOL!
you must drag the new Fenix as well or there is no base line!!!!!!!! That would be the best video ever with zero editing!
Zero editing but close to $2000 invested lol

It really looks great in black. Thanks Dave.
The watch looks super cool BTW. I almost bought the black watch with the tan alpine loop, sick combo, but I can't justify the upgrade from the AWU 1.
@@slapfan1 I can’t either I have both the AWU gen 1 and the Garmin Epix pro Gen 2 51mm and Gen 1 AWU is still my Favorite watch!!
@@davidbraswell1481 Same here! I used the Epix for about 4 months. Went back to my AWU and love it.
Scratch Test please!
I’ve been debating the ultra for a couple years. The black option sold me and I ordered it immediately.
I'm only here to grand 1 of the 500.000 views to see you drag the AWU 2 with your car :)
You answered an important question as to whether it would show scratches more.
Call me crazy but I think I have a very fine scratch on mine. I noticed it at work today. Feels like it’ll be the only thing I notice forever 😂
Is the scratch on the screen or the black casing?
@@Prettytony0627 the casing but I’m sure now it’s just a result of manufacturing. It’s tiny tiny.
Definitely looks better in natural titanium/ grey
I literally just got mine an hour ago. I had the regular Ultra 2 but traded it for this black one. It is really what I expected and wanted!!
I have a Galaxy Gear 4 so I'm currently awaiting this in the mail. Can't wait, real glad I waited this long to upgrade back to Apple
Super tempted to jump from my series 4 to this!
Definitely need a scratch test!
What was the band you had on your other apple watch? I really liked it.
Nike edition band is that

So hyped , just picked up the ultra 2 as my first apple watch!
Don't scratch or drag the watch behind your car. It's wasteful. Just use it and then let us know if it gets scratched from normal usage.
It wouldn't go to waste. I'd still wear it for the next year until the new one came out lol. I just don't care about scratches.
@@ChaseTheSummit Fair enough 😅

Worth the upgrade from series 6? And is ultra really better than the 10? Confusing a bit

Did the maps / hiking without your phone with no service ever get worked out kinda like the Garmin watches?
Great content. Is the ultra in black, is it black or gun metal gray 🤔
Sort of a mix of both
Think I'll stick with my Fenix 8, looks absolutely sweet though.
Dude did you just roll out of bed?😂

Dave, what watch do you use personally? Is it still FR 985, Fenix 9 or AWU?
Fenix 8 or U2 ?
It would be interesting to see the vertical oscillation & ratio plus ground contact time after the watch has had it's road 'trip'.
I think the Black looks awesome and I would buy it, if the battery life was longer. Because it isn't, I'm a Garmin wearer.
Totally do a scratch test I’m a bit skeptical of apples claim it’s more scratch resistant
Why would he purposely put scratches in his new $800 watch?
I went ahead with natural. Looks more appealing
Natural what?
Black is the colour that is for sure. On my wrist watching this.👏🇦🇺
what about the high blood pressure, do you have any idea when is coming? thanks.
Doesn’t the black ultra 2 show scratches more as opposed to the original u2?
Please test that PVD titanium case to its limits!
It looks really nice but I ain't giving Apple my $$ for a 1 year old design. I'm still rocking the Ultra 1 and looking forward to the Ultra 3.
Only real apple fans comparing 2 identical watches just in different colors with serious face looking for other differences
Id love for Apple to release a silver titanium one hopefully ultra 3 will have a silver option
Isn’t the regular ultra 2 silver? 🤔

Unlikely to affect GPS. but the Ultra doesn't really need a protector since the display is Sapphire.
