Apple's new Apple Watch ULTRA sets lofty goals by aiming for divers, hikers, and extreme sport lovers, but does Apple reach their goals? Though not all the features are available, Jake is taking a look at this new watch to see if it could possibly be worth it's high price tag.

Two things for Jake to know:
1. Complications is the watch industry term for any facet on a watch that does more than tell time. "They're called complications because they "complicate" the watch and watchmaking process."
2. The Ocean band has an optional extension if your wrist is too chonky. I guess it's because if you're diving with it you might more length to get it around your wet suit? The band extension is an additional 50 USD.
As much as I want the bigger battery, this watch is probably overkill for me. At least the Ultra works with existing bands, though. Plus, unlike the Series 8, the Ultra supports Bluetooth 5.3.
watch series 8 supports Bluetooth 5.3, but who cares? I don’t know what I’ll use it for.
@@flexingmecha how better? 5%? Is it noticeable though?
@@hazelnuts23 It might be what contributes to that really long battery life to be honest. 36 hours of battery life on a watch that can do so much is honestly pretty impressive, even with LTE enabled it still manages 18 hours and that is also equally impressive and gets up there with some phones.
Ewwww
@@hazelnuts23 More battery life for the Watch is always good. 5% would be nearly an hour more battery life (calculated from 18 hours, nearly two for the ultra).
They need to add an altimeter for skydivers. We have to buy a completely different gps, accelerometer, and altitude sensing device. All for the low price of 1300, I’d pay 799 for a Apple Watch then
Honestly a great idea that I bet they will add in a future generation
Can't wait to see this added in the Apple Watch Ultra 2
It does have an altimeter? Since the series 6 I believe
Do you trust it? I don't even trust it to be my dive computer
what for the less than 0.5% of people? It’s not going to happen. Not any time soon anyway.
Jake has really nice hands and nail job 3:07
Since I got my Series 8 I have been having little flashes of "Oh! I should have sprung for the Ultra!" but if I spend another 10 seconds on that thought I realize I'd be buying it just because of what it represents instead of what it can do. I would never take fully advantage of it as I think many people do.
Apple did right in putting this watch on the 799 price range instead of the Edition watches (RIP) because I think they will sell more of that price bracket this way but it also makes regular people like me reflect on which one to truly get. Ultimately, I'm happy with my Series 8 it was a good upgrade from my old S5.
I could imagine the siren being quite handy if you manage to survive something like an avalanche but are buried under too much snow to dig yourself out of, as the siren would help rescuers to find you, assuming the siren could also reach through packed snow.
Watch the review by dcrainmaker, he showed that the siren use a particular pattern that allows it to be heard pretty far away.
How loud is the siren underwater? The world will never know
The fish will definitely know!! 🐟🦈🐡
probably loud enough, water transmits soundwaves pretty well. You could hear a person using this but you might not even see him underwater
Clearly someone hasn't been chased on fish police
Sounds travel faster in water so it’s probably loud enough
@@faucher8 sound travels WAY slower in water
The band he’s wearing is the Black Unity Band (2021) celebrating Black History Month they cost $100 on Apple’s website.
13:01 This guy needs to host some videos. That voice cannot go to waste.
No kidding
I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks after upgrading from my Series 5 Edition, and it’s a massive upgrade…screen is much more legible, I can actually type on the tiny keyboard rather than having to draw each letter individually, and the battery life can get me through two days, if not 3 in a pinch. Worth it for the battery life improvement, in my humble opinion.
I really hope they can bring the battery life improvements to the lower models in the future as the ultra just seems overkill for my use personally. But I'd love to be able to get 2 or maybe even 3 days out of the battery.
I moved to Epix 2 for that battery life... two weeks of battery
apple locking the new keyboards to the new watches instead of putting it on the 42mm watches is an asshole move
I already ordered mine. It’s gonna take a while to get here though unfortunately so I’ll have to wait. But I’m definitely getting Nomad’s titanium strap to go along with it for daily use and switch to the ocean strap for when I workout or go swimming/diving (I actually dive so I’m curious to see how it performs).
I am buying the hell out of the second generation of this thing. Can’t justify it yet because my Series 4 is still doing so well. Doubt it gets the watchOS 10 upgrade but it will be 5 years old by then so that’s pretty good. My 44mm is only occasionally starting to give me low battery notifications. I’ve always charged it daily. I think this is a pretty good price for what it is. Everyone forgets the old Series 7 titanium was $849 so this thing is $50 cheaper and better in every way with a nicer band and is still titanium.
That’s going to be my problem, not buying the series 2 ultra 😂 because I brought the ultra this year. I’m terrible at wanting new devices or gadgets 😂
Wow, your going to notice a big leap in performance if you come from the 4 ;)
Have there been any rumours about the 2nd generation of it yet?
I bought the ultra but can’t wait for the series 10 of the ultra. I will buy that in a heart beat!
imagine defending the price god apple fans are insane
My wife's been loving hers for the past few weeks. Her main thing has been the battery life improvement, and overall better readability (because it's slightly larger than her last one).
if I didn't already have the excellent Polar Grit X I'd get this. Given the Grit is 600 and this is 800 but has integrated cellular and a freakin diving computer (that I'd use a few times every summer) and a ton of other cool features I'd immediately get it.
@@RandomUser2401 I'm in the same boat with the Fenix 6x Sapphire, if it weren't already ridiculously overpowered for my general use case plus my mountaineering, I'd totally be grabbing one, particularly if it had Garmin inReach capabilities like the Fenix series does.
Been loving mine... found a great Ti wrist band for it so all Ti looks awesome :)
The Apple Watch Ultra has been almost unnoticeable in terms of size compared to the Series 4 that I upgrade from, as in there's no downside at all from the size upgrade. The battery life is fantastic, my Series 4 after 4 years of use needs to be charged about once a day, it lasted just about 2 when I first got it. I charged my Ultra to 100% at 12:14 on Wednesday, I'm going into Friday with 30% remaining. That's with the always-on display but the wrist raise turned off. I'm sure there's plenty of ways you can optimize the battery itself to get even longer, but it's working great as is.
I told myself that I'd turn the always-on display off when I get a new watch, but I wasn't anticipating the Ultra, and I'm tempted to keep it on because the battery life is so great compared to my Series 4.
If you're scoffing at the price of the Apple Watch Ultra compared to the Series 8, I suggest considering: an upgrade to cellular is $100, so that $399 becomes $499, and then the upgrade from aluminum to the more durable stainless steel is another $200, taking that $499 to $699. For the 45mm size, the prices go from $429 to $529 to $749. Throw in the cost of one of Apple's more premium bands and you match the price with the Ultra, while getting a bigger, brighter screen, double the rated battery life, the improved GPS, the action button, a braided charging cable, and an even more durable case and screen. The video that iupdate did trying to damage the Ultra ended up breaking the actual OLED pixels underneath the sapphire before damaging the sapphire itself (which I don't think the sapphire was damaged at all even then iirc). The only downside is that it's such a good value that it's still about a month out depending on which band you want or where you get it from.
battery life fantastic? smh
@@votdfak for an actual smart- and not sportswatch, yes
@@RandomUser2401 Epix is smartwatch... and two days for Ultra is still laughable...
@@votdfak No. Just no, how do you Einsteins not get this. ALL the watches from Garmin and Polar are SPORTS watches with some smart features.
They differ in key properties from actual SMARTwatches like the AW which has a huge influence on battery life.
Two days in an actual smartwatch is far from laughable.
@@RandomUser2401 what am I missing on Epix?
I was a bit unsure when I ordered mine. Does it justify the price? Will it be too big? A few weeks in and I think it’s the best product Apple has made in years. It’s a truly premium smartwatch that justifies its price and you quickly get used to the size.
I’m really excited to see what MacAdress makes around this watch.
As someone with a 41mm watch, I’m hoping some of the features come to a smaller model. I’ve tried on the 45mm, and that already looks quite large on my wrist.
"wow you sounds like jake"
"no way! wait, which jake?"
"*yea*"
I’m an Android guy but I’ve went to this watch as I’m a hiker with Addisons and Type One Diabetes in Scotland. Having satellite calling on the iPhone, and fall detection with very accurate GPS and proper navigation functionality is amazing. I was holding out until the Pixel Watch, but even my Fitbit has more sensors that that £400 watch… despite them owning Fitbit.
My cat was incredibly interested in the siren noise.
Regular watch bands work as well. I didn’t like the band I got with my Apple Watch Ultra, so I’m using my old, white silicone band.
Was never really a fan of the square watch, but this does look like a dope watch.
But it's hard to get around that price point, wow.
I'll stick with my garmin.
Love the revamped Short Circuit look
Get an artificial depth tank that uses pressure or whatever for the testing Lab that would be awesome!
The holes in the ocean band can be used to run bungee cords through it to secure more equipment.
Your sponsor dbrand: "why you bulling me?"
I got 59 hours or normal use, no cellular on my last full charge on the Ultra 😎
I feel at that price it could have had an actual flashlight and more buttons for gloved or underwater navigation of basic features
People have measured it to do 1000 nits which is roughly equal to 3300 lumen. That is a lot of light when you are out in the woods at night or underwater. A maglite ml300L will do “only” 487 lumen.
Set the poop waypoint as brown and set the siren to go off if you get close to it lol.
The backtrack and waypoint is definetely useful
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
Does anyone know where to get that regular black elastic armband that Jake uses?...
Apple watch video when the pixel watch is dropped the same day. Lol. Love it.
I turned of Raise to Wake but left Always On Display on, with medium brightness set and get about 48 hours out of it.
If you're into diving and want to see a test, DC Rainmaker made a fantastic video with simulated depth/pressure.
until the dedicated dive app comes out is useless
Interesting but as a diver i would stick to an actual dive computer with tank pressure integration. Most likley Shearwater or Garmin
3:08 is Max back?!
(Cause yes, it's the only person with nail polish!) 😝
Never did I think I enjoy Luke more than Linus on videos. But after Linus horrible video on AirPods Pro, where he overlooked settings and the back button to the point the editor had to blur it, this video felt really good. I love it when they reciew products and take time to look up things. The ultra isn’t for me but I do enjoy good videos. I wish the pixel watch was more competitive. Or withings to an Apple Watch.
I have never described my apple watch or its box as eloquent @3:12. But hey, maybe Siri really is convincing in the way she speaks.
I caught that one too. Good catch!
The Watch 5 Pro too has "Titanium" & "Sapphire" crystal for roughly half the price!!
11:07 Dude, Jake that was a smart idea..
I would have loved to hear that underwater!!
I can’t justify getting it cause I have a series 6, but the dive computer makes me really excited. I don’t think it would be able to read the PSI in the tank cause it wouldn’t be attached to it, but it would be really nice to have. The only reason I wouldn’t get personally it is because it’s only rated for something like 40-60m, which is only really deep enough for recreational diving and not anything past that
If I'm not mistaken I think it's actually rated for up to 100m? I might be wrong on that but I'm pretty sure the 40m rating is only for the currently included diving app which stops reading at that depth. The new diving app mentioned in the video though should allow it to read up to 100m.
@@ProXcaliber no, they will cap it at 40m. It's not meant for tech and the app is also subscription based.
@@kevinji7285 Subscription based dive computer? This has gone too far. Imagine your subscription expires halfway through a dive lol. I'll keep my dive computer with dedicated hardware/software plus months of battery life and no subscription.
@@kevinji7285 Of course it isn’t meant for tech.
Man.. Jakes hands at the 3:08 mark 😳
What have they changed recently in the short circuit set, that the hosts keep looking slightly lower than the camera. It could be a teleprompter, but I thought that SC was supposed to be unscripted. I noticed this too on the linus 4090 video. It's really distracting
Love to see all the Lius Media team, doing videos _:D
3:07 loving the hands, very All Aussie Adventures, but I'm biased
Sarah's hands for the Series 7 Review.
3:05 I got really confused for a second with the sudden hands swap.
i wanna see this guy do a what’s on my hard drive challenge
When Linus intervenes "It's a sleeve, not a brace" "yeah whatever"..oh fatherly love.
@0:50 that's clearly Candy Mountain, Charlie! Yay!
yall should do a bangle js 2 review :) open software and hardware
"*ur welcome -editor" hahah, nice one!
man I wish these would have even better battery life... like garmin instinct 2 with MIP screen for example, which has 30 days of battery life without gps on
3:11 that ain’t his hands lol
That are Sarah's hands for the Series 7 Review.
“Oh look a snow mountain” is how i’d feel lol
Diver here yea it sucks it dosent have a few features like tank info but this is usable outside of that which is great. Many Dive Computers do cost around 1000$ so this actually dosent seem a bad deal tho it depends on the app
Crazy that jake painted his nails for just a couple of the top down shots!
3:08
Honestly I use my Apple Watch a bunch on my motorcycle from maps to a bunch of things so I’m pleased with this!
I'll never see the appeal of a watch that will stop telling the time unless you have the charger and can find A/C power within a few days???
i have an android phone
which smart watch do you recommend??
im new in this stuff
Pixel quite literally launched a new watch today, so I'd wait for reviews for that to come in. Other than that, the new Galaxy Watches and some Garmin's review well for Android. Fitbit and WearOS watches don't review as well, but may be cheaper than a Pixel or Samsung watch.
jake is so socially awkward in the very best way, love ya terminator… (pew pew 😂)
i have the ultra 3 Month and I love it. That what Ultra needs to be.
THe price is steep. But looking at the non ultra LTE model, with a band, and everything else the price delta, last I checked, was about $100 USD. So getting "that much more" battery life alone is a yuuuge selling point.
It also has 2 years financing which is less per month than the equivalent lte 8 series by quite a bit
The cellular 45 mm series 8 with a band is $529 and the 41 mm is $499, or knock $100 of those for GPS only. So the price difference is actually like $270-$300 which is much more significant. Plus I would imagine there will be a fair amount of people that don’t actually need the cellular capability and won’t use it just because it’s a premium apple product. It is a cool watch though and makes me excited for the future
@@manicnode9303 depends which one you buy (Stainless Steel 8 or Titanium S7) and which band.
@@CertifiedSlamboy well sure, but why buy the titanium series 7 (which I can’t even seem to find anywhere new online via a quick search) when the ultra exists now. Also every single person I know that owns an Apple Watch (myself included) would just buy the cheapest band package because we all just end up buying cheaper non-apple bands. I don’t know anyone that uses the band that came with their watch.
@@manicnode9303 Don't get me wrong it's EXTREMELY expensive. But that 36 hour battery life alone is worth it. The friend that bought it basically figured if they can kinda sorta get away with charging their watch every other day the VALUE alone at even 50 cents a day is tangible.
Being forgetful and *needing* the watch -- well there ya go. I don't recall the exact load out, they must have picked up apple car or something.
may not be a terrible idea to use as a back up dive computer or a back up to the back up type but idk if I would trust it my life compared to dedicated computers that are the same price
Also the ISO rating for the water resistance of the watch is the kind done to regular watches (ISO 22810), not what Dive watches normally have (ISO 6425). Don't know if that really matters, since I'm not a diver, but it is interesting.
I'm pretty sure Apple themselves even stated that you shouldn't rely solely on the Apple watch as a dive computer and you should still have backups just in case because you never know.
well the app is made by oceanic so the algorithm for deco is solid, oceanic knows a thing or two about diving gear
Can someone tell what strap Jake has in his series7
what am i missing with the dbrand stuff, is there a back story?
i can still hear it... no sound 😂 😂
Honestly, as cool as this looks, I probably don’t go on enough outdoor trips to make it worth it over a Series 8. And my Series 5 is still hanging in there just fine. Since it’s basically worthless for trade in, I think I’ll keep rocking that until it stops getting updates.
It's fun to watch them show off technology that I will never have the money to buy
“Urr, pew pew” 😁 Love it
Reminds me of the OPSAT from splinter cell games 😂
The sensor on the back looks nowhere as large and protruding as the photos, which is a plus.
"Do you know what mountain this is?"
"Snow Mountain!"
*three seconds later*
"So you can get *Alpine band*"
Wild guess, the picture was of the Alps.
"Alpine" can refer to the higher parts of tall mountains generally.
@@VitalVampyr That is true, though you can see the connection between the two dots.
To be fair, big mountains at that height with filters on the picture to begin with, not necessarily very recognisable, you can tell how many peaks there are if you really know your mountains but other than that, pretty rough.
To be fair also, Alps are like a whole area of mountains not just *a* mountain so...
As i said, a wild guess, it'd be subtle but funny if it was true though.
I've had a KeyBar made out of a solid cut of titanium of a decade now, and it doesn't have a single scratch in it. I'm hoping the Ultra is real titanium, and not a high aluminum blend. When you're on the side of a mountain, you lose 1/4 of available satallites. 1/2 when in a ravine. And 3/4 when in a canyon. We'll see if the difference is like the $100 upgrade to most Garmin GPSs. The GPS on my Series 5 loses connection as soon as I enter a ravine, and my phone really struggles to stay on the path. I feel like the new GPS is going to be AS GOOD as the phone. But nowhere near a GPSMAP.
Got mine earlier this week. Been loving it so far, I had been a Google fangirl for over a decade, but since the past few years I've moved to Apple, iPhone 13 Pro Max and Apple Watch Ultra, definitely the best combo until Google decides to care about its customers again, I might grab the Pixel 7 Pro, but first the 2022 iPad Pro.
Are you saying Apple care about customers? Nice joke.
@@KanadeTachibanaBlackMidi No, not at all, but I've had numerous issues where it's clear Google has become increasingly disorganized, the Stadia decomissioning being a perfect recent example, along with targeting the mainstream consuming while having their higher end products at a non competitive price with worse off real world performance compared to other offerings. And Google is no longer the same as when they were making the Nexus phones, and the new pixel watch would only be impressive 3 years ago, especially compared to modern releases from Samsung and Apple in the past month.
I'm considering giving up and coming back to Apple. My Pixel 6 Pro gets scaldingly hot at times. I also bought a Fossil Gen 6 with the promise it would get Wear OS 3 a few months after lauch, approaching a year now so I sold it out of disgust.
@@AugustERaven Do you just buy everything new to have it for bragging rights or just to have the best even though you don’t really need it?
Well, I did the complete opposite, after 15 years of Apple. 12 Pro --> Fold 4, AW6 SS --> Garmin Epix 2, Airpods Pro --> Sony wf1000xm4. When Apple decides to give us something revolutionary again, like iPhone X, I'll come back.
Are you ever going to check out a garmin watch crazy long battery life and great for outdoors
Why did the get the unhealthiest member of the organization to review a Sports / Outdoors watch?
Seriously guys, we are gonna pass the 2M soon wow what a blast keep it up
we?
@@JamieReynolds89 lol do you think they have 2 Millions bots or employees subs to the channel? or a community (we) of 2 millions growing and building something together with them.
Getting mine this week. First watch since the series 4. Very pumped for it. That extended battery life is going to be massive
The battery life is noticeably better but it’s not twice as good as my series 5. I’m not using any LTE on either watch. I’d say 60-70% better battery life. Not double, though.
I upgraded from my series 4 and have had it since it first came out, its wayyyy better, i cant wait to upgrade again in 4-5 years
What made you upgrade? My series 4 is still going strong with around 50% of battery left every evening. Also no lagg or slowdowns
ngl i'm not sure i trust it to actually be sapphire considering that the 'sapphire' they did for the iphone cameras still scratched at a mohs hardness level 6.
I love all LTT channels. Watch all off everu day. But seems due to enough staff there dumping fun moments in there now... Loge it ! Keep up.. much love from netherlands
Can someone translate this to English for me?
@@Medabee8 Unfortunately I’m not fluent in Condescending, otherwise I would’ve translated it for you!
"Wait. which Jake?" "haha yeah" That joke was great 😂
"as far as you have other apple products you probably have an usb c charger already" and he said it without the slightest smile...
At first the watch box was upside-down and then the just skipped to the opened outer cover and WOW LOOK AT THAT UNBOXING EXPERIENCE
Silly Jake.
They sell an extension for the ocean band
apple watch bands are interchangable with different sizes, they just look real dumb on the wrong size. at 45 mm band on a 38mm watch sticks out alot
This almost makes me want to get it, but even I can't justify this as a luxury expense. At least my 4090 will be used for CP2077 Overdrive mode....this thing? I'd never even use half the features :/ That battery life though!
The previous versions of the titanium Apple Watch felt stupidly overpriced since those were the same watch, just nearly double the price just because they were titanium.....This time, it does look like it's going to be worth it for some people since the price hasn't risen compared to the older titanium models while having a load of new features.
Umm,
is there a new feature all the other watches, in this series, do not have?
No:
It is just an expensive case that anyone could afford to replace/repair in its lifetime.
OMG!!!
It has a depth gauge??!!?!?! That means I can leave my dedicated DG in a thrift shop!!!! (not)
SLEEP TRACKING!!!
My 5 does that.
O2!!!??
Yeah, what every 'extremists' sports needs: a first gen wrist $19.00 pulse O2. (I cannot sing anymore; I wonder what that means?)
It is a gen 8 with colors that let people know you have too much money.
"My clock is bigger than yours, bigger than yours, bigger than yours".
Because old fit people still cannot read 45mm...?
smh
@@LilRedDog battery life not a factor for you? Brighter display not a factor?

I think that was a missed point for most reviewers the price vs old Ti apple watches actually is excellent
@@LilRedDog
Just say you're a salty Apple hater next time.
It'll be quicker.
Cool watch but man do I want a nice metal band on it. How cool would a Titanium band just like the stainless be for this.
13:47 "You probably have noticed that cop cars that the lights inside of them, they're red"
No I have not Jake, but I also don't drive a BMW whose drivers constantly get pulled over, so.
It makes me crazy how low he wears the watch and the dile is poking into his hand.
Also you should wear them a little bit higher and tight for better readings.
"no charger in the box cuz its appel" litlery every other phone producer as well...
The math on the temperature limits?? I’m concerned because it’s actually -4F. Seems awfully light. But then again, my series 7 survived 6 hours in -25F before the wind chill factor 🤷🏼♂️
I have one usb C charger, it's annoying that I don't have at least one other, but at the moment I make do with usb A chargers for the rest
I'm amazed Dbrand still sponsors you
I don’t have large wrists, but I’ve been rocking it for a few days now 😂 it’s not NOT chonky , but it’s not NOT doable, lolol, plus 3 day battery life and higher durability (cuz I tend to bang my watches on everything) and larger screen are pluses for me
Looks just stupid on small wrists for me. But if you are happy with it...
Should've got someone who already uses a GPS watch to unbox this. We all love Jake but this watch is targeted at someone who hikes, runs, """adventures""", etc. Regardless of how many normal people will buy this, there's a lot of crucial insight here that was missed by having someone unfamiliar with the market segment treat it like just a different shell for the apple watch.
Anyone reading this comment who wants a good, in-depth review of the sportier features check out DC Rainmaker or DesFit's initial impressions/reviews
Stuff like the dual-band GPS paired with way bigger battery are super cool for us hikers/runners who wore Garmins because a regular apple watch was just too fragile and with too little battery for our needs
I appreciate Neptune, the Mystic at the beginning of the video
'Complication' is the term the watch world uses for any feature above the standard time on a watch. It's not just Apple.
