- Can the Apple Watch Ultra 2 become my only daily driver device? Today I do my yearly test to replace my iPhone with an Apple Watch to see how long the battery lasts, if I can navigate places, buy things with Apple Pay, and communicate with friends via message & phone calls.

Im not getting haptics all the time throughout the day. Any known issue?
This reminds me of the first video I watched of yours. I love it❤️
Thanks Shervin for the video! Looking forward to see another review at the end of 2024. I am sure Ultra 3 will be a huge improvement. I always enjoy your videos, thanks for what you are doing!
Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas Shervin!
Standing at my kids bus stop I get a random call from Shervin and here we are. It all makes sense now 😂
HAHAHA random phone calls are fun
Amazing video happy Christmas to u
merry christmas!
I’ve been considering doing this more often. The biggest cons for me has been: not being able to listen to my music on my cars Bluetooth and also feeding my screen time addiction.
I’ll typically carry my AirPods and a little cash though.
It does feel nice not carrying your phone occasionally.
So, just enjoy silence in your car and you'll have the best ideas ever Tony.
You could leave your iPhone in the car ^^ So you‘d have a backup too if the watch dies
I’m sure I connected my watch to my Bluetooth receiver in my car ages back. You just go to Bluetooth settings on watch and then search for the connection
You can't connect your watch to you car's bluetooth?
@@projecn6359 ha! You bet ya! Don’t get me wrong.. remembering the feeling of having to listen to radio shows is not something I miss from the 90s! My car doesn’t even have a CD player!
Great video as always.
Do does your watch have to have a different phone number with a separate phone plan if it’s not connected to your phone?? Or is it a seamless integration using your same phone number??
Looking at my phone bill, it's a separate plan and phone number for data on your Apple Watch cellular
Depends on your provider. But it should be seamless. Usually $5-15 per month extra
Great video, looking to get my first Apple Watch.
Moustache is back! Helpful video. Similar to the iPad Mini only experiment.
Yes it comes & goes!
Call me Tour de France baby let’s goooo! 🤣🤣🤣. Great video!! Loved it!!
Great video. It’s a great companion for the iPhone, but not a replacement
Exactly!
By design, I'm sure. They have no incentive to do anything other than sell us shit we don't need.
Now please do a video of this with Apple Watch series 9 cellular 45mm. That would be awesome. I use Apple Watch series 9 cellular 45mm and battery last 90% of the day with medium use.
I just got myself an Ultra watch 2 and I am loving 3 to 4 days of battery life on low power mode!!!! 🔥🔥
Great video, Shervin! 👍👏💪
Thank you!
planing to buy one too 👍
Great video! What Apple Watch band are you rocking?
Liked the video! Can you try this with the series 9?!😊
Perfect vid man. I wish it lasts me at least 2 days but with constant use I gotta charge it everyday still
One day we’ll get Garmin like battery life
@@ShervinShares Does having cellular connection impact the battery life vs no cellular?
Considering making AWU2 my phone alternative. Can you easily switch the cellular E-sim to an iPhone at any time? Does it synch seamlessly with an iPhone?
Thanks for the informational video!
@@David-kl4km Yes using cellular significantly impacts your battery life. No you cannot switch your E-Sim from phone to watch and vice versa, you'll have to add your watch to your plan - some carriers do not support this and it can cost anywhere from $5-15 dollars per month.
Always brings a smile to my face when I see a new upload from you, Shervin. I’m going through a rough time at the moment having raised a grievance against a colleague which my company have now used to in fact discipline me! Likely to lose my job as a consequence (through no fault of mine) as my company would rather brush the serious complaints I’ve raised under the carpet. I have a wife and 7 year old son and scared for my future. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. Merry Christmas buddy.
Should i help the tate community can help
Great video! I need my next watch will have celular because I am doing so much running and biking and I want to do it without need to carry my phone
did you find any improvement from the first ultra to the second? thank you
Great video 👍🏼 although I don’t own an Apple Watch anymore because too much distractions with notifications bombarding you all day long.
when you head out its good to turn off the wifi it makes it to go a bit more stress on top believe me it could last way more if you do that little adjustment and turn off background refresh.
such a good review too in NY
Could you do this same video in LTE only and low power mode the whole day?
7:15 thanks for addressing this!!
My favorite series 🔥🤩
yesss
Wow, @chaseTheSummit cameo appearance!!! My hope is that Apple leans into more and more gestures going forward. I'd love to be able to operate the entire watchOS with out using the touch screen. 🙏 🍎
Dude you have inspired me to try this. I would love to break free from my iphone.
I take my Macbook to work with me, (lots of down time) so in like 90% of cases, I wouldn't "need" my phone.
what band are you wearing looks cool
Nice bag have the same one
just got my ultra 2 and love it so far. watched a lot of your vids before i figured out if i really wanted it or not.
Keep or no ? I have S2 still working fine..
im a fan. if money isnt an issue then i recommend@@X.t.h.z
How did you enable weight with withings and your ultra 2 watch, I have siri on watch and also withings + scales on home wifi Thanks
FYI, you need the phone paired via BT/wifi to push health data on the paired phone. If you have the cell watch it still wont update over cell signal on the phone. That also means, that you cant share your health data over the watch, it's only shared over the paired phone AND the wearer must actively open the health app before the most recent health data is hsared with a third person. total bummer. It may be an edge case, but the use would be if you only wanted to monitor vitals from a remote location. Haven tried other functions yet, like share location and so on. But I assume it's the same.
Hi Shervin ! May I ask a question? I’m an Apple Watch user since Apple Watch Series 1, over the years I’ve noticed a certain .. hallow/ cavity / gaunt on my wrist where my Apple Watch used to be, am I the only one ? Not only you but also people that read me there.
Problem is that my wrist with this sort of cavity or gaunt is putting my Apple Watch on bad position, first I need to tighten more and also it reads datas from sensors not the best it can ..
I’ve switched from my usual left arm to my right arm and the reading are different like more fast and accurate
Maybe you have the problem too (not only you Shervin)
Good video. I wish Metro-North tickets and MLB (Mets) tickets were available on the Watch. The biggested downside to going Watch only is not having a camera handy.
I just got my ultra and tried to see if the nike band worked and haven’t changed since, ur great bro
Cool video and idea (ditching the phone) but that battery life seems shocking. Also surprised there are places in nyc which don’t take Apple Pay. Here in the uk it’s now very widely accepted - would have expected full coverage in US (maybe unrealistically).
Ive been going 6 months strong with only the Apple Watch, and I love it.
It’s wild to me that you still have to ask “do you take Apple Pay?” It’s only in the US this seems to be a thing. I never ask. If they take contactless they take Apple Pay.
Yep, 100% agree. I’m in Australia, and I’ve never asked if someone has Apple Pay, I just pay with it if it’s contactless
Especially that it's in the country where Apple was created that you actually have to be concerned about places not taking Apple pay. In the UK Apple pay has worked everywhere since contactless and Apple Pay's inception.
Come to Germany to see a totally different world… here in GER we often only accept cash
Shervin! Love your apple watch videos! I still obsessively watch your apple watch vs pixel watch video. Id love to your thoughts on the the Google pixel ecosystem and health integration there soon. I'm always going between Apple and Google products.
Where did you get that band ?
I have that feeling that I ve seen 3 times this video from this channel already lol
That’s odd
I don’t use it that much but close to this
And it gets at the end of the day with nearly 70%
As with everyone else who makes these "I replaced" videos, you will end up going back to a smartphone.
I'm not trying to be snarky or anything. Apple Watches just don't cover all the bases that most people need - and that is 100% intentional on Apple's part.
Want to compose a WhatsApp message? Good luck. Need to compose a detailed email with no grammatical or spelling mistakes? Have fun.
There are just too many things that are clunky and inefficient to do on a watch (or in some cases, impossible).
Everyone gets giddy and excited when watching Apple Watch marketing and thinks "Wow! I can leave my iPhone at home and have less screen time!" ...but if they go ahead with it, reality slowly kicks in.
I know it's less exciting, but you can get a small and simple phone (like iPhone SE) to discourage screen time, and set up software guards and reminders to spend less time on the device. The experience will be a lot better. Sure, it won't look as cool as an Apple Watch Ultra, and maybe people will think you have less money (*gasp*). But if you actually value what you claim to value, this will accomplish what you're looking to do in terms of spending more time in the world and less time on a gadget.
...and again, not to be snarky, but you didn't replace your iPhone - Apple made sure that you can't use an Apple Watch without an iPhone sitting around somewhere pushing notifications to your watch.
What you use the Garmin for if the Ultra is king?
loved the vid. Been wanting to find an alternative so I could stop bringing my phone everywhere. Only downside for me is not being able to pull out my phone to take a photo/video whenever I want
yes!
Making my Christmas!
woooo
Man you are a gadget addict
Hehe
How does WASD movement feel?
Can you do this with power saving mode the entire time to see how much will be left after the day. 9 percent at 4 pm is crazy
Is nike band available for apple watch ultra 2?
How can it track a walk on your watch and it doesn’t show you your live steps?? What’s that about?
Isn't paying with apple watch the same as using your card contactless? So if a business accepts your card then it should work with apple pay?
What is your reasoning behind wearing the watch on the right wrist instead of left. I have always worn my watches on the left wrist and it's really awkward when I switch. Do you see benefits of doing it the way you do?
15:28 Boom flashlight
Where did you stash your bag during your run???
May I ask how do you use Apple Pay on the terminal without having to double click the side button? My Apple Watch always ask me to double click when I use Apple Pay. Am I doing something wrong here? Please reply asap. I really want an answer. Thanks.
It's always the battery with smart watches unless it's a Huawei GT 4 or a TW5P then battery isn't a problem.
Almost bought an ultra 2 a couple of days ago for this exact scenario and after watching this, boy am I glad I didn't. Apple really needs to step up their game with battery life, I think that's what everyone seems to be asking for. I've heard rumors that the next generation of ultra will potentially have a different screen technology that could increase battery life. If the ultra 3 can't get at least 5 days I'll be bummed, I don't think thats a ton to ask if you see what some devices like the Garmin Epix are doing.
Totally understand, had the same doubt.
But he is using it the whole day. If I use it in a normal day, it lasts up to 3 days, a big difference you can also enable a lot of features that saves battery energy during the day.
So after 3 weeks of using I am really positive about the battery life!
My Apple Watch Series 9 45mm cellular lasts 90% of the day with medium to medium high use.
Does the watch have any preset workouts installed on it? Like on my garmin it has cardio workouts/tabata/timing on it by default
No, but you can make some yourself.
This video was very insightful. I only wish your son made a cameo.
Looking to do this once ultra 2 sales resume. Most days of the week I’ll be leaving my iPhone in my closet.
Didn’t you select running lane 2?🤔
am i nuts or is your watch on upside down! shouldnt the wheel part be on the right?
I see Shervin post, I click 😂 Did I hear correctly, run Leadville?
should I??
@@ShervinShares do you like hills? Leadville is an out and back and the turnaround is after going straight up Hope Pass which is the highest point of elevation on the course. But it’s a fun way to question your life’s decisions lol
@shervinshares Hi Shervin, this sounds stupid but it might be something you'd be able to test. I'm curious to know whether an apple watch can be be used on the ankle during sleep and if it gives out the same metrics as it would when you wear it on the wrist. That would be a great video!
Backpack name? Cool!
Peak Design
Pls choose lane 1 at the track if you do lane 1 not lane 2
Is sleep tracking OK? I mean does it bother you during sleep? It's much larger and taller than the S9
Compared to the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic…their smart features are better…and you were in lane 1 on the track
It's so disappointing that it doesn't even support E-Mail without iPhone. Thanks for the video.
Last thing i need in my life is range anxiety on my watch. Ill stick to my automatic watch until these devices have power reserve for days,
This really crap battery life! Cool video, thanks.
Using GPS all day, texting and payments, multiple workouts, and 10+ hours while navigating new York, all while using cellular and the battery being a rechargeable wearable on your wrist!? I think to impress you we'd need a miracle
I would never do this. You literally cannot fast forward/rewind with Apple Music or Spotify. It has no browser. etc.
I don't think the watch is quite there yet and Apple is moving toward glasses-like wearables to replace the phone. My Ultra 2 is an incredible piece of tech. Easily the best smart watch you can buy. It's not going to replace my 15 PM, but it does compliment it nicely.
you talked about uploading your runs to strava, but you have not uploaded a run since august 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
i upload all the time! you have to follow me to see the runs :) - i hide most my runs so only followers can see
@@ShervinShares oh I see them now thanks 👍
Ok Doctor Robotnik
Hahaha
Hmm. ”Can i Pay with Apple Pay?” Is a question ice never askes in my life. All stores and restaurants accept cards here, and all who accept cards accept all variants of contactless. Apple Pay, Google pay, Samsung pay or any card, except some don’t do American Express at all or for small purchases because of high fees. But I think you can even circumvent that using mobile pay here… in Sweden 🇸🇪
Oh. We don’t use WhatsApp much here either. iPhones are as common here as in the US. And messenger is more preferred over WhatsApp for messaging. Or Snap for the younger crowd.
@18:00-18:10Mustache is a little crooked, it’s bothering me
Bring back the iPhone mini apple
That’s is the one thing I hated more than anything else about New York City. Not taking credit card or Apple Pay is something inexcusable even in my small town in Indiana there isn’t a business that is cash only. Most of them accept Apple Pay even though many of them don’t know it.
On what wrist do you prefer to wear your Watch?
Why you have wifi on? It drain the battery extra.! Greets appie from Amsterdam i have thé ultra 2. I like your video’s😊
I didn’t think about turning it off! Also helps with improving location services
Why don’t places in America take Apple Pay? I use it without issue in Europe
we're just behind haha
Are you from europe, you use 24h time and whatsapp..... We all use that here in europe.
"Can i survive without my iphone" damn... thats crazy.
What if you need to call an Uber? That's the only hiccup if find when considering leaving my phone at home.
We are almost in full Dick Tracy mode
Could you last 7 days with only the Ultra 2 and a cellular iPad? Phone switched off entirely.
👍
I think it is easier to replace iphone with a watch in Scandinavia eg Sweden as 100% accept apple pay and very few accept cash, subway you tap your apple pay to travel and whole city is covered in 5G.. I just wish more apps are developed for the watch such as Whoop and gym apps to access facilities
Don’t understand how this works fully, I get done at the gym after 5 hours or so and mine goes from 100 to 85… Battery life seems a lot better than shown here
I have icky feelings about mustache s but his for some odd reason it makes me so jealous
It was possible the last time, if it isnt with the Ultra 2 i'd return it lol!
The bezels take so much valuable screen
yes but it looks cool and protects the screen a bit more
As someone who lives in the EU I was surprised about the “do you take Apple Pay question”. Here if they take credit cards and I can’t think of anybody who doesn’t (even the buskers in Barcelona do!) then they will take Apple Pay. I honestly can remember the last time I used cash. Even if a €1 espresso.
Thanks for a fun video.
Where I live, I’d say 90% of places take Apple Pay, except at dine-in restaurants, where it’s about 10% of places.
Sometimes the tap to pay terminal is something the cashier needs to pull out or move from behind the register, so the “do you take Apple Pay question” is sometimes a prompt to really ask “where the heck do I tap?”
This rocky rococo?
the big vaseline pot next to the bed :D rofl
it's for running & not chaffing hahah
And now the sales are halted
What Are your go to credit cards for Apple Pay ?
