I was a watch collector, until I discovered the Apple Watch Stainless steel. I own Rolex’s, Brietlings, Omega’s, Panerai’s, etc and now they all stay on display in my home and have been there for years, one thing I’ve discovered since the Apple Watch, a expensive watch is just that, an expensive watch and has no other purpose but to tell time, and most people can’t tell if your wearing a $30.000 dollar watch or a $30.00 Knockoff, Apple watches do much more than that and the Ultra takes that to a new level as the guy stated in the video i only wear a watch from my collection if I’m going to some red carpet event, the Apple Watch Ultra is also my daily driver.
Yeah, sounds great....until it runs out of battery in 1-3 days then it’s completely useless. I would never go trekking in the wild with just a powered smart watch because, if something goes wrong, then you are done.
Cash in on some of those then🤨 rolex are only dropping in price if you dont have use for them just sell em. Better now than ever. With the way the world is going better you put that money into something else than dust collector🤷♂️
@Orrin Jones Jr agree with you. Also the comment no one will notice how expensive it is. First you don’t buy them to make ppl jealous. Second, if you are in the right environment many ppl will know. I get complimented quite often.
Thank you for taking the time to show us the case measurement and comparing it to other mechanical watches! That’s very helpful for those of us with smaller wrist sizes.
For those used to mechanical/ analogue watches, consider turning on the watch's always on feature. It will make the watch use and feel more like an actual watch, instead of a computer on a wrist. Yes you will lose a little battery life, but the tradeoff is worth it.
Much better to get a Tag Heuer, or Samsung, or MontBlanc smartwatch then. They at least look like a mechanical watch and have much better selection of watch faces. And they exist at multiple price points. Kind of like Seiko, Tissot, and Tag Heuer equivalents.
I’ve seen several reviews on the Apple Watch Ultra. You have managed to set yourself apart from the other reviews By adding in the measurements and your own thoughts and perspectives removing yourself from the echo chamber of every other review! I anticipate your channel is going to grow fast. subscribed!
I've watched many as well and I wish reviewers were more honest with the quality of Apple products. It just seems they want to sell them to you rather than inform you. Are they getting a cut? Free products?
My daily wear watch is a Rolex Submariner in ss/gold with a blue dial that I bought new in 2000. I have owned a Series 3 Apple Watch and currently own a Series 7. I have an Ultra on order and look forward to its added features. I use the Apple Watch to count steps and calories burned when exercising, primarily.
Please advice: I have Rolex watch and Apple Watch Series 7 as well. I like to wear Rolex watch as well but also want to wear Apple Watch for counting calories burning and exercises per day, I don’t know how to balance between these two watches.
The Apple Watch can save your life in tons of ways, the Rolex? Not so much. Last year I lost sight of the shoreline while jet skiing in Cancun, I got confused and couldn’t find my way back. Boy I’m so glad I had the Apple Watch that day and not my submariner, Lmao.
Watch guys should know “better than” is a moot question. Different tools for different jobs. Took the leap into apple watches with this one and it slots nicely as a daily beater and leaves my Rolex and Grand Seiko for “formal” casual situations. Love it
Swiss watches are just jewelry for guys at this point. Equally useless. Nobody needs moon phases on their watch. What we need is luxury smartwatches like the Apple watch Ultra, the MontBlanc, or the Tag Heuer. (just don't forget that the electronics need to be premium as well to match the premium price.)
@@cooluser23 is that supposed to be an edgy take? Of course watches are just jewellery. That’s one of their functions as well as other horological considerations.
I love how you compare the AW Ultra with a traditional watch in technical measurement - it is something that no other youtuber has ever mentioned. Great job!
To be frank, it looks monstrously big on your wrist. I'm looking for something closer to Rolex Yachtmaster / OP 36-esque kind of vibe that is petite sensuous looking case rather than anything that bulky.
First time watching your videos. With the level of quality of this video, I was surprised you have only 500 subs. Definitely subbing! Keep up the quality!
I bet corner to corner diagonally is 49mm?! I’ve got an ultra and at first it felt massive but now it’s completely normal I wear mine 247 for 3 days and on the third day I have to charge it at night when I have a wash etc!! Amazing!
Got my first apple watch SE2 40MM size... Love the fitness and activity tracking... However When I go out I put on a chain link bracelet and wear it upside down so looks more like an accessory and I will wear my mech watch on the other wrist
Perfect presentation and highly informative. I have a 40+-year-old Rolex GMT Master and plan on buying an Apple Ultra. Having been diagnosed as a pre-diabetic we are now walking every day and I need to get more activity into my daily routine and the Ultra will help me along. Cheers
Great to see an in-depth review from someone who also loves mechanical watches! I've been tempted in the past to buy an Apple watch, but, none of them - neither the polished stainless steel/gold nor the Hermes edition, which are Apple's best-looking watches when paired with a leather band or metal bracelet - impress me as much as a mechanical watch if we're talking aesthetics or notions of 'elegance' and 'class'. However as much as a traditional mechanical watch such as a Rolex Submariner, or Omega Seamaster and the like, started out as arguable 'tool' watches, nowadays they are seen more as 'luxury' timepieces and items of jewelry. On its specifications, features, and build quality, the Apple Watch ultra is the first Apple Watch that seriously tempts me; its features - especially health and safety, - are undeniable advantages over any mechanical watch, and indeed one could make the claim that this is the everyday 'tool' watch for the 21st century. I prefer the look on the wrist to the Series 8, as it is similar in size to a man's mechanical watch than a Unisex series 8, and indeed many mechanical watches are of similar size on the wrist in terms of lug-to-lug distance. As everyday wear, I think it looks very attractive and with a metal band can even be dressed up a little, albeit not as much as the series 8 and not even close to a mechanical watch; the always-on screen is nice, but it is dimmed, not fully on, and is always a 2 dimensional projected watch face image on a screen, and not the 3 dimensions of an actual watch face. Thanks for a great review and especially the mechanical watch size comparison. :-)
Little late to the party but the reason why the Watch ultra is only rated to 40 meter dive is because the factory dive app is only calibrated for that depth because that covers 95% of divers, while the watch is actually rated for 100 meters it’s been tested at like 3 times that depth and still didn’t fail.
Mechanical watches are just things to show off these days. The watch that's actually on my wrist daily is a smartwatch. It actually gives me information I need (Meeting alerts, reminders, remote control for spotify, fitness, phone calls) I don't need to see moon phases, or perpetual calendars. - they are just mathematical/engineering marvels. The best of both worlds would be smartwatch internals with swiss watch cases. Like a Tag Heuer connected. But my Samsung smartwatch has much better electronics than the Tag Heuer. Wish the two companies would just do a collab. Rather than the outdated 4100+ chipset and Wear OS2 in the Tag Heuer.
I have a Rolex. I am also 60 yo. While I love my Rolex, I think I need the O2, ECG, heart rate etc functionalities of the Ultra. I'll be getting it. Thank you for a great presentation.
When we look at watches on our own wrist, large watches may look ok. But someone else observing your wrist with the apple watch will tell you it looks way too big. I have 43mm sea-dweller, but I am thinking of downgrading to a 41mm sub.
As an new apple ecosystem user, but long time smartphone user The Apple Watch ultra is the first watch since I left my G Shock that I truely loved the feeling of Yeah the series 7 I had last year was nice, but the ultra is so beautiful Edit: let’s be real, mkbhd wore an Apple Watch to the Met Gala so idrc
love the looking and feeling of this ultra, but one thing I can't stand is. emm 1 day power? if this thing got 7 days power in low power mode, I will probably consider buying, if this got 30 days of power in low power mode, I'm happy to pay 3 times the price Personally I kinda hate anything that cost me extra effort especially for daily use I can leave my phone charge when im sleep or when im actually using it but not the watch. either took it off when sleeping, or have to thinking about charge take it off and put it on EVERY DAY is gonna to make me throw it to my kids as a toy 1 month after purchase 100%
10 years from now, your Rolex will double its value, but the Apple Watch will be 1/4 of its value if you are lucky. It’s an electronic gadget, not a real real watch, but a great functional gadget.
Don’t forget that you’ll be paying $800 every 5 or 10 years to get your Rolex serviced and keep it running correctly. (And don’t even think about the 2 months that your watch will then be away at the service centre) So essentially you can buy a new Ultra every time and it would cost you the same
Really? I have had my Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 Classic for at Least 5yrs (got it with my Note7) and it's working perfectly. That's DAILY use, and lately the battery has even increased capacity... lasting at least 24hrs. The watch (color display, rototing bezel) does everything and originally cost me $100 ~
Are you insane how can a digital watch is better than a rolex are you stupid or what? Try sell your Apple Watch in 10years 😂😂😂😂 then try to sell your rolex if you really have one.you can never compare a digital watch with one of the best watches that are rolex 😂😂😂😂😂
that is almost the Hermes orange. And nobody associates that with prison. Maybe you wouldn’t either look at it as the Hermes orange. 😂 I person like the color and the aesthetics, just not the band style, as it is not easy to take on/off and it will scratch my laptop. I personally use the braided solo loop. Although mine now has become a bit loose, so I am using the default trail loop until I get a smaller braided one.
Totally agree. I've worn my Sub nearly 24 hours a day (other than working out) for the better part of 30 years, but since getting the Ultra, I've worn it once. I think my Sub is going to be in the same category as a suit. I'll wear it when I want to make a specific statement. The Ultra looks to become my long-term daily driver.
@@legee4544 Clearly I'm not going to be wearing the Ultra in 30 years. Like I said, I'm not giving up my Sub - I'm wearing it today because I have a client meeting.
@@legee4544 Who cares lol? Seriously. I can’t even imagine the added features Smartwatches will have in 30 years and how useful they’ll be. Your Rolex OTOH will be the same old boring cookie cutter watch that anyone into watches isn’t impressed by and the general public you’re so desperate to impress doesn’t even notice. I’ve had many people ask me if my Seiko SKX007 was a Rolex! LMAO
@@k31rifleman A watch is a tool like any other tool. I use my Rolex for some purposes, an Apple Watch for others, and I don’t wear any watch at all for some of the most important purposes…
I love the Apple Watch Ultra, I have had a Tag Heuer for many years, but it becomes a worthless once the battery dies. The options in the Ultra are so many that I will keep my Tag Heuer in a nice case as I still think it is a beautiful piece of machinery.
LOL don’t say is better than Rolex , I and clock and watch repair with 40 years experience and the Rolex is like inversion keep going up every year …. Anyway I love my ultra
What? It is safe to dive 40m.... that's 120 feet.... as a surfer, I have to ask - what sort of surfing and dumping do you experience??? Most recreational divers I know don't go deeper than 40m..... surfing is supposed to be on the surface right? I recommend a leg rope if you are worried.
You cannot compare a smartwatch with a Rolex , Rolex are automatic watches that never needs a battery or charging, automatic watches are the best including Sieko and grand Sieko
I think it forms a nice display of the hour and minute hands. No overlap and you can clearly see the watch design. That’s why it’s used so much. If you google it, it’s recognized as 10:10 btw.
This video sounds like someone who purchased on apple monthly payments. Aside from appreciating the mechanicals, your Rolex is purely aesthetic. Very rarely does aesthetic come off as authentic.
I really don’t understand that😮 You just compared two completely different things together. Rolex or Omega or Patek Philippe are luxurious and old brand watches completely different from apple 😮 it’s just like comparing creed perfumes with nike sprays!!!
Sorry, but it’s a gimmick. I’m a massive Apple fanboy, but my submariner is the everything watch. Much more of a conversation starter than a ubiquitous faux mini limited functionality smartphone that will be obsolete in a few years. I’ve got Macs, iPads, etc etc but a mechanical watch will always be the watch for me.
Depends what your looking for. Luxury mechanical watches are basically jewellery with a single useful function whereas the Apple Watch can do infinitely more. Obviously it won’t last forever, tech never does but that’s also part of the reason a Submariner costs 10x
Oh and the service cost of a Rolex happens to be the exact same as a brand new Apple Watch Ultra. So buying a new Ultra every 5 years would end up the same cost (minus the $10,000 upfront for the Rolex)
Investment Wise Rolex Last Longer and the price keep on Rising In comparison to Apple watches technology wise and all aspects arise compare to rolex but last good enough till year or 2 then obsolete. If you have money to burn today and enjoy the techie side then buy Apple watches for Investment wise and classic look go for Rolex
2:31: too many scratches on the bezel around the watch. Is it advertised to be the most mighty rugged watch ever??😏 Beside, all tech vloggers are so excited to claim that they could live a day without Iphone, by using this watch which also humorously could do the same on Apple Watch S8... Men, sometimes hard to trust these tech reviewers since they are to fluffing!!
It is absolutely rugged, what’s the issue with scratches? They don’t break it. You can watch the video where someone hammers this watch THROUGH a table and it’s still okay. It’s insanely tough
My wrist is 17cm circumference for all those asking 🙌
Exactly like a child that never hit puberty.
That's not tiny...mine is 16cm, I wish it was 17cm so the Ultra would fit it better haha.
Great content!
It is the watch that is huge and suks. I've been asked to take it off while sleeping to avoid accidents with the spouse.
I seriously doubt that

Lies. It's HUGE.
First real world size comparison - what’s your wrist size?
17cm
Have a look at the Garmin Marq 2 series. This might be closer to you taste. It has that Rolex vibe but with a pack of sports features.
Nice video. Im your new subscriber
Outstanding, logical, thorough,and accurate review! Thank you very much!
Nice! What's you wrist's circumference?
17cm circumference.
I’m like you… have an iwc portgeuse and Aquatimer and I love the ultra. I wear it all the time now. Kind of thinking of selling off the Aquatimer now
Don’t be so quick! It might just be the honey moon stage. Wait a few months then re think about it
I think the ending put it succinctly. Analogue/digital watches as jewelry and a smart watch for utility
Ived watch seems like hundreds of review videos of tech gurus to for guidance on chosing this watch and wasn't sold. You made a great video
Mechanical watches are just things to show off these days. The watch that's actually on my wrist daily is a smartwatch. It actually gives me information I need (Meeting alerts, reminders, remote control for spotify, fitness, phone calls) I don't need to see moon phases, or perpetual calendars. - they are just mathematical/engineering marvels.

Every single person who purchases that watch does it from a first time perspective since there has never been an Apple Watch Ultra💀
i love your explanation sir,,,,,hats off..................................
What? It is safe to dive 40m.... that's 120 feet.... as a surfer, I have to ask - what sort of surfing and dumping do you experience??? Most recreational divers I know don't go deeper than 40m..... surfing is supposed to be on the surface right? I recommend a leg rope if you are worried.
Water impact is different to water depth. It's more dangerous for watches to have impact!
great review
I didn’t know surfers surf 100 meters under water.
what about the weight of the watch? does it feel like a small brick on your wrist at all time?
compared to other mechanical watches, its actually light. The Rolex is heavier, but it feels like o've got a good chunk of metal on my wrist.
I don’t even need to watch this video to know that the Ultra is better than any Rolex lmaoo
No
You cannot compare a smartwatch with a Rolex , Rolex are automatic watches that never needs a battery or charging, automatic watches are the best including Sieko and grand Sieko
Just amazing review and style of presentation. Subscribed.
Excellent review and presentation will be looking forward to other reviews especially on apple products!
Great review! what is the significance with watchhands going to 10:09 while adjusting face settings? is this a watch enthusiast’s inside joke?
Look at any watch advertising and you'll see that the hands majority of the time will point to that time.
I think it forms a nice display of the hour and minute hands. No overlap and you can clearly see the watch design. That’s why it’s used so much. If you google it, it’s recognized as 10:10 btw.
This video sounds like someone who purchased on apple monthly payments. Aside from appreciating the mechanicals, your Rolex is purely aesthetic. Very rarely does aesthetic come off as authentic.
It doesnt mean 40m water resistance! It’s a dive computer
I’ll give you 5 Apple Watch ultras and $500 plus two chewing gum for your Rolex all day!
Nice watch collection. Get the green Alpine loop if you like that style. Looks great irl.
im trading in the green loop. it retains water.
Quality content as per usual 👌
I really don’t understand that😮
You just compared two completely different things together. Rolex or Omega or Patek Philippe are luxurious and old brand watches completely different from apple 😮 it’s just like comparing creed perfumes with nike sprays!!!
SMDH Apple makes some very tasty JIM Jones flavored Kool-Aide. Better than my Rolex? WOW, jus WOOOOOOOOOW LOL
You are concerned by the 100 meter rating? You are a surfer'? You are aware that 100 meters is 328 feet, that's pretty deep.
Does it have a exercise bike user app?
And... you scratched the bezel... :D
Sorry, but it’s a gimmick. I’m a massive Apple fanboy, but my submariner is the everything watch. Much more of a conversation starter than a ubiquitous faux mini limited functionality smartphone that will be obsolete in a few years. I’ve got Macs, iPads, etc etc but a mechanical watch will always be the watch for me.
Depends what your looking for. Luxury mechanical watches are basically jewellery with a single useful function whereas the Apple Watch can do infinitely more. Obviously it won’t last forever, tech never does but that’s also part of the reason a Submariner costs 10x
Oh and the service cost of a Rolex happens to be the exact same as a brand new Apple Watch Ultra. So buying a new Ultra every 5 years would end up the same cost (minus the $10,000 upfront for the Rolex)
Investment Wise Rolex Last Longer and the price keep on Rising In comparison to Apple watches technology wise and all aspects arise compare to rolex but last good enough till year or 2 then obsolete. If you have money to burn today and enjoy the techie side then buy Apple watches for Investment wise and classic look go for Rolex
It is a tracking device
May I ask which size of the Alpine Loop did you order? Small or medium? Thank you
2:31: too many scratches on the bezel around the watch. Is it advertised to be the most mighty rugged watch ever??😏 Beside, all tech vloggers are so excited to claim that they could live a day without Iphone, by using this watch which also humorously could do the same on Apple Watch S8... Men, sometimes hard to trust these tech reviewers since they are to fluffing!!
It is absolutely rugged, what’s the issue with scratches? They don’t break it. You can watch the video where someone hammers this watch THROUGH a table and it’s still okay. It’s insanely tough
