Mine is the notification as well Dion! Its always convenient to see whats pop up with ur mobile phone without even opening it out and just by looking at your wrist 😊 specially when youre on the road or doing something.
My favorite thing about the Apple Watch is the media player. Whether Spotify or Apple Music. I use to work at an office which prohibits phone usage so I use my watch to play a podcast or music. Super convenient
Apple ecosystem never disappoints. I bought Series 7 at Christmas 2 years ago as my first Apple Watch and I love it. Gonna stay with Series 7 until it dies.
@@the_styler1 It's pretty good actually cuz i'm charging it almost everyday, it has 95% battery health rn. Literally the same Apple watch as S8 with only 2 new features which are the crash detection and the temperature sensor. If it's in the same price range go for the S8. Otherwise if u don't need any of these go for S7.
@@smoke6434 my series 3 just died today while working for almost 6 years (since it came out). And I just ordered the series 8 (I was gonna get the series7 cause it’s basically the same thing but cheaper but I couldn’t find one) and I had 0 issues rocking it until it died. You should easily be able to do it and I’ll do the same
SE 2 workaround for Always On display: if you enable Wake on Crown Rotation, you can just toggle the crown to quickly peek at the clock. No need to spend more money on the S8, and no additional drain on the battery.
That’s not a workaround at all.. because then display is still not always on 😂 Also, raise to wake works so well, there is really no need to use your other hand.
I never realized how valuable an Apple Watch could be until I got a cellular Series 5 in December 2019. This was a game changer for me, I could go for walks or runs listening to music without carrying a heavy phone. I’m still using the same watch today, never felt the need to upgrade. It’s at 84 percent battery health, still enough for me.
I agree the Apple Watch cellular is a valuable device. I started with the Series 3 before the screen got smashed. Then i had the Series 5. Now i have the Ultra. It’s definitely a game changer with the GPS + Cellular models. I mountain bike. I take my iPhone with me on my rides, i put it in a handy holster.
As someone who had no idea what the apple watch is useful for, after watching 10mn of your video I still have none. You’re pointing out differences, the title is misleading
It’s not useful at all as if you are running or need an actual sports watch, you are better served with a Garmin. If you only need the health monitoring, Whoop. Notifications on your wrist is useless when the phone is right there! 😂😂😂 At least the Apple TV has a nice remote. The Apple watch is most likely the most useless Apple product.
Got mine couple of days back. I don't get out much right now due to a number of issues but outside of fitness there is still so much utility and convenience that I never would have thought of. Then of course, when my situation improves and I am able to get out more the utility will only increase.
Never knew I would like an Apple Watch this much. Mainly bought it for fitness purposes but I do like it for my everyday life aswell. The only thing I dislike is the lack of an always-on display because I went with the SE…
For the past 2 years that I have been using an apple watch, series 3 to be exact, I appeeciate how it keep tracks of my heartbeat since I am pre hypertensive. It is also beneficial in checking the calories I burn when I exercise. Although, the touchscreen is not functioning anymore but thanks to siri, I could still access to the different apps. Apple watch to me is a lifesaver.
@dvirfish3r Notifications are in my opinion the 1# reason to get an apple watch it doesn’t distract you like a notification from an iphone and how it seamlessly taps you on the wrist without making any noise really is the best way to be notified about things
Hola Dion! Thank you for another great video! Loving my 40mm SE 2 with cellular. Went out skiing with it my bluetooth headphones and the snoww activity tracking app on and the battery did quite good even without any of the low power mode features activated. Be well!
Very detailed video as always. I never owned any apple products but was very useful watching this video for future purposes. The Longvadon wristbands definitely a cop as the different colors basically set your look how or a switch up ❤.
im looking for an apple watch, its been my first year since using an iPhone, I was already using a macbook and ipad, and yes Ive become such an apple fanboy, but things just work so well together and I get so much use out of them, I was using my previous android watch, wich was a Huawei honor band, and for what it was, it worked great, battery lasted like a whole week, I would get my notifications, use an alarm to wake me up everyday for work, I would see how many hrs I would sleep, but just last week I lost it on a family trip, so now its kinda of an excuse to try an apple watch, im just trying to figure out wich one, and this helped a lot im gonna spend the extra money and get an 8
Ive been using the regular apple watches for a while now. I really wanted to test out something different so I went with the SE 2nd gen.Tbh there nothing much of a difference I can notice except the display and absence of EKG functions. A budget watch with an S8 chip is really a good option for users who are not really into all the H -tech stuff the ultra or AW8 offers.
The Apple Watch is pretty much the main reason I'm sticking with Apple in general. I recently tried Samsung Watch5 because I wanted to switch to Samsung. Went back to Apple in like 3 months.
@@Ruffyx I also switched from Gear S3 to Apple Watch 6 a few years ago when I switched from Samsung to Apple. If you already like the iPhone, you will love the watch. I recommend getting the SE if you want to save money, but if you have the budget, go for the Ultra.
The SE II is my current watch, and it it’s perfect for my needs and my then-budget. Next one I get will have Always On Display but since I sleep with my watch, can it be dimmed? As always, thank you for the helpful video and for speaking properly. It’s nice to listen to an articulate speaker!
Thanks for the compliment. and yes, you can dim the light. How to Adjust brightness and text on Apple Watch? Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, then tap Display & Brightness to adjust the following: Brightness: Tap the Brightness controls to adjust, or tap the slider, then turn the Digital Crown. Text size: Tap Text Size, then tap the letters or turn the Digital Crown.
Yeah that's all great but having to charge it almost every day is a serious deal breaker considering there's other awesome smartwatches out there with 6-10 day battery life.
I’m not really a watch wearer kind of guy, but I’ve been thinking about getting an Apple Watch for a while because I exercised quite a bit, just cannot decide which one to get, after watching still cant decide.. lol.. I guess I’ll just keep watching UA-cam videos reviews until something pops in my head. Thanks for the video.. 😊
I love watching your videos even tho I'm a samsung user and heavily into the samsung ecosystem. but your videos do inform me about apple and all their features and ecosystem. Keep up the great work
as for me I find apple watch to be useful in tracking how healthy I am. I felt bad if a whole week was spent without seeing the green ring being closed (activity/training ring). the workout route tracking are also cool to see your whole walk/running performance. it shows route you’re taking and pace you had, where you speed up, where you slow down, and average per km pace. I was injured and as I healed my hip my average per km pace got noticably better. heart rate tracking and notification are also great, no need to see your phone for notif, only lift your wrist and only pickup the phone for urgent notification.
@tematotherescue Honestly the sole fact that Watch is the only wearable to not mess up with phone notifications is enough of a reason to get one. And the second biggest reason for me personally is the fact that last couple of Watch generations are basically the most accurate smartwatch to track the heart rate. You can even manage to accurately track your calories based on that, with some trickery and adjustment.
I love the Apple Watch and i love my Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I’ve always wore a watch on my wrist to and me having a watch that can do more than tell time is awesome
imo the BIGGEST game changer is the always on display. i had an android watch from around 2016 and it had a terrible battery life cause i kept waking it up to check the time.
I have the ultra now and with the better battery i now sleep in it, the sleep focus is a bit glitchy as i was getting alerts overnight even with focus on…
@bjrmanucduc I've been a Samsung user for decades but I've been considering switching to Apple and getting the 14 Pro for my next phone. I was a bit hesitant to get an Apple Watch too but your breakdown is so clear and convincing. When I get a chance on the Series 8, it'll be because of you!
@@DionMedia Oh definitely! I also currently have a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro so I'll make sure to note the differences and my experience using both 🙂 thanks Dion!
I got my first ever Apple Watch, Ulta 2. I love it. I got a black case but it doesn’t look as aesthetic and neat with it. So I ordered a transparent one; hopefully that looks better. I want to secure the neat look for many years to come.
@@Mascha_Eleonora Honestly out of curiosity, Garmin makes great watches but after having a few I begun to see them all the same. After a couple of weeks using Apple Watch, I miss my Garmin for workouts but realized that before I only used my Garmin for running and notifications. Apple Watch has a lot more funcionality (like unlocking my iphone and mac, or integrating with my Focus modes) that I am getting a lot more out of it. I actually only miss my Garmin during Series work outs.
I tired switching the galaxy watch for a whole week and I ended up going back to my apple watch. talking to it rather than pulling my phone out is a lot better because it actually works. Apple pay works faster than samsung pay on a watch and typing using swipe is great to use but i use text to speech so it gets my messages out correctly. Only thing I do have an issue and it's just me knit picking is I wish you could have custom notifications tones or ringtones, also I wish that you could use watch speaker to play music instead of having your watch play music through your phone. The coolest feature that I enjoy the most especially when I'm at work or out and about is the walkie talkie feature. Yeah the speaker is a little low when your in a crowd but using it when you don't want to send a text is awesome to use. I hope the next generation apple watch will have a little louder speaker for when yoiur outdoors.
The weirdest notification that sounds like keys jingling on my wrist is when my watch unlocks my MacBook. It literally feels and sounds like someone is jingling keys on my wrist.
Thanks for the interesting post, Dion! We live in a wonderfully diverse time, where so many pros and cons can be adapted to the individual needs. I really LOVE the taptic engine and the sleep tracking on the Apple watch. This is counterbalanced by the abysmal battery life and that I basically hate the touchscreen input mostly being the only way of interaction with the watch. Using any Apple watch for sports is really tedious, as you cannot simply glance at the watch to check the progress, as the watch will go into screensaver mode while tracking. My solution is to go through your list, rate the feature for my needs and then check available smart watches for the best sweet spot. My current result is wearing a Garmin Fenix 7. It can be operated completely via buttons, has a 14+days battery life and I will live with the mediocre vibration motor and the subpar sleep tracking.
Nothing that the apple watch offers makes up for having that level of electromagnetic and rf radiation pressed against your body all day. They need to figure out an internal faraday cage or something to limit the amount of radiation pouring out of these things.
I wanna buy my gf a series 8 but not sure if i should buy the gps+cellular one or if i need to select her exact phone carrier? Can she add her service to the watch regardless if i get her the gps+cellular option?
just got the apple watch ultra. im just a guy who buys the best there is rn and hold on for it untill it breaks and do it again. I have been loving that thing battery life is like they claimed around 36 hours
Thanks for the video! I was searching a general apple watch video which include the series 8 for all the functions, every other reviewer only talked about the new features not the old ones
@loganmickyd The apple watch is pretty huge for fitness conveniences. Monitoring my heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and having a mapped history of my runs have been fun additional metrics to keep track of. Additionally with the 41mm size, the slimmer profile and smaller wrist footprint have made it very comfortable to wear for weight lifting. With my previous 42mm series 3, I'd get a lot of rubbing against my hand due to the wider watch shape, but this new size really hasn't had any comfort issues at all.
@liightland i was really considering getting an apple watch for myself after seeing a great discount on an online store but i it made me think that if i really needed it which the answer to that was no. i think i’ll stick to watching you review products hahahaa
@firerains I've never used an Apple watch, and I don't like watches in general lol I don't really see a point to them having my phone always around to text, answer calls, and see the time. But that ultra looked really nice

I've never used an Apple watch, and I don't like watches in general lol I don't really see a point to them having my phone always around to text, answer calls, and see the time. But that ultra looked really nice
It does:)
