Where's the strangest place you've taken your Apple Watch?

I’m taking it to Marrakesh in a few weeks… Hopefully “backtrack” will work or I may not make it home

When I went back across the pond (to Spain that is!), I finally splurged to the Ultra 2 coming from a Series 5. The Series 5 still worked well for the most part except for the aging battery. The larger battery on the Ultra 2 makes it a great watch to have on your wrist for long journeys where you won’t have it back on a charger for over a full day!

This is one those great examples of watching a Pro at work. What might have been a really dull video testing the Ultra's capabilities was part tour guide/part WatchOS10 rundown, film-buff location dropping, storytelling and more. Really, really clever way of structuring a tech video.

Thanks for the review Mark. I live in NYC in the Borough of the Bronx. The Bronx is the only borough with "The" in front of it and the only borough that is actually part of the continent. The other boroughs are islands. You touching video segment on John Lennon made me cry. I was old enough to hear them when I grew up and saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show. I am a big Beatles fan. I was amazed that although you were born two months after John was killed, you showed such emotion. Thank you for that. I am retired and do not make it to Manhattan much but your video got me home sick for Manhattan and I plan to make a trip soon. You put a lot of work into your videos and it is appreciated. Your videos are informative and fun to watch. FYI, I was stationed in England in RAF Lakenheath from 1980-1982 and loved how friendly people were to me. Hope to visit England again. Thanks again Mark.

Hi Mark. Were you using the ultra whilst connected to your iPhone or standalone? I’ve recently got an ultra and found whilst connected to my phone the burn rate of battery is around 33% per 24 hours - appreciate everyone will get varying mileage due to how they use their watches! 3 days usage from a single charge is clutch for me! Keep up the great work 😊

Regardless if they refresh or build upon Watch Ultra with new hardware this fall, it's safe to say that any Watch Ultra doesn't really come full circle with software until this next release. This is good because I just bought one. 🙃

Fun fact, Grand Central Station is not actually Grand Central Station. It's great Central terminal. It even says terminal outside on the door before you walk in written in stone a station is just a stop along the way but Garrett Grand Central terminal is a termination point for the trains it's the end of the line, I have no idea why in movies and TV shows they've missed sled people for years it's not Grand Central Station. It's Grand Central terminal.

Great video. Apple Watch seems leagues ahead of the Samsung Galaxy watch I actually own 😂. Samsung needs to really pull their socks up and really improve the Samsung Galaxy watch. To be fair, though, the Samsung Galaxy watch and the Apple Watch at two very different watches and with two very different ecosystems and OS. When I was watching your video, I was reflecting on what the Apple Watch offers. Ultimately, not everyone is going to use these features and functions to be fair.

I love how the opening shot when he takes the watch off its stand in the morning, it reads 95% battery. A few seconds later when starting out he says “battery at 100%”. 🤔

A garmin epix 2 is a far better and lower cost watch. My epix with all functions on lasts 3 days. Turn off the gps it lasts two weeks

I actually think the Ultra does amazingly well with the battery life; as you say - it runs all kinds of stuff and still manages to go for 2 days. keeping in mind how it charges to the max in just 1 hour, this whole battery talk is really not an issue. great vid!
