My Apple Watch Ultra REPLACES my Iphone for 1 week

I used an Apple Watch ULTRA as a replacement to my iPhone. I documented the experience and filmed this video to show the pros and cons of using an Apple Watch ultra as your sole device.

    I just picked up the Ultra 2 with the same purpose, not having to carry my phone. It’s the best smart watch out there but it’s not a sports watch yet. My 5 year old Garmin Fenix 6X Sapphire still beats out the Ultra for sports, sleep tracking and battery life.

    Do I have to enable the cellular feature on the ultra? I know, "why get the ultra then?" I want to be able to use it later. But for now, since I don't want additional monthly fees on my cellular, plan, I want to be able to still use it sync'd to my phone without using cellular. I am guessing I can use it without cellular, just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

    Your house is really nice. I forgot that the watch doesn't have safari also, would be nice if it did. Apple views the Apple watch as an iPhone accessory and they have definitely held back on the processor and some things that are needed to make this stand alone to ensure you have an iPhone to do the proecssing.

    I keep my ultra in theater mode with the notifications turned on. I’m getting at least 3 days if not 4 out of it. Just tap the screen, rotate the crown or push the crown to turn the screen on to do what you need to do and it’s will turn off in a few seconds or you can cover the ultra with your palm to turn the screen back off. Always on screen looks cool but it’s not practical.

    Nah the buttons always are closest to the wrist on either hand, because as lefties, the watch lets us reverse the orientation and wear it upside down so the crown can be operated with our left hand where it won't go over the watch.

    Two thoughts: 1) If he didn’t like how his glo😊ve was continually being hit when wearing them, why not reverse the watch’s orientation so that he actually wears the watch with the crown and side button are on the left side of watch as he views the watch face. I have done this since Day One. It really saves a lot of frustration. Number Two Thought-Beginning with the latest WatchOS, you no longer have to say ‘Hey, Siri….’ Simply raise your arm while wearing your Apple Watch and talk to Siri. The second you do, the little Siri rotating globe or whatever it’s called will appear on your watch’s face. 😊
