The only downside to this comparison was your statement on the stainless steel variants being "...for the looks..." - the Stainless Steel has the added benefit of being a Sapphire Crystal display instead of the regular glass of the Aluminium watches. You get the polished looks, but the glass is SO much more durable it's def. worth mentioning. I had a Series 5 SS and it was incredibly scratch resistent.

Great comparison video! It's worth noting that on the AW Ultra, only the Ultra-tailored watch faces, Wayfinder and Modular Ultra, have the night-mode feature (as far as I can tell!). Otherwise, great video! I love my AW Ultra 2, gamechanger for someone who's never had an Apple Watch. :)

Thanks man! Ah yep, good point on the night-mode faces. Is it your first one? Loving mine!

If I currently have a Series 8, is it worth the upgrade to the Ultra 2? I want something more rugged and something that can handle more outdoor activities.

I upgraded from the series 6 to the ultra watch 2 and love it!

This is exactly the video I needed. I would also like to point out how handy that little bar within each section of the video was for my attention span. Neat style choice.

While comparing SE and Series 9, you keep showing the image of Ultra 2. It's a bit confusing...

This video was just what I needed to hear, thanks

Any opinions on audio recording capabilities across all of the models? I’m a stand-up comedian and I anticipate wearing and using the smart watch every night when I perform having it record between 5 to 15 minutes per night. I would appreciate any input, thank you!

This was such a helpful review for me! I feel the need to upgrade for the health features on the 9 but was hoping to use LTE and leave my phone at home on a regular basis for productivity. Your review re battery life on LTE has just saved me a lot of money!

Got ultra 1 this year and … blimey, the visual difference in comparison to my old black series 8 is huge. It looks like a watch, not a … toy, but that might be because I have always liked bigger, slightly rugged silver watches, which is a bit of shocker considering I have a 13 mini and no plans to change it until software supports tun out.

So I play competitive football ⚽️ and I like to wear a watch while we are training. Which one would you recommend? SE or series 9?

@CoolTwinzz

21 күн бұрын

Me personally I would recommend the Series 9 because unlike the SE, it has way more health features than just the heart tracking. If you’re on a budget and you want all the health features that the Series 9 has, just get a Galaxy Watch. It’s way cheaper and they are extremely underrated.

Great, in-depth video. I have Apple watch 7 41 mm and it's comfortable for me.

In Canada some life insurance companies provide Apple Watch incentives and rebates. Employee's in the Public and Private sector can write them off as a business expense in some situations. I work for an American company and claimed mine as a safety device for working on ladders in remote areas. There's all kinds of programs to get them at a hefty discount, you just have to explore corporate HR policies.

What would you recommend for me for my mainly fitness purpose with small hands but broad wrist? Thanks

Until I can FaceTime on one of these I’ll stick with my SE2 😅

Really wish the Ultra came in more colours. Probably gonna go from my Series 5 SS Gold to the 9.

Assuming you’re speaking of the Ultra 2 as you showed the 3k nits which the first version cannot do, the depth is not 40 meters. It is 100 meters. Not even the Series 9 is 40 meters.

Switched from pixel to iPhone 15pro recently. My old Amazfit bip2 still works with it. It shows time, weather, notifications, the eink is always on and battery still lasts 45 days. Maybe i need to try, but i don’t see any feature of any Apple Watch that would be better than 45 days battery, sometimes even longer.

Which metal band is that on your Ultra?

Being American my mind IS blown, vitality is a great idea 🔥

I’ve owned the 45mm Series 7 in stainless steel, gold finish, until recently for maybe a year and a half. I was perfectly happy with it and could’ve kept it for another while but I upgraded anyway because of the quite tempting price of the first generation Ultra on Amazon. First I wasn’t sure if that’s going to be the right decision since it’s lacking some new specs, but then my thought process was as follows: The Ultra is still going to be one generation ahead of my previous watch, it’s still going to feel like an upgrade going from 45mm to Ultra (especially battery, different design and the screen may not be quite as bright as Ultra 2 but brighter than Series 7 plus new exclusive watch faces) and thankfully the cheapest option on Amazon came with a band I could live with at a great price point (original price 999€, Amazon price with Alpine Loop size M was 704€). I couldn’t justify paying almost 200€ more for just a few features in a watch that looks exactly the same as the one I ended up getting.

UPDATE - SE2 also comes in more colour variants now and product red, comes in the stainless steel and multiple other strap options. Also feel like the first part of the video about SE2 was more about why you should get a series 9 lol

This will be my first smart watch lol I’m going with the ultra lol

@siddu7549

20 күн бұрын

Could you please tell me why? I am confused as to which one to buy ?

There is an alternative option that wasn't put in this video.. buying one of the older watches. The Apple Watch's CPU hasn't been upgraded since the Series 6, It has had the same battery capacity since the very beginning at 295mah, the Series 7 for example might have an S7 instead of an S8 chip, but they run practically the same and the Series 7 will give you more features than the SE and would cost less second hand than a brand new SE. It also has the fast charging that the Series 9 has and the SE lacks, which I think you really underplayed by saying it's slightly slower. It can charge to 100% in just over 1 hour, it takes nearly 2 hours for the SE to reach 100%. New isn't always best.

I'm thinking of getting an apple watch again and an ipad. I am sticking with apple. I have my iphone 13 and wanna have a tablet, computer, watch. The computer is a future purchase cause I don't have 1200 dollars lol

In my opinion you also glanced over the wear and tear over the years where the cheaper S9 can be greatly scratched and chipped in a years time. The more expensive S9 not as much and the U2 protects the glass even more. Going on from the idea to atleast use the device for 5-7 years I think it’s worth the price? But please change my mind

@JoeNokers

6 ай бұрын

It really depends, because if you get the base one, and it gets beat up and damaged, you can literally buy a new watch with the money you saved by not getting the stainless steel. Double the price is only really worth it if you get way more than double the life, otherewise you could get the cheaper one with a refresh half way.

The dealbreaker for me is the keyboard on the s9 😭

I love my apple watch se 2. I will keep it until it dies

Choosing the right Apple Watch depends on several factors including your budget, the features you need, and your personal style preferences. Here’s a brief overview to help you decide: 1. Apple Watch Series 7: Offers a larger, more durable display and faster charging. Ideal if you want the latest tech and don’t mind spending more. 2. Apple Watch SE: A more affordable option with many of the core features of the higher-end models. Great for those who want a balance between functionality and price. 3. Apple Watch Series 3: The most budget-friendly option, but lacks some of the newer features and design improvements. Suitable for basic use. Consider these factors: • Budget: Decide how much you’re willing to spend. • Usage: Think about how you’ll use the watch (fitness tracking, health monitoring, connectivity, etc.). • Compatibility: Ensure the watch is compatible with your iPhone model. • Design and Size: Choose a design and size that fits your wrist and style preferences. • Health Features: If you’re interested in health tracking, consider models with more advanced health features like ECG and blood oxygen monitoring. Remember, newer models generally offer more features and better performance but come at a higher cost. It’s a balance between what you need, what you want, and what you’re willing to spend.
