Guys.
What is going on is mike welcome back to the channel.
We are going to unbox the new Apple Watch Ultra.
So let's get right into it.
The Apple Watch Ultra offers a longer battery life.
That's pretty.
The thing that I'm most excited to see and test out.
Oh, wow, look at that.
So my Apple Watch, they purchased obviously 14
millimeter because the all our titanium case because they all
are but I have the orange alpine band because I love
orange I just going everywhere.
But let's open this up now.
It does feature the same pull tabs as it did last year and.
Okay, what is this?
Oh, it's like some kind of mountain range.
This looks really cool.
So you have this book here.
Looks like a quick start guide.
Oh, it's actually showing off the different products.
So the different configurations.
Alpine Band, Ocean Band and Trail Band.
Very cool.
It tells you what all the different buttons do.
This is neat.
And then how the orange action button.
So I think this will be neat because it's the first year
that they are you know, they have the Apple Watch ultra
and I can't my box from the very first Apple Watch in 2015
so that is something that I keep and I'd like to keep
this as well.
I'm kind of a collector in that kind of nerdy aspect.
So let's open up the watch first.
That makes the most sense.
We'll have to
look it over
here.
We have a package designed by Apple in California.
I'm almost sure the guarantee that these coordinates
are for Cupertino.
That would be interesting.
Oh, nice.
This is a braided Apple Watch charger.
Wow.
This is quite a big.
Very nice.
Check it out.
Now, if we look at this.
Back.
Well, it's like a nice color.
It's like it's almost like that gray color you see on a lot of
sports cars nowadays.
That is neat.
Okay, well, let's open up the band and we're going
to pair this.
What's interesting about the watch bands is that they're now
like a different shape.
So this is obviously a rectangle shape where a very
big rectangle where the Apple Watch bands are are very a
narrow rectangle or a skinny rectangle.
We're going to pull that open.
It's such a great zone.
And
so they give you instructions how to put this on.
Now, I love the sports loop.
I have the red sports app.
I probably have about 15 bands myself and I like the way, Oh,
this is so cool.
Oh my God, I love the way this looks in orange.
So I'm a big fan of the sports band.
Not so much of the the floral ASMR sports band, but the
sports loops are the sports of Wow, look how big
these looks are.
Okay, so let's put this bad boy on.
Oh, that's high quality.
It's said that you're able to reuse the watch bands that you
have from the 42 or the 45, 41 of the 45, which be great
because again, I have a ton of different watch bands
if you just look at those kind of side by side.
So this is the Apple Watch Series seven.
This is obviously the Apple Watch ultra.
I don't know.
It it seems significantly bigger even though
it's just four.
Mm.
Oh.
All right, so let's set this up.
I want to put it on my wrist.
My wrist sizes.
Just like in between.
It's kind of hard.
Oh, maybe this will be the better.
That fits pretty good.
Okay.
I am very surprised that apple prices at 799, I thought they
were going to be more expensive.
But it's surprising that they're not set up this new
Apple Watch myself.
And we are setting it up right now.
All right.
So we're sitting in watches for myself and my up to watch
as we continue.
It's so exciting.
Terms conditions gri.
All right.
Passcode optimize charge limit.
Okay.
So first you says optimize charge limit.
If you see an open charging Apple Watch charge to
an optimize limit.
Limit adapts the daily usage of your and preserves your battery
lifespan over time.
You can manage this in battery settings on your apple watch
eat safety emergency S.O.S. Mode Fall Detection,
Crash detection siren and backtrack.
So they're set up.
We're going to do my primary line.
Actually, I want to cancel that.
We're not now.
I have a cellular plan with my Apple Watch that I have here.
I never use it, and I don't think it's really worth
the money, to be honest.
But if you have one and you get a lot of usage out of it,
I'd love to know because I don't find
it particularly helpful.
I always have my phone with me.
Maybe that will change now that I have this Alpine edition,
Apple Watch or macOS scaling the side of a mountain or how
could you take all underwater?
That would be pretty nother if the screen would be
locked.
Right.
The screen would be locked, though.
We should test that.
Can I answer a collar?
My apple watch while I'm swimming in the pool.
That's a good idea.
Action button.
So the action button says we can set up the action button
here for workout.
Stopwatch, waypoint, backtrack, dive, flashlight.
Okay, I'm going to do workout cause I like to workout,
though.
I don't get to do it very often.
Grid view.
Yep.
All right, now we're pairing.
Let's get to know my Apple Watch.
This is all the basic stuff.
This is the stuff.
It's the same it's not specific to the Apple Watch.
Okay.
Well, let's.
Well, that paired very quickly.
It seems like it normally takes a little bit longer than that.
Okay.
Well, it's actually done that quickly.
That is crazy.
Well, it's weird that this is flush now.
That the crown is flush.
Feels strange.
Wow.
That looks really nice.
A big display.
I would say that if you're getting this, most people,
I would think hold or interact with their Apple Watch by
putting their thumb on the bottom left hand product in
their finger on the top left or the top right hand
of the casing.
Well, if you do that and you're not really watching,
you probably can hit the action button.
So that might change.
Well, that's interesting.
So the lugs on a 44 band are the exact same length
as another band.
And what's interesting, the watch band is not
necessarily significantly thinner or narrower than
the other one.
I thought that would be the case, too.
I thought you'd have a thicker band.
All right, guys.
It's been 72.
Hours since I filmed the Unboxing.
It's now Monday evening at 7 p.m.
, and I want to follow up with you on three things.
One, battery.
Life, two, usability, and three, sleep tracking.
So first and foremost, let's talk.
About battery life now.
I took it off the charger on Friday evening, around 3:00 in
the afternoon, and that led me all the way through.
Friday.
Evening, Saturday all the way through Sunday,
up until 6 p.m.
Sunday evening, which is kind of amazing.
I had one workout and there was about 45 minutes.
It was not necessarily an outdoor workout.
I was using GPS, but still that was a lot of battery life and I
didn't expect to get that.
So over 48 hours worth of battery life.
So if you are looking for an Apple Watch that has tremendous
battery life, the Apple Watch Ultra is the clear winner.
Second thing is going to be usability.
Now, I think that there are some UI elements that are not
necessarily appropriately scaled,
whether you're using the Apple Watch Ultra or even Apple
Watch Series seven.
Some of the UI elements look smaller than they are.
They look the same size on both devices, even though
there's a screen size difference.
And this reminds me of the problem that we have with the
iPad mini, the iPhone the iPhone mini, where the widgets
are the same size as they are on both devices.
And then when there's bigger screen sizes, it may be
something that bothers you, maybe something that kind of
prohibits you or prevents you from using
the device appropriately.
But some of those UI elements do not really scale
appropriately in terms of complications.
Now, I do see that there are some developers that are really
taking advantage of it.
One that comes to mind is water minder at the water tracking
app that I use for my bill watching my iPhone and then
carrot weather, which is also doing a very good job of it.
Now, the third thing is sleep tracking.
I've been using this Apple Watch for sleep tracking.
My plan was to use my Apple Watch Series seven.
But I want to use this watch because I don't want
to change watches.
And the only thing I can tell you is that I'm able to sleep
like I normally do.
This isn't like some big brick laying on my wrist.
I don't have trouble finding sleep.
I've always been able to wear something on my wrist since I
started wearing the Apple Watch.
And always but I've always been able to wear something on my
wrist since wearing an Apple Watch.
So I don't have trouble with this.
It's not any, you know, does it impede me from, you know,
going to sleep or having trouble ?
The only thing I could say is that in the morning
time where, you know, it starts waking you up, the screen
starts getting brighter.
That's why I think I wish Apple would change.
But that has nothing to do with this watch specifically.
So let me know any questions you have down in
the comments below.
I do plan on sharing more my thoughts on the Apple Watch.
Also kind of more in a casual format like we have here.
But also I'm doing so on Twitter, so if you want to
find out more there.
Follow me on Twitter at Caputo.
My name is Mike.
I'll talk to you the next one.
