Apple Watch Ultra Review:

What’s up everybody Rusty here at apple park at the visitor center just outside of steve jobs theater where we’re able to get our hands on i got a touch feel smell and taste the new apple watch ultra.

Did anyone call it that it would be called the ultra i don’t think so but this thing i almost felt like i was going to hear them call it apple watch extreme because it is made for people that really take it to the limits of your timeout outdoor activities your time out hiking we’re talking about mountain climbing even scuba diving this thing can do it all and you know when i think about the apple watch ultra off the top of my head it’s it is appealing to really a niche group but i think general consumers who just want a larger 49 millimeter screen with a 2000 it’s a brightness right really bright a general consumer who wants more battery life this thing comes with 36 hours of battery life with low power mode and a software update coming soon it’ll be able to support up to 60 hours of juice i think those two factors alone make me really interested.

As a consumer of saying you know what i might just give this a go whether or not i choose to go scuba diving whether or not
i choose to go to hike i think this thing is a it’s special for the audience that cares about it i don’t think it’s going to sell you know bonkers but i think it’s really unique you know they put it through all these different tasks there’s this cool demo of oceanic plus a new app where it’s basically like a diving computer system on your wrist.

so how is this going to be for someone who really wants to take it let’s say scuba diving well they talked about it 40 meters deep 130 feet this is for like recreational scuba divers but then it has all different types of certification is wr 100 for twice the water resistance with a new depth app that detects it when it’s submerged and then en 13319.

Do you think i really know what that is but this is the international standard for dives for dive computers and this is built into the apple watch so i’m telling you all you divers you’re gonna love this thing my my brother-in-law he’s gonna love this thing but also you have these three different types of wristbands you have the alpine loop and this is kind of like a nylon textured with a titanium little hook you slip it in it i tried putting it on you know first timer maybe you have to get used to it but that was one you have the trailhead loop this is kind of a the thinnest i would say active user loop that you can have and these are made for obviously the apple watch ultra.

But apple watch ultra will still support previous watch bands and then you have the oceanic loop it’s kind of made of this durable rubber i’m not and i don’t want to say like feels like a life vest or lipo it’s the ocean loop it’s the ocean loop so i got to try those on but in hand surprisingly this is made of titanium it’s lighter in hand and if you look really carefully you’re going to see i’m going to show you this detail there’s like a line under the flat edge of the screen and that’s actually the antenna integrated into the design of the watch face for the apple watch ultra pretty cool now we also have to talk about should we call it the ultra bulge.

That’s not the official name i’m going to call it that because it kind of protrudes they’ve specifically called out if you’re an adventurer and you’re wearing gloves you have it’s a little easier to press that button on the right side you have that action button on the side so it can either launch workouts track parts of your workout kind of like set different parameters in you can customize the the way that you want it some other unique features that it has a decibel siren that reaches out to 600 feet or 180 meters this is built in you have those two speakers this is going to allow it to kind of create and generate loud noise if you’re in a situation that you need help that’s what it’s going to do i think consumers who want a bigger screen a brighter screen right 49 millimeters and yes the longer battery life .

This is who it’s going to really appeal to we also can’t forget the big health feature body temperature and what i thought was interesting is this is really catering to kind of bring the apple watch up to speed and just give women more health benefits so tracking your ovulation cycle obviously that’s not something that i have to think about and to integrate that seamlessly into this apple watch i think it’s going to make it even more popular and then you have crash detection.

Here a new three axis gyroscope a new accel accelerometer samples your movement three times per second and again we don’t want you to have to use this but it is there right the the apple watch really showcased how it’s changed people’s lives how it saved people’s lives so there you go a bigger battery crash detection body temperature basically a diving computer on your wrist bigger screen brighter screen this is nice so 7.99 available to order.

Today it will start being available to you september 23rd but there you go my first hands-on kind of first initial impressions of the apple watch ultra and it may look bigger than you think on camera but this thing’s also ultra light.
