1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,400 I am the one person in the Linus Media Group building 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,160 who has been using this, the Apple Watch Ultra One, 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,840 for the last year. So the ShortCircuit team thought that I might be 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,160 a good person to do an unboxing over here 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,360 and let y'all know what we think of it. I actually saw on Twitter a few days ago, 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,160 Snazzy, shout out Quinn, was saying that the Watch Ultra Two 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,520 is the most premium unboxing experience that Apple has right now. 8 00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:36,220 I'm excited to see what's in store. Obviously, we have our watch charging cable here 9 00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:40,300 and the watch right over here as well. We'll get into that in a moment. 10 00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:46,440 It also comes obviously with the loop. This one is the Hook and Loop Closure Trail Loop. 11 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,820 They have the Alpine Loop as well and an Ocean Loop. 12 00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:52,940 I actually use the Alpine on my Apple Watch Ultra One. 13 00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:56,400 Really like that. It's broken in nicely, super comfy for day to day use 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,420 and I do like the olive green that they have on there. 15 00:00:59,420 --> 00:01:05,600 So let's see what the differences are between the Alpine and the Trail. 16 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,400 So this is the Trail Loop. Just super simple Velcro Hook and Loop style. 17 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,480 It does look like this one's a medium slash large. 18 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,840 So it should be good for any variety of wrist sizes. 19 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,800 I use the large on the Alpine so this one should be perfectly fine. 20 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:29,040 And boom, right on there. So yeah, having tried the Alpine band with the one 21 00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:32,540 and the Trail band now with the two. I definitely prefer the Alpine band. 22 00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:38,340 I feel like it gives you a little bit more flexibility but if you're somebody who is an ultra marathon runner 23 00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:43,700 or somebody who's out running trails every day and you need your watch to be securely attached to your wrist 24 00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:46,820 I assume the Trail band is gonna work just as well for you there as well. 25 00:01:46,820 --> 00:01:51,820 Obviously when it comes to Apple you're always looking for a premium on books and experience. 26 00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:55,180 So they of course include some fun marketing materials 27 00:01:55,180 --> 00:02:00,560 just in case your friends are over and they wanna look at which ultra band they want. 28 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,720 Looks like it has a Boutier. Wow, three microphone, array, crown guard, GPS, action button. 29 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,520 It's international orange. Wow, they've chosen international orange 30 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,760 for the visibility of the button but if you're looking at the button 31 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,520 doesn't that sort of defeat the whole purpose of the button being convenient? 32 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,240 Wow, yep, this is a marketing booklet in your $1,000 watch that you just bought. 33 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,740 I love it. So one of the small differences between the Ultra One 34 00:02:30,740 --> 00:02:37,140 and the Ultra Two is the weight. So let's take out our handy dandy scale 35 00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:43,380 and see what we see. First up our watch Ultra One comes in at 62 grams 36 00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:49,500 and our watch Ultra Two comes in at 62 grams. 37 00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:55,100 We're rounding up for whatever reason on this scale apparently the watch Ultra One is 61.3 grams 38 00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:58,980 the watch Ultra Two is 61.4 grams but if you're somebody who can tell that difference 39 00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:03,180 on your wrist then I probably owe you dinner. Just to get through a full suite of accessories 40 00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:06,500 in the box here we have the charging cable. 41 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:10,760 Frankly in 2023 if you don't have one of the multi-device wireless chargers at your bedside 42 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,660 I don't know what you're doing. I have the three piece one for the iPhone, AirPods 43 00:03:14,660 --> 00:03:18,220 and watch works awesome, love it. But if you're not one of the people that has that 44 00:03:18,220 --> 00:03:21,460 you have a sufficiently large charging cable. 45 00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:27,380 Look at that, that looks about what like yeah two and a half feet, three feet, something like that. 46 00:03:27,380 --> 00:03:33,140 If you need it, it's there, it's nicely braided. I think it's exactly the same one that was in the Ultra One. 47 00:03:33,140 --> 00:03:39,500 Doing a quick little side by side there. Wow, basically the same, both are 49 millimeters 48 00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:42,820 both have the same display size and resolution 49 00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:47,420 but the watch Ultra Two actually has 50% more brightness. 50 00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:51,260 So the watch Ultra One is 2,000 nits, watch Ultra Two is 3,000 nits. 51 00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:56,740 All right, so if you've ever paired a watch before this should look pretty standard for an Apple user 52 00:03:56,740 --> 00:04:03,340 set up for myself. And then we just do the fun dot exercise here. 53 00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:09,380 And it's paired, it just works. 54 00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:14,620 Hi, I'm Siri, choose the voice you'd like me to. Hi, I'm Siri, choose the voice. 55 00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:17,700 Hi, I'm Siri, choose the voice you'd like me to use. 56 00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,700 None of those are great to be honest with you but we're going voice for. 57 00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:25,420 So, oh yeah, so this is one of the fun things about the Apple Watch Ultra, both one and two, 58 00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:28,620 you get your action button. So you can have it set up for your workouts, 59 00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:32,420 stopwatch, waypoint, backtrack, I don't even know what that is. 60 00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:37,700 Oh, cool, so backtrack is the feature where you can basically track where you've parked 61 00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:41,180 or where you came from or wherever else. You know, if you're somebody who like me 62 00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:46,220 gets lost in parking garages sometimes, this is actually quite helpful. You can have it set up for dive if you're a diver 63 00:04:46,220 --> 00:04:50,980 and flashlight, I think we'll leave it on flashlight. For me, it might surprise you 64 00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:54,340 but I have it set up for the workout option on my side. 65 00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:59,540 Super convenient, just hit that one button, boom, select. 66 00:04:59,540 --> 00:05:03,380 Does it really meaningfully change your life? No, absolutely not. 67 00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:08,140 But is it a cool little fun party trick? Yeah, it is, if you spent $1,500 on the watch, 68 00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:12,860 you'll want to use it, it's all good. Welcome to Apple Watch, wow, thank you. 69 00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:16,020 So since it's one of the new advertised features and we just set it up in the action button, 70 00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:18,100 let's try the flashlight. 71 00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:24,420 Boom, flash bang. One of the big advertised features on the Watch Ultra 2 72 00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:29,060 is flashlight boost. Since it has a 3000 nit display, 73 00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:32,860 you can now get a little bit more out of the flashlight. The first thing that I did when I opened up 74 00:05:32,860 --> 00:05:37,300 the flashlight app on my Watch Ultra 1 was to try to adjust the crown to adjust the brightness 75 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:40,660 so this makes sense. So just for a quick brightness comparison, 76 00:05:40,660 --> 00:05:46,980 we'll throw the flashlights on on both. It's tough to see here, the Watch 2 is, you know, 77 00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:52,220 it is significantly brighter. Is it gonna be the difference between seeing something 78 00:05:52,220 --> 00:05:57,860 if you're on a totally dark trail and not seeing it? I think it'll be fine with 2000 nits, but is it brighter? 79 00:05:57,860 --> 00:06:01,460 Yes, it is brighter. Another one of the advertised features for this device 80 00:06:01,460 --> 00:06:04,900 was Siri on device for offline increase. 81 00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:08,460 So turn in off the Wi-Fi and then, 82 00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:12,180 what do we do, Siri, right? Hey, where's the closest Burger King? 83 00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:17,100 There we go. It is GPS enabled, so if you're somebody 84 00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:20,980 who goes off the grid or whatever, you'll still have access to all your GPS data. 85 00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:24,420 So I would imagine that's how they're pulling in information about where something is 86 00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:27,580 when you're in offline Siri mode, pretty cool. 87 00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:30,660 So one of the other big things they talked about 88 00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:34,100 with the new watch was the four core neural engine. 89 00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:41,580 So we'll just do a quick little Siri side-by-side here of dictation between Watch Ultra 1 and Watch Ultra 2. 90 00:06:41,580 --> 00:06:43,780 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 91 00:06:44,740 --> 00:06:45,860 Here's what I found. 92 00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:52,820 There's the other one back on line. Here's what I found. 93 00:06:52,820 --> 00:06:56,580 I'm a bit confused because the Watch Ultra 2 94 00:06:56,580 --> 00:07:01,740 appears to be quite a bit slower in actual dictation than my Watch Ultra 1. 95 00:07:01,740 --> 00:07:04,980 So it's possible that Siri's just always listening to me 96 00:07:04,980 --> 00:07:08,860 and knows my voice at this point, even though I never try to talk to her, 97 00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:13,940 either that or maybe there is some weirdness in the background where the setup process 98 00:07:13,940 --> 00:07:16,940 is still happening with the Watch Ultra 2 just because we've set it up during the shoot. 99 00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:21,500 It was about 10 minutes ago that we actually did the process. Let's just try setting a timer or something 100 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:25,820 I would be doing on a day-to-day basis while cooking or whatever. Set a timer for 38 minutes. 101 00:07:26,660 --> 00:07:32,220 38 minutes, 38 minutes, counting time. All right, there's our advertised features. 102 00:07:35,420 --> 00:07:41,580 Another one of the big upgrades for the new one is that it doubled the storage. So the Watch Ultra 1 had 32 gigs. 103 00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:45,020 Watch Ultra 2 has 64. If you just want to bring your watch 104 00:07:45,020 --> 00:07:48,300 and not have your phone with you, connect that to your AirPods. 105 00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:52,900 That's obviously going to be beneficial for music or podcasts or whatever it is, audiobooks, 106 00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:56,500 whatever you're listening to on the trails. And if you're not on the trails and you're just out in the bush 107 00:07:56,500 --> 00:08:01,020 and you need something to keep you warm, you could go to LTT Store and get this amazing 108 00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:04,740 plaid flannel shirt. It's got pockets. Can you see this? 109 00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:08,220 Has pockets. I need to sell some plaids. Buy a plaid. 110 00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:12,260 Another thing that Apple focused on a lot was the double tap gesture. 111 00:08:12,260 --> 00:08:14,380 So I believe it's something like this. 112 00:08:15,780 --> 00:08:17,580 Oh yeah, okay, here we go. Double pinch to play. 113 00:08:19,860 --> 00:08:24,260 Play, double pinch, okay. Well, it might not be playing the music, 114 00:08:24,260 --> 00:08:27,780 but the function is working. So that's cool. 115 00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:32,140 Look at that. I got your whole house on my wrist, baby. 116 00:08:32,140 --> 00:08:36,940 Let's go. Is it worth it? For me, I would honestly say no. 117 00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:41,700 I wouldn't even recommend you pay money for the first one. It was a very specific situation 118 00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:45,740 that brought me to actually buying an Apple Watch Ultra I and under most circumstances, 119 00:08:45,740 --> 00:08:48,940 I just straight up would never spend that much money on a watch. 120 00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:53,380 If you're somebody who cares a lot about having the latest tech and you already have a Watch Ultra, 121 00:08:53,380 --> 00:08:56,700 I do not think you need to update to the Watch Ultra II to be totally frank. 122 00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:00,740 For me, I'm gonna be sticking with my Watch Ultra I. I think this thing is gonna last a number of years. 123 00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:04,580 I mean, I had the series four for probably six or seven years before I moved up to this one. 124 00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:08,540 The finish on the titanium is a little bit prone to marks. 125 00:09:08,540 --> 00:09:11,860 I've seen some other people say that they haven't had that experience. 126 00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:16,140 So maybe it's just a me thing. Maybe I'm just super clumsy. Maybe I just smack into door handles 127 00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:19,300 more than other people do. It does show some wear, 128 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:24,300 but at the end of the day, I think it's a fantastic looking watch. I really do like the finish. 129 00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,620 There are some great accessories. Like I have this Nomad titanium band 130 00:09:28,620 --> 00:09:32,460 that is a great match for either the Watch I 131 00:09:32,460 --> 00:09:37,540 or the Watch II. And I wouldn't recommend it for most people, but if you are somebody that does care about this stuff, 132 00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:41,020 you are somebody that feels like it's necessary to have the latest and greatest, 133 00:09:41,020 --> 00:09:44,460 you're not gonna listen to me anyway. Just go buy the damn thing. Make sure to watch some of the other content 134 00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:48,300 that we have on the channel. I think Sarah just did an awesome video about the iPhone 15. 135 00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:53,700 Will I be getting one? Absolutely not. Too damn expensive. I still have a tall Formax that works perfectly well. 136 00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:59,700 But yeah, if you wanna check that out, feel free. Over there, down there, over there, wherever, somewhere.
