WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.400 I am the one person in the Linus Media Group building 00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:07.160 who has been using this, the Apple Watch Ultra One, 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:11.840 for the last year. So the ShortCircuit team thought that I might be 00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:15.160 a good person to do an unboxing over here 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, 00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:25.160 Snazzy, shout out Quinn, was saying that the Watch Ultra Two 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.520 is the most premium unboxing experience that Apple has right now. 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 00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:40.300 and the watch right over here as well. We'll get into that in a moment. 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. 00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:49.820 They have the Alpine Loop as well and an Ocean Loop. 00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:52.940 I actually use the Alpine on my Apple Watch Ultra One. 00:00:52.940 --> 00:00:56.400 Really like that. It's broken in nicely, super comfy for day to day use 00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.420 and I do like the olive green that they have on there. 00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:05.600 So let's see what the differences are between the Alpine and the Trail. 00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:11.400 So this is the Trail Loop. Just super simple Velcro Hook and Loop style. 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.480 It does look like this one's a medium slash large. 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.840 So it should be good for any variety of wrist sizes. 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.800 I use the large on the Alpine so this one should be perfectly fine. 00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:29.040 And boom, right on there. So yeah, having tried the Alpine band with the one 00:01:29.100 --> 00:01:32.540 and the Trail band now with the two. I definitely prefer the Alpine band. 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 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 00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:46.820 I assume the Trail band is gonna work just as well for you there as well. 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. 00:01:51.820 --> 00:01:55.180 So they of course include some fun marketing materials 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. 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:06.720 Looks like it has a Boutier. Wow, three microphone, array, crown guard, GPS, action button. 00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:10.520 It's international orange. Wow, they've chosen international orange 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.760 for the visibility of the button but if you're looking at the button 00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:18.520 doesn't that sort of defeat the whole purpose of the button being convenient? 00:02:20.320 --> 00:02:25.240 Wow, yep, this is a marketing booklet in your $1,000 watch that you just bought. 00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:30.740 I love it. So one of the small differences between the Ultra One 00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:37.140 and the Ultra Two is the weight. So let's take out our handy dandy scale 00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:43.380 and see what we see. First up our watch Ultra One comes in at 62 grams 00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:49.500 and our watch Ultra Two comes in at 62 grams. 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 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 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 00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:06.500 in the box here we have the charging cable. 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 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 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 00:03:18.220 --> 00:03:21.460 you have a sufficiently large charging cable. 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. 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. 00:03:33.140 --> 00:03:39.500 Doing a quick little side by side there. Wow, basically the same, both are 49 millimeters 00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:42.820 both have the same display size and resolution 00:03:42.820 --> 00:03:47.420 but the watch Ultra Two actually has 50% more brightness. 00:03:47.420 --> 00:03:51.260 So the watch Ultra One is 2,000 nits, watch Ultra Two is 3,000 nits. 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 00:03:56.740 --> 00:04:03.340 set up for myself. And then we just do the fun dot exercise here. 00:04:05.380 --> 00:04:09.380 And it's paired, it just works. 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. 00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:17.700 Hi, I'm Siri, choose the voice you'd like me to use. 00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:20.700 None of those are great to be honest with you but we're going voice for. 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, 00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:28.620 you get your action button. So you can have it set up for your workouts, 00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:32.420 stopwatch, waypoint, backtrack, I don't even know what that is. 00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:37.700 Oh, cool, so backtrack is the feature where you can basically track where you've parked 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 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 00:04:46.220 --> 00:04:50.980 and flashlight, I think we'll leave it on flashlight. For me, it might surprise you 00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:54.340 but I have it set up for the workout option on my side. 00:04:55.820 --> 00:04:59.540 Super convenient, just hit that one button, boom, select. 00:04:59.540 --> 00:05:03.380 Does it really meaningfully change your life? No, absolutely not. 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, 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. 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, 00:05:16.020 --> 00:05:18.100 let's try the flashlight. 00:05:19.900 --> 00:05:24.420 Boom, flash bang. One of the big advertised features on the Watch Ultra 2 00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:29.060 is flashlight boost. Since it has a 3000 nit display, 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 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 00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:40.660 so this makes sense. So just for a quick brightness comparison, 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, 00:05:46.980 --> 00:05:52.220 it is significantly brighter. Is it gonna be the difference between seeing something 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? 00:05:57.860 --> 00:06:01.460 Yes, it is brighter. Another one of the advertised features for this device 00:06:01.460 --> 00:06:04.900 was Siri on device for offline increase. 00:06:04.900 --> 00:06:08.460 So turn in off the Wi-Fi and then, 00:06:08.460 --> 00:06:12.180 what do we do, Siri, right? Hey, where's the closest Burger King? 00:06:13.940 --> 00:06:17.100 There we go. It is GPS enabled, so if you're somebody 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. 00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:24.420 So I would imagine that's how they're pulling in information about where something is 00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:27.580 when you're in offline Siri mode, pretty cool. 00:06:27.580 --> 00:06:30.660 So one of the other big things they talked about 00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:34.100 with the new watch was the four core neural engine. 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. 00:06:41.580 --> 00:06:43.780 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:45.860 Here's what I found. 00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:52.820 There's the other one back on line. Here's what I found. 00:06:52.820 --> 00:06:56.580 I'm a bit confused because the Watch Ultra 2 00:06:56.580 --> 00:07:01.740 appears to be quite a bit slower in actual dictation than my Watch Ultra 1. 00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:04.980 So it's possible that Siri's just always listening to me 00:07:04.980 --> 00:07:08.860 and knows my voice at this point, even though I never try to talk to her, 00:07:08.860 --> 00:07:13.940 either that or maybe there is some weirdness in the background where the setup process 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. 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 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. 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:32.220 38 minutes, 38 minutes, counting time. All right, there's our advertised features. 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. 00:07:41.580 --> 00:07:45.020 Watch Ultra 2 has 64. If you just want to bring your watch 00:07:45.020 --> 00:07:48.300 and not have your phone with you, connect that to your AirPods. 00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:52.900 That's obviously going to be beneficial for music or podcasts or whatever it is, audiobooks, 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 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 00:08:01.020 --> 00:08:04.740 plaid flannel shirt. It's got pockets. Can you see this? 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:08.220 Has pockets. I need to sell some plaids. Buy a plaid. 00:08:08.220 --> 00:08:12.260 Another thing that Apple focused on a lot was the double tap gesture. 00:08:12.260 --> 00:08:14.380 So I believe it's something like this. 00:08:15.780 --> 00:08:17.580 Oh yeah, okay, here we go. Double pinch to play. 00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:24.260 Play, double pinch, okay. Well, it might not be playing the music, 00:08:24.260 --> 00:08:27.780 but the function is working. So that's cool. 00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:32.140 Look at that. I got your whole house on my wrist, baby. 00:08:32.140 --> 00:08:36.940 Let's go. Is it worth it? For me, I would honestly say no. 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 00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:45.740 that brought me to actually buying an Apple Watch Ultra I and under most circumstances, 00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:48.940 I just straight up would never spend that much money on a watch. 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, 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. 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. 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. 00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:08.540 The finish on the titanium is a little bit prone to marks. 00:09:08.540 --> 00:09:11.860 I've seen some other people say that they haven't had that experience. 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 00:09:16.140 --> 00:09:19.300 more than other people do. It does show some wear, 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. 00:09:24.300 --> 00:09:28.620 There are some great accessories. Like I have this Nomad titanium band 00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:32.460 that is a great match for either the Watch I 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, 00:09:37.540 --> 00:09:41.020 you are somebody that feels like it's necessary to have the latest and greatest, 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 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. 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. 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.
