3 grams. The Apple watch Ultra is Apple’s largest and most rugged watch to date. It has dual frequency UK a peak brightness of 2000 nits. A 36-hour battery life a bright orange action button, a titanium case water resistance down to 100 meters and of course an Ultra price tag of 799.

Apple Claims That Every Detail Has Been

engineered to create the most rugged and capable Apple watch Ever So. In the last three months we got lost yeah we’re the fools with 20 pounds of gear on our back we Dove deep. We went on long runs and we even tore it apart average use should probably get you about two years to see just how Ultra this watch really is so in this video, I’ve created these mini reviews or vignettes that highlight some of the most important features on the. Appalache Ultra I’ve called in some pros too and I encourage you to jump around all of the sections are labeled down below the Apple Watch Ultra is an amazing device, but much like a Jeep or a fancy pair of hiking boots. It sells this Grand idea of off-the-grid Adventures that it isn’t always capable of delivering on enjoy bud we’re putting a lot of trust in technology today Lucky for one of us I’ve started my trackpad so new to the Apple watch UK the Apple Watch series 8 and of course the ultra is a track back feature within the compass app.

If You Start A Walk A

bike or a hike, it will automatically start dropping waypoints as you’re going so that you could track back, but Apple claims that it will also start automatically when you are quote unquote Off the Grid in the fine. their website, it says that that means that you are away from locations that you are normally in and you’re away from UK So I’m going to start a hike, which should automatically start the track back feature, but Viren is not going to start a hike and we’re going to see if it actually starts tracking back for him because well. I think that you’re going to need track back when you don’t think you’ll need it the most if that makes sense anyway let’s go get lost V you ready for this not really we have a lot of gear. Why are we doing this apple in its September keynote seemed set on convincing all of us that danger is everywhere and only an Apple device running Apple software can save us on the Apple watch Ultra that means safety features such as fall detection emergency UK that. can alert specific contacts if you need help car crash protection and backtrack.

This Is My Supervising Producer Viren

I’m so glad I brought my hiking shoes. I made him set out on a six-mile hike with me. We were both wearing Apple watch Ultras and well quickly Our Tech began to fail us that way or that way. I think that way I said that way first it was the lack of turn-by-turn directions or way to follow a preset route so less than a mile into our hike. We took our first Wrong Turn embarrassing.

Even Though I Did Have An Offline Map.

I was attempting to follow on my phone. I think we keep veering and let’s go. You think we keep the erroring veering like oh. This mistake ended up adding an extra three miles to our hike.

There Were Also Multiple Times We

had. An educated guess about which Trail to follow since our Trails were not well marked long story short. We probably bleep no a watch meant for Adventures should have integrated offline Trail navigation Hey how you doing kid Second holding my camera led to my wrist pushing down on a combination of physical buttons which paused our walk 4. 6 miles before I realized it was paused the watch still recorded points in the compass app for the backtrack feature. Even though the workout was paused, but no one wants any amount of Miles missing from the final count of a workout dumb dumb I hate that and third and most importantly viren’s backtrack.

It Never Started Theres Absolutely Nothing On

here, which is a little concerning, despite being incredibly Off the Grid and having started a walk after the watch noticed fear and was walking for a while the compass. Never began dropping any waypoints yeah! At this point, you really should see a lot of little breadcrumbs so if he had gotten lost he wouldn’t be able to use the backtrack feature. I guess you have to just like assume that you will get lost dude that sucks that kind of sucks um Since I physically started my hike workout on the watch when we started. I had many many waypoints to follow on our way back Hella points V thank God you got me what would you do with that what would you do without me so at the top of the mountain, which was the middle of her hike. I simply pressed the back track button on the compass app and it led me to every point I had dropped.

This Is Going To Be Incredibly Useful When

bushwhacking or hiking without a trail to the top. of a peak but in our experience with two days of hiking unless you physically start a workout. This feature does not always start on its own and I don’t think it should be relied upon when heading out on an adventure. Don’t assume this feature is just going to start downloading an offline hiking map, such as one from all Trails is still a safer bet. Another safety feature on the Apple Watch Ultra is its siren.

Apple Claims That They Worked Very Hard To

make this 86-Decibel siren unique so that when you hear it you know that it’s not just another sound in nature, but to test it I’m going to start walking away from Viren and every 30 seconds. He’s going to sound the siren. If I can hear him. I’ll stop. I can hear that now note that I can hear him and then.

Ill Keep Walking Till I Can

no longer hear him, but I’ve also bought a four-dollar whistle so after we test this iron we’re going to test just a normal whistle and see how far away. I can get from that piece wait give me that camera in order to turn on the siren. All you have to do is just hold on to the action button and then you’ll get prompted to slide across the screen to turn on the siren All right. I’m 125 feet away and I hear that Oh Yeah I hear ya all right so you can hear that continuing down the path your feet. Yeah.

I Can Hear That All Right All Right.

This is 450 feet. Oh Yeah okay 450 feet We’re gonna go to 550 feet. Oh yeah okay 0. 1 miles 550 feet.

I Can Still Hear Him But Barely

barely. Either he’s not ringing it or I can’t hear it so 0. 12 miles that’s that’s about where I stopped hearing it. I gotta walk back it’s like the Walk of Shame Whistle time four dollar whistle. You remember you’re like you might die Yeah like this is your safety full power Yeah It’s not gonna help holy bleep on the road again.

Im Gonna Go Right To 550 Feet And

then I’m gonna go all the way to 0.12 miles. Assuming I could hear him at 500 feet three two one oh yeah, Oh yeah It’s like not even a question you could definitely hear the whistle yep I just heard it at. 14 miles. This is 0.

15 Miles Yep I Just Heard It I

feel terrible blowing this whistle Oh my God 0.2 miles. So I’m really hoping I wouldn’t have to keep walking I’m officially at a quarter. quarter of a mile and we’re gonna see if we can hear him here. I have to keep doing this right.

I Do Hello You Might Hear

a whistle feel free to ignore it. Okay. Okay I just heard it, but it was very faint dude Yeah quarter of a mile yeah you’re not even surprised makes sense honestly four dollars. I felt terrible blowing this whistle. I will everybody walking by yeah same so while these safety features Okay.

I Need To Rant About The Action

button for a bit so hear me out by default. When you press the action button. It is set to open a list of workouts for you to choose from and I think that’s wrong you can set up complications to do that I set mine so it starts my most used workout, which is something that I do every day like walking. And from a practical point of view when it comes to the Button, It is super convenient and I trust it whenever I leave the house. I just press it.

I Dont Even Double Check To Make

sure that the workout has started and it’s easy to pause exercises even when your screen is locked except well that really means the Button is only good at one thing, which is starting my walking workout and that is it so if you’re someone who uses Focus modes on your phone like me wouldn’t it be cool if the action Button just sort of remaps itself so. For example, let’s say you’re on mountain. If I’m on a mountain and I have my skiing watch face turned on you’d expect that the action Button would just assume that the next activity that I want to do is skiing and it would adapt. itself to skiing or turning on the slopesat same thing with any other Focus mode that is based on a specific activity that I do Luckily Internet is a great place and somebody already made a series shortcuts just for that except it’s a series shortcut so it doesn’t work as good as it should the screen itself is big and bright.

It Can Reach Up To 2

000 feet of Maximum brightness and I had no problem looking at my info during the day. The weight and size of the ultra also didn’t bother me while skiing or Everyday Use but yeah. It can look absolutely massive on a smaller wrist. So I do have one other gripe that I want to talk about and that is screen size so on paper.

The Screen Is Four Millimeters Bigger

than the standard Apple watch like the 45-millimeter Series S. But in practice, this newly gained real estate isn’t really being well used. I was expecting either just more information displayed or even more new watch faces right now everything just looks pretty much the same just bigger maybe even the lack of curve doesn’t help here. I don’t know anyways who’s next time for a transition okay so transition I’ll cut to the chase the Apple watch Ultra is a good running watch.

Its Not The Best But Theres A Lot

to like now I’ve used other Apple watches for years and those were good too. I trained for the New York half marathon with the series seven and like three other watches and didn’t have a lot of complaints but the ultra wasn’t designed with shorter distances like a half in mind. It’s meant to be the Apple watch for triathletes marathoners and Ultra marathoners back when we. thought this
