    Great comprehensive comparison video! Thanks for helping me understand the major differences here. I’m probably gonna take the plunge and go for the Ultra edition! Rip us in the EU being charged 999 Euros haha… 😢

    We’d like a longer battery on the regular Apple Watch please!

    • AJ Marraffa

      September 8, 2022 at 10:14 pm

      Same. I’m a bit disappointed by the lack of significant battery upgrades to the more affordable watches. It shouldn’t be a luxury thing.

    So overpriced!! i’m not buying one until it can edit 8K video in Premier like my Galaxy Watch 5

    • Nothing

      September 8, 2022 at 10:51 pm

      This is not overpriced when it’s literally competing with more expensive watches and no lol the Galaxy Watch series is not comparable because they are not dive-certified computers

      Yes

  13. Lukas

    September 8, 2022 at 11:10 pm

    Hahaha what a sentence. You do not have to pay extra to get cellular on the ultra. For 800$ this would be a f…… Joke. What a price for a watch that does not even last one week with battery

  14. Janet

    September 8, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    You did not mention on the ultra the band is very different and is secure where it’s not going to fall off in the water and in other situations there are three different types depending on what your activity is and there is the ability in the middle of nowhere to make a satellite call for help if you get out somewhere and you need help you can do a satellite call on the ultra you you didn’t mention that at all and that is another big difference

    • Gary Boyce

      September 9, 2022 at 12:34 am

      I don’t know if you can make a satellite call on the ULTRA actually. Are you sure. That’s a game changer not bringing the phone while hiking

  15. German Chaparro

    September 8, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    I’m planning to buy my first Apple Watch this year and I’m Thinking about buying the series 8 or the series 7.
    Should I go for the series 8 and future proof or go for the series 7 and save some bucks?
    I have no need for the ultra and I must have an always on display so no SE either.
    Would love to hear your recommendation

    • Adam

      September 9, 2022 at 12:44 am

      I’d go for the 8. I know by experience what it feels like to have an old apple watch that can not keep up with the software. It’s not great, so I’d go for the watch with the new chip.

    • Dr Gazza

      September 9, 2022 at 12:49 am

      @Adam The ‘new’ S8 chips is the same as the S7 and S6 chips used in series 6 an 7 respectively. I would go for the S7 for a cheaper price.

    They show the guy diving with the always on display on. This must be new. Always on display in series 7 doesn’t work this way or if you have tattoos in the wrist. If they fixed this issue I’ll be upgrading for sure.

  21. Gary Boyce

    September 9, 2022 at 12:30 am

    Most diving is done no deeper than 100ft. Say 60-80ft so will be a perfect dive watch if max is 120ft. I’m also sure it will go deeper than that too

    Ordered and am excited to use this as a dive watch. Curious how the compass will work underwater too

    • Charlotte Bailey

      September 9, 2022 at 12:37 am

      It was 100 metres- which is 328 ft

    still 36hrs battery life? seriously

  23. Raybans_12

    September 9, 2022 at 12:38 am

    Why would anyone want to buy an ugly apple square face watch with only 18 hours battery life? This is so stupid. Garmin, Samsung watch 5 pro and Fitbit all have great batteries and same features as this. It’s crazy what apple is able to get away with. Too many die hard sheep that only know what Apple tells them. This line up is terrible. Shame on apple for not doing better with their watches. Watch Ultra is a 49mm disaster that really nobody should buy until they make it a round face and put a bigger battery inside

  24. Elise Nicole

    September 9, 2022 at 1:01 am

    Is there a new Hermes Apple Watch?

  25. Michael zebley

    Ordered the ultra. It’s already not being shipped to me until late October

  26. Dennis Berceles

    September 9, 2022 at 5:21 am

    Why Apple or the American technology can’t beat the Chinese’ HUAWEI or OPPO in terms of longer battery life in a smartwatch?
    If apple can improve the battery of Watch ULTRA, why not do the same to Watch 8 and SE?

    • Viraj Vhatkar

      September 9, 2022 at 6:10 am

      Because Chinese own the global battery race!

      September 9, 2022 at 6:55 am

      Yeah this is the first time I’ve bought the previous model on any apple product because there’s litterly no difference that’s worth double the price

  28. Neil Fowler

    September 9, 2022 at 6:23 am

    I was hoping to swap my Garmin Fenix for an Apple Watch that had the same advantages (e.g. multi GPS, plenty of tri functions) and I could discreetly wear to work. Unfortunately, the Ultra is too clunky for me. In addition, the single colour makes it stand out too much, the cellular connectivity is unnecessary and the UK pricing isn’t competitive enough. I guess I’ll stick with my Garmin for sports and my regular watch for day-to-day, for now at least.

    • Chris Slusher

      September 9, 2022 at 2:59 pm

      Yes.

    • TalsVids

      Yes they will, all but the stainless steel bracelet from what I can remember reading in the compatibility section for the watch bands/straps.

    I like the Ultra for the improved battery life, I’ll probably buy one in a few months because I will have to save up for it! Pricey at $1299 Australian

  38. shanmac77

    Thanks. I ordered the SE2 LTE version. Price was a no brainer up in Canada. Thought about the Ultra but wanted to order the Airpod Pro 2’s as well and couldn’t do both.

    Has anyone noticed the black bezel area around the screen on the Ultra looks larger than the smaller bezels of the S8. I would have expected the Ultra to have much smaller bezels due to its flat screen.

    The Ultra is even more ugly and clunky than the other versions. The features are good, but in a hideous case.

    September 10, 2022 at 8:40 am

    I don’t scuba dive, climb mountains or do ultra marathons. Still considering the Ultra though… Battery life is much better and I don’t want to worry about scratching it, and if you want the watch 8 with cellular the price isn’t much different.

    “You don’t have to pay extra” is the wrong wording. The correct one is “you have to pay extra”.

  56. Jimmy Brannan

    September 10, 2022 at 11:52 am

    I imagine the new battery saver mode is just going to turn off the screen always on mode to make the power use go back to what it was before.

  57. Iggy Cygnus

    September 10, 2022 at 12:29 pm

    The Apple Watch Hemes is the most expensive Watch option available from Apple. Not the Apple Watch Ultra.

    Ordered me a ultra. hope it ships early, I can’t wait til November

    • Scott Findley

      September 11, 2022 at 6:33 pm

      I ordered 3 minutes after sales went live on Verizon and my ship date was November 30th for the trail loop. My current Apple Watch requires me to charge the battery mid day (I charged mine 12 hours ago and it’s at 27% now), I went back on the Verizon site last night (9/10) and they actually had Watches available on the release still in the yellow ocean band. I do SCUBA dive on occasion so I went with that one and was able to buy the trail band I wanted from Verizon and it will ship before the watch actually does.

    • m simm

      September 11, 2022 at 7:03 pm

      @Scott Findley Mine is due to ship November 1. I currently have the 7 -45mm and it’s great and apple is giving me $155 for it towards the ultra

  66. Griswald

    September 11, 2022 at 7:42 pm

    I think the ultra has bigged up so that they can fit in face time in the future..
