19 Apple Watch Ultra Tips & Tricks (that make it worth it)

Which Apple Watch are you rocking: Ultra, or something else?

Honestly no Apple Watch is worth more than $200. You really don’t use it for anything tbh. You already have a phone. What the f could a little watch screen tell you that your phone can’t? I have the 9 and 3, and neither is that useful.

Hello Brandon, I am one of your subscribers and have always enjoyed your videos and your attention to detail. I have a question about the Apple Watch ultra 2: Do I need to activate the water lock on the watch before going into the pool?

I had a Series 4 44mm and the band fits perfectly, no need for it to be a 45mm

for the wayfinder face, you can turn it automatically to red, just by activating night mode on the display 🙂 ... but thanks for the video, very informative

I can't find Notes for the watch and you say you open in with a button Can you explain. Thanks.

The noise notification thing is pretty silly. What are you gonna do? Put ear plugs in while you’re walking down the street because your watch told you to? Lol

You actually prefer the orange band huh

U didn't provide useful info rlly overconfidince isnt always good

Brandon, your videos are fantastic. I consistently gain fresh and valuable insights. I appreciated your suggestion regarding using Focus mode with multiple displays. I experimented with it during Sleep mode to switch to a new watch face in Dark Mode red. However, the watch face didn't revert to the default when I deactivated Sleep mode. Do you happen to know what steps I should take to return to the default watch face?

this is exactly the video I was looking for before purchasing an Ultra 2. All the other videos just state what is already available on Apple's website: it can be used as a flashlight, it has an action button, but not how good they are and some creative ways those can be used.

Nightstand Mode should show the time continuously without having to touch it.

I don’t like orange. The Action button looks like the proverbial sore thumb. How about natural titanium?

Pre-ordered the ProMax in titan, 1TB

Series 7 with 12PM

Thank you

My everyday watch is a Tissot T-Touch Solar connect, I like it because it does a lot of gshock mud master stuff but still looking dressy. I’m a stay home dad now.. I want something basic. Is an Apple Watch still as disposable? Like if I go hike, would that Apple Watch work the next day?

Just got this over the weekend. Love the flashlight for the shortcut button. Especially waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom lol

My wife bought me the Ultra for my birthday replacing my version 3 so it is quite the upgrade. The version 3 still works, though the battery is not what it once was and my wife said it was looking a little too worn. I wish the Wayfinder watch face had the option to adjust the color to red by the ambient light sensor or at least by time of day. Not a major deal but it would have been a nice option. I am overall very impressed with the AWU. The larger screen and longer battery life are all significant improvements to how I use the Apple Watch.

The first tip rocks! And lots of ideas

Brandon, thank you for this video. This is great. I have a question that I haven’t been able to get fully answered on other videos. Could you please do an in-depth video on how to use focus mode or focus is in general? It seems like when I set up a sleep focus, and everything indicates that I will not get disturbed with alerts, etc., I still get disturbed. Focuses just don’t seem to work for me. Can you help?

I got the Ultra in April, I got a big scratch in my Watch 7 glass and I have a normal watch with sapphire glass and I already know how scratch resistant it is. I love the flat face. Also I like the two day battery life.
I like the red watch face.
My orange button is set to get a waypoint, but I haven’t used it much yet, it’s winter now.

Can you put the shortcut back up, please?

Ultra will be my first Apple Watch so hopefully I will like it, I just don’t know if I should bring it to work because I work in construction and I’m not very carful and I get really dirty

I just got my ultra and it’s not nearly as bright as yours.

Checking the display brightness shows that it’s as high as it goes.

Is there something else that I need to do or do I need to exchange it?

Cant download the short cut wont show on my phone

Will the Apple Watch Ultra still track your sleep if it is in low power mode? I understand that it might not track your heart rate as often, but does it still track your sleep accurately and low power mode? Thank you.

i’m debating whether or not to get an ultra or to get a series 9 (when it probably comes out) in september. only reason i debate is because i work as a mechanic and the strength of the ultra sounds very nice in the environment that i work in, but i’m not sure if the series 9 with an aftermarket case will suffice.

Thanks Brandon. 👍🏽

Had the 6, sold it to get the 7 while I was working at T-Mo. Just picked up the watch Ultra tonight and super glad I did!

Got mine today this thing is a beast I love it

You worked for apple

Hey Brandon, I just purchased a Watch Ultra and searched on YT for tips. Came across your excellent video, and I have to say that your Action Button Shortcut is a game changer! Thanks so much 🙏🏾

Ty

Your profile picture look old man , I thought you are mid 40 😅😊😂

Super informative video, Brandon! Thank you! You pointed out about 4-5 tips that I’ll put into place immediately. 👍🏼👍🏼

Good information

Just upgraded from Apple Watch Series 5 to the ultra. 10/10 recommend, would do it again. It is an absolute GAME changer, I run 30+ miles every week and this things battery goes all day at work and into the next days before I even need to think about charging.

how'd you get notes?

I just purchased mine this week. I'm loving it so far, but still playing around with the settings. I didn't think I'd like the Alpine loop band, but I do!

I like your shortcut for the action button, but how to I change it to open my work out app during the day?

Count the ‘singles’. As in ‘every single day’, every day is never enough. It must be an American thing?

Great video! Snappy production, efficient tips and tricks!

Purchase the Ultra and put it Low Power Mode, therefore removing most of your sensors and functionality for a little extra battery. Sounds smahhhht.

If you use the red screen, use the action button for the flashlight, but activate theatre mode and it will be red too!

Upgraded me Series 3 to Ultra

Probs the best video I've ever seen on a piece of tech I have just purchased. Thanks bro. God bless.

Just got mine today! (Ultra) upgraded from a Apple Watch Series ( 6 )
