Can the Apple Watch Ultra 2 become my only daily driver device? Today I do my yearly test to replace my iPhone with an Apple Watch to see how long the battery lasts, if I can navigate places, buy things with Apple Pay, and communicate with friends via message & phone calls.

    Standing at my kids bus stop I get a random call from Shervin and here we are. It all makes sense now 😂
  • @EustachijusV
    Thanks Shervin for the video! Looking forward to see another review at the end of 2024. I am sure Ultra 3 will be a huge improvement. I always enjoy your videos, thanks for what you are doing!
  • @Ejoel07
    This reminds me of the first video I watched of yours. I love it❤️
  • @CrazyPirateUnion
    Now please do a video of this with Apple Watch series 9 cellular 45mm. That would be awesome. I use Apple Watch series 9 cellular 45mm and battery last 90% of the day with medium use.

    I’ve been considering doing this more often. The biggest cons for me has been: not being able to listen to my music on my cars Bluetooth and also feeding my screen time addiction. I’ll typically carry my AirPods and a little cash though. It does feel nice not carrying your phone occasionally.
  • @mlegrand
    Wow, @chaseTheSummit cameo appearance!!! My hope is that Apple leans into more and more gestures going forward. I'd love to be able to operate the entire watchOS with out using the touch screen. 🙏 🍎
  • @GabrielDeSanti
    Do does your watch have to have a different phone number with a separate phone plan if it’s not connected to your phone?? Or is it a seamless integration using your same phone number??
  • @TimothySands
    Great video! What Apple Watch band are you rocking?
  • @KingTechHD
    Great video. It’s a great companion for the iPhone, but not a replacement
  • @Jona
    Could you do this same video in LTE only and low power mode the whole day?
  • I just got myself an Ultra watch 2 and I am loving 3 to 4 days of battery life on low power mode!!!! 🔥🔥
  • @Zuuu40
    Amazing video happy Christmas to u
  • @EverydayChris
    Perfect vid man. I wish it lasts me at least 2 days but with constant use I gotta charge it everyday still

    As with everyone else who makes these "I replaced" videos, you will end up going back to a smartphone. I'm not trying to be snarky or anything. Apple Watches just don't cover all the bases that most people need - and that is 100% intentional on Apple's part. Want to compose a WhatsApp message? Good luck. Need to compose a detailed email with no grammatical or spelling mistakes? Have fun. There are just too many things that are clunky and inefficient to do on a watch (or in some cases, impossible). Everyone gets giddy and excited when watching Apple Watch marketing and thinks "Wow! I can leave my iPhone at home and have less screen time!" ...but if they go ahead with it, reality slowly kicks in. I know it's less exciting, but you can get a small and simple phone (like iPhone SE) to discourage screen time, and set up software guards and reminders to spend less time on the device. The experience will be a lot better. Sure, it won't look as cool as an Apple Watch Ultra, and maybe people will think you have less money (*gasp*). But if you actually value what you claim to value, this will accomplish what you're looking to do in terms of spending more time in the world and less time on a gadget. ...and again, not to be snarky, but you didn't replace your iPhone - Apple made sure that you can't use an Apple Watch without an iPhone sitting around somewhere pushing notifications to your watch.
