    Thanks for the tips. Bought my first smartwatch and I chose the Series 9. I'm a senior and am impressed with all these watches can do. Learning everyday.😊
  • there is so many videos out there making pointless comparisons. Thank you for the short and very informative video on helping us make a decision, specially from the point of view of someone who ACTUALLY owns the watches and is using them for more than talking to siri.
  • @steeverreno
    VERY GOOD ANALYSIS. ESPECIALLY LIKED THE PART ABOUT SLIDING AROUND ON THE WRIST. IN DEPTH.
  • @danielnation9123
    I really appreciate your professionalism and ability to break down a confusing subject..
  • @samzh0u
    Great review, loved the considerations about weight and sleep, and ultimately my deciding factor.
  • @wisemiik
    Isn’t it crazy how battery life is so important to people and Apple knows that they charge $400 extra for a watch that does almost exact same things as the $400 cheaper one except the battery life is better.
  • @anthonycraig274
    This is a great, probably the best review I’ve seen on the subject.
  • @premjitc
    Thanks for the tips. I got my first Apple Watch ever and upgraded from my Garmin Fenix 5x. I see that now the Apple Watch pretty much does everything the garmin does and more. Only grouse is the longer endurance of the Garmin which is amazing. But I am really loving the series 9 now.
  • @XdB1Gz7StR4C7
    You were clear and understandable as always. Your videos are very helpful Des. Well done. I personally like the AWU2.
  • @ericbeyer3869
    On my old series 7, I would routinely kill the battery going out for a bike ride if I also had it playing music. It was often near dead after 2 hours with those demands. By any chance, do data exist for similar stress loads for the series 9 and/or ultra 2? Thanks again for your work.
  • @TheMirrorVision
    Great video! It would be nice to creatively display any dimensions on-screen when you are listing and comparing them for any future videos. I upgraded from a Series 4 to the Ultra 2 and it's been a dramatic improvement across the board, and re-ignited my love for the Apple Watch in general. Also the Ultra 2 definitely feels more premium and handsome than the standard design.
  • @batuksri
    The flat screen of the Ultra cuts down on distracting reflections you see on the curved bezel edges of the 9.
  • @MicrobyteAlan
    Interesting, informative and well presented. Thanks
  • @robertl8565
    Excellent review. I have the Apple Watch 5 and thought I needed the Ultra.because of durability and features. Your comparison correcty points out that they are 95% the same. I don't need extra batterylife and I have never scratched my Apple Watch 5. I will upgrade to the 9. Thank You
  • @user-ye9zy9xr2x
    Biggest thing for me upgrading over the 4 was the storage space love that the series 9 can now actually hold all of my 2000 songs and not just 800 or so
  • @djomedia
    Great video, very informative, exactly what I was looking for.
  • @roger7918
    Outstanding video. Just became interested in the Apple watch during the last week, and this has been the most informative video I've viewed. I had been trying to determine which of these to go for, and thanks to you, my choice has been made. Thanks!
  • @H0FFER
    I really like the Ultra. I know the screen is much bigger, but ever bit helps. Also, the new Modular Ultra watch face is my new favorite. With the Ultra name, I assume that face isn't available on the non-Ultra watches??
