Not clear so hoping you might know.. pool swim tells you the water temp whilst swimming? Even in an indoor pool?

Hi. Is it worth it upgrading to s10 from se2?

What a Shame that Apple watches Series 6-7-8 have Blood Oxygen Monitor and in the 9-10 and Ultra series NO... Why?

Would have been nice to start with 
how to create that highlight on the map.

I will stay to my se . When they make good battery we will buy the new

Same short batteri life as the series 9 is extremely disappointing. You would have thought that the bigger form factor would allow for a bigger battery.

I ordered this watch today the 42 mm rose gold aluminum 1 cuz it would ship the fastest I don't remember what number I think it was the series 5 but I had it with my 11 pro Max so it's been awhile

Is it good for the watch to swim in saltwater?!

Is it possible to use double tap feature while running to switch between Maps and Fitness App so you can quickly see, in Smart Stack, your next turn/directions, and then let the Smart Stack go back to the Fitness app you had open? Meaning can double tap get a quick view of maps without having to touch your screen? This would be huge for me while running in new places but wanting to keep HR/Pace etc data visible.

How is 5 hrs of sleep in your normal range? Help me. I need 8 to feel optimal.

Clever shirt 😊

Your shirt is awesome. 🍝 🏃‍♀️ 💨

I wish they didn’t get rid of the pulse ox function. As an asthmatic it’s an essential feature.

My reaction to the early Apple Watches was that "Apple will eventually create a watch that I would want, but they haven't done it yet". With version 10, I'm still in that holding pattern. Seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Just to be sure ... if you buy the new Apple watch 10 in Europe ... there is still the Blood Oxy function active on it ??

I have yet to watch this video but if you don't include a section telling us whether the jet bkack scratches or not I'm going to be disappointed, since this video is "in depth"

Best feature of Apple watch that wasn't mentioned is Apple Pay. You might not call this a sports feature, but I think being able to buy coffee and cake on the sunday club ride without having to get my phone out counts as 'sport'... or being able to buy a bike for that matter.

Wait… THATS how you switch between apps now? I’ve spent a year missing it!!

Does 45band fit 46

Wonder if the outdoor rowing now can track gps….

Hahaha “Regret typing this list out” 😂

I'm test driving a whoop for 1 month and have a series 7 on my left wrist. I'm debating upgrading the apple watch to a new one and not go for whoop. Any thoughts?

18 hours battery life is a joke , there are watches out there with maybe 10 % less features at half the price and with at least 1 week battery life, i say this as an apple user but it ll never get a watch until they have at least 3 days battery life !!

Wow…apple will do anything to block users from importing the industry standard: GPX files that every other watch, bike computer or online navigation for sports use

I would strongly advise against fast charging people!

Here an example:
I had the Series 4 from launch day in 2018 to October 2024. In those 3 years and 1 month my battery health went from 100% to 86% - the Series 4 didn't have fast charging

My Series 7, which I got on launch day in October 2021 went from 100% to 86% in just 2 years! It got replaced by Apple in October 2023 under warranty for an unrelated problem and the replacement unit that I got in October 2023 is at 90% battery health after less than a year - that's what fast charging does to your Apple Watch

I've always used my Series 4 and Series 7 the same way - none of them have ever been connected to cellular because in my country only 1 carrier supports eSim on the Apple Watch and they're thieves. I've worn both every single day and used them in exactly the same way. I think the AOD on the Series 7 doesn't do the battery any favors of course...

Now the Series 10 introduces even faster charging! So it will kill your battery even faster. It wouldn't surprise me that it could reach 80% battery health after just 2 years and we all know how important it is to limit battery health on the Apple Watch which already has poor battery life.

I got myself a USB-A Apple Watch charger again and I'll be using it with a 5W Apple wall charger for my Series 10 that's arriving on Friday. I'm done with fast charging my Apple Watch but for the rare occasions I really need to juice up quickly.

Best video for Series 10 yet. But please do more accuracy and comparison tests.

Amazing review bro, definitely the best one I've seen so far

Great video thanks Ray!

For me, the Apple Watch, strictly viewed as a watch, lacks character and, as a fitness tracker, is just too darn expensive. Add to that the need to charge it every 1-2 days... well, it isn't worth it to me. That's why I'm taking a break from Apple Watch and will be wearing a Mi Band 9 on the right wrist and one of my assorted Casios on the left...best of both worlds (character and fitness tracking) at a fraction of the price.

It’s a buy buy buy!!!

Would the watch last a marathon? While playing podcast and connected to AirPods Pro? Contemplating this over the new black Ultra 2

Thank you for comparing the gps accuracy

Can you pls detail us about BLOOD OXYGEN SENSOR?

Gah, it's so underwhelming. Trying to decide what to get for my new running watch, seems like Suunto Race S, Apple Watch 10, Garmin 265S are the best options but SO hard to pick between them...I somehow like Suunto as it looks like a proper men's watch, VS Apple which looks like a toy.

Question: does the larger screen enable showing five metrics during workouts (cycling, hiking etc) or still just four metrics per workout view page?

Apple hasn't been leading in tech breakthroughs for years. These iterative changes are underwhelming

Time to upgrade from my series 2 😊

So finally grabbing onto Whoop's 'strain' for workouts.

Thanks Ray!

Hi Ray, bit off topic but what hotel did you stay in in Mallorca? 😂

45 vs 46 mm and 3% bigger surface is noticeable?
come on,don't be so sold
and even if true,who cares for fucking 3% difference?

for someone still using Series 1 just for the heart rate monitoring whilst resting (sleeping 😴), Series 10 is intriguing for me for that sleep apnea monitoring 🤔

O Crap
It looks the same as last years.
Apple needs to redesign the watch. Not a fan of wearing a mini iphone on my wrist.
The size difference is so minimal hardly noticeable.

Is that the Ink fabric band?

I’m so disappointed that a bigger battery has not been added to Ultra Watch.
Also after using the new Workout app and the updated Map app for the last few months (beta) I have returned to the much better Workoutdoor app for my every day offroad dog walking/running and running/hiking routine.

Still rocking my series 6, I will not upgrade to a new model for now and I think my next step will be to go with Garmin

I'm quite disappointed, as swimming in a pool with the apple watch is still an agony. I thought... with the new update they would release the option to mark laps as with other sports... but no! On top of that, the integration of swimming with Training Peaks is still not available. You have to generate your workouts directly in the watch. OMG! So, almost nothing has changed... :(

What happens if you buy it outside the US but then go to the US? Will the SPO2 work then?

If you need buy a new Apple Watch today, you would buy an Apple Watch Ultra 2 or an Apple Watch 10?

It's been 4 years. Looks like I'm not upgrading again.

My watch SE 1 is not eligible for the Watch OS 11 update. My carrier is so desperate that they are offering Watch 10 on pre-order with the pre-order purchase of an iPhone 16 Pro. They are a tier II vendor so are on limited allocations. They don't expect to be able to have either available for pickup unit the first quarter of 2025. You also need to place a $CDN200 deposit on both the watch and the iPhone. So you need to have an extra 400 available that you don't need until Q1 2025! So I am skipping it until next year.

Thanks for another great review! I wanted to ask, does AW10 misses any watch screens compared to Ultra?

New watch faces look great but they don’t support complication. I don’t understand why they keep doing this

Does the Jet black Series 10 scratch as easily as the Jet black iPhone 7 ?

i am very interested in this watch never owned an apple watch before how good is it for golf yardages etc lookin for an everyday watch that i can use on the golf course for stats how good is it ? anyone know ? thx cheers from Canada

“Regret Typing this List Out” 😂😂😂😂

I am surprised you didn't mention the changes to the custom workout for running. now it tells you via color if you in the desired target pace, heart rate or power. very cool and something seriously need before.

The training load feature is a nice addition. Now they need to break it down to aerobic and anaerobic training so I can see if I am lacking training in a certain area.

Thank you so much for covering the maps aspect. That’s my main interest in getting an Apple Watch but I see no one really care about that.

What do you think about the battery, how many hours less do you get if you use maps? Let say that you used it 2 times a day (30 min) each time.

iI like your shirt

I was snorkeling this week (still on Watch OS 10) and had the same problems with the Dive app. I stumbled upon Apple's support article "Log your underwater activity with Apple Watch Ultra" and they say you can have 1 long snorkeling if you keep Water Lock on more than 3 minutes.

"Ending a dive
Your Apple Watch Ultra starts tracking your dive after you’ve exceeded the minimum depth and time. Dives end under the following conditions:

Dives of less than 3 minutes: The dive ends when you come to the surface and press and hold the Digital Crown to turn off Water Lock, or your Apple Watch Ultra has been out of the water for 10 minutes.

Dives of more than 3 minutes: The dive ends when you come to the surface and press the Action button, turn off Water Lock, or have been out of the water for 10 minutes.

If you descend again within 10 minutes without pressing the Action button, your time underwater is added to the previous time you were submerged and is logged as a single dive."

No it’s not worth the upgrade, thanks. NEXT

Surely seeing as it only uses breathing data then sleep apnea can be detected using pre s10 ultra2 watches with a 3rd party app?

I feel special for having an ultra 2 with the o2 sensor and still seeing the 5th data point for vitals 😂

I am still undecided. That watch would be great for sleep tracking but having to charge it everyday is a hassle. The Ultra has 2-3 days battery but is just so chonky for me.

I wonder how the battery performed given all the activities you have done

I'm convinced Apple devs + PMs haven't been outdoors.

Thanks!

Thanks for the review. Have a Garmin and moved to Ultra… do you think this regular apple watch can last through longer workouts or a marathon through the evening (w/o charging). Even the Ultra gets drained after longer sessions.

Awesome & Thanks :)

Thanks Ray. Best regards Martin

How is GPS battery life? I’m curious to know if it would last me a marathon while playing music, or while on cellular? I like the lightweight form factor but with marathon training I’m wondering if ultra is the way. And to those who will undoubtedly chime in, yes I have a garmin, but my family wants cellular.

Great comparison again Ray!

Still doubting about the bigger screen with my 17cm wrists😅

What is your wrist size for comparison?

I really need a watch that can detect blood sugar

Does the battery even last a whole day after 3 years?

Still not enough to make me give up my Fenix 6, and neither is the Fenix 8 (Garmin have blown it with the price there I think). Stick with the 6 for another year or so.

I swear, I wanted to love this watch 😢

Thank U so much ! Are you going to review the new Suunto Ocean ? 😊

I have the Apple Watch SE and it still has everything I need except for the battery life… it’s so bad

Really liked your T-shirt man… pasta🍝 love!!
Btw, is it worth it to upgrade to AW10 from Fenix 5x Plus?

Can you already tell if the jet black watch scratches as easily as the iPhone 7?✨

Hi, How come amazfit t-rex 3 is ignored?

But does the satin black scratch????

I just feel like for a sleep apnea to be detected, it will need an oxygen sensor.

Love the in depth reviews you give. Thank you for keeping the quality of your analysis high, and airing what you would like to see them add - it's great insight for those of us who don't get to use all the different platforms. It really gives me insight into what is great across every platform. (And hopefully incentives Apple to improve!!)

Apple and Google are clearly coming after Garmin for fitness. While most of my running and cycling friends use Garmin right now, if battery life keeps improving and they keep adding features, it's going to be hard to keep people from leaving their given ecosystem (Apple, Google, Samsung)

Do not upgrade above Series 7. Done.

Maps and stats in different apps YUK!

Thank you for another great review. I’m curious is there a space for Xiaomi Mi Band tests, comparing them to more expensive trackers? Can it be at least somehow a sports tracker for people who are on a budget? Or its accuracy is just very bad?

Series 10 is mad

T Rex 3 when ?

Great video. Thank you. Also First comment 😊

First

The huawei watch gt has the best battery life. You can get 10days out of it. Grts

Huwei watch gt4 far better than this two weeks battery and all health features

I jumped in the pool with it so I think I messed up

Can you connect this watch to an iPhone XR? So I can reply to messages from it on the phone. Aldo, what’s the res of the camera

Shovelling snow IS a workout! It counts the steps 😉

Actually the main drawback is it does not show accurate values u should compare with apple watch the results are very inaccurate cleverly avoided it hmm pretty marketing gimmick

Is it wrong id take a Dick Tracy watch over it?

Love the hoodie ❤

Can you respond to text or whatsapp msgs from it?

Anyone know if this can auto sync workouts from oneplus fit (or whatever the fitness software is called) to strava?

Amazfit gets about 9 days battery and that's gtr2!

Holy smoly, I like it. Oneplus is not so famous in my country, but already phone is great. Now, finally pretty good smartwatch for me. I dont need so many fitness things but battery power is really important for me. Thanks for review.

Will this work on iPhone 🤔 I’m assuming not, very interested though

Can you swim, do triathlon with it?

The Tic Watch Pro 5 can go for 4 days on one charge.

nice presentation sir.
This watch is beautiful.

Garming walks in to the room with 14 days of battery.

I wouldn't be surprised if the delay on the notification is to just save battery life. Like "here's a buzz, so you know you got something, but I won't fire up the screen until you actually turn your wrist at look."

who's car were you tapping the watch on? Is the official Military testing technique

did it leave a rust spot on the urinal truck when you tapped it lol

For a PROPER no bs review, watch the QULIFIED SCIENTIST review for this watch. And grow up.

1:32 Tests shock on a Cyber truck 🗿

Carry the one

Please don't start the videos with such a loud music!

Hey man, have you ever reviewed the huawei watch gt? I get over 2 weeks of use with it in regular use.

I guess garmin watches doesnt count as smartwatches?

So this vs the pixel watch 2? Which one would you get?

Soon to be tickwatch replacement

Cant get over the claims that this is an apple paid influencer

dual OS is a stupid hack, we should optimize operating systems (Wear OS is open-source)

I live my one olus 12 16 gb. If i didnt have an amazing garmin smart watch id get one plus watch in a heartbeat. They have my support.

You have bollocks settings on the display.

So. 60 or 70 years ago, when cartoons a Sci Fi envisioned "wrist worn communication devices", every one that I can think of had one feature that no one today is even talking about. Live video communication. Today's super duper and super expensive "smart" watches don't even have a camera! Why is this acceptable, let alone the standard!!! And for high hundreds of $$$. Smart watches, even with all the fancy health sleep and fitness tracking features, are nothing but hype and "cool". The majority of people don't work out. Has to be taken off to charge (if they had usbC ports, you could at least charge it, while wearing, sitting watching TV or on computer or whenever else you're not moving around a lot), screen is too small to be truly "easy" to use (there's a reason why phones are getting bigger), the sound is, well,,, what can you expect from a tiny disk?! These devices are trying to do everything a huge smartphone does, but poorly. But let's go back to video calls and cameras. Why are these missing? A feature that could truly revolutionize these devices and communication are just. Not. There! We got sold a trinket as a treasure. We literally bought the lie of the promise (see Tesla Full Self Driving lol).

But does it allow you to play music directly on the watch offline? Looking for a watch that does that without needing youtube or spotify.

100 hours battery life... meanwhile my Garmin smartwatch with a very similar screen (and probably much more durable) has about 240 hours of battery life. My old one had about 150 left after 5 years of daily use.

Between the OP watch and GW6 Classic 43, which would you prefer?

Can it work if you own an iphone?

I do not want to be dumb but I am affected by Green line issue in my one plus 8T phone, does this watch has that?

waterproof?

300 dollars for step and heartbeat counter? Lol no ecg, no arrhythmia detection... Lol! I can find the same for 150$. Who cares about if it has two or ten chips..? Health monitoring is poor

What about the ticwach?🫣

I know it's not from a smartphone company but I do wonder why most people never compare the garmin watches to these. Their focus is a bit different, mostly on sports but they do basically everything else with most annoying exception is they won't use google pay >:(

It is ready for Water sports?On Salt water?Many Thanks

Why cant they make it like huawei watch they last up to 14 days

What phone is this 5.55?

up to 100 hours :) congratulations from the owner of Garmin Epix Pro 51mm. you still need to catch up about 18 days :)




This watch really wants OPPOwatch X

Does this watch have quick notes app in it??

Nice but not worth the price $300.. way over priced

Can this watch show multiple time zones?

too big :/

I love my Oneplus watch 2 nordic blue 😎

Pixel Watch 2's 24 hours battery is with AOD on. Google said it themselves. Other companies like OnePlus will say 100hrs but but that's with AOD off.

The future upcoming OnePlus/Oppo might have a hybrid processor too. 🤔
It's revolutionary in the smartphone market.
The time gonna comes when smartphone chips won't be able to get more powerful while maintaining the same size and power consumption. So, having a powerful chip at the cost of more battery (in particular usage) could be a great feature.

AMAZFIT BALANCE.

I'm wearing a Huawei GT 2 I've been wearing it for a week and a half and I've got 39% left, when are the rest of the smart watches going to match that?

Can you text with this watch?

The performance is pretty good. If you have time, please pay attention to our BWOO brand watches. Thank you.😘

It's just that it doesn't have lte

i get 50+ hours on my watch 6 classic straight. but i use it for time and notifications mostly. some hart tracking to. but i get like 60 hours i guess

Is compatible to iphone?

looks pretty good watch

why cant we get one with lte why Mobvoi why One Plus why why why????

Garmin Fenix. Period.

I want a smartwatch for someone who 99.9% of the time just wants to know what time it is and never wants to worry about charging his fucking watch?

Can you review the garmin smart watches ??

Reminds me of the Motorola moto x. It had two chips as well. Fast processor and an efficient processor. The efficient CPU was used when the screen was off. Lock screen notifications, sensor updates, and my first device with always listenIng google assistant. I think it also did all the native language processing. Easily one of my favorite phones I ever had. Why is this not more of a thing?

Does this work well with a Pixel 8 Pro?

Laughs with a 15 day battery life on my Amazfit GT3 Pro... Also, Always on Display gets me 5 solid days with exercises in between by using GPS (6 sat position)for 30-60min.

what about huawei 2 weeks ??

It looks quite big on the wrist, as someone in a trade on the tools I'm not a fan of huge watches.

can you share a comparison grid to the Pixel and Fitbit Sense 2? Thanks.

Alrighty I'll get one for the sake of not having to buy another Fitbit.

Is the battery radioactive ☢️

What i learn from one plus is that apple and samsung overprice their tech. Very soon im looking forward to getting the one plus 12 and the watch. Cant wait. Love all of your content bro!! Definitely my favorite! Just a request, would love to see more car/truck content.

Hm my amazfit gtr has a 40 days battery life, all i need is the time, date function, timer to wake me up by vibration after 20 minutes and of course the pipboy watchface from fallout 😅 turned the other stuff off bc it's annoying...

Do people actually need smart watches? Like what's the one thing you really need this for. Genuine question. I've bought a few and I prefer to wear my old fashioned watch

I have a Huawei Watch GT4 and i literally forget to charge it for like 2 weeks.

Can you review the Forerunner 965 by Garmin?

2:19 huawei gt 3 pro battery: 2 weeks... no wonder they banned them

Been loyal to the brand for the last 6 years and gotta say their smartphones are solid.

How did you reach 177 heart rate !!! 💪🏻👌🏼

Bro doesn't knows about Huawei and Amazfit watches 😭

Wow They finally are using wearos, this watch is pretty sick. One wonders if Google can make a battery life like this

Why does everyone pass over the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro which I have been using for 3 years and still get 6-7 days of usage with the always on display and wireless charging? It is like this watch doesn't even exist? Oh, let's not forget, constant heart monitoring as well. This watch has been memory holed.

Ive got an Huawei watch S1
I love it and the battery is still awsome. But i want the oneplus watch so bad now haha. Ive got the oneplus 11 and think its awsome phone !

Battery life is nothing compared to Garmin

love my Huawei GT3 Pro it gets me 1 week of battery life.

Is there a good apple watch alternative with iPhone compatibility?😅

I'm still not seeing how this would be a better purchase than a galaxy watch 5 pro.

oppo (oneplus) designed this hybrid from Ambiq+Snapdragon (gen<3) to BES+Snapdragon(gen>4) for latest oppo watch 4 and X series , 0neplus just leveraged this hybrid core with watch X ID and renamed to oneplus watch 2 (= oppo watch X) for overseas market with RTOS + Android hybrid, if you try to compare watch with iOS/android platform for power consume , try to bench Huawei series (GT) with Harmony OS for better battery life. Always include Huawei platform ( phone/watch ..) into benching, since its technology comes from China completely and may outperform western solutions.

How much are you using your watch, my galaxy watch 3 goes easily a week of what should be normal usage for a watch in normal power modes. I've had it for years on the original battery and have never had a single issue minus it still runs tizenOS

My $44 Yamay battery lasts for weeks.

I love how he said they had to tell him to turn off the always on display OFF to get 2 more days. Like who in the heck is sleeping with this watch on with the always on display lit up in bed? LMAO 😂

This is slightly more than Tesla key-fob and with teh Tesla software a lot more powerful, in a day I can tell you I go to the car and darn forgot my cell phone just to unlock it, yes Tesla has a Key card, but getting that out is almost as troublesome as getting my cell phone. Let me think on it, may be something that I would like, I love the tech!

If we want to talk about battery life we definitely need to take the Xiaomi Watch s3 into account. Claimed 15 days battery life blows any smart watch out of the water with pathetic 1-2 days battery.
Especially since testers have reported getting a week out of the watch even with heavy usage and always on display.

You just going to ignore the Venu 3 from garmin? I get a week minimum from a single charge in standard mode with full sleep tracking with SpO2 enabled.

I'm reading about it in Computer Act!ve magazine, but what watch faces are available please?

I would have liked to have more info in this video besides the battery life.

this vs garmin foreunner 265?
