Buddy probably has a click bait face for his passport photo. It's getting old.
I want this. It's time to upgrade from series 4
All respect to people doing this segment. But Because YouTube Ads are so annoying I don't want to be spammed with ads just to watch this.

Only 6 months back I bought Apple Watch Ultra 2 Cellular 49mm and have bought many Titanium straps as well. Only thing that I miss is Bloop Pressure Monitor (even if it is like Samsung approach by regularly calibrating the Watch with Cuff based BP Monitors) and Blood Sugar. If they introduce these two in Apple Watch, I may buy one in the future. I waited almost 10 years to get my first Apple Watch which has almost all the things that I needed yet, premium looking. Bit expensive though hence I need to keep it at least for 7-8 years. I kept my Samsung Galaxy Gear S3 WiFi-BT for almost 7-8 years. Not sure Whether X will still hold the older watch straps. Apple Watch Strap mechanism in my Ultra 2 is one of the best approach I have ever seen
We haven't seen drastic year-over-year changes in years. Watch Series 0 to 3 have the same design, 4 to 6 the same and 7 to 9 the same. Initially, the iPhone had a two-year cycle (apart from the original one), 3G and 3GS, 4 and 4S, 5 and 5S, from 6 to 8 it was actually even 4 years, although it was also year X, and then from X it was a 3-year cycle. So what drastic changes does this make for a year? The last drastic change was PowerPC, where the PowerMac G4 varied significantly from model to model. Also iMac G3, G4, G5, but those were different times. New technologies appeared, such as better and cheaper LCDs, which forced changes. There has been no innovation for years, technologies have matured, and change for the sake of change is not in Apple's DNA. If the change does not introduce anything useful, there is no point in changing it.
Keep in mind that the Ultra is not designed for you: is an adventure watch meant to replace many devices, including your submariner for divers, we need as big a watch as possible. Therefore, this is like asking for a smoother riding F1 car because you mistaken purchased one as your daily driver. That’s not to say you can’t use an Ultra as a regular Apple Watch, only that you’re not the target audience.
So what is it that you want from a phone that you’re not getting? Smart Phones are a mature product, there’s nothing else you can get or “innovate” out them using current tech. In other words, expecting a phone to transport you like Star Trek is simply not realistic. This is what phones are, there’s nothing drastic left to squeeze out of them for a decade or more on the hardware side.
YouTube Premium is really worth it for heavy users, but remember that the ads (of which there are not many), support the channel revenue.
We’re unlikely to see drastic upgrades anytime soon, and possibly not this decade. I wish they would make the heart rate monitor a little more accurate. The next big sensor will be blood glucose monitor, which will be a game changer for competitive athletes like myself, but that’s unlikely to be realized within the next 3-4 years.
I love his old videos of fixing old Macs. His new videos with rants and oh how dumb Apple is becoming just because they don't cater to his personal needs are quite annoying on the other hand. Very unbalanced and one-sided views in my opinion. Stopped watching him.
What an odd comment…
I bought it… for what it was intended — sports.
So how can you tell me it is not designed for me? I still wouldn't mind a smaller version.
Bizarre…
During the introduction of Apple Watch 2, there was already talk of measuring blood sugars.
So far I don't hear anything more about this, it doesn't seem to be in the picture at all.
I currently use Abbott's Freestyle librelink, to my satisfaction, but have been waiting for such a measurement capability on the Apple Watch for years. When can we expect this?

I know someone YT Creator would say this, but I don't care. YES, THESE DAYS THERE ARE MORE ADS than before..... People are getting over spam. I rather do without. That's why I no longer look at YouTube than before.
The durability is a pretty big reason why I use the Ultra. Not sure if the glass is actually more durable or if the design makes it less likely to get scratches, but I was always scratching the screen of other watch models. However, the Ultra is still pristine a year later.
A tech You Tuber with an uncanny ability to buy cheap Macs on eBay and do them up and sell them on. And he also bought an Apple Silicon Mac Pro for some reason even he doesn't know why lol.
Well this is what the Google support page says about Youtube Premium, so don't worry, your favorite creators are getting paid: "If you're a YouTube Premium member, you won't see ads, so we share your monthly membership fee with creators."
We have 3rd party Alpine Loop bands that are worn every day and they have all been very durable.
I like Luke Miami but sometimes it's good to have, for the sake of diversity, the female side of tech with authorities like iJustine
The Apple Watch is an interesting niche product that many people DO buy without actually needing it.
If it could unlock my Tesla in lieu of my iPhone, I would consider it for not having to lug around my phone all the time when I’m out. I really don’t need my phone on me 24/7 for people to have free access to me at all times.

Just another douchetuber with cringy thumbnails and nothing interesting to say.
I agree. What about all the people/kids with smaller wrists? I hope they still keep a smaller version as well.
ask you you shall receive ALF but dont think for a moment we don't know why you really want iJustine. you think we forgot about your history with crushes?
