I Used Apple Watch Ultra WITHOUT an iPhone...

I think Apple has unintentionally opened the door for a new type of audience to exist. I bought an Ultra and I have left my house multiple times now without my phone and I’m loving the feeling. I could definitely see myself using it in place of my phone for an extended period of time no problem. It sounds dumb, but I kind of feel a bit naughty every time I do it. 😂 At the same time, you begin to realize how much time you waste scrolling through nonsense on a phone.

Been a while I've watched unbox therapy, great to see content is still top tier.

This video was very interesting for me. I just got this watch as a non-watch person. I have a habit of leaving my phone at my deck at work, not a huge issue until I lose track of time and start missing meetings. I have now left my phone at home a few times on accident and felt fine with it. It confirms more and more that I am able to get closer to my goal of looking at my phone less and less. I may wear the watch more at home now so I can leave my phone in the bed room.

Love love love this, Lew! Amazing how watch features we used to only see in scifi are all slowly becoming the norm. Someone put a screen projector in smartwatches already!💯💯💯

This is a positive change in type of content. Please create more of this!

I think this is what we want to see from tech reviewers to experience tech products in real life

We need more of this type of content from this channel! It's gold!

I got mine this week. So in love with design and functionality.

The fact that a watch (from Apple, Google, Samsung, etc...) can stay connected over cellular is one of the most underrated features, IMO. I've been doing it since the days of the LG Watch Urbane & I can't go back to Bluetooth-only Smartwatches. Do I use the cellular connectivity all the time? No, but when I need it, I'm glad it's there. I like the freedom of knowing that if I accidentally leave my phone inside I don't need to go back & get it to maintain some basic features like SMS, calls, payments. It's also a nice way to disconnect a little while outside. Sure, I'll still get notifications, but without a phone, I know my interactions will be limited & that can be a good thing.

Next Apple Watch is gonna be called Apple Watch Pro Ultra Mega Super Max

Nando’s is South African 🇿🇦🔥 great to see you enjoying the food!

The fact that’s it’s so easy to text either by typing , swiping or voice makes it super useful jeje I could never quite get used to typing with the other ones

This is the video I’ve been looking forward to ever since the first smartwatch was created

I ordered the Ultra specifically for this purpose back on launch day. I even went as far as porting my number to an Apple Watch Family Setup line to get rid of the phone tether completely (except for initial setup and occasional updates). I miss out on a bunch of Apple Watch features, but music, calls, text messages, nav and the rest of my essentials are available. It's been great to look up and see the world a lot more often. This type of lifestyle is not for everyone, but I've noticed my stress and anxiety have gone way down and my enjoyment of life has gone way up!

i find it fascinating hearing your thoughts on being phoneless, which i can safely assume would mimic most people's experiences seeing how completely attached we are to our phones daily. how quickly humanity has adapted to havinga smartphone with one at all times. to the point where it almost feels like an extension of our bodies, an extra limb we have acquired (represented in your explanation of "i feel like i'm missing something") it's almost ironic that with the introduction of a smartwatch like the apple watch which we initially assumed would cause us to be EVEN MORE attached to our phones and our social apps and consuming content at an even more rapid and immediate pace, made peopel start to explore the idea of detaching from the non essential features of phones and only keeping the absolute necessary. the only difference between that and just going with a "dumb" phone is that you can actively select in a way the things you consider essential rather than just assuming it's phones and texting. something like GPS navigation has become essential in my life and something i would incredibly miss from going phoneless. I have already began detaching from many social media sites and online activities and trying to focus more on real world experiences, hoping to one day indeed go phoneless and detach from the internet like the old days. but navigation and maps always was a heavy dependence for me. hopefully with the ultra (which i am planning on buying primarily as a fitness tracker within the apple ecosystem) will help me accelerate the detoxing of internet distractions great video Lew!

Really appreciate this.. Please make a video on living with these as alternatives... cause this probably will be future anyway.. 1) Phone -> Smart Cellular Watch 2) Camera (also Action Cameras), All types of Screens, Earphones -> Smart Glasses 3) TV, Home theatre -> Portable (Projector + Speaker) something like Samsung freestyle 4) Laptop -> (Tablet + Single Board Computer) like Raspberry pi 5) All Chargers & Data Cables -> Wireless Power & Data transfer (Something similar to AirPower maybe)

As an app developer, I'll take this video 100% to heart. And make sure any future projects I work on, I'll push for a better smart watch interface to make it a better experience for the user :) Even not having their phone :)

ngl playing ice hokey part was impressive , and I loved how truly lew and the crew implemented all the activity from smallest to the biggest details that was massive video I guess and I love seeing it being done by the leader UT , the community is so proud guys

yes. I am curious to replace phone with watch.. I wish I had this watch... Great video ... really love the idea of day without phone without loosing connectivity

This was quite interesting. I knew there were serious expectations for the new Ultra Watch series, but I think your experiment exceeded that. Apple does a pretty great job! Now we’d love to see it put to the test outdoors, skiing, surfing, mountain climbing, scuba diving, etc. I’m curious to see how it holds up. Either way, great job by Apple, and great job on your content! Been with you since the beginning, glad to see other people enjoy your videos now too.
