00:00- The $250 Apple Watch SE
00:02versus the $900 Apple Watch Ultra.
00:04Is it really worth spending
that much money on this watch?
00:07Today, we'll find out.
00:08We'll test the battery life,
00:09features and functionality,
00:10and is it really worth
spending that much more
00:12for a better, better watch?
00:13in today's, 'Day in the Life'.
00:15- Brother, it's noon.
00:16- Okay, fine 'Afternoon in the Life',
00:18we're expediting the process,
00:19but we're still gonna be
testing everything overall.
00:22If you've watched my channel before
00:23you know I love Apple Pay.
00:26We're gonna head to a coffee shop
00:27and see, will Apple Pay work
on both of these watches?
00:30And I'm gonna make sure
to leave my phone at home,
00:32because we don't want internet
connection on either device.
00:35on a nice New York cup of coffee
00:36using these watches?
00:37So my son here Tejas,
00:39is a devout follower
of the Apple Watch SE,
00:42and he kind of actually
inspired me to get it,
00:43cause I was like do I really
need to spend all this money
00:46I did end up getting the 40 millimeter SE,
00:48which is the smallest size.
00:49It looks real cute on my wrist.
00:51He has the 44 millimeter SE,
00:53and then this is the 49 millimeter Ultra.
00:55So that's what we're using.
00:56This is the non cellular model.
00:58So it's the cheapest Apple
Watch SE you can buy.
01:00This is the absolute most
expensive Apple Watch Ultra
01:03- What more do I need?
01:04I just need my rings to be closed
01:06- Why didn't you get the ultra?
01:08- It's worth 700 more dollars.
01:10All I do is check my
rings and see the sun.
01:13- You're right. I could
buy four of these watches
01:15versus one of these,
01:16so I could have a entire
family of Apple watches.
01:18- What more does this do than that?
01:21(Apple Pay dinging)
- The action button.
01:21- Stay till the end to find out
01:23- Now that we're outside,
01:24the brightness of these two
screens definitely the Ultra has
01:26just a tad bit more brightness
01:27but not as bright as this guy.
01:29But overall you can see
both screens really well out
01:32When you're outside walking around
01:34- You need that extra brightness I guess.
01:35(Laughing)
It's legible.
01:37- If there's any smart watch
01:38or smart finish tracker out there
01:39I would say the Apple
Watch SE beats the screen
01:42Apple Watch SE'S at a 100%
and the Ultra's at 67%.
01:44There's no phone connection on the SE,
01:46but we do have cellular
on the Apple Watch Ultra.
01:48So it might drain a little more battery,
01:49but we'll see how the
battery drains over time.
01:51- [Tejas] Can I do a
small cappuccino please?
01:56- And can I also do an apple turnover?
01:57- Whatever you want bro.
01:59Apple watch SC Apple Pay no phone.
02:03Do you guys take Apple Pay?
02:04Do you take Apple Pay?
02:04Do you take Apple Pay?
02:07Alright.
(Apple Pay dinging)
02:08So, so far payments getting
food and drinks works
02:13And guess what? You saved $750 with this.
02:16Imagine how many coffees I
could buy in New York City.
02:18Apple turnover for the Apple video.
02:22- From what I've read,
02:2380% of the features are pretty consistent
02:25on the SC and the Ultra.
02:27There are some small things here and there
02:28that are gonna be different.
02:29So the Apple Pay took 0% of
battery so far on either device.
02:32Oh the Ultra has dropped 1%.
02:35- The SE has stayed at 100
02:36and because I've already been here,
02:38it's already connected to
the coffee shop's wifi.
02:40So what's really neat is I
can actually send and receive
02:43text messages on my Apple watch SC
02:45without needing cellular,
02:47because I've already
been to this coffee shop.
02:49It knows the password
and it already connected.
02:52How are you doing, big guy?
02:54I just asked her to send a
message and my phone is not here.
02:58We left it at the house, right?
02:59Phone's not here, it's at the house.
03:01It says it's gonna send.
03:02I say all right, confirm.
(Delivering message)
03:03So it was delivered right here.
03:05(message receiving)
- Oh.
03:08- Wow.
- So even just having
03:09coffee shop wifi I can
send send, receive messages
03:11and do FaceTime audio calls.
03:12- Sent with Siri
- Sent with Siri.
03:14So that's pretty powerful.
03:15I don't know if you even
need cellular at this point
03:17but you can pay $50 extra for that.
03:19Use my link below.
- Oh really?
03:20You get your own, a new number?
03:21- No, it links to your number.
03:22It becomes technically a
second number but it like
03:24the, your carrier will use
special like number sharing to
03:27link it all together and
then you have one number
03:29Now it's time to go get lunch.
03:31I know we just finished
breakfast but that's okay.
03:32And the win, of the Apple
Watch Ultra having cellular
03:35means that I can use navigation and maps.
03:38Navigate to the nearest Chipotle.
03:40Whereas, if I do it on the SE,
03:41- [Siri] The nearest Chipotle..
03:42- Navigate to the nearest Chipotle.
03:44Because we actually left wifi
I won't be able to do it,
03:46but I think if I pulled it
up beforehand I would have.
03:48So maybe you want to use
wifi, get directions,
03:51but there are no offline
Apple maps so we need that.
03:53Or if you just know where
you're going, you'll be fine.
03:55- So as you guys remember
from the last video
03:57with us taking a test,
my like knees and hips
04:01are all like wanked up.
04:02After that test man, I can't walk the same
04:04I'll be honest with you.
04:05Is this where data is having
too much of an affect?
04:07- What's the temperature
in New York in celsius?
04:09- [Siri] In New York
it's two degrees celsius.
04:11- Obviously I'm, we're
dressed for the weather,
04:13and I got my iced coffee,
cuz that's how we do it here.
04:16- You're from Irvine, California.
04:18- (chuckling) What do you
mean? I'm a New Yorker now.
04:20We are now at Chipotle, and
I think they saw my last
04:22Apple Watch video where
you couldn't use Apple Pay
04:24for the Chipotle rewards
and they added it.
04:26So now I have my Chipotle
rewards on both wrists.
04:29Let's go get double the points baby.
04:33Apple watch SE'S at 94% and
the Apple Watch Ultra's at 59%.
04:36So they both lost around six
to 7% battery life so far.
04:41So one of our friends is
coming to meet us right now,
04:43and the thing I love
about having my watch,
04:45is I can see on Find My
Friends how far away he is.
04:47He's about one mile away.
04:49If the Apple Watch SE
was a cellular model,
04:51I would be able to see that too,
04:52but I can only see it
on the Ultra right now
04:54and it's just a convenient way of knowing
04:56Alright, how far are my friends from me?
04:58We do a share live locations
and I like doing Find Friends.
05:02If you wanted me on Friend
Friends let me know.
05:03The difference is that
the Ultra has a U1 chip
05:05whereas the SE does not.
05:07So if I'm trying to find
objects, like air tags
05:09I can use my watch to find it.
05:11Whereas on the SC it doesn't support that.
05:13As well as cars that have the U1 chip,
05:14the ultra wideband chip.
05:16You can't use the SE for
that, but you can use
05:18the series eight and the ultra,
05:19- [Tejas] Wow.
- fun fact. Yeah.
05:21Do you have a car with ultra wide band?
05:25- So I don't have my phone,
but he texted me his order,
05:27and I'm gonna get, I'm
gonna order Chipotle
05:29Now the Chipotle rewards
is now on the watch,
05:31so I'm gonna do it. Pass
information here, scroll down.
05:33Can I use my Chipotle rewards?
05:36Boom. Credit card, Apple Pay.
(Apple Pay dinging)
05:39All on the Apple Watch SE, no phone.
05:41It's been about two-ish hours.
05:43The SE is at 90%, so 10% loss.
05:46And the Ultra is at 47%,
So that's about a 20% loss.
05:50This is using cellular, this
is not using any cellular.
05:53Alright, so we just finished lunch,
05:54and now we're gonna head home.
05:56We're gonna test out the workout features,
05:57how they're different.
05:58This has an action button, this does not.
06:00We'll test the water resistance features,
06:02cuz this can go scuba diving, this cannot.
06:04And lastly, we're gonna get
a little bit of work done.
06:05So how does the Apple
Watch impact my workday?
06:08Let's head back to my office.
06:09Now we are back home.
06:10Phone has not left and
neither has Apple Pay.
06:13(apple crunching)
(Apple Pay dinging)
06:14Now we're gonna go to the
computer, get some editing done.
06:16One of my favorite features
with the Apple Watch,
06:18it works on all of 'em is
the unlock your MacBook.
06:21So now that I'm here,
06:21we're gonna hit the
keyboard to power this on.
06:23Unlocking with Apple
Watch. It says right here.
06:25So now it shows unlocked
by this Apple watch,
06:28and we're good to go.
06:28So it works with the Apple Watch SE
06:30and it works with the Ultra.
06:31I don't need to type in my password
06:33I don't need to type in a
touch ID, it just works.
06:36So, now I'm gonna get some
work done on my computer.
06:38Apple Watch made it super easy to get in.
06:39Oh shoot, we actually have to
go work out soon, don't we?
06:42I'm gonna go shower first and
then we'll get a workout in.
06:44Now when it comes to water resistance
06:46the Apple Watch Ultra obviously
is a scuba diving watch,
06:49and you can go much deeper in the ocean.
06:51Whereas the SC, probably a pool is fine,
06:53but let's be honest, how many of us
06:55are actually going scuba diving?
06:56I still shower with both watches
06:58been pretty fine, get Apple Care.
07:00But when it comes to water
07:00for most scenarios for
most people you'll be fine.
07:04So we're gonna engage a run.
07:05I'm gonna press open
right here, start workout.
07:09I'm gonna tap it to start,
tap the action button,
07:12Both devices are gonna
track my heart rate,
07:15as well as distance and pacing.
07:17The thing that I don't
like about these two,
07:18is the wrist based optical sensors.
07:20Any wrist based heart rate monitor is
07:21not gonna be super accurate.
07:23So the best thing to do is you
grab a chest heart rate strap
07:25and you can connect this to both of them.
07:27The SE does have an older
optical heart rate sensor
07:29whereas the Ultra has a newer one.
07:31So maybe you'll get slightly
more accurate numbers.
07:33Like right now I see 131
and 132 pretty close.
07:36I'm in zone two, but anytime
I'm doing heart rate training
07:38I always wear the chest
heart rate strap just
07:40cuz I know I can trust this.
07:42Whereas these ones I can't trust as much.
07:44So it's not just heart rate
monitoring that's different,
07:48This has a dual band which a
series eight and SE do not.
07:51And because I live in a city
with tall towers and buildings
07:53classic one band GPS
might not be as accurate.
07:56So if that's a big
important factor for you,
07:58you want to go with the ultra.
08:00I'm checking the distance
0.23 on the Ultra.
08:04Pretty freaking close
to be honest with you.
08:06Pacing wise 917 on the SE,
08:13I don't know why the pacing is so far off.
08:14If you do a lot of outdoor exercises,
08:17and knowing your distance and pacing
08:18closer to almost perfect
is important to you
08:21that's where the high price
of the ultra comes in.
08:23But I think for the average person,
08:24who's just trying to be
healthy, live a good life,
08:27and get most of their workouts tracked,
08:29the SE is honestly a
freaking great option.
08:32But we're stuck at the
stop light right here.
08:34And what's really nice is they're
08:36both pausing and starting
at the same exact time.
08:38So because I stopped running,
they both say pause now.
08:41So we're literally running
to the gym cuz I'm late
08:43and I'm about to do a
strength training workout.
08:45When it comes to strength
training workouts
08:46both watches are pretty
good, cuz you're not
08:48really tracking distance,
it's mostly heart rate.
08:50And Apple Watch, from
what I've read online,
08:52has some of the best heart rate sensors.
08:54Strength training is really hard to grab
08:56good heart rate, cuz your
arms are always moving.
08:58The other big difference
is blood oxygen sensing.
09:02So the Apple Watch Ultra
has oxygen as well as EKG.
09:05Whereas the SE does not.
09:06Those are really neat features,
09:07and they can be lifesaving
features for a lot of people,
09:10but for the most part
they're not necessary.
09:13If you had the money,
09:14I'd consider it as like 'insurance'.
09:16So you can measure these metrics,
09:18but for the average person
they might not be needed.
09:21So if you can't afford it, the
SE is still a great choice.
09:23Distance and pacing update.
09:240.59 on the SE and 0.60 on the Ultra.
09:28So they're pretty freaking
close together right now.
09:30142, 150 heart rate on each one.
09:32Battery update we are at 48%
on the ultra, 96% on the SE.
09:37I did charge it for a little
bit of a software update.
09:41So when it comes to ending the run,
09:42I have to press both buttons here to pause
09:44and then swipe to end.
09:45Same thing with the
Ultra, I press two buttons
09:47and it pauses and then I can
swipe over and hit end here.
09:50We got 0.7 miles versus 0.67 miles
09:521154 PACE versus 1129 PACE.
09:55And now I'm gonna save these,
09:56and go ahead and do my
strength training workout.
09:58And then let's see what else.
09:59It's still different cuz
there's still one more thing
10:02I think makes a big drastic
difference between the two.
10:04Now that we're at home,
at the end of the day
10:06I like to watch my own YouTube videos.
10:07But one thing I do love
about the Apple Watch
10:09is being able to text my friends back.
10:11And the one downside of the SE
10:13is it doesn't have a keyboard.
10:14You have to either use the swipe or
10:16use your voice to write the message.
10:18Whereas the app watch
Ultra and the series eight
10:20have a keyboard so I
can go ahead and swipe
10:22as well as type on the
little keyboard here.
10:25And that just gets me more accuracy,
10:26cuz you know Siri works, sometimes,
10:28but it doesn't always get the best audio.
10:30When it comes to telling time.
10:31Both of these watches
are pretty good at it.
10:34Whatever watch face you have
10:35usually the time will be on there.
10:36And for the most part I've noticed
10:38that the time accuracy is pretty good.
10:39For overall in terms of battery,
the Apple Watch SC is rated
10:42for 18 hours and the Apple
Watch Ultras rated for 36 hours.
10:45So this obviously has
a bigger battery life
10:47and that's one of my favorite features.
10:49Whereas the SE you're gonna
have to charge it more often.
10:50So if you're okay with
charging your watch more often,
10:52the SE's totally fine.
10:53I I do try to get in the
habit of charging my watch
10:56in the morning as well as at night,
10:57and then that overall
keeps the screen going.
10:59This also does have an always on display
11:01but I never turned it on just
11:02cause I'm trying to save as
much battery as possible.
11:03Whereas the SE does not
have the always on display.
11:06So it can be valuable, right?
11:07If you wanna see the
watch screen and what's
11:09on your display without
having to flick your wrist
11:11or tap the screen, it's
not always perfect.
11:13So the always on display can help mitigate
11:14those issues where you're like, hey,
11:16and you can't get the screen to turn on.
11:18Now let's look at the
battery usage overall
11:19in the past few hours.
11:20Obviously, the Ultra has less battery
11:22cause it didn't charges as much,
11:23but the SE decline was much slower
11:25than the Ultra decline,
11:26and that's due to the fact
that I was using cellular
11:29on the Ultra whereas the SE was just
11:30disconnected from my phone.
11:32So overall battery life, if
you're using the cellular
11:34you're gonna destroy your battery.
11:36Whereas, if you're not using cellular,
11:37it'll drain much slower.
11:38Alright, now the three biggest differences
11:40for me are the battery life.
11:41The battery life is much
better on the ultra,
11:43if you're not using cellular.
11:44The health features,
11:45so the Apple Watch Ultra
has EKG oxygen, as well
11:48as body temperature, So
when you're sleeping.
11:49And lastly the action button.
11:51Having precision start in my runs
11:52as well as another button to be able to
11:53execute different tasks on the
watch is extremely valuable.
11:56A lot of the third party apps
don't have support for it yet,
11:58so I'm hoping that that rolls out soon.
12:00But if you don't need those three things,
12:01then honestly the Apple
Watch SE is probably
12:03the best smartwatch out on the
market and it's super cheap.
12:07Now I'm gonna go to bed.
12:08And there's one thing that these
bulk watches do really well
12:10and that is sleep tracking.
12:11Obviously the SE, at a smaller form factor
12:14is much easier to sleep with,
12:15if you can't sleep with
something big on your wrist.
12:17It took me a couple more nights.
12:18I got used to it and I forgot about it,
12:19but I've been wearing
the Ultra on my wrist
12:21And they both have the same
sleep tracking algorithm.
12:24It's super easy to see your sleep,
12:25and both super fast, so you're able to
12:26maneuver all the apps very quickly.
12:28The one upside of the ultra is
the skin temperature sensor.
12:30If you're trying to do any
kind of period tracking or data
12:32on your body temperature,
the Ultra has that benefit.
12:35I haven't seen any insights
built on top of that just yet,
12:38but if you want something to
track your sleep, your fitness,
12:40a little smartphone on your wrist
12:42the SE does all those things.
12:43The Ultra just adds some extra features.
12:45And if you're a power user,
this might be the way to go.
12:48Since you enjoy this video,
12:49go watch my actual Day
in the Life video of
12:51the Apple Watch Ultra right here.
