Great review. I wonder if there’s been a software update to resolve some of those issues
Hit like, but I would like,..if you can, to review the app beachbody on that watch., programmes like lift4 for example…thanks.
I’m imagining the issues you found with the fitness tracking on Series 5 is due to software?? Can we get an update if this has improved since making this video?
Great Job I have Garmin Fenix 5s plus, Love my watch but I think I want a new watch.
Awesome review! Curious to know if software update has fixed most of these inconsistencies in July 2020.
Great video, very in-depth! This should have zero dislikes!!! I wish they had a watch like apple/whoop
FoCo? Nice I’m down in Denver. I went from Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire, to AW 3, AW 5, and I just came back to a Fenix 6 Sapphire; looking to validate my choice before I part with the Apple Watch!
I like how you actually went throughly to all the tests and explained everything in detail. This is what I’m looking for and am glad that I found this video. Thank you for all your hard work! Cheers
This is incredibly thorough thank you! Looking to get a wearable and this video helped a lot
Hey man. I’m currently using and have been for a while the garmin fenix 5x sapphire. Is it worth upgrading to the series 5 in your opinion?
Exactly what I was looking for. A review on the sports and fitness features.
Have to put in skipping rope, i scroll down and push on IT, but IT dont com in the aktivty
I have a problem, when I start any kind of sport the battery go low so fast!! Like 37% in one hour, is there something I can do about this?
Thanks for the detailed review! I’m gonna go with the series 4:)
Can you do a review of the neuroforce1 device? Great videos subscribed!
I blamed my watch, 12 years ago, & found out I had A-fib, not a cheap watch! Been doing what I’m supposed to, 73, & still breathing, but not significantly more. Bought the 5 cellular for falling down notifications! Getting Old is not for the faint of heart ❤️! Still checking! Good video!
Hi. Does the series 5. Show a chart for “fat burning zones”??
Question. First off thanks for this awesome review. With all of the variances in the AW5 to the 4, do you think it makes a drastic difference in calorie counting for the workout as a whole. A few seconds off hear and there? Just got the 5 mainly for the HR and workouts. Kinda bummed:( 4 is discontinued almost everywhere
Have you checked interference from the other watches if you were wearing on same wrist? As I used to have issues hiking with apple watch when it was near my dedicated GPS device.
How do you compare polar chest vs apple watch? As i want to check the accuracy of my apple watch series 2.
Great video btw. Subscribed.
Wow! I’m very impressed with your review. This is what I call a review
Great video, thank you. Do you know if there is an app for Duathlons? TY
I find that on two of the treadmills I’ve used, my Series 4 watch will end up running about half a mile “more” than the treadmill after a 5 mile run. Is there a way I can I calibrate this, or am I really just running more. Also, great video.
This must have been a lot of work. But it is so amazing to see the results. It was so helpful
Hi! Thanks for the video.
First, Is the series 3 better than 5? I terms of Heart rate
Second, is the Apple Watch( 3 or 5 ) a good sport smartwatch, I mean, I know the Garmin’s are better, have so much STADISTICS, but the Apple Watch have a reliable calories count, heart rate, etc? I’m sport guy, but I’m not professional and I’m not lookin so much big data in fitness.
I hope you can help mi.
SALUDOS!
I watch your review on a lot of products, the reviews are usually great… BUT.. the adverts in between your ads are for a company called LIT Solar, this company has taken hundreds of people’s money for these LIT Solar power banks and never sent any products out. You need to get these scammers taken off your videos via YouTube.
Luckily, the series 5 allows you to connect an external HR monitor so most of those issues can be resolved.
I’m really beginning to want the Series 5. I had a few series 1 & 2’s but gave up on them when I started running more seriously and have used Garmin since. I have the Fenix 5 Plus just now and have no complaints other than wanting some more smart features again. I don’t mind daily charging but losing GPS accuracy would be a big deal for me as I run A LOT.
Did you tried it again after the 2019 year review with DCRainmaker? Is it now on pair with s4 on data reliability? Bought mine a few months ago without seeing any review and im a little bit concerned on how much i can trust HR data on a daily basis:/
I always check your reviews before I go buy. Thanks for the great work!
Thanks for the review! what program are you using to graph your workouts on your video?
Thanks!
so i’m confused. if i get the GPS only, can i use just my watch and the nike running app? or do i have to get the GPS + cellular. essentially i’m tired of running with my phone in my hand and hoping the watch will resolve this.
Great review, thanks! 8 months later, is there any explanation for the inconsistencies in the series 5 heart rate monitor and GPS?
Wow what an in-depth review. Best one I’ve seen so far… So which watch do you go with for tracking sport activities seeing there are so many? Garmin, Polar, Apple..?
If the hr sensor isn’t that accurate, how can the ECG function be trusted?
Love the review I just got a series 5 coming from a series 1 so needed in-depth review of how well the fitness tracking is
Hi, just a question. How long does the series 5 take to lock onto GPS signal once you start an outdoor run? My Samsung Gear Fit 2 pro takes about 2-3 mins once you start an outdoor walk/run to acquire GPS lock until which time distance and speed is calculated by the number of steps I take.
By far the best review without any bias one way or the other. I’ve had my Series 5 for the last 4 months and love it, but I’m coming from a Series 1. Wish I had watched this prior, but still very happy with the purchase overall.
Just picked up series 5. Now unsure as I could’ve got the series 4 on discount. Hopefully these issues with the HR can be resolved with better algorithms after SW updates. Edit******great review btw. Incredibly in-depth
I have a series 3 and I attempted to use the workout app while doing the elliptical. It stops recording once my watch “locks” or my wrist turns. Do I have to leave it unlocked or something?
I’d love for you to give a small update to see if the software updates over the past half a year improved to the accuracy of the Series 5. I just got one and I’m very interested in using it for fitness, but this left a sour taste in my mouth. Please continue your videos with the in-depth points. Absolutely amazing man!
In conclusion it appears the Apple Watch Series 4 has the most accurate wrist based heart rate monitor.
It’s a shame that apple only sells the regular aluminum version in my country, no LTE, no titanium..
Fantastic reviews!! Liked and subscribed. Keep up the amazing work!
Would love a similiar review of the Suunto 7! (and yes, I saw DCrainmakers)
kudos for such an in depth review and all the effort put into it
love your videos, im waiting for the apple watch series 6 thats hopefully coming later this year. Still have my 3
How is that sportloop? Does the Nylon absorbs sweat and smells after a while?
Which smartwatch do you find more useful to swimming in pool?
What a truly balanced, informative and comprehensive review. You get a thumbs up sir!
I’m a figure skater and was told that series 5 has an app for skaters
This is easily the best Apple Watch review, much better than people who just read the spec sheet and read off all the new features
Could you compare Garmin Venu vs Apple Watch? It would be great to see it!
Good review Des, thanks. Ended up going with the series 5 watch.
This guy is really likeable and really good at what he does. Great job!
This is the best review I’ve seen for a smart watch. Just got my Series 5 Apple Watch yesterday to help me on my fitness journey and this helps me understand some things better. Happily subbed now. Eager to see your other reviews.
I’m just waiting for sleep tracking, longer battery and option to pair the thing with my expensive iPad Pro instead of only using iPhones:/
I noticed your distances were off between watches. How accurate is the 4 compared to the 3? I have a 3 and feel it’s terrible at distance
Can someone tell me if this is just de APPLE Watch Series 5 “standard”, and not the Nike version Series 5, right? Btw awesome review!!! Thank you so much

5. quick timers
6. extension apps

12. change texts to bold
Thank me later
Nice video! I got mine apple watch on iwatchclone.com. I always recommend them because of price and quality.
The Apple Watch is a fitness watch, LOL!! I don’t get why people don’t understand that! I love my watch because I do track my fitness daily but all the integration I found it included when I first got mine was so brilliantly done I really appreciated how useful it was. Let talk about the time I locked my keys AND phone in the car at the gas station….this watch saved my butt, LOL!!
Just wanted to say a big Thank You for this video, which introduced me to WorkOutDoors app.
I installed the app back in early Feb and did quite a lot of testing and (re)configuration of settings and screens.
Recently I have completed a two week through hike and used the app both to navigate the trail (following a route I had loaded) as well as record every day. Both worked really well.
During testing I experienced several unexpected and unexplained reboots of the app resulting in the data recorded so far that day being lost. This didn’t really affect navigation as such, but it would be a pain for those wishing to accurately accumulate statistics for training or documentary purposes.
My tip for dealing with this (if you have this problem) is to LOCK the screen (4 taps) at the start and unlock it at the end of the day.
You still get alerts but will be limited to the one screen and zoom level. This may not suit everyone but for long duration hiking (and I’d guess cycle touring) this is fine.
I did not have this reboot problem once in 15 days of hiking. It would still be nice if it was fixed but the cause may be complex.
One minor point was that the summary statistics at the end do not show cumulative ascent and descent which would have been nice, though the data is there if you care to add it all up yourself.
Overall I rate this app very highly and will be sending feedback to the developer with some insights gained along the way. Stay safe and keep healthy. [Apple Watch Series 5 WatchOS 6.2 now, 6.1 then]
Thanks for calling me out on the not bold text hahaha but just added it boss man. Appreciate the video.
I love the idea of the Apple watch and its functionalities but I hope Apple’s quest for thinner hardware is applied to the watch. Right now it looks like wearing a cheeseburger on my wrist. Too bulky for every day use.
which fucking idiot thinks an apple watch is like an iphone?
I have to tell you that at 72 years old I watched Nik and was so impressed he pushed me over the edge and I’m going to buy a new 5. If it wasn’t for him, I probably would have just passed. Thanks Nik.
who the fuck buys an apple-watch thinking its the same as an iPhone? that’s just dumb
1.5 million dislikes for Apple watch and 3 million for this video
Non sense, just get up and do ur work instead of telling SIRI to do that
So true, the day I didn’t charge it and it died it felt I was missing a limb
Someone who names their dog Apple is a true fan of the company
wait how do you know if you have the cellular version of the watch
Even if I switch off the wifi in settings(not control center) the watch keeps switching on wifi several times through the day randomly, and when I charge the watch and when I restart it. The annoying thing about it is I have the LTE version but when the wifi is activated it will not use the LTE anymore even if the wifi is not connected but just on. So Siri and all dictation won’t work as well, I have this problem for months and Apple still didn’t fix it.
Thank you for making this video! Out of all the ones I watched this by far the best one! You covered so many different uses for the Apple Watch and answered all of my questions! Thank you
jesus christ it’s garbage. I wanted to use it in order to leave my phone at home for jogging and swimming. Can’t even do that. Bloody hell.
I am supposed to be getting series 6 in October for my birthday am very grateful as I’ve wanted one since I watched the Apple Watch 0 keynote live when it was being released and I’m 12 years old
i dont now why i watch that and i dont have apple watch so yeah
Hii I am from India and a student currently studying in class 10th and really have a dream to wear an apple watch but can’t afford it if you can give me one like your old or if you have any extra used one,ghan also it will be really very very thankful and helpful to you brother

If you need this video to know what to do with your watch, just return it please.
Problem is they don’t have a lot of apps for proprietary reasons…
No, I will not answer calls on my watch, if I’m in a crowded place and it’s too loud, it’s just annoying and you look a bit weird.
What if I don’t have a fish tank, should I still get an apple watch? The struggle, you feel me…

Just picked up a series 4, my first apple watch. Thanks for these great tips.
Nicely done; very helpful for those of us who are tech challenged.
Which is the band colour with series 4? Is it grey(which grey) or it is fog? Is it original or third party? Please reply.
It’s hideous…square…effeminate. Nothing wrong with that necessarily…but I want a watch on my arm that also happens to be smart…not a computer that masquerades as a watch. Samsung has it right…but it’s iOS interface is suspect.
I didn’t know about “clear all” with notifications! thanks for the tip!
I stopped watching after 0.07 seconds as the music is very irritating. Tip for every video you upload in the future.

Thank you for presenting slowly and clearly. Many of these Apple Watch videos run through at a pace only an experienced user would catch and leave me rewinding constantly to see what they did. You also hold the watch close enough to fill most of the screen, so we see the watch and not your hands. Maybe you can do a YouTube on “how to do a great YouTube instructional video”:-)

I hate it when people complain that the only way to exit Power Reserve mode is to turn the watch off and back on. They act like it’s the end of the world! Power Reserve turns off all functionality—except for being a watch. Why would any other feature be expected while in that mode?
My new series 2 rose gold 38mm Apple Watch is arriving tomorrow so excited
Yo what version is that cause i got the same color and case i think but dont know about version, i got apple watch series 2
I use Caltopo to create my route, import it to Avenza on my phone. I can set markers to alert if I’m nearing a trail junction. I Use the workout app on my watch to track distance / HR. Any options out there to synch the phone alert to my watch. I’d like to not lose the watch workout.
How did you managed to keep battery up for 2 days of hiking?
My Apple Watch 5 stayed alive only about 8h last time.
Maybe you can share some tips?
Great video. Has anything changed, as far as you know, from the time you did this to now? Getting ready to do a four-five day trip and am trying to figure out the best route to take. From the video it looks like you recommend a combo of Gaia plus Workoutdoors. Does the combination make it more battery intensive than just one single app?
Hey Hank. Thanks for the great review and information. How’s the best way to optimize my battery time on the watch? I had a first gen Apple Watch and used it with MapMyHike just to get some rudimentary data and it depleted the battery within several hours. Any suggestions, or is the 5 just that much more advanced? Thanks again!
Knowing how poor the battery life of the Apple Watch Series 5 is, I prefer to use just the phone with the apps I need. I can turn the phone to airplane mode and utilize GPS with the hiking app and I’m set. For day hikes the watch is fine but for a multi-day trek with long hiking days the battery life is terrible:( I very much miss my Garmin Fenix.
I have both Apple Watch 4 and Garmin Fenix 6 Pro, I tried both options. TBH for long backpacking hike, I always prefer the Garmin Fenix 6, which last me about 3 days with 8-10 hours hike a day (I used the topo maps came with the Watch), and use my iPhone as a backup, Apple Watch battery life is very limited but more sustainable for a short quick day hike, and I really hope Apple will make some better improvement on the battery life for the coming S6
Battery Bro, when they slightly accurately at tracking you. Battery that’s whats matters
Vídeo muito bom! Obrigado pelas informações! Poderia por gentileza me dizer o nome das músicas utilizadas no vídeo? Obrigado!
So im guessing before i even watch this video the short answer is get a garmin lol.
Great Review! I only use Gaia GPS and the app saved me a couple times to get into trouble! Best app for hiking!
shazam and soundhound are useless af you can just say hey siri, what song is playing and its gonna tell you
Thanks for a great review! I’m a long-term Garmin user (currently using Fenix 5X plus) but also an Apple sheep. I gave my wife an AppleWatch as a Christmas gift and since that, I’m thinking to do a switch from Garmin. I’m really surprised by your battery life comparison. With my wife, we’re going this year to Himalaya again so the AW battery life is a big concern and question mark to me.
Really helpful review. Would love to see how AllTrails on the Apple Watch stands up to these you tested out.
Very useful and well structured video, I was just wondering what app is the best for my needs. Thank you!
What are your initial thoughts of the Suunto 7? I feel like it solves all these issues and debating getting it. Does not require a phone to use offline map features and listen to music.
You can turn on current elevation for Apple Watch. “Change your workout view” section at https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/adjust-your-workout-settings-apde0be691be/watchos
Did anyone else think his voice changed from the starting voice?!
Not hating, btw this really helped.
hi nice tips..i have some questions, when i start from the point A to point B in the jungle, how to track back the route to get back to point A? which app can do? tq sir
I have Applewatch 4 and battery life with GPS is only about 5-6 hours tops. How are you getting a day to 2 days with out charging it?
Nice real world review. It’s nice that, unlike most YouTubers, you don’t seem to be pushing the latest free product some company sent you.
The new version of WorkOutDoors supports the compass in the AW S5!
Very cool video, and I greatly appreciate the effort that you took to comprehensibly explain the available options with Iphone+watch and their ups and downsides. You’re addressing exactly the questions that I have. But I was a little confused, at 09:12 about WorkOutdoors, you say that you can transfer parts of the map to the watch in advance to your trip, so I understood that that’s offline use of that segment of the map. But then at 11:43 u wish that it would be possible to have offline maps functionality with workoutdoors, suggesting that there is no offline functionality at the moment. Or did you just mean there that it is not possible to load the entire map onto the watch?
I’m mainly interested because I like hiking, although it is never in any remote areas or extreme circumstances. So at the moment I am looking at Garmin watches but they are kindof huge, expensive and specialised, and at the same time I also need a new phone. So considering my less extreme circumstances it seems that an iphone together with an apple watch would be a viable option that is also useful for daily use.
What about leaving all your electronics off and enjoy the hike?
…Great review and thank you for sharing.
The Outdoors app look very promising and just what I was looking for, will give it a try.
Nice video Hank. How much does the battery last if you use the iWatch alone with it’s GPS? This is estimated to around 6-8 hours on an iWatch 4. (I know it is more battery when used with the phone’s GPS) For this single reason (if that is 6 hours only) I would not replace any fitness watch for an iWatch. Especially not for hiking.
I am an Android guy myself, I use a Polar Vantage M for tracking and a phone (and a battery pack) for everything else running LocusMap. It’s a pity that is not available for iOS. Nothing beats LocusMap. (however this WorkOutDoor app seems to rock)
Great video! I wish I had found it long time ago! I went through all those apps and set on WorkOutDoors toomainly for mountain bikingexcellent app with vector maps, all offline. Works better and easier than any Garmin device I owned. Small screen, but very useful.
I just got the AW5, I hope ViewRanger would include the compass function in the mini map. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for this review. Been looking for an outdoors app for the apple watch but hasn’t one that I really like. WorkOutDoors looks like it could do the trick so looking forward to the next hike to try it out.
Thanks so much for the in-depth review, it really helped me decide. I am mostly looking for a cycling App but the WorkOutDoors App seems to do a great job! Thanks
first of all, great video and beautiful trip. I use Gaia GPS on the phone for hiking but also have found the watch app pretty bad. I have a Series 1 so I thought it was slow because of that, but I guess it’s slow on a series 4 as well. I will try the workoutdoors app and see how I like it.
I’m surprised you get 2 days of watch life. When I just use apple’s workouts app (hiking workout), I tend to be able to only get about 4-5 hours of hiking in before need to charge the watch. Is the series 4 battery life that much better than the series 1? I was in Yosemite and did two medium hikes in a day (1hr and 3 hr) and finished my hike at about 7% battery life.
I love it, thank you! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for, my Garmin GPS is pretty long in the tooth now (it happens way too fast), and people seem to like using their phone & watch. I never used my phone for hiking because once you put it into airplane mode everything would just cease to work. I’m glad the technology has caught up, looks like WorkOutDoors is the one! Now for this heat to die down a bit…
Great video! I already had Gaia and Viewranger and am adding WorkOutDoors based on your video. I love hiking when I travel for work but never stray from the well established trails, so I think WorkOutDoors will be well worth the investment and capable of everything I need.
What do you think of the watch? Worth it or wait for Series 5? Read the Apple Watch Series 4 review in progress https://cnet.co/2OGc2gf
I have the series 3 Nike edition and it drains only 20 percent battery for 2 hours.
uh… I came here for the fitness features, not battery life wtf
I positively HATE ads. I will never buy anything or vote for anyone who advertises on youtube!
All I would really care about is that the exercise information is accurate when I used apple heath the steps were not accurate & when I use samsung health it’s accurate when I run samsung health says I ran 16.7mph which I do run fast but sometimes I don’t think it’s accurate!
does it count steps and calories on the samescreem? thats all i need
Is it me, or was the Series 4 ‘disconnected’ from the phone, while the Series 3 was connected to it…?
Can I create two profiles for activity so I can share the watch?
literally just got series 4 yesterday for my birthday. I want to figure out what I need to do to set it up for my style of workouts, and how well does it link to my mapmyrun, myfitnesspal, etc. or do i even need those with internal apps.
From YouTubing and Googling, I’ve found out the AW4 has the most accurate wrist optical sensor for heart rate on the market. Beating even Garmin. The AW4 is almost as accurate as wearing a chest strap. Sure, the top end Garmin have better dedicated fitness apps especially for serious amateurs and up, but you need a chest strap to get as accurate as AW4 on HR. Plus the AW4 can of course also be used with a chest strap if you want. Plus AW4 is cheaper. PS. The AW3 as in this vid has the old sensor and is not as accurate as the AW4. Probably the best reason to upgrade.
i want one of these or the fitbit versa because i have the amazfit bip and its my first smart type watch and i didnt know how much i would want or like notifications and extra features, wich the amazfit does but not that well (great step counter though) but gawt damn only 6 hours what the fawk? my amazfit lasts almost A MONTH without a single charge and i do cardio every day!
You tested it disconnected from iPhone? That’s not right! Meaning connected to iPhone would last even less so it’s not accurate
How about the battery wear? Was the Series 3 brand new? Because after a year of usage, battery life can be degraded a bit, so it could affect the result.
Next time try having your heart rate as a target to watch during the run and not the pace. Better health wise, since you’re running anyways.
MO Nike Run Club is great app too. I like design, especially I like coaches, like audio coach. And the best part is training program with goals, it is interactive, every single day you know what to do, and also you are able to see your progress.
Strava has nothing from that. AW app can’t notify you about segments, training plan is just sending you emails. And there is no checking your progress, no checking how did you run… Every run seems like free run / with no goals.
iSmoothRun is amazing. You can costum every single workout, you can set every parameter of fartlek or interval running…
And you can export that data:)
Great video but I have one question is it waterproof? Please answer
4:24 I don’t take advice from adults who dive head-first into 6-foot pools…
i actually appreciate you so much for actually taking that hike to test the watches! super awesome
56% at 3hrs I mean that is just bad. I would want at least 3-day/2-day battery at full use, why can they not just make a good battery. Nothing mentioned about the accuracy though????
Half the video about the battery with almost no other comments? Terrible review guys
Debating on size… are you wearing the 40mm or 44mm? Thanks!
sheesh… I was just considering to get the Series 3 because it is on sale for $200-229 range now but I value battery life and I would be disappointed in series 3’s battery life. Now I think I will wait for the Series 4 to go on sale next year.
Didn’t have LTE connected either it appears so that would degrade battery life.
So… people who bought the Apple Watch below 4 series what’s the point lol… can’t even go for 6 hours just take your damm phone lol
Not a mention about heart rate accuracy wtf
Great review. Always prefer these type of reviews over stationary.
Thanks guys, good test. Out of interest was that a new series 3? If it’s a year old that would probably affect the battery a bit.
Out of the series 3, 4,5 which one seems to better with heart rate accuracy?
6 hour hike I’m lucky if I do a 6 minute walk around the house lol
I love my new Apple Watch 4 black SS
New iPhone X’s max or whatever you call it 6.5 inch screen 512 gig of room
I’m all in to the new apple stuff now I hope to use well.
What kinda earphones are you using? And do you recommend them? Plz & thank you in advance.
whoever this chick is in the review she can be my personal trainer any day of the week, DM me ma
The small-penis squad are here again mobbing these comments, unfortunately..
A fitness review means how well the heart rate sensor keeps track of your heart rate during different kinds of workouts. How accurate the GPS keeps track of your runs. How accurrate the device is at measuring cadence and stride. How well it measures calories burned. NOT how long the battery lasts in an extreme scenario that is practically worthless for 99% of the people 100% of the time.
Idiots.
This is Not an accurate test they are not connected to an iphone
Series 4 has a far more accurate heart monitor than series 1-3.
It really makes the older models obsolete.
I went from a Polar RCX5 with HR monitor and GPS module to a Apple Watch (original), then the series 3. I’m now back to a Polar device that work for several days with 1 hr per day of GPS and HR monitoring, or 30 days just telling the time. Cost a quarter of the Apple Watch 4. Yes I miss some Apple Watch features, but to be honest if I got a notification, I just reached for my iPhone.
Yeah. Apple series 4 made it through 6 hours of hiking. Wait. That’s appalling. Should be good for several days as a Garmin for example.
Is that Stinson beach? Pretty sure I’ve done this hike, beautiful view!
First of all who the fk does a SIX hour hike?! Jeez Louise. Secondly my only beef with Apple Watch is that there is no native food-calorie tracking app. The Fitbit does a great job of being able to see calories out vs. calories in by allowing you to track food calories within the app. But AFAIK in the Apple watch the only way to do so is through a 3rd party app like Myfitnesspal or something. That’s pretty lame and is the sole reason that’s preventing me from jumping from Fitbit to Apple Watch
I don’t know if I’d call this a fitness review. Sure 6 hours, but on an easy trail, at a very slow pace, little elevation, low heart rate. All these things would also impact battery.
The location services was not running battery save right there correct? If so, then how would that help her map while hiking?
Nice, I quite enjoyed that. Definitely on the cards to getting one for myself. They’re hard to come by on our side of the world, so travel is needed.
Quit claiming it has a longer battery life. At the unveil Apple even verified it’s the same battery life as the 3, not longer.
Brian Tong (Apple Bitz) has his own YouTube channel, you’re welcome
The aws4 was connected with phone and used the phones GPS. Standalone wouldn’t last so much, not to mention that there was no earphones.
In terms of endurance it’s far behind from competition but it’s the only smartwatch can be used proper with iPhone.
The heart rate on Apple Watch 3 sucks. It works great on your couch, I’ve never ever seen it give a heart rate during a hard workout. I did a 12 hour hike, and my watch never quit, are you using cellular or something? It tracked me measured calories, etc… great for swimming…
The only video that was helpful to me as i just got a Apple Watch as a gift last week. All other videos to damn fast. Yours is perfectly explaining but s little too quite, i wish you were louder. Thanks though.
just asking. if u wash your hand with soap. do u need to use eject water or u can wash without using it?
Heh.. you are trying to use a low cost toy to measure health and micromanage workouts.
2 things to measure (if fitness is really your goal) with a medical device..
1. Blood pressure. Heart rate (with a 20% to 30% variance) is not qualitative.
2. Hormone levels.
Both need to be looked at by DOCTORS. Not some app.
This watch does neither. A toy ekg is garbage, as even a real ekg (with all 12 points of data, interpreted by a doctor) is only going to be about 80% useful (false positives about 20% of the time).
$400 for the fad toy, or get yourself to a doctor where they have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical equipment and know how to use it and interpret the results.It’s your choice, it’s your health.
Unless both watches are new out of the box this experiment has a critical flaw.
I like how it says the star walk2 app is free when it’s not lmao
it has a limited number of watch faces compared to the newer versions imgs.love/AppleWatch?ұГ but that is not that big of a deal. Other than that, if you are just looking for a watch for tracking fitness and checking notifications, this is a great option.
When you download an app do you have to keep that app on your iPhone or can you delete it from your iPhone to keep it on the Apple Watch?
im getting a series 3 apple watch for Christmas and its white
Star Walk your description was totally bogus!!! No stars just times to view the planetsutter rubbish!!
With regard to Star Walk 2 my app doesn’t seem to allow anything other than to set alarms for times to see different planets or the sun or moon. Does the Apple Watch app do more than this?
I’m thinking of getting an Apple Watch but I’m still thinking if it’s worth it I workout sometimes but I’m not sure what apps to use.
I own same speakers as you (logitech).in my opinion they suck do fucking BAD. What about you?
If you could please give me a tip on how to use my messenger app on the watch Bc I can’t use it… it keep loading and loading idk what else to do helpppppp!!!!
If you want a fitness watch then you should definitely buy a Garmin instead. The Garmin Felix series watches are better as a fitness watches than Apple watches in every way; Apple watches are better as smart watches though. It depends what you want the watch for.
Great info….do you know the best way to listen to podcasts on apple watch series 3?
How do you do the star walk thing
I got the app but it’s not working
thank youu, its so helpful, without this my apple watch is just a watch
Barcelona hola!!! I live in the US but my family is from Colombia saludos and thank you for the well of information. Water app is a must for me
I’m really feeling the song at the end of ur video
Thanks for the info
LETS GET RIGHT INTO IT!!!!!! (10 secs later) SO BEFORE I TELL YOU!!!! blahblahblahblah
For being from Barcelona, your English is amazing! Great app recommendations too. I need to visit Barça for a soccer match.
Only two of those apps weren’t pointless I’m seriously considering returning my watch I have the cellular and really wanted it for maps and fitness of course but call me crazy it’s just not as cutting edge as I thought it’d be
Thank you for liking. I’m Malaak and I’m only 12 and I really want an Apple Watch and you’ve proved my parents to get me one. They see how the Apple Watch can change a life to a lazy one to a very good workout every day
I’ll be 55 years old in a few days and I don’t often take much advice from people in braces but, you’ve done a good job here. Being in Barcelona helps. (The train system, while good, does need help with ‘connections’ and exit/entrance directions.) A solid bunch of apps most that I have on my phone, but having a watch do it is pretty cool. Well done.
The star map one would be useful, if you could actually see the stars
And also is it worth buying the new iPad Pro 2018 when already have an iPad Pro
You Apple Watch videos have really helped and iPad Pro too cause i have the Apple Watch series 3 and iPad Pro 12.9 inch 1st generation
I was constantly finding myself not drinking water and almost dying…now thanks to Apple Watch, I no longer need to remember to drink water again! For me, it was the achievements that pushed me to drinking water.
im getting an apple watch on saturday im getting the 329£ smaller size the space grey
Bon video!! A l’espera del meu Apple Watch Series 3!! Quines ganes!
I use the modular watch face. I made a video showing how I use Shazaam on there. I’ve also got WaterMinder and JustPressRecord. What are your 3 go to apps for the modular watch face?
Um can u ask you a question
Can we download something on it
I means do we have Apple Store on it?
My fiancé is from Valencia…. you should be ashamed of Catalonia… embarrassing Spain in front of the whole world…
What’s the deal with Sky Walk 2? Won’t show the map as seen in the video..
Is it just me or does the star walk app not work like in the video?
All I wanna know is how to get the * and # buttons in the dialpad
Hey, guys! I have noticed that in the darkness the edges of the glass glow like there is some gap between a casing and the glass. It is very obvious when you launch the flashlight. Who observed the same?
You didn’t really explain how to get to part with your watch For some reason my husband has his on yellow it’s halfway he hit something and I can’t fix it
What if you go out for another workout during the same day? I have not been able to open the same workout during the same day.
hey great video check out this https://amzn.to/2Gj5O5g and let me no what you think thanks
Why doesn’t the workout app coincide with the activity rings? I do indoor walks and nothing ever records on the activity app
Why does my Iwatch keep stopping and I have to go back and resume to start it back up?
So basically you are saying the series 5 worse than the others or it’s actually better than the others?
Is there a way for the app to connect to the phones gps…like MapMyRun does?
how to delete the quick start workout in apple watch after you saved it??
I agree with AppleDudesReviews, we want to see the message app, in depth.
I can’t wait for my watch to arrive, the excitement is real!
