How long can you get out of the Apple Watch Ultra if you turn on Low Power Mode? Well, I took Apple’s most expensive smartwatch to the Lake District to find out!

What's the longest you've got out of your Apple Watch Ultra?
I wanted an ULTRA but I think Garmin is for the serious user
I use to get 72 hrs out of my ultra, but since I got the iPhone 15 Pro max I am now only getting like 60 hrs….. I lost 12 hrs all of a sudden without any other changes than the new phone😢…..
Not surprising that Apple lies about their battery duration lol
Apple is known to have glitches
Was it connected to an iphone for the entire time or was it stand-alone?
How cold was it when you did the test? Temperature has a huge affect on battery life
Hiking is my personal version of hell.
For something that's supposed to be on low power.. it was going through unusual usage.. maybe the ghost touches
Streets ahead 😄 nice community reference
I like the garmin watches much more.
My Fenix 7 is way better and also those garmins with an amoled screen last way longer, like the FR 965 and so on. And even the 255 from your friend is much better and costs so much less. And they are much cheeper.
I love my garmin🙂👌🏾
Received my ultra Apple watch 7/28th
And today 8/1 my watch went from 98% to dead under 4 hours. Wtf
Too expensive for 2 days watch
is the battery any better than the apple watch series 8??? also did you are the cellular on during the hike???
PoOr Apple Watch….l still want one though.
bought the kids an £8 watch from ali express. it does blood oxygen, HR, blood pressure, sleep tracking, steps and excercise- battery lasts 14-21 days battery
bought myself a £20 watch- does all the above and also ecg monitor- both have an oled screen. terrible touch screens but since i never use and do all my checks from my phone, thats not an issue- my watch has a 10-20 day battery life
dont know why anyone would buy an apple watch
With my usage, I got 72 hours without low power mode w8th 8% battery left, and 96 hours with low power mode on with 10% left.
Mine is a day & a half without low power mode I could probably squeeze 2 days of a charge without low power mode I’d only use low power mode when it gets to 30-40% I don’t see the point in turning it on at 100%
Misleading tho, ur not using the right low power mode apple was talking about 🙁
Mine can last for only around 30 hours 😢
Did you turn on just low power mode as well as with workouts?
Had mine about a week now, really impressive bit of kit. Probably the best device Apple have released since the original Apple Watch
Great video. For home usage in low Power with sim installed i just charged from 4% after 3 Days and 4 hours.
Very poor battery … no way will change from my f6 unless they change this radically
I love theses types of vids!!! :DD
Now this is a good and original tech video. Nicely edited too. 👏🏻
Great video I’m considering getting one tomorrow
