Hands-On: Does The Apple Watch Ultra 2 Make It Into This Mechanical Watch Lover's Collection? (Video)

Last week, I attended Apple's Wonderlust event where the company announced a slew of new iPhones (USB-C baby!) as well as the updated Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Since I'm obviously a watch lover, I was most excited to check out the Ultra 2 so I took one home to test out its new features and see how I got along with actually wearing a smartwatch.

I'm someone who mainly wears mechanical watches so switching to a miniature computer on the wrist was fairly new territory for me. I wasn't sure if I'd love it and eschew my beloved timepieces or just downright despise that it's constantly tapping and reminding me of things that I'm already trying to avoid on my phone.

I only had the Ultra 2 for a little less than a week and with a product this feature-rich it's nearly impossible to experience them all, but with the short amount of time I did spend with it I can honestly say that neither of the previously mentioned scenarios ended up coming true. I still miss my Grand Seikos and Tudors, but I can find some space in my collection for an Apple Watch.

If you're curious whether the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will end up in my watch rotation or  want to hear more about some of the neat things it can do (double tap is really cool), I cover it all in more detail in this article's accompanying video. Give it a watch now.
