What’s inside the Apple Watch Ultra?
As usual iFixit does an amazing job of tearing down the latest and greatest gadgets. This time it’s the Apple Watch Ultra’s turn, you can check out the video here. That frame on it’s own looks an amazing bit of engineering.

Some initial thoughts on the Apple Watch Ultra
Whilst I was out this evening I took a little trip to the Apple Store to take a look at the iPhone 14 Pro and The Apple Watch Ultra (and a Galaxy Flip 4 (yes I’m tempted to give the foldable a run)). I managed to take a close look at the Ultra and as…

The Apple Watch Ultra review I was waiting for
Here’s the Apple Watch Ultra review I was waiting for. If you’re looking at an active smartwatch then DC Rainmaker is the one to trust. It’s a great video and I hope Apple take note of the Ultra’s shortcomings.

Apple Watch Ultra reviewed
This is a good review from The Verge, it seems that it’s not competing with the likes of Garmin but is it’s own thing – a good thing in fact. It seems like the series 8 is still the way to go for 90% of the user base of the Apple Watch so it’ll be…

Watch crown guards doesn’t mean an extreme Apple Watch but it’s very interesting
I actually like the look of the rumoured new “extreme” Apple Watch. But adding crown guards doesn’t automatically mean it’s an adventure version. My Seiko has them, it’s a diver. It’s so the crown doesn’t get knocked in movement. The Apple Watch crown is a lot more durable than that of a traditional Watch, I’m…

A durable Apple Watch made of metal?
There’s been rumours of the G-Shock equivalent or Garmin competitor of the Apple Watch for a while but now Mark Gurman has given some details. As a lover of watches and also G-Shock I find that it’s hard to believe a durable Apple Watch made of metal is going to compete. The extreme sports watch…

Is it time for Apple to disconnect Fitness+ from the Apple Watch?
I’ve tested out Fitness+ in the past and thought the presentation was great, there’s a good range of exercises and it’s not too expensive but you need an Apple Watch to use it. As someone that stopped wearing an Apple Watch a while ago it’s frustrating that I get Fitness+ as part of my Apple…

Google Pixel Watch vs Apple Watch
The rumours were true and yesterday Google officially announced the Pixel Watch. To me it looks nice, kind of like a round Apple Watch. In fact if Apple changed the design of the current square Watch this is what I’d imagine it would look like. As someone that loves mechanical watches I find the current…

A day with watchOS 8
I’ve gone all in with the beta’s this year and for the first time in a while went in with watchOS. I thought I’d share my experience of using it for a day, which may help you decide to go for it or not. Battery life This is the first thing you’re going to notice.…

watchOS 8 adds a new timer screen
This was one of my wishes for watchOS. A timer mode where you could run it without it being obscured by the time when the always on display went dark. Now you can just glance and see how long is left on your current timer.

Installing watchOS 8
Updating the iPhone and iPad to the beta at WWDC isn’t too difficult to reverse but the watch is totally different. With watchOS if you want to go back a version then you have to send it off to Apple. This is a process that doesn’t take long (typically around 4 days) but in the…

Apple Watch setup
I’ve been back using the Apple Watch and I thought I’d share my setup with you. First off I will say that I’m still not completely satisfied with the face options we have, like my wallpaper I switch around a lot. I’m not sure if that’s just the way I am or the watch face…
