Along with its great fitness-tracking features, bright screen and durable design, we've awarded the Apple Watch Ultra an Editors' Choice. Our review, originally published in September, follows. Even if you're not an endurance athlete, there's still plenty of reasons you might want the $799 (£849, AU$1,299) Apple Watch Ultra. It has a bigger battery, more durable titanium casing and a screen that's twice as bright as the Then there's the hefty price, which is $400 more than the 41mm GPS Apple Watch Series 8 and could have you wondering whether the Ultra really is worth that much more. Even if you don't consider yourself an adventurer, there might be enough here to justify the cost -- especially if you want a more-durable watch with increased water resistance and battery life that's at least twice as long as other Apple Watch models.

There is one awesome change that could come to the Apple Watch Ultra without technically updating the hardware: a dark color option. A signature feature of the Series line is lots of finish and material options. Titanium is key to the Ultra line for durability and weight, but Apple has previously offered light and dark titanium finishes. A darker Apple Watch Ultra wouldn’t just add variety and look cool. It would also create the illusion of slimmer bezels around the display. Bezel thickness on the Ultra line compared to the Series line is just one of the design limitations. While actually slimming down the bezels on the Ultra line is always a possibility, a year-over-year design change like that seems rather aggressive based on Apple’s upgrade patterns for watches and phones. Up until a few days ago, I ...
