Apple watch ultra

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIAApple today announced 1 Additionally, a new low-power setting, ideal for multi-day experiences, can extend battery life to reach up to 60 hours. 2 The Wayfinder watch face is designed specifically for the larger Apple Watch Ultra display and includes a compass built into the dial, with space for up to eight complications. Apple Watch Ultra also brings three new bands — Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band — offering unique design features that provide a secure and comfortable fit for every adventure. “Inspired by explorers and athletes from around the world, we created an entirely new category of Apple Watch designed for new and extreme environments — it’s the most rugged and capable Apple Watch yet,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer. “Apple Watch Ultra is a versatile tool that empowers users to push their boundaries with adventure, endurance, and exploration.” Made from aerospace-grade titanium, Apple Watch Ultra provides the perfect balance of weight, durability, and corrosion resistance. The case rises up to surround all edges of the flat sapphire front crystal, protecting the Retina display, which is up to 2000 nits — 2x brighter than any Apple Watch display yet. The new Action button in high-contrast international orange is easily customized for instant access to a variety of features, including Workouts, Compass Waypoints, Backtrack, and more. Apple Watch Ultra has three built-in microphones to significantly improve sound qu...

The Apple Watch Ultra is easily the best wearable that the brand has ever made, bringing a bright, large screen, a new customizable physical button for making running workouts easier to start or end, and a longer battery life. A clear attempt to take on the likes of Garmin and Polar, Apple has stuck a lot of useful tech and genuinely helpful features that will be of real use in an emergency - for the intermediate fitness enthusiast, or someone that can afford a slightly better Apple Watch, this is an easy buy. The battery life improvements are welcomed, but are nowhere near long enough to stop the 'range anxiety' of using an Apple Watch - the question of when to charge (made harder as the overnight health tracking gets better, so the nightstand is no longer an option) remains, and there's an odd lack of on-device mapping for when you're out on a hike or run. That aside, the Watch Ultra is arguably the best smartwatch around at the moment, fusing functionality, safety and second-screen smarts in a way that most Apple users will really enjoy. As a response to the growing power of the 'premium fitness watch' segment, which had to make - although it says it's been years in the making. With a new, more rugged design, better screen and better GPS tracking, it's the first design change in eight years... but it's also incredibly expensive at $799 / £849 / AU$1229. The design changes are obvious. The Digital Crown is bigger, and more ridged for easier use with gloves on. The displa...

Editor's note: This review was originally published in September of 2022 but has been updated several times since. Apple advertises the new Watch Ultra as its most rugged and capable smartwatch ever. Naturally, as a sports watch enthusiast and owner of a few too many wearables, I was intrigued by the company's foray into the niche but important segment and bought one for myself. What I like a lot about the Apple Watch Ultra is that while it's powerful enough to get through the most intense environments, it's just as reliable as a standard smartwatch. That said, the goal of this review is not to tell you whether or not the Apple Watch Ultra can sustain the typical jog at the park. Instead, for a watch so rich in durability and fitness features, I figured, "Why not treat it with the ultimate durability test?"

Designed to compete with more expensive fitness-focused smart watches from companies like Garmin, the Apple Watch Ultra is aimed at sports enthusiasts and athletes that need more battery life and more sport-specific performance from of their devices. Apple says the Apple Watch Ultra was built for endurance, exploration, and adventure, and it is the largest Apple Watch to date at 49mm, which is 4mm larger than the 45mm Apple Watch Series 8 that it's being sold alongside. The Apple Watch Ultra features the first redesign we've seen in years with a lightweight aerospace-grade titanium body, flat sapphire crystal face, a larger diameter and deeper grooved Digital Crown, a housing for the side button and an extra physical button on the left side called the Action button. At up to 2000 nits, the Apple Watch Ultra is the brightest Apple Watch to date, so it is easy to see in sunlight. The Action button is designed in international orange to make it noticeable in the dark and under water, and it's customizable so it can activate Workouts, mark segments, set Compass Waypoints, and more. There are three built-in microphones to improve sound quality, and a beamforming algorithm captures voice while reducing ambient background sounds even when it's noisy outdoors. There is ...
