The Ultra is the biggest, most powerful, and priciest Apple Watch. To put that price into perspective, you can buy two Series 8 or three SE models for the same price. It works hard to justify its cost, though.
To start, the Ultra has the largest and brightest screen of any Apple Watch. It uses a 49mm, MIL-STD 810H-tested titanium case and an OLED display that puts out twice as much light (2,000 nits) as the Series 8 or SE. It includes an additional Action button for custom functions and has a battery life of 36 hours (double the Series 8 and SE).
The Ultra has all of the same health features as the Series 8, but sets itself apart when you step outside the gym. The watch is built for all types of adventure, from dives to hikes and more. When you’re on foot, it uses L1 and L5 GPS for better accuracy and has a built-in 86dB siren that is audible from up to 600 feet away. For underwater treks, the watch has an EN13319 certification and a depth gauge with a water temperature sensor. It also works for recreational dives at depths of up to 40 meters and can function as a dive computer with the Oceanic+ app.
The Apple Watch Ultra is clearly the best Apple Watch for climbers, swimmers, and anyone else who spends a lot of time in the great outdoors. It’s pricey, though, and people with smaller wrists should be aware of its bulky design.
