Apple Unveils the Apple Watch Ultra: A Timepiece for Endurance, Exploration, and Adventure
Apple has announced the latest addition to its lineup of smartwatches, the Apple Watch Ultra. Designed for those who seek adventure, this new device boasts a range of innovative features that make it an ideal companion for endurance activities, exploration, and outdoor pursuits.
The Apple Watch Ultra comes with a 49mm titanium case and a flat sapphire front crystal, making it the biggest and brightest Apple Watch display yet. This larger screen provides a more immersive experience for users, while the durable materials ensure the watch can withstand the rigours of outdoor activities.
One of the standout features of the Apple Watch Ultra is its water resistance. Certified to WR100, it can withstand submersion up to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming, diving, and other water-based activities. Moreover, it is EN 13319 certified for dive accessories, further underscoring its suitability for underwater exploration.
The Apple Watch Ultra also introduces a customizable Action button for instant access to various features. This feature can be used to begin workouts, move to the next interval, mark segments, and complement the new Track running experience.
For those who enjoy diving, the new Oceanic+ app, in partnership with Huish Outdoors, turns the Apple Watch Ultra into a capable dive computer. The Depth app on the watch displays time, current depth, water temperature, duration under water, and the maximum depth reached.
The Apple Watch Ultra is also equipped with an 86-decibel siren designed for emergencies. This siren can help draw attention to a location in case of an emergency.
In terms of battery life, the Apple Watch Ultra offers the best battery life of any Apple Watch. It can last up to 36 hours during normal use and up to 60 hours in a low-power setting, ensuring it can keep up with even the most demanding activities.
Three new bands - Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band - are available for the Apple Watch Ultra, each designed for specific outdoor activities. These bands offer a range of colours and styles, allowing users to customise their watch to match their personal style and activity.
The Wayfinder watch face is designed specifically for the larger Apple Watch Ultra display and includes a compass built into the dial. This watch face provides a quick and easy way to check your direction when outdoors.
The Apple Watch Ultra also features innovative temperature-sensing capabilities that enable further insights into women's health. This feature, along with the watch's water resistance and durable design, makes it an ideal choice for those who lead active, outdoor lifestyles.
The Apple Watch Ultra is available for order today and will be available in stores beginning September 23. Moreover, three months of Apple Fitness+ are included for customers who purchase the Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Series 8, or Apple Watch SE, or new purchases of Apple Watch Series 4 or later.
Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, announced the Apple Watch Ultra at the company's event. The new product reflects Apple's commitment to creating innovative devices that cater to the needs of its users, whether they are exploring the depths of the ocean or scaling the highest mountains.
Lastly, Apple has designed the Apple Watch Ultra to minimize its impact on the environment. The watch features recycled materials and reduced packaging, making it a sustainable choice for those who seek adventure while also caring for the planet.
