Apple introduced the Apple Watch Ultra! On the occasion of today's Apple Event conference, alongside the new Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 2, a brand new Apple Watch with the name Ultra, which targets the most demanding users, applied for the floor. It is therefore not surprising that they noticeably push the current standard forward. What new does the watch bring, how does it differ from standard Watches and what options does it bring?

First of all, the Apple Watch Ultra comes with a brand new watch face called Wayfinder, which is directly aimed at extreme sports. It is for this reason that it also offers extensive customization options, including, for example, a stay in the mountains, water sports, endurance training and many others, which will be appreciated especially by the most demanding users who are looking for an adrenaline rush. Of course, a watch as such cannot do without a quality strap, which is doubly true in the case of a model with such a focus. That's why Apple comes with the brand new Alpine Loop! It significantly advances the possibilities of standard straps and ensures maximum comfort, durability and convenience. The watch also has a red light mode for viewing in the dark.

In the case of sports, GPS is absolutely essential, which is appreciated not only by runners, but also by many other athletes. But the problem is that in some locations, regular GPS may not work 100% well. That's why Apple relied on a brand new chipset with higher reliability - namely L1 + L5 GPS. Also worth mentioning is the special action button for even more precise recording of the given sports activities. For example, triathletes can immediately switch between individual types of exercise. This goes hand-in-hand with the new low-power mode, which will allow you to actively monitor the entire triathlon over long distances, of course with precise GPS monitoring and heart rate measurement. But if, for example, you were to spend time in nature, the watch will allow you to create so-called reference points, with which you can mark, for example, a tent or other places and always find them that way.

The Cupertino giant also focused on safety. That is why he built a built-in alarm siren into the Apple Watch Ultra with a volume of up to 86 dB, which can be heard at a distance of several hundred meters. The new watch is also suitable for divers, for example. They can automatically detect diving, while immediately informing the user of the depth at which they are actually located. They also inform you about the time spent in the water, water temperature and other information. In conclusion, we must not forget to mention the excellent luminosity of the display reaching up to 2000 nits and the MIL-STD 810 military standard, ensuring the maximum possible resistance.

Availability and price

The new Apple Watch Ultra will be available for pre-order today, and will hit retail shelves on September 23, 2022. Price-wise, it will start at $799. Of course, all models are equipped with GPS + Cellular.
