The pricing and availability of the Apple Watch Ultra firmly cements it as a device not many can buy. There is only one model of the Watch Ultra, and unlike other Apple Watch models, there is no room for customization in screen size, case color, or connectivity. The only options provided are in the watch bands. Every Apple Watch Ultra is made out of the same silver titanium finish and comes with cellular connectivity. All models of the Apple Watch Ultra are priced the same at $799, making it more expensive than standard versions of the Apple Watch. It's clear Apple thinks this product is for a specific type of person — the serious athlete or adventurer.
But after spending hands-on time with the Apple Watch Ultra, it becomes apparent that there is another use for the device, one that doesn't require being a triathlete or marathoner. The same features that make the smartwatch a great tool for athletes and outdoor adventurers also makes it a fantastic smartwatch — the best Apple Watch the company has to offer. It's the first Apple Watch that truly feels like an iPhone on the wrist, and for some s, that's a good thing. It definitely isn't for everyone, but the Apple Watch Ultra could be the high-powered, multifunctional smartwatch people have been waiting for.
Big Screen & Long Battery Life
Though the Apple Watch Ultra has the same S8 chip as the Apple Watch Series 8, it feels significantly more functional thanks to the larger 49mm screen. It's the largest display ever shipped on an Apple Watch and is much easier to navigate as a result. Due to the way the display is shaped, it doesn't exactly show more text on-screen than the Series 8, but the experience is still better overall.
The Apple Watch keyboard actually feels usable for the first time, making it easy to take notes, send texts, or look up a location in Maps without constant typos. A notable design flaw with the Apple Watch keyboard is that the delete key lives directly under the 'Send' button, but larger digital keys reduce the need to delete text in the first place. With a cellular connection, all of these features are accessible without needing to stay in range of a paired iPhone.
These features have been staples of the Apple Watch for some time, but the short battery life of standard models made this type of use case challenging. The Apple Watch has offered 18-hour battery life for years, but this is heavily shortened when cellular connectivity is used. However, the Apple Watch Ultra has 36-hour battery life and a Low Power Mode that can extend the usage to 60 hours. Critics of the Apple Watch Ultra point out that it is an extremely large smartwatch, which is true. But it's a also very small iPhone, and that's a point that should be emphasized, considering the functionality offered. Apple Watch Ultra is marketed as a new option for athletes, but it's also the best choice for s looking for the equivalent of a wrist-mounted iPhone.
