The high-end Apple Watch Ultra, which has been in development for years, was unveiled by Apple in September 2022.
The Apple Watch Ultra is made to compete with more expensive fitness-focused smart watches from manufacturers like Garmin and is targeted at athletes and sports fans who need their devices to perform better in specialised sports and have longer battery lives.

Apple Watch Ultra: Design
The Apple Watch Ultra sports the first significant design change since the device’s introduction in 2015. The rectangular shape is still rounded, but the casing design has been updated.
The Digital Crown and side button are now in a raised location on the casing, and the cover has been extended to the borders of a new flat front crystal display to provide more protection.
The side button can also be accessed when wearing gloves thanks to a modification by Apple that gave the Digital Crown a larger diameter and deeper grooves.

The largest Apple Watch to date is the 49mm Apple Watch Ultra, which is 4mm bigger than the second-largest model currently on the market, the 45mm Apple Watch Series 8.
The Apple Watch Ultra is larger than even the 45mm Apple Watch Series 8 made of stainless steel, measuring 49mm by 44mm by 14.4mm and weighing 61.3 grammes.
The Digital Crown and accompanying side button have always been on the right side of the Apple Watch, however on the Apple Watch Ultra, there is also an additional “Action” button on the left that the user can configure. To make it easier to see, the Action button is a vivid orange colour. It can be used to launch apps and workouts.

Apple Watch Ultra: Colours and Materials
A lightweight, strong material with corrosion resistance for usage in water, aerospace-grade titanium is used to make the Apple Watch Ultra. Like the Series 8, the Apple Watch Ultra’s back is constructed of ceramic and sapphire crystal.
The Apple Watch Ultra is only available in a silver titanium tone and does not have any further colour options. Apple previously offered titanium in black for earlier models of the Apple Watch Edition, but this is not an option for the Apple Watch Ultra.

Apple Watch Ultra: Durability
The Apple Watch Ultra can survive more harsh temperatures than other Apple Watch models because it is designed to be used for travelling and adventuring. It functions at a wide range of temperatures, from -20°C (-4°F) to 131°F (55°C).
It is accredited to MIL-STD-810H, a specification used by makers of tough equipment and used to military hardware. According to Apple, this testing involves a variety of conditions, such as low pressure (at altitude), high temperatures, low temperatures, temperature shock, fluid contamination, rain, humidity, immersion, sand and dust, freeze/thaw, ice/freezing rain, shock, and vibration.
Apple Watch Ultra: Water Resistance
The Apple Watch Ultra was created by Apple with extreme water activities in mind. It can be used for recreational scuba diving down to 40 metres, wakeboarding, and kitesurfing, unlike ordinary Apple Watch models.
It is more water resistant than other Apple Watch versions, with a total water resistance of 100m. Additionally, the Apple Watch Ultra has received certification to WR100 and EN13319, a requirement for diving gear like depth metres.

Apple Watch Ultra: Battery and Charging
The Apple Watch Ultra’s larger case size allows it to fit a longer-lasting battery that can last up to 36 hours. A 542mAh battery powers the Apple Watch Ultra, which is far more powerful than the 308mAh battery found in the 45mm Apple Watch Series 8.
The Apple Watch Ultra’s battery can last up to 60 hours for multi-day expeditions with Low Power Mode and an additional power-saving option that reduces heart rate monitoring during workouts.
The Apple Watch Ultra comes with an Apple Watch charging puck that enables faster charging rates and supports fast charging technologies. Other Apple Watch models do not have the improved braided cable that comes with the charging puck.

Connectivity
Cellular connectivity is a feature of all Apple Watch Ultra models, although using it necessitates purchasing an additional service package from a carrier. The Apple Watch does not support 5G like the iPhone and connects via LTE.
The Apple Watch can connect to LTE networks on its own and does not need an iPhone to access the internet. However, in order to use LTE through a carrier, you do need an iPhone because Apple Watch and iPhone cellular plans are connected.
With the introduction of international roaming in watchOS 9, Apple made it possible for models of the cellular Apple Watch to connect to cellular networks even while they are located abroad.
The Apple Watch Ultra includes LTE in addition to a W3 Apple wireless chip and an U1 Ultra Wideband chip for connecting to other devices that have an U1, such as the most recent iPhone models. It is the only Apple Watch model that has Bluetooth 5.3 and supports it as well.
WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS
In order to improve GPS accuracy, the Apple Watch Ultra has dual-frequency GPS that combines the L1 frequency and the L5 frequency. It also has new positioning algorithms.
The Apple Watch Ultra, in Apple’s opinion, offers the most exact GPS of any Apple Watch to date, allowing for more precise distance, pace, and route statistics for exercising and competition.
