Apple Watch Ultra 2 Review

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 strikes a great balance between powerful outdoor features and being an excellent smartwatch companion.

Top screen ; Excellent sports tracking ; The best Apple Watch

Fitness tracking feels dated ; Lack of performance analysis ; Mapping rolling out slowly

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 strikes a great balance between powerful outdoor features and being an excellent smartwatch companion. It’s also just an Apple Watch power user’s dream, and offers all the latest gesture features, a gorgeous titanium build and,...

Apple Watch Ultra 2 review: surprise release, no-brainer upgrade

Apple's second-generation rugged watch might look familiar, but there are plenty of upgrades under the hood

Faster processor ; Brighter display ; New gesture control (Double Tap) ; Offline Siri ; Carbon Neutral product (when paired with certain straps)

Might be hard to justify coughing up this much money on a yearly basis

If you liked the first iteration, you’ll love Apple’s latest rugged wearable offering. It’s prettier, smarter and faster than before without any price increase. A no-brainer upgrade for those who had an older Apple Watch and were thinking about...

Apple Watch Ultra 2 review

Is the Apple Watch Ultra 2 a worthy upgrade? The answer depends on what you're upgrading from, but it's certainly the best Apple Watch yet

Bright screen ; Slick operating system ; Great for tracking sports & workouts

Works exclusively with iPhones ; Not as many fitness metrics as the competition ; Topographical maps cover US only

With so few user-perceptible upgrades over the original, it isn’t worth upgrading to the Ultra 2. However, for everyone else, it’s a phenomenal smartwatch with very decent battery life.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Series 9 review: Quiet evolution

This year's Apple Watches get a new processor and some interesting new features, but does that mean you should upgrade? #apple #applewatchultra2 #applewatchseries9

The TL;DR version: The updates to this year’s watches may not be the most exciting, but they do improve the Apple Watch user experience in meaningful ways.

Review: Apple Watch Ultra 2

The new version of Apple's rugged sports watch has many helpful enhancements, but it's a bit quirky to use—and still too dependent on your iPhone for some key features.

Onboard processing for better battery life and improved data privacy. Helpful haptic features. WatchOS 10 includes offline maps and new hiking and cycling features. Fun new watch face. Precision locating rules.

No offline maps without the phone??? Battery life still nowhere near industry standard for sports watches. Carbon neutral claims are iffy. Constant toggling between functions is annoying. 3,000-nit display doesn't make a huge difference.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Review: A Brighter Screen Makes My Favorite Watch Better

A searingly bright screen and faster responses are nice but not necessary upgrades.

Incredibly bright screen ; More accurate dictation and on-device Siri ; 64GB storage means more space for music and apps ; WatchOS 10 brings great new cycling and hiking features ; Double Tap is very useful

Battery life is the same as first Ultra ; Limited recovery metrics

Apple Watch Ultra 2 Review: Cut from the same cloth, but still great

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is here... and you might have a hard time picking it out from its predecessor.

Rugged premium design ; Super-bright display ; WatchOS 10 is a joy to use ; Fast and responsive thanks to the new Apple S9 chip ; The new Modular Ultra watch face is great (and so is Snoopy) ; Enriched watch band options ; Better battery life than...

Double Tap feature not available at launch ; Little to no changes from the previous model ; Still a single color option

Apple Watch Ultra 2 long-term review: Your move, Samsung

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has its flaws, but I can accept them for the sake of its massive, bright display and premium upgrades. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has the combination of fitness tools and smarts I've been waiting for — and the gorgeous 1.9-inch...
