As someone who’s been writing about the Apple Watch for eight years, my first impression of the Apple Watch Ultra when I hold it in my hands is that it’s the biggest change Apple has made in its history, being recognizable as an Apple Watch.
And it is that the Ultra, with its large 49mm dial, is the largest Apple Watch the company has ever made. It has rounded corners that clearly indicate it’s an Apple Watch, but the display glass is completely flat and fits into its titanium frame.
It is a different and striking look. But, on top of that, it’s a chunky Apple Watch. The Digital Crown, which is usually a sleek design touch on all other Apple Watch models, now looks more like something out of a toolbox.
The side button stands out, which was designed to be subtle on the regular Apple Watch. On the other side, we find the Action button. It is available in a brilliant “international orange” color and is designed to be configured by the user according to their preferences.
Apple showed how to start workouts or switch between different types of workouts, but also showed off a dive app that used the Action button for more specific functions.
Obviously, it wouldn’t be a new Apple Watch without new straps. Apple emphasizes that each new model has been designed based on consultation with different extreme sports athletes.
As you know, the Apple Watch Ultra It can be reserved now with the final date of its marketing scheduled for Friday, September 23, 2022.
As the most advanced Apple Watch Apple has ever made, it’s no surprise that its prices are much higher than the Apple Watch Series 8with a turnover for the most basic version of $999 / MXN$19,999.
Indeed, only one model is marketed with GPS connectivity and mobile data, with the possibility of choosing the size of the bracelet at the time of purchase, between small, medium or large depending on the dimensions of your wrist.
