Apple Watch Ultra

One of the most important novelties of this 2022 at Apple has been the launch of the Apple Watch Ultra. Arguably, this has been one more thing for Apple and users who have been eagerly waiting to see how the rumors of a more powerful and larger smartwatch have come true. It didn’t disappoint and its features shine for themselves. Of course, accompanied by a watchOS 9 which has delighted all users by integrating very good features. An operating system that fits like a glove to the 8 series. The best thing about all of this is that they continue to be launched new features and Apple has them in the oven. Let’s see.

The best thing about launching a new operating system is that better features can be incorporated and they also integrate well with existing devices. We are talking about the Apple Watch Ultra and the 8 series which coexist perfectly thanks to watchOS 9. An operating system in which there are functions that the American company has already warned that it will launch over time. Some are still in the oven, but others are already starting to stick their heads out.

Depth and Oceanic+ for Apple Watch Ultra

Apple’s Depth app can record depth and measure water temperature. Also, there is a third-party dive app called Oceanic + It’s still to come but it looks very good. Rather than create its own dive app, Apple is relying on the experts at Oceanic to turn the Ultra into a dive computer. You already know that the Apple Watch Ultra is designed for recreational diving up to 40 meters.

The Oceanic+ app on iPhone goes beyond the simple calculation of depth and time incorporating local conditions such as tides, water temperature and even community provided information such as visibility and currents. Or just use your watch to quickly and easily plan your dive. All the safety warnings you’d expect from a dive computer are built into Oceanic+, from decompression limits to excessive ascent rates and safety stops.

All these functions will be those that we can enjoy in the different models of Apple Watch. It is true that the singing voice will be carried by the Apple Watch Ultra, but it is normal, since it has just been launched and these are also functions that are intended for a watch very intended for sport to have them implemented. It is true that we could open a debate about whether these functions should already be inside the Apple Watch Ultra, but it is something that will always happen. The ideal is to think that they are about to arrive to the delight of many users.

The best thing is that there is also news in watchOs 9 so many users who do not yet have the Ultra, we will be able to take advantage of it.
