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: 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 review: It’s the ultimate Apple Watch

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a modest update over the original, but a brighter display, support for the double-tap gestures and future-proof processor are welcome improvements. While we still crave a lo

That said, I wouldn't be convinced as an Apple Watch Ultra user to change up for the new version, but the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a welcome pick-up for a first-time Ultra owner.
