Apple Watch Ultra 2 (Global, 49 mm) Specs

About this Apple Watch

The Apple Watch Ultra 2, introduced on September 12, 2023, is a refined version of its predecessor, designed primarily for sports and outdoor activities. This model maintains the same design as the original Apple Watch Ultra, featuring a lightweight, aerospace-grade titanium body with a flat sapphire crystal face. It boasts a 49mm case size and an LTPO OLED Always-On Retina display, offering a remarkable brightness of up to 3000 nits, making it easily visible even in sunlight.              

This watch is notably rugged, meeting the MIL-STD-810H military standard, and is suitable for a range of water activities including kitesurfing, wakeboarding, and recreational scuba diving. It’s certified to WR100 and EN 13319 standards, particularly useful for divers with its depth gauge and dedicated Depth app. The Ultra 2 operates in extreme temperatures, from as cold as -4°F to as hot as 131°F. 

Key advancements include a new processor, the Apple S9, and enhanced Siri capabilities. The S9 chip enables faster and more reliable performance, particularly for Siri, which now processes more queries directly on the device, improving both speed and dictation accuracy. The watch features a double-tap gesture control, allowing for easier interaction, especially when your hands are full.      

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 excels in sports tracking, offering the most accurate GPS of any Apple Watch with its dual-frequency GPS integrating L1 and L5 frequencies. It’s particularly adept at providing precise distance, pace, and route data for training and competing. The watchOS 10 update has enhanced its capabilities, including support for cycling sensors and improved diving features.           

Battery life is another highlight, lasting up to 36 hours on a single charge, and can be extended to 72 hours with the new low-power setting, ideal for multi-day adventures. It also supports cellular connectivity, requiring a cellular plan for full functionality.
