The outside is similar, but the inside has changed.
Bya senior reviewer covering laptops and other gadgets. Monica was a writer for Tom's Guide and Business Insider before joining The Verge in 2020.Apple has announced its newest flagship smartwatch, the Apple Watch Ultra 2. The Ultra 2’s design looks quite similar to that of the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra, which means most of the upgrades are on the inside.
The watch has an upgraded display from the previous Ultra model, rated for 3,000 nits, which Apple says is the brightest display an Apple Watch has ever had. Apple claims that users will get 72 hours to a charge when the device is in low-power mode. The case is now made from 95 percent recycled titanium.
While the Ultra’s hardware has seen an upgrade, some of the biggest changes that Apple Watch users will see this year will come with watchOS 10, which brings widgets, redesigned app icons, and new mapping and cycling features to the watch interface. A new watchface called Modular Ultra will make use of the outer edge of the display.
The Ultra 2 can be preordered today for $799 and will ship on September 22nd. Apple introduced the new watch at Apple Park in Cupertino as part of its “Wonderlust” launch event in Cupertino. Updates to the Apple Watch Series 9 and the cheaper SE were also announced.
