Apple's best smartwatch so far has it all, but carries a hefty price tag as well.
. Both the crown and the side button are enclosed in a raised side bezel, in a move which aims to make them both more easily accessible when wearing gloves. Although the semi-enclosed nature of the Digital Crown required some getting used to on my part, I generally enjoyed the raised design of the hardware buttons in regular, mundane day-to-day usage.
The display, now completely flat unlike other Apple Watch models, has been greatly improved. Aside from being protected by scratch-resistant sapphire, it can get super-bright, not to mention that thanks to its larger size, it fits so much content. Watch faces also look stunning on the OLED display and the viewing angles are satisfactory.
You get your regular roster of health-related functionalities, including: heart-rate monitoring, blood oxygen, ECG monitoring with AFib detection, improved cycle tracking that now takes into account your bodily temperature changes to predict ovulation, respiratory rate, finally granular sleep tracking, and more.
The revamped Compass app truly shines on the Apple Watch Ultra thanks to its dual-frequency GPS, which would fare better than regular single-frequency GPS when navigating through the thick of the city.

A full charge usually takes around an hour or so, though a completely usable 80% top-up takes just an hour. The Apple Watch Ultra still uses the same Apple S8 SiP chipset that was used in the Apple Watch Series 8 an Apple Watch SE, a 1.8GHz dual-core 64-bit ordeal built on a 7nm manufacturing node.
