The Apple Watch Ultra is a capable smartwatch for divers and adventurers, but so-called tool watches need justification to wear. Here's how to pull it off.
I’m accustomed to making excuses about why I am wearing a watch that performs a specific purpose really well, despite not taking advantage of said purpose. For example, I love wearing divers watches, but I can’t remember the last time my head was beneath the surface of any body of water.
The phrase is overused today, and can be attached to watches that absolutely are not tool watches, but luxury timepieces that put aesthetics and desirability ahead of any expectation that the wearer will regularly make use of its impressive functionality. What happens at this point is you wear a complex, statement-making watch with features you end up explaining to people, who then question why exactly you need such a thing on your wrist.
What does this have to do with the Apple Watch Ultra? If you wear the Apple Watch Ultra, then you will face the same situation as the James Bond wannabe. Why? Because for a start, Apple also announced the Apple Watch Series 8 during its September 7 Far Out event, and it has more than enough tech, toughness, and safety features for the average urbanite. Second, if you’re not an actual adventurer, you probably won’t need all the things the Ultra can do, ever.
Get ready to justify your purchase Here’s a scenario. You’ve got your new Apple Watch Ultra on your wrist, and you’ve just demonstrated the siren. When the ringing in everyone’s ears has stopped, brows will furrow, and someone will say, “Why do you need that?” The time has come when you must justify your tool watch to the incredulous masses.
