The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a fantastic smartwatch and what I've been wearing for about a year. Here's why I'm getting rid of it.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a fantastic smartwatch. It’s big, stunning, and still the most capable Apple Watch you can buy today.
Related The key issue with the Apple Watch at the time was its battery life. Early versions promised all-day battery life, with the caveat that this didn’t mean 24 hours, but closer to 18 hours. It also took almost two hours to charge to full, which meant there was a significant period in which I couldn’t track my health.
The Apple Watch Ultra also had a bigger display, which appealed to the geek in me. The bigger display makes it easier to see more from your notifications, and while many people won’t use a watch for this, it’s one of my key use cases. I hate using my phone to see pertinent information at a glance, especially when some information is displayed on my wrist.
The Apple Watch Series 10 is thinner and sleeker than any previous Apple Watch. It also solves one part of the battery life problem by offering significantly faster charging while improving battery life. Surprisingly, the body is smaller than that of my Apple Watch Ultra 2, but the Apple Watch Series 10 also has a slightly larger display.
Battery life was my biggest concern when switching to the regular Apple Watch, and the Apple Watch Series 10 hasn’t alleviated this. It’s a solid one-day device, and a few days in, it lasts me around 36 hours. That’s not the same as the Apple Watch Ultra 2’s battery life, which regularly lasts over two days. It’s also not as good as the Google Pixel Watch 3, which is much closer to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, but it has improved over previous generations.
Despite the larger display, the Apple Watch Series 10 is much thinner and lighter than the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Twenty grams makes a big difference in day-to-day usage, and while the Apple Watch Ultra 2 has always felt like an anchor on my wrist, the Apple Watch Series 10 feels more like an analog watch in size and weight.
