Apple has unveiled the latest addition to its premium wearable lineup, the Apple Watch Ultra 2, featuring an all-new black titanium finish. Packed with enhanced features through watchOS 11, this rugged and versatile smartwatch is aimed at athletes and adventurers, boasting the most accurate GPS on any sports watch, a display with 3,000 nits of brightness, and an impressive battery life of up to 36 hours (or 72 hours in Low Power Mode).
What’s New with Apple Watch Ultra 2
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 builds on the foundation of its predecessor, offering powerful new capabilities, including:
- watchOS 11 enhancements: Featuring advanced insights from the Vitals app, a new Tides app for outdoor enthusiasts, and additional customization options for the Action button.
- Black titanium finish: A custom blasting process and a diamond-like carbon coating make the finish not only stylish but also durable and scratch-resistant.
- Updated bands: The Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band now come in a black hardware option to complement the new black titanium finish. The new Titanium Milanese Loop offers both elegance and functionality, designed for water activities.
Enhanced Performance and Durability
Apple Watch Ultra 2 is ideal for a wide range of sports and outdoor activities. It offers the brightest display ever on an Apple product, ensuring clear visibility even in the harshest conditions. The precision dual-frequency GPS system provides the most accurate tracking for runners, cyclists, swimmers, hikers, and even divers.
Athletes can also enjoy new metrics for training load, while the Vitals app gives users real-time health insights, particularly while they sleep. The watch also supports offline maps, crucial for hikers exploring remote areas without internet connectivity.
For those seeking a blend of luxury and rugged performance, the Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 2 pairs the durable titanium case with a nautically inspired Hermès En Mer band and an exclusive Hermès watch face. It’s designed for those who want high-end style with all the features that Apple Watch Ultra 2 offers.

Pokdepinion: I would really want one but I don’t think I have an active enough lifestyle to make full use of it. Perhaps I’ll go with the Series 10.
