Apple has unveiled an all-new Apple Watch line: Apple Watch Ultra. The device is now available to preorder and will begin shipping on Sept. 23.
Revealed alongside the Apple Watch Series 8, the new Ultra offers a more rugged Apple Watch experience with several features aimed at elite athletes, hikers and scuba divers. The Ultra offers biggest and brightest Apple Watch display yet with a 49mm titanium case and a flat sapphire front crystal. The device is more durable than ever with MIL-STD-810H-grade certification for altitude, temperature and dust, as well as a higher water-resistance rating up to EN13319 for diving. There’s also a new customizable Action button that offers instant access to a range of features to suit your needs.
A headline feature of the Apple Watch Ultra for outdoor types is the increased battery life, now up to 36 hours per charge — double that of the regular Apple Watch models — and that can be extended to up to 60 hours with a new low-power setting.
The Apple Watch Ultra starts at $799 (£849, AU$1,299). We’ll be sure to keep our eyes peeled for any Apple Watch Ultra deals as they appear.
