At its Wonderlust event, Apple has introduced the Apple Watch Ultra 2, a new rugged smartwatch for fitness and outdoor enthusiasts. The new Watch – successor to the first-gen Ultra launched last year – has a brighter display, a durable design, and a number of new health and fitness features.
Price and availabilityApple Watch Ultra 2 is available in 49 mm, and is carbon neutral when paired with a new Trail Loop or Alpine Loop.
New band colours are available for the Alpine Loop (blue, indigo, olive), Trail Loop (orange/beige, green/grey, blue/black), and Ocean Band (blue, orange). Buyers in India can order Apple Watch Ultra 2 today, with availability in stores beginning Friday, September 22. Apple Watch Ultra 2 is priced at Rs 89,900.
Key featuresThe Apple Watch Ultra comes powered with an all-new S9 processor, which is also found in the new Watch Series 9. Apple Watch Ultra 2 will offer up to 36 hours of battery life, claims the company. Apple Watch Ultra 2 will offer up to 3000 nits of brightness, which is the brightest display on an Apple Watch. Apple has also introduced a new Watch face with the Watch Ultra 2.
The built-in Depth app now saves a log of each session so users can review the most recent sessions on Apple Watch Ultra or view the complete history of all dives with a GPS entry point in the Fitness app on iPhone. Apple claims that the Watch Ultra 2 is designed for extremes and has been tested for use across the largest range of altitudes for any Apple product, from 500 meters below sea level to explore the lowest valleys, and up to 9,000 meters to ascend the world’s tallest peaks.
Apple is introducing FineWoven, a luxurious and durable microtwill made of 68 per cent post-consumer recycled content that has significantly lower carbon emissions compared to leather. FineWoven has a suedelike feel, and is available with the Magnetic Link and Modern Buckle bands. Starting today, Apple will no longer use leather in any new Apple product, including watch bands, said the company.
