Like other Apple Watches, the Watch Ultra has the full complement of smartwatch features for the non-elite lifestyle, including: By some margin, it’s Apple’s most compelling smartwatch to date, ready for some action, but perfect for the indolent lifestyle, too. It’s for people like me, and, in all statistical probability, people like you. Intersected with the set of people who can afford to spend $1299 on a watch, and the set of people who have an iPhone. These are the people the Apple Watch Ultra is for. The battery life isn’t miserable for once. The Apple Watch Ultra isn’t just about looks, impressive as they may be. So that leaves the rest of us, those of us who are active without being extreme about it those of us who wish we were a little more adventurous but don’t wish it enough to strap ourselves into a harness and jump and those of us who dream of being elite athletes, but have other lives to lead.

The Apple Watch Ultra isn’t quite that hardcore. When their remains get recovered from the ash, it’s still going to be a Garmin smartwatch strapped to their wrist, or a Suunto. But if you like abseiling into active volcanos, this is not the smartwatch for you.įor two good reasons – limited battery life, and limited GPS navigation – the Watch Ultra probably isn’t going to be the smartwatch of choice for hard-core action junkies who, I don’t know, like to abseil into an active volcano wearing only a swimsuit, a digital wristwatch and pair of Vibram FiveFingers. It’s not for the intrepid adventurers and elite athletes Apple pictures in the ads for this exciting new, action-oriented smartwatch. For whom did Apple build the Watch Ultra? That’s a jolly good question with jolly good grammar.
