Should I preorder the Apple Watch Ultra 2?
It’s only been a year since the launch of the original version, so it’s perhaps not much of a surprise that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 offers iterative upgrades.
The main change is the new S9 SiP, which is the new silicon that powers the wearable. It promises improved performance and increased capabilities while still maintaining the same 36-hour battery life (or 72 hours in Low Power Mode) and giving you a 50% brighter display.
You also get to use the new double tap gesture that allows you to press together your thumb and index finger in quick succession to control the primary button in an app - so you can take a call, pause your music, or take a photo on your connected iPhone. Pretty neat!
So, if you’re brand new to the Apple Watch Ultra and are looking for a rugged wearable for your hiking, diving, and running adventures, then it’s likely to be one of thebest smartwatchesavailable. For those with the previous version, the upgrades aren’t huge, so you may not need to rush to buy it.
