Apple Watch Ultra 2 is one of those devices that tries to pack a lot into one package. Let us see if Apple has managed to put together a phone that is actually worth your money. Announced in 2023, September 12, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes with a 1.92 inches display, pushing a resolution of 502 x 410 pixels (~338 ppi density), and in real-world use it looks bright, crisp and easy on the eyes. The build feels well put together, and Apple has clearly paid attention to the in-hand feel. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Titanium.
Performance & Software
Powering the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the Apple S9, which means smooth scrolling, quick app switching and no real hiccups in normal use. It runs watchOS 10, upgradable to watchOS 27 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
Photography is handled by a main shooter that should cover most situations, from daylight shots to the occasional low-light frame. Expect solid detail in good light, with the usual softness creeping in once the sun goes down.
Battery
Keeping the lights on is a Li-Ion 564 mAh cell. With moderate use you can expect to end the day with charge to spare.
