Apple Watch Ultra is the most famous and best-selling watch of all time. This watch is best for those people who love to travel outside. And one of the best long-lasting battery and waterproof watches. Team GGC has tested Apple Watch Ultra for several weeks and after testing everything has performed very well as promised by Apple. Apple has tried to give us everything we want in a watch at this price.
Apple Watch Ultra: Design and display
Talking about the design of the Apple Watch Ultra, the watch looks very attractive on the wrist. The watch is a bit big in size. Comes with a thickness of 49mm. Which is flat in design. In some watches, you may have seen curved designs but you will not find such designs in Apple Watch Ultra. We used the watch for a few days and found it heavy. Which can be disturbing to keep on the wrist for a long time. But if you wear it continuously then you get used to it. And slowly you start feeling comfortable. The design of the watch has been simplified to change the straps. You can easily add your favorite straps to the watch. Which mainly I liked very much.
The display of the Apple Watch Ultra comes with a brightness of 2,000 nits. Which is really endearing. Apple’s Watch Series 8’s display can be said to be twice as bright. All contents can be easily seen on the display of the watch in sunlight. The display is large in size and without bezels. Which performs even better in workout mode. Apple has tried to fulfill the shortcomings of Apple’s Watch Series 8 in Watch Ultra.
The display withstands drops of water very well. The display touch works very well even in water. The watch has an increased water resistance of 100 meters. The bezels around the display are minimal or non-existent. Which is given to protect the display. The quality of the display is very good. Because the display is made with the help of sapphire glass.
APPLE WATCH ULTRA: Features
Apple has given full features to Apple Watch Ultra. In which you have the biggest feature track back, it gives you the facility to come back a few steps. If you have gone for a walk. With the support of the compass app, you can also flag anywhere. The skin temperature sensor is available on the watch. And if there is ever an accident, then the crash detection feature helps very well. And facility like precision start is also available in the watch. which starts you off with a countdown before the activity starts. I particularly liked this feature and it is fantastic to have these features at this price. Along with all the features of Apple’s Watch Series 8 watch, Apple has added some new features to the Watch Ultra. And it is getting better day by day.
The Apple Watch Ultra has a unique Wayfinder watch face. allowing you to see all the external sport-adjacent complications in a single watchface. You can completely customize the watch face. A rotated crown has been given on the side of the Apple Watch. You can rotate and change the watch face. The face turns red for better visibility in the dark. And dual-frequency GPS facility is available in the watch. Apple says that this GPS tells more accurately. But when we looked at the location of our office from Google Maps, we could not find much difference in it.
Talking about the tracking of the Apple Watch Ultra, the watch is very accurate in tracking. In which we compared the data of the watch from some health perspective to a health checker device, we could not see any difference. Apple has really done a great job. And the quality of the inbuilt mic in the watch is amazing. We saw during call testing that the output given from the mic was very good.
APPLE WATCH ULTRA: Bigger Size and Physical Controls
Apple Watch Ultra comes with a decent display size of 49mm which reading on the display during a workout is not a challenge. This watch is especially not for very small wrists. According to the size of the watch, after wearing the watch on the wrist, you will get a premium feel and you will not regret the payment made. The weight of the watch is 61.3 grams. Which can be called a bit heavy. But as soon as you start wearing it, you will gradually feel it lighter.
Apple Workout Data You can see the data in 6 lines on the screen using the Apple Workout app. It is easy to see the data on mobile, whereas it can be difficult to see the display of the watch while running. On the other hand, if we talk about physical controls, then the first action button you can program or customize according to your own. I found this feature interesting in Apple Watch. You don’t need to toggle menus much to get to a function. You can go there directly through the action button. This can make your most used functions easier.
There are two big buttons on the side of the watch. There is a crown. By rotating you can change the watch face. The sides are slightly bigger with the metal build. The second side speaker has been given. Which gives a very good out. And the mic and speaker work very well on calling. You will be able to press the button easily while cycling as the button size is big. and it’s easy to use.
APPLE WATCH ULTRA: Battery Life & Water Resistance
Talking about the battery life of the Apple Watch Ultra, the battery can be a big reason for buying the watch. Because the watch lasts for more than 20 hours with full-day use. With this Apple says. Battery life will be further extended with the next software update. But by keeping the watch in low power mode, the battery lasts for 60 hours.
Apple Watch Series 8 was tested by our team. But on the other hand, in Watch Ultra, we got a better experience than Watch Series 8 which was mainly for the battery. In our test, after wearing the watch continuously for a day, we had to charge it in the afternoon the next day, which gave us a total backup of 32 hours. If you set the battery with the proper routine, then you can maintain the life of the battery for a long time. But we have hope. Apple will try to increase it further in its upcoming watch. Apple Watch supports ultra-fast charging. Overall the battery backup of the watch is excellent.
The watch offers resistance to a water depth of up to 100 meters in ultra water resistance. Which we can say more than Apple’s previous watches. Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 2 had 50M water resistance, but Apple has improved it further in Watch Ultra. And Watch Ultra has been a winner in comparison to both these watches.
APPLE WATCH ULTRA: Health & fitness tracking
Talking about health and fitness tracking in Apple Watch Ultra, tracking performs better with both Apple’s software and hardware. Tracking for runners, hikers, and cyclists works via the L1 and L5 frequency GPS bands. Apple Watch provides stick data of each location in tracking.
When I went jogging wearing the Apple Watch Ultra, the watch tracked all the activity on the jogging path very well. This included my heart rate and rhythm. Which was to be won at normal speed. You may want to try the watch by looking at the Apple Watch’s tracking and fitness plans.
Apple Watch Ultra attracts hikers a lot due to its features. Which compass app is the best feature? It gives you three views. The better of these is the backtrack feature. That lets you get back to your starting point on long off-path hikes. But at this price, we can also expect these features. There is no need to be surprised by this.
