WATCH ULTRA
How to get the most out of Apple’s smartest, most durable Watch ever
FIND YOUR WAY
The Wayfinder watch face is only available on the Ultra and is designed to aid you when undertaking more extreme adventures, and especially in adverse conditions. The face is laden with data, but still easy to read no matter the conditions.
CUSTOMIZE WAYFINDER
Almost all Apple Watch faces can be tweaked to your preferences, but for the Wayfinder it is especially important. The layout can become very crowded, and because it is a face you’ll need during harsh activities, you should spend time making it work for you.
TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF PRECISION DUAL‐FREQUENCY GPS
The L1 standard is the oldest GPS and contains two codes, and the L5 standard is designed for high–performance needs — together they make a formidable team to help the Ultra provide the best possible location data at all times.
TAKE THE BATTERY EVEN FURTHER
The Ultra offers twice as much battery performance as all other Apple Watches and this goes a long way to justifying the extra size of the device. Plus with Low Power Mode activated, you can almost double the battery life again.
TRACKING BACK TO YOUR SAFE POSITION
The Ultra is marketed as an adventure watch, and when you are exploring a location with very few people around it helps a great deal to know where safety is — this is where the clever Backtrack function will come in extremely handy.
TRACK YOUR CYCLE WITH THE TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The Apple Watch Ultra includes two temperature sensors that can be used to measure skin temperature. This can in turn be utilized to help keep track of your ovulation cycle, so it could be crucial in the right circumstances.
MORE WORKOUT DATA WHILE YOU EXERCISE
The larger Ultra display enables you to view more metrics at the same time, and in a way that still makes each one instantly understandable. With the Ultra, the information flow and display of real–time data is even smoother.
HOW DEEP IS YOUR DIVE?
The Depth app is designed to start working from the moment the Ultra is submerged. You need to enable “Auto–Launch App” in Settings > General where the Depth app will be listed, and from this point on it will kick in the moment the Watch is under water.
IMPROVED HEALTH TRACKING
It is undeniable how focused Apple has been in protecting the health of its users. As the health–tracking features become more honed you can start to have more trust in the results, to the point that serious illnesses may even be spotted much earlier.
CELLULAR CHANGES EVERYTHING
All Ultra Watches have cellular functionality built in, and there’s so much you can do without ever taking your iPhone out of your pocket. With low monthly prices, a longer battery and a bigger screen, it could be time to leave your phone at home more often.
THE ACTION BUTTON
The new Action button on the Ultra is the first new input mechanism on an Apple Watch since it was originally launched. It can be used in emergency situations or for extremely quick access to a task you need very often.
THE BEST FEATURES REMAIN, AND SOME ARE EVEN BETTER
The more powerful battery and improved GPS mean that you can enjoy the classic Apple Watch features even more on the Ultra. The device is fast becoming a tool that can handle the majority of your digital needs no matter how busy your days are.
TOUGHER THAN EVER
A watch by its nature will be prone to knocks and scrapes, and this is magnified when it is used in harsh environments. The Ultra Watch is designed for outdoor adventures and the build quality is obvious from the moment you unbox it.
A GENUINE DIVE COMPUTER
The Oceanic+ app will effectively turn the Ultra into a fully fledged dive computer and bring with it a host of features to keep you safe. It has the potential to replace expensive standalone equipment and to completely change the way you dive.
SUPERIOR SPECIFICATIONS
The main reason to purchase an Apple Watch Ultra over the previous offerings, or even the Series 8, is because of the improved specs. These work together to make the Ultra more usable in a variety of conditions, and they add a great deal to the value.
