TWO WEEKS WITH THE APPLE WATCH ULTRA
Tougher than the wrist
Apple’s given its Watch extra chunkiness and bonus smarts – Dan Grabham spends a gruelling fortnight finding out if the Ultra is worth the extra cash

DAY 01
No longer a mere status symbol, the Apple Watch has become one of the essential (and even mainstream) tech purchases of recent years. The new Ultra model is the first real supercharging of the concept, if you ignore the crazy-expensive and now discontinued Apple Watch Editions, and represents something of a move forward in terms of design.
So it’s with some excitement that I take delivery of a Watch Ultra complete with an orange Alpine Loop, plus a yellow Ocean Band that can be adjusted to fit over a wetsuit or similar. Note that you can use the Ultra with any Apple Watch band from the past, which is excellent news, and the charger is the same.
