Source: Digitec GalaxusAlthough it is a very clear update - the bottom line is that it is the best Apple Watch to date.
The Ultra 2 is heavy, bulky and expensive. But many users love it for one reason: the battery lasts three times as long as the Apple Watch 9, plus there are extras such as dive mode and a strong titanium case. Thanks to many sports apps and simple operation, it is an alternative to sports watches such as the Garmin Epix Pro.
With so few noticeable improvements for the user compared to the original, it is not worth upgrading to the Ultra 2. For everyone else, however, it is a phenomenal smartwatch with excellent battery life.
