What if there's a 4th Pro Model?

 

[shr631]

It’s great for people who run races in the desert followed by some scuba diving. Otherwise, it might not be for you.

What about for people to check their mail followed by paying at Starbucks?

Ultra is overkill for most people.

So are most Macbooks, but people still buy them and insist they need 32GB of RAM and 2TB internal SSD to watch YouTube videos and surf the web.

This thing will be incredibly expensive. Remember, it has a titanium case, cellular, and it's a brand-new product.

 

[lazyrighteye]

Loving that HUGE face. Thing is sick. But that price makes me sicker. 🤢😂

 

[citysnaps]

For the right person, the Ultra looks awesome.

For sure. Certainly in a whole other watch category no other company is addressing. It will do very well.

Not for coders/gamers.

 

[DMG35]

The regular Titanium Apple Watch was $849. The Ultra is going to be well over $1000.

Ultra is so tough. You can use it to break your car windows to save your pets lol

 

[buckwheet]

Yeah like it doesn't make too much sense to me, it could be used for men too to see if they have a fever.

Just aside from that, from a marketing perspective it isn't smart.

OMFG, do you really think anyone needs to be told that it could be used to check for fever? The ovulation information is being highlighted because 1) it significantly impacts a huge portion of the population, who may previously have had no interest whatsoever in a smart watch, and 2) it requires some AI/ML for inference/prediction, beyond the use of the new temperature sensor. Any garden variety idiot can understand that it could be used for detecting fever—they don't need to market that.

EDIT: 3) it's probably not obvious to many that you can get this kind of information about ovulation from a temperature sensor and some AI. So again, a very good reason to highlight it as a feature.

Too big for my frail wrists, lol

One more thing....The Apple Watch Extreme

 

[Speechless]

I'm out of breath just watching this.

 

[tonie walker]

…none for my use case seems my life is boring no adventure, will settle for S8

 

[skippermonkey]

It's like a computer on your wrist!!

 

[Reds622]

For the niche wearer... looks great (although I'm not aware of what's already on the market).

For the everyday wearer who also exercises, hikes, etc... guess it depends on how BIG it actually is.

Design is nice.

 

[yaxomoxay]

In all fairness to the Ultra, a common complaint by serious and extreme athletes is that the AW isn’t good enough. Now they have what they need.

 

[Slash787]

So does the Series 8 tells the normal body temperature also or just tells when a person would ovulate?

 

[DMG35]

$1500??

 

[city_17]

It's great so your relatives can always see where you got eaten by a shark.

 

[JPack]

over or under $1100?

Over. The base titanium S7 Watch is $799.

 

[routine_analyst]

What an ugly watch. Remember when we all complained about the red ring? Now it's an orange button AND ring.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

On a bigger wrist, it looks really good. As expected.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Most Rugged Watch ever!!! Love the battery life for Apple Watch Ultra.

 

[Shanghaichica]

The ultra is really good but I would never use any of the features apart from the better battery life and night mode.

 

[DavidChoux]

Not a diver, but if was I'd probably use much more professional equipment than an Apple watch. Diving is quite dangerous.
