Apple Unveils Apple Watch Ultra With Large-Screen Design for Athletes and Explorers

[dojoman]

I think Apple is confusing Ultra branding with Samsung’s product. 🤣

Dive app only 19.99 month

Would be a dick move, already got a dive computer though, but a backup is always nice.

I love it!

My Casio G-Shock has 2 years battery life.

Yep, so using his own logic, his Garmin is a joke 😉

I would pay $899 if it had built in solar charging.

Even more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.

HAHAHAHHAHA

Oh, you're serious?

That’s it guys finally NASA can go to Mars with the Apple ultra watch release.

 

[decypher44]

Looks like it does everything the S8 does PLUS more, correct?

Seriously Apple no sapphire crystal = not rugged!!

also, action button?? you mean lap button!!!

The “waypoint” feature looks amazing for finding your way back if you’re lost and off the grid. Of course, they should also add this for the regular watch, as it looks like it is driven by GPS.

I wonder, could the regular watch see this feature next year? Apple could follow a pattern of adding new software features to the Ultra over an exclusive period (say, one year) and then subsequently add them to the regular watch.

”Large Screen Design” but did they confirm actual size or 49mm?

Ultra looks good on Tim

 

[Supra Mac]

Apple Watch now has a NOTCH (on the side).

 

[Andronicus]

I need this for when I walk 30 mins a day.

 

[joefrank64k]

Oh man...come on store!!!

Freaking good idea if possible

Getting my penguin friend in Antarctica the Ultra for Christmas.

 

[JGIGS]

Ugliest Watch ever.

Bring Jony back!

Looks better than most rugged watches. But I'm not rugged so I'm not paying like $1,200 CAD for it. Looking like I'll be rocking my S3 at least one more year. Doh! Need that flat display on the regular versions.

 

[Maclurker26]

Cool story bro

 

[criticasm]

You know what, they did make good points about the design in aspect of durability. Flat screen less likely to break etc & those bands are pretty innovative. That said, it's BIG, maybe a wider rather than taller face would suit more wrists. And the huge battery life is nice. Now let's see how many folks bleed their wallet to get one & never take it outside of a cafe.

 

[mikosk]

Curious for those that have a Garmin or other sports-dedicated watch, is the Ultra enough to switch or does Garmin still win the day for extreme athletes?

 

[DeepStuff]

For those with huge wrist, this may be a pretty attractive option.

I thought they mentioned sapphire face

 

[jmpage2]

I am ordering this as soon as it is available as it will be so much better for my mountain biking and back country adventures.

This watch is made for athletes and outdoors people, not for looking swanky when you get a latte at the coffee shop.
