Apple Watch Ultra 2 Gets Satin Black Finish, Titanium Milanese Loop, and Hermès Model

[MacRumors]

Apple today introduced some updates to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, including a new titanium band and a dark color optiond.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is now available in an all-new Satin Black finish, alongside the existing Natural titanium casing. The new black titanium finish is achieved through a custom blasting process, and it features a diamond-like carbon coating that enhances its scratch resistance and durability. The back crystal is made from dark zirconia to match the striking new look.

In addition to the new finish, Apple has introduced a new Titanium Milanese Loop for the Apple Watch Ultra, designed for both water activities and stylish everyday wear. The lightweight, corrosion-resistant band is woven from aerospace-grade titanium, featuring a dual-button parachute-style buckle. It is available in both Natural and Satin Black finishes.

Apple is also extending its collaboration with Hermès to the Apple Watch Ultra, introducing a new Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 2. This edition features a titanium buckle and a specially designed Hermès Maritime watch face. The Hermès Ultra 2 includes a new En Mer band made from high-density textured knit, providing durability for water sports while retaining a premium feel.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes with a suite of new features in watchOS 11, including sleep apnea notifications, a Vitals app for key overnight health metrics, and a new Tides app for open water activity tracking. The Action button now offers expanded customization options, allowing users to switch actions with a long press, including options like Voice Memos, Shazam, and Stopwatch.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 2, and the new Titanium Milanese Loop are available for pre-order today, starting at $799, with launch on September 20.

WTF, no Ultra 3 😐

The new color is cool and all, but no updates at all to the Ultra this year? Not even a new chip?! Are you kidding?

 

[joey561]

Ahh, Satin Black Finis. Cheers Macrumors

 

[GDF]

Curious of comparisons now between AW 10 and AW2. Have an AW 2, but not sure worth upgrading to AW 10, although seems like a lot of new tech features.

 

[xDKP]

So Series 10 gets new display tech, new chip, new water sensors etc. and the year old Ultra 2 just gets a band and a color ?!

 

[Supercyborgninja]

The Ultra will remain the ugliest product in a long time, in black or not.

It just does not look good.

 

[LeeW]

I like the black finish, but I am not upgrading my current U2 just for a colour change..

 

[MayaUser]

so ultra the most expensive S9 and series 10 with S10 chip

 

[Pixelspeeper]

I was dreaming a black ultra but I wouldn't purchase a year old watch just for the color, my current original ultra is just fine

 

[DaDaDeDe]

That satin black is beautiful.

I think it looks great!

 

[Pixelspeeper]

WTF, no Ultra 3 😐

The new color is cool and all, but no updates at all to the Ultra this year? Not even a new chip?! Are you kidding?

we don't need an ultra 3 at least for now

 

[McWetty]

Black looks great, but I’m not upgrading my Ultra 1 just for sleep apnea detection and black.

Me too, I wouldn't buy a year old ultra 2 just for the black color

 

[Lucas Curious]

I have the new black MacBook max and it’s easy to stain it and scratch the black off. I wouldn’t buy a black watch as I bang mine against hard surfaces sometimes. My Mac is already banged up and shows aluminum color in scratches.

 

[FattiesGoneWild]

Confused. Apple said Ultra 2 getting sleep apnea detection. Is that for CURRENT users? Or a whole new release under Ultra 2 but with S10 chip?!?!

 

[antekkkkk]

Can anyone tell me if they saw the Apple Watch Ultra showing more than 40meters for the Freediving app? Is this a watchos 11 thing?

 

[Brien]

WHY no smaller Ultra? Does Apple truly sell that few of the smaller Watches to not bother? Is this another iPhone mini situation?

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

The amount of micro scratches you'll probably see on that.

 

[dagored]

I was dreaming a black ultra but I wouldn't purchase a year old watch just for the color, my current original ultra is just fine

Thank you Apple for saving me money.

A name change for the SIP from S9 to S10 hasn’t always meant it was faster. Unless I missed it, I didn’t hear anything about speed improvements over the S9.

It’s possible that the S9 and S10 have the similar or even the same processing power but it is other variables that triggered the name change.

 

[Noctilux.95]

The new finish and Hermes band will make the Ultra 2 even faster at emptying your pocket.

 

[rwilliams]

Can't wait for the new bands.

 

[gadgets.loco]

Had a S3 that kicked the bucket a couple months ago, can’t wait to get the black ultra 3 once the Apple Store starts the preorder

oops meant ultra 2 black 😣

 

[jimothyGator]

I do like the new Milanese Loop band for the Ultra. I've got a Series 4, so while I was hoping for an Ultra 3, this would still be a big update for me.
