Hands-On Images Offer First Look at All-New Apple Watch Ultra

[symphony]

The features are so cool. But I prefer stainless steel to go with my other bands. I get that it’s meant to be durable, but I want it for the features. I can probably look past it’s atrocious design for it’s features.

 

[Howyalikdemapls]

Excited for Series 9!

 

[ManNBlack]

Nicks already? How tough is it supposed to be?

My question as well. I can only assume it was a model put through serious paces or used during testing.

 

[planteater]

I don't think Jony Ive would have approved this one.

I think he designed it.

 

[krell100]

Wow that is HUGE. For those of us with small wrists there's no way this would work.

 

[Howyalikdemapls]

What an ugly pig of a thing.

I’d totally wear it hiking.

I might buy this if I worked as a zip-line instructor in Alaska or was a mountain climber or something, but as a regular Joe-schmoe that works in an office wearing business attire this is not the watch for me.

Glad it’ll fit the bill for some! But I’d way rather a redesigned classy stainless steel watch. Maybe next year

Light reflections, not scratches.

I wish they had an AR feature on the store for this watch, just to see how it looks on your wrist

 

[MallardDuck]

would love to see it side by side with an 8

Same. And the ss s8 watch isn’t much of an upgrade. So maybe next year.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Already nicks all over the watch and protrusion edges

Reflections of the lights, not nicks.

 

[MallardDuck]

I know. I'm a little worried about the size and ruggedness. I order it already too. I'm looking forward to the battery life!

The battery life is what put me over the edge...ordered one. Figure if it's huge, i'll return and get an 8.

Series 7 and 8 are the same size so this does the trick. That's a 45mm Series 7.

[ProfessionalFan]

To which "one thousand dollar" watch are you referring?

 

[Veraxus]

Nicks already? How tough is it supposed to be?

Given it made out of titanium, it's more likely it's just reflections from the show floor lighting on the slightly bevelled edge.

 

[YoungLay]

What color is the watch is it like a bronze or gold?

 

[ProfessionalFan]

What color is the watch is it like a bronze or gold?

It is natural titanium which is like a silvery gray color.

I swear, this thing isn't even being used by the masses out in the wild yet, and you all have it smashed into pieces at the bottom of the ravine after it bumped against a rock. Sorry - I'm not THAT cynical. Good grief! I'm sure it will perform just fine and that the glass won't break any easier than any other watch an outdoor enthusiast might wear. And obviously they still give consideration to form, but it's not primary here.

No ravines or smashed watch hyperbole from me. Just seeing and commenting on what sure looks like several dings along the edge in the OP photo.

 

[jlc1978]

I have one quick question. I know I will be in my home city when the watch arrives, but the timing on the phone might place me in NYC. Is there any way to choose a NY store for pickup, when I don't live in that city?

Enter the Zip Code in the order for where you want to pickup.

Light reflections, not dings.

 

[robco74]

I'm annoyed that there is no more Watch Edition. I love the Ti - it's lighter than the SS, less prone to scratching, and weighs less. I don't need this chunky beast of an exercise watch though.

Still, my Series 5 is still going strong. There haven't been enough new features in later versions to convince me to upgrade. Maybe the sleep tracking?

 

[SSDGUY]

Light reflections, not dings.

Maybe so. Seems odd the way they're showing in the photo. I'd think if dents did happen, I would think Apple would pull the item. Still, a rounded edge would make more long term practical sense IMO.

 

[t76turbo]

Wow, not a big market!

All you folks talking about the market being small for large watches obviously DO NOT keep up with current luxury watch trends. The norm for the newer lux male watches is around 47mm. Even stodgy old Rolex offers that size in the Sea Dweller Deap Sea. Panerai is another. Lots and lots of others out there doing the same.

I dont care either way except for the fact that I own a ton of aapl stock. But I dont care what watch people wear. I'm just saying large watches are more normal than you think.
