Apple Watch Ultra 2, the most rugged and capable Apple Watch, pushes the limits again. Featuring the all-new S9 SiP, a magical new way to use your watch without touching the screen, and the brightest Apple display ever. The Guardian’s review calls it “.”
Samuel Gibbs for The Guardian:
It didn’t require much to keep Apple’s smartwatches at the top of the pack, but both the Series 9 and Ultra 2 have small but meaningful updates that will take some beating, even if they don’t look any different on the outside.
Significantly brighter screens make a world of difference when trying to read the time, alerts and exercise metrics at a glance outdoors. The faster chip will make sure the watch remains rapid over the next few years, and makes interacting with Siri super-quick even when not near your phone.
The upcoming double-tap gesture is a nice add-on, too, and makes moments such as checking train times while rushing with bags in hand a little easier.
If you want the best smartwatch for an iPhone, there’s still no beating the Apple Watch in either flavour.
MacDailyNews Take: Both the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are noticeably better than their immediate predecessors.

They left out the part where the Ultra 2 is literally unusably DIM in the dark, even with brightness set to max. I’ve returned TEO Ultra 2’a with the issue, and so have countless others…yet Ape refuses to even acknowledge it. WatchOS 10 also massively DIMMED mu Ultra 1 in the same dark conditions.
Not even Accessibility allows ANY WAY to brighten the unusably dark screen in the dark.
And no its not a setting. I have been an Apple device TRAINER for years and know what I’m doing.
Apple is tone deaf to these massive over-sights.
