It’s not just the most devoted users who eagerly await the arrival of a new star in Apple’s constellation each year. With the Apple Watch, the company has long since won over many who tend to feel more at home in the PC world. While the Apple Watch Ultra has been considered the pinnacle of the range until now, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 proves once again that the developers in California are always ready to raise the bar. “The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has made significant strides compared to its predecessor – especially with improved features and a longer battery life of around three days. Despite its recognisable design, it’s immediately clear that this is a new watch. Apple stays true to its signature style – the products feel familiar, yet consistently introduce subtle enhancements,” noted the jury. Striking the well-known balance between ruggedness and wearing comfort, it is designed for active users who benefit from the latest features in watchOS 11 – all with a smart assistant right on the wrist. Whether cycling, being active above or below water, hiking in the mountains or sleeping – the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a stylish companion in any situation. Thanks to enhanced sensors, a brighter display and a faster chip, users enjoy seamless transitions between apps and precise tracking of their activities. Its durability comes from a specialised process used to create the new black titanium finish. The diamond-like carbon coating, applied to grade 5 titanium using physical vapour deposition, makes it scratch-resistant and long-lasting. On the reverse side, the glass is crafted from dark zirconia to match. Limited editions have become a much-loved Apple tradition. This time, the Apple Watch Hermès Ultra 2 brings a refined highlight to the strap collection. Nautically inspired and paired with an exclusive dial from the French fashion house, it blends robustness and elegance into wearable high-tech. Don’t call it a watch – call it an Apple Watch Ultra 2.
