The Apple Watch Ultra represents the first redesign of the most popular timepiece in the world since its launch back in 2015. It has slightly changed in size in recent times, but the Ultra is a completely different Watch and one which has intentions above and beyond what has come before. For some it fixes areas that had previously held back their Apple Watch experience, and for others it simply adds a new look to a software experience that is very familiar, but Apple is aiming the Ultra at those who want to be a little more adventurous. With this comes a raft of new software features and sensors that can be used every day or only when they are needed, and in the right circumstance they could save your life. The added functionality for diving is highly impressive as is the ability to alert others when you are in trouble, but there is much more to understand and take advantage of.
We will show you every major feature and explain how to make the most of them, all with the intention being to ensure that you take full advantage of what is arguably the best modern sports watch of all.
FIND YOUR WAY
The Wayfinder watch face is only available on the Ultra and is designed to aid you when undertaking more extreme adventures, and especially in adverse conditions. The face is laden with data, but still easy to read no matter the conditions.
A WHERE ARE YOU?
Tap the bezel and you will be presented with a live compass that moves around as the Watch changes location. The exact direction is displayed in the top sub–dial so you can be certain of the way forward.
B MULTIPLE PURPOSES
The bezel can be set by default to display the latitude/longitude, elevation/incline or nothing but the time
