Bloggers’ opinions on the Apple Watch Ultra

For the first time, a renowned smartphone and accessory manufacturer has interested consumers in a new watch design. And this is the first time in eight years. But, what does the media think of the Apple Watch Ultra.

Design

Despite the large 48mm size, the watch looks sleek. The case is made of quality titanium and weighs 61.3 grams without the strap – not much for this size. It feels light on the hand.

Some bloggers think that for a small wrist, the watch is very massive. If you are wearing it while sleeping, it feels strongly on your hand. Some of the controls are uncomfortable.

On the right is the digital crown. It still acts as a button. The Apple Watch Ultra has no protection that prevents accidental presses under the jacket. Due to its large size, it can even be used underwater while wearing gloves.

The watch fits 44mm and 45mm straps. The new watch has been carefully thought out and polished to perfection. Using the sensor in bad weather is difficult.

Display

The screen has increased in size. The font can be made larger. The screen accommodates more information. The flat display offers reliable protection against scratches. The brightness of the screen is good in the light.

The hardware

There are a few innovations. The first is the battery is increased by 75%. The Apple Watch Ultra

lasts longer than other watches. After two workouts and prolonged use, the battery is still charged.

The second change is GPS with L5 and L1 range. Another feature is Backtrack – the gadget will lead to the start of the route. But during the swim, the watch doesn’t show accurate data.

Ultra athletes

The gadget is packed with numerous features that will suit athletes. But for those who devote a lot of time to sports, the device will not be suitable.

The watch has no full-fledged offline maps and the GPS does not work accurately. The gadget doesn’t perform well in terrain without well-trodden paths.

But the battery life is on par, which for some users is important. There are indicators for transmitting heart rate to various devices via Bluetooth.

Swimming

The watch is, as the manufacturer claims, well protected against water. You can dive to depths of up to 40 meters. But its use is limited: the touchscreen display can perform poorly when there are drops on it, the gadget is difficult to use during prolonged exposure to salty water.

But this can be remedied after washing the watch with plain water, but sand and moving particles will cause some problems.

To sum up

Overall, the manufacturer offers consumers a good watch that can be used for active sports and health tracking. The new design will suit both girls and men. Despite its massive size, it looks good on a hand with a small wrist.

But the GPS sometimes doesn’t work very accurately, there are no full-fledged offline maps. So the Apple Watch Ultra is a great gadget among other watches from this manufacturer. For someone who doesn’t care about functionality, it’s a great option.
