Apple Watch Ultra 2
- Thanks to the new chip, this Apple Watch is faster than its predecessors.

- On the large and bright 49mm screen you'll see all your fitness information at the glance of an eye during your workout.
- This smartwatch of 49mm is larger than other Apple Watch models.

First impression of the Apple Watch Ultra 2
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a large watch of 49mm. This is way too big for my wrist, which has a circumference of 14cm. The watch moved a lot during my workout. Despite this, the Watch Ultra 2 feels nice. It fits well around your wrist. The Ultra 2 is available with straps in different sizes, so make sure you choose the right strap size. Measure your wrist to see which size strap fits you best.
Longest battery life of an Apple Watch
In my opinion, the long battery life is the greatest advantage of the Ultra 2. The Apple Watch 9 and SE only last 1 day. The Apple Watch Ultra lasts 2 days, even if I used it during my workout. This drains the battery quicker. I like that I don't have to charge this smartwatch every day. I charge other Apple Watch models every night. Since I don't have to do this now, I can track my sleep.
Standard Apple functions and Double Tap
The most noteworthy new function is the Double Tap function. When I tap my thumb and index finger against each other twice, I can easily scroll through the menu or pause my music. I notice that I don't use the function a lot. I automatically use my finger to scroll or tap the screen. I can read my messages on the watch and make contactless payments via Apple Pay. This is similar to other Apple Watch models.
Conclusion
Do you want an Apple Watch with a large, clear screen that you don't have to charge every single day? The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is suitable for you. The robust design makes this Watch Ultra 2 different from other Apple Watch models. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 doesn't differ much from other models in terms of functions.
