The new Apple Watch Ultra (formerly known as the Apple Watch Pro when it was only a rumour), which was given a lot of attention at the presentation and is a significant deal both in terms of size and significance. See everything Apple's brand-new smartwatch category has to offer.

The Apple Watch Ultra stands out from Apple's other wearables right away. It sports a massive 49mm casing that houses the largest (and brightest) Apple Watch display to date.

The titanium case has a raised edge to safeguard the display. Under a flat sapphire crystal cover, the display is located. The display's claimed brightness of up to 2,000 nits by Apple is astounding (literally!).

Wayfinder is a brand-new watchface that Apple designed especially for the bigger display. It can be tailored for the many conditions you'll encounter and can hold a lot more data.

The Apple Watch Ultra sports a new Action button painted in high-contrast international orange on the left side, along with an additional speaker that can be used to create an 86-decibel siren for emergencies. You can personalise the button to provide quick access to Workouts, Compass Waypoints, or Backtrack, a tool that lets you navigate a trail in reverse.

On the right side, you'll find the standard home button and digital crown. The crown features deeper grooves and a wider diameter. Apple promises that the Watch Ultra's three microphones can make you heard even in windy conditions.

Moving on, the Apple Watch Ultra has a longer battery life than its competitors thanks to its larger size. It can last up to 60 hours in an ultra-low power mode that will be available later this year, or up to 36 hours with an always-on display, automatic workouts, and constant heart rate.

A word on endurance. The Watch Ultra can withstand temperatures of -20° C and 55° C. It complies with MIL-STD-810H in terms of low pressure (altitude), high temperature, low temperature, shock due to temperature changes, contamination by liquids, rain, humidity, immersion, sand and dust, freeze/thaw, ice/freezing rain, shock, and vibration.

The Watch Ultra may also be used for severe diving as well as water sports like kitesurfing and wakeboarding. It is accredited to WR100 and EN 13319, which is the accepted standard for dive equipment. Along with the Depth app, a built-in depth gauge displays time, depth, water temperature, time spent underwater, and the deepest depth achieved.
