The Watch We've Been Waiting For
HWM Singapore|October 2022
The new Apple Watch Ultra is a super-powered Apple Watch for users who have been craving for more of what the vanilla Apple Watch couldn't provide. However, with established brands like Garmin, Suunto and Polar dominating extreme sports wearables, how does it feel to wear and use the Watch Ultra? The casing is now crafted out of titanium, which was last used in the older Apple Watch Edition. The metal mould around the outside of the watch and the big bulge on its right side are not unsightly at all. The photos you see online and from Apple's marketing videos don't do it justice.

However, I do think the Ultra is the design revamp that Apple Watch fans have been craving for. The bulkier 49mm casing has rounded edges with the bezel slightly raised to protect the display better. The aforementioned bulge on the right side helps guard the newly-designed Digital Crown so that it cannot be knocked off. It also has more ridges for a more tactile approach, and the side button is also raised so that it can be easily activated even when you're wearing gloves.

There's a new customisable Action Button on the left side that allows you to quickly start workouts or leave a waypoint on the redesigned Compass app.
