Now that Apple has announced its September event, should you buy an Apple Watch Ultra now or wait for the Apple Watch Ultra 2? We're here to help.
Apple has officially announced its September event, where we certainly can expect an iPhone 15 lineup. Not only are we going to have new iPhones, but we are going to get the new Apple Watch Series 9 — and maybe even the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
From the rumors that are floating around so far, it doesn’t seem like the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is going to have many design changes compared to the current model. Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs. Apple Watch Ultra: specs The current Apple Watch Ultra uses an S8 chip, just like with the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 2. It’s quite fast and snappy in terms of performance and has no problem keeping up with whatever you want to throw at it.
Since it’s designed for more extreme outdoor activity, the Apple Watch Ultra also has an IP6X dust resistance rating, is water resistant up to 100 meters, and is swimproof — allowing you to dive recreationally up to 40 meters with EN13319 certification. There is also a depth gauge with a water temperature sensor, and you can get the Oceanic+ app to use it as a full-on dive computer.
Right now, the Apple Watch Ultra has 24/7 continuous heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, an ECG app, high and low heart rate notifications, irregular rhythm notifications , and cardio fitness notifications. And like the Series 8, there is also a temperature sensor, which is especially helpful for cycle tracking thanks to ovulation estimates.
We should expect the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to have similar battery life, if not better with the S9 chip. Since the S9 could bring faster performance and improved power efficiency, it wouldn’t be out of reach for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to get up to 40 hours of battery life between charges. This is speculation, of course, but it could be a possibility with a new chip.
