Apple debuted the Apple Watch Ultra 2 ($799, £799, AU$1,399) at the company’s iPhone 15 event in Sept. 2023. The rugged new watch replaces last year’s Apple Watch Ultra.
While the new Ultra looks similar to the original, there are a number of improvements inside the watch that are worth noting. The Ultra 2 has a 3,000-nit screen, which should be noticeably brighter than the original Ultra’s 2,000-nit display. The Ultra 2 also includes the new Double Tap gesture, which lets you activate certain controls by tapping your thumb and index finger together without touching the watch’s screen.
