Watch Ultra

This A2859 Apple Watch Ultra is for mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. As Apple's first endurance watch, it is certified to MIL-STD-810H and EN13319 (dive-capable). All Apple Watch Ultra models are cellular-equipped, but require an iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16+ for some functions. The device is controlled by a Digital Crown, a touch display, and two physical buttons, including an orange "Action" button. It features a 49 mm titanium case, a 410x502 "Always-On Retina" LTPO OLED display with sapphire crystal, and a ceramic/sapphire crystal back. Battery life is up to 36 hours, extendable to 60 hours in Low Power Mode.

The original Apple Watch Ultra for China, Hong Kong, and Macau was universally praised as Apple's revolutionary first foray into rugged adventure watches, successfully delivering military-grade durability and endurance capabilities that fundamentally changed perceptions of what an Apple Watch could achieve. The groundbreaking 36-hour battery life was consistently highlighted as a game-changing improvement that eliminated daily charging anxiety and enabled genuine multi-day adventures, with the 60-hour low power mode providing unprecedented autonomy for extended outdoor activities. The massive 49mm titanium case, while initially imposing to some users, was widely appreciated for its robust construction that could withstand extreme conditions while housing the brightest and most readable display Apple had ever created. The dual-frequency GPS was particularly valued for delivering exceptional accuracy in challenging environments, making it a genuine competitor to established outdoor sports watch brands while maintaining all the sophisticated smartwatch capabilities that defined the Apple ecosystem.
