Watch Ultra

This A2622 Apple Watch Ultra is the North American model for the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. As Apple's first watch for endurance sports, it is certified to MIL-STD-810H and EN13319 (dive-capable). All Ultra models have cellular capability but require an iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16+ for some features. It is operated via a Digital Crown, a touch display, and two physical buttons, one of which is a distinctive orange "Action" button. The device has 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 rated for up to 36 hours, or 60 hours in Low Power Mode.

The North American Apple Watch Ultra was celebrated as a breakthrough achievement that established Apple as a serious competitor in the rugged sports watch market, delivering professional-grade adventure capabilities while maintaining the intuitive user experience that defined Apple's approach to wearable technology. The unprecedented battery life was consistently praised by endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts who found that the device could genuinely support multi-day activities without the constant charging concerns that plagued previous Apple Watch models. The innovative Action button was highlighted as a thoughtful design element that provided instant access to essential functions during challenging activities, though some users noted an adjustment period to avoid accidental activation. The titanium construction and military-standard durability certification gave users confidence to push the device to its limits in extreme environments, while the exceptional 2000-nit display remained perfectly readable in bright outdoor conditions that would render other smartwatches unusable.
