Overview

This A2987 Apple Watch Ultra 2 is for mainland China and Hong Kong. A more durable watch for outdoor activities, it is certified to MIL-STD-810H and EN13319 (dive-capable). The Ultra 2 adds a new processor, brighter display, "double tap gesture," expanded altitude range, and improved Siri over the original. This cellular model works online independently but requires an iPhone XS or later with iOS 17+. It has a 49 mm titanium case, a 410x502 "Always-On Retina" LTPO OLED display with up to 3000 nits brightness and sapphire crystal, and an orange "Action" button. Battery life is up to 36 hours (72 in Low Power Mode). The charging cable included with this model does not support fast charging.

Evaluation

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 for China and Hong Kong was acclaimed as the most capable outdoor-focused smartwatch Apple had produced, delivering military-grade durability and exceptional battery life that made it ideal for extended adventures and professional outdoor use. The significantly brighter 3000-nit display was consistently praised for remaining perfectly readable in the harshest sunlight conditions, while the titanium construction provided confidence-inspiring ruggedness without excessive weight. The extended battery life was particularly valued by users who needed reliable performance during multi-day outdoor activities, with many noting that the 72-hour low power mode provided genuine peace of mind for expedition use. The Action button was highlighted as a game-changing feature that allowed quick access to essential functions during activities when traditional touch interaction was impractical.
