Editor's Verdict
Sharing the same 3,000-nit sapphire Retina display, Grade 5 titanium armor, 100m water rating, EN13319 dive computer certification, and precision dual-frequency L1+L5 GPS as its successor, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 remains a titan among rugged smartwatches. Whenever discounted below $699, it offers nearly identical field performance to the Ultra 3 for iPhone users.
