The operation button can immediately start physical training, allowing users to move to the next section of custom physical training, or the next segment of multi-event exercise. This button can also be used to mark segments to improve the running experience of the new track, automatically providing extremely accurate pace and distance estimates for runners training on the track.

The new ▲ Pathfinder dial complements the rugged hardware, incorporates a compass in the time display area, and can be customized for mountains, oceans or runways.

Thanks to a larger, brighter display and rugged design, the Apple Watch Ultra will be an ideal device for adventurers and explorers in a variety of environments, both in daily life and in extreme conditions.

Rotate the digital crown to display another view, including latitude, longitude, altitude and slope information, as well as a directional view that shows the guide point and backtracking function.

The ▲ Apple Watch Ultra's wrist operating temperature ranges from-20 ℃ to 55 ℃, which is sufficient for extreme outdoor exploration environments.

Users can use the "compass point" function to quickly and easily mark locations or important locations in the App. Press the operation button or tap the compass navigation point icon to place the navigation point, and click the icon that appears to edit the navigation point. The compass navigation point is dynamically updated in real time, providing the direction and approximate distance of the destination.

The first mode indicates that someone is in distress, and the second model simulates the worldwide SOS sound mode. For backpack trips that last several days, battery life can be extended to up to 60 hours through low power mode and additional low power settings (including reduced GPS and heart rate readings).

The ▲ Pathfinder dial is designed for Apple Watch Ultra and includes space that can accommodate eight complex functions.

The operating temperature range on the wrist is designed to help users explore the most extreme and remote locations, from cold snow-capped mountains of-20 °C to hot deserts of 55 °C. Apple Watch Ultra has passed the standard certification of MIL-STD 810H related projects. The standard is used to test military equipment and is popular among manufacturers of durable equipment. Test items include low pressure (height), high temperature, low temperature, temperature upheaval, liquid pollution, rainfall, humidity, immersion, dust, freezing / thawing, freezing / freezing rain, shock, tremor and so on. To optimize the night experience, when using the Pathfinder dial, rotating the digital crown turns the interface red, providing better visibility in the dark.

Ocean and water sports enthusiast Apple Watch Ultra is designed for water sports, including extreme sports such as kite surfing and wake water skiing, as well as leisure scuba diving up to 40 meters with the new Oceanic+ App. To support these underwater adventures, Apple Watch Ultra has passed WR100 certification. Apple Watch Ultra has also passed the EN13319 certification, which is an international standard for testing diving instruments such as depth meters and is trusted by leisure diving enthusiasts around the world.

With the new depth meter, Apple Watch Ultra introduced the bathymetric App with an intuitive user interface. Water depth App can display information such as time, current depth, water temperature, underwater duration and maximum depth reached, so that users can see at a glance. The user can set the operation button to quickly start the bathymetric App.

The new Oceanic+ App, which makes the Apple Watch Ultra comparable to a diving computer, is teamed up with Huish Outdoors. The brand is famous for providing innovative and reliable leisure diving equipment. The App will be released on App Store later this fall. It uses the Bulmahn decompression algorithm and includes diving plans, readable diving indicators, visual and vibration reminders, decompression-free limits, ascent rate and safe stay guidance. Oceanic+ also provides personalized user settings, current and local diving status reports and diving logs. Logs can be shared with relatives and friends and automatically synchronized to iPhone.

"We are pleased to work with Apple to combine our world-renowned expertise in scuba diving with Apple Watch Ultra's unique features to turn everyday watches into innovative diving computers," Huish Outdoors CEO Mike Huish said. "through Oceanic+,Apple Watch Ultra users can enjoy a new and rich experience during scuba diving."

After ▲ dives into the water, Apple Watch Ultra automatically opens a new depth App to display information such as time, current depth, water temperature, underwater duration and maximum depth reached.

Other functions Apple Watch Ultra has comprehensive contact, activity and health functions, making Apple Watch popular in global smartwatches, including functions ranging from heart rate monitoring to ECG and blood oxygen App to active circles and mindfulness App, as well as a number of new health, safety and navigation functions.

Apple Watch Ultra has innovative temperature sensing function, which provides a more in-depth interpretation for women's health. The original dual-sensor design reduces the temperature measurement error caused by the external environment and the body itself. With this new feature, users can use the back-push function to estimate ovulation days to help with fertility planning. Temperature sensing can also help users predict menstruation more accurately. With iOS 16 and watchOS 9, users are notified if menstrual history data recorded by App users for menstruation tracking shows possible menstrual deviations (indicating potential health problems).

Using two new motion sensors and advanced sensor fusion algorithms, Apple Watch can detect whether a serious accident has occurred through the car accident detection function. Apple Watch will confirm the status of the user when it detects a major accident. If the user does not respond after a 10-second countdown, the device will make an emergency call. Rescuers will know the location of the user's equipment, and this information will also be shared with emergency contacts.

Apple Watch Ultra and Environmental Apple Watch Ultra are designed to minimize the impact on the environment. It is the first Apple Watch to use recycled gold in the electroplating of multiple printed circuit boards, using 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets and 100% recycled tungsten in tactile engines. Display glass is arsenic-free and Apple Watch Ultra is free of mercury, brominated flame retardant (BFR), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and beryllium. Apple Watch packaging does not use external plastic film, and 98% or more of the packaging materials are fiber-based, bringing Apple closer to the goal of completely removing plastic from the packaging by the end of 2025.

Currently, Apple is carbon neutral in global corporate operations and plans to achieve 100% carbon neutrality for the entire production supply chain and product life cycle by 2030. This means that every Apple device sold, from parts manufacturing, assembly, transportation, user use, charging, to equipment and material recycling, will achieve a net zero climate impact.

Privacy is crucial in the design and development of all Apple functions. When the user locks the phone with a password, touch ID or face ID, all health and exercise data in the health App will be encrypted, except for the information in the medical first aid card. Any healthy App data backed up to iCloud will also be encrypted and protected during transmission or when stored on the Apple server. When the default double authentication is turned on in iOS and watchOS and the password is used, the data synchronized to iCloud by the healthy App is encrypted end-to-end, which means that Apple cannot decrypt and read the data.

Customers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States and more than 40 other countries can order Apple Watch Ultra today. It will go on sale in retail stores from Friday, September 23.

The price of the Apple Watch Ultra is RMB 6299.

As of Monday, September 12, watchOS 9 will be available for download with Apple Watch Series 4 and subsequent models, with iPhone 8 or successor models running iOS 16, or iPhone SE (second generation) or successor models. Some features are only available in some devices, some countries or regions.
