CTOnews.com Sept. 21, Apple Apple Watch Ultra will be delivered to customers and launched in retail stores on Friday, September 23, priced at 6299 yuan. Prior to this, the ban on Apple Watch Ultra testing has been lifted.

CTOnews.com learned that the Apple Watch Ultra was inspired by the "most extreme activities" such as hiking and scuba diving, featuring a rugged design, a 49mm titanium case and a flat sapphire crystal mirror, a larger display, a new outdoor strap, waterproof up to 100m depth, a customizable bright orange operation button, 60 hours of battery life and the upcoming low power mode, dual-band GPS support.

Here is a summary of the evaluation of Apple Watch Ultra:

The Verge's Victoria Song shared her general impression:

"Apple Watch Ultra is large, slightly bulky, and pays great attention to functions that ordinary users don't need in their daily life. It sells for $799, making it the most expensive watch in the current Apple Watch line (excluding the Hermes version). After a week of testing, I don't think it will affect the Garmin, Polar or Coros watches used by Triathlon, hikers or deep-sea divers, at least not yet. But for junior and mid-level athletes, it's really a good thing-it's very tempting for people who want this and many people who just want a bigger Apple Watch. "

Victoria Song said that during the week she tested the Apple Watch Ultra, she "often exceeded" the 36 hours of battery life advertised by the device in standard mode:

Last weekend, I charged the Apple Watch Ultra to 100%. Then I walked for 2 hours and 15 minutes, made extensive use of the compass and GPS, and tracked my sleep that night. I woke up the next morning with 50% power left.

The other day, I did a 30-minute GPS run and another 20-minute boating exercise. I also made a short phone call on my watch and ended the day with 84% power.

-our editor-in-chief Nilay,Apple Watch Ultra can use 56 hours on a single charge, leaving 14% left. He spends most of his time at home, so he doesn't use cellular data or GPS. If you just wear it during the break or are not interested in the Apple Watch Ultra fitness function, you will find that it lasts longer. "

CNET's Lexy Savvides talked about the pricing of Apple Watch Series 8 and Garmin smartwatches:

Considering that the price is almost as high as the $749 45mm stainless steel Apple Watch Series 8, I think the overall value of the Apple Watch Ultra is higher because you can get additional hardware features, such as operation buttons (I like it), emergency alarms and extra microphones to improve call quality.

Its price is also competitive with other sports watches with similar titanium structures and OLED screens, such as the $999 Garmin Epix 2. Apple Watch Ultra's battery life is not long, and its navigation function is far inferior to that of Epix 2. But it is easier to use, with heart functions such as ECG (ECG or EKG) applications, cellular connectivity, and seamless integration with iPhone.

If you want a real hybrid smartwatch and sports watch, then the Apple Watch Ultra is the best choice. "

Savvides pointed out that Apple Watch Ultra could not download offline maps:

"compared with other sports and outdoor watches, I also found a drawback on Ultra-when I was away from the cellular signal, I couldn't download an offline map on my watch or had a topographic map option without downloading a third-party app."

The Wall Street Journal's Nicole Nguyen says Apple Watch Ultra is "exciting" but "not a Garmin killer" because it lacks functions such as recovery indicators:

"so, should you buy an Ultra? this is an exciting update for current Apple Watch users who need more (especially battery life). But this is not a Garmin killer. In addition to navigation, Garmin watches also support other functions that are important to regular athletes that are missing in Apple Watch, such as the ability to restore indicators and broadcast heart rate to fitness equipment via Bluetooth."

CNBC's Sofia Pitt says Apple Watch Ultra's larger speakers are eye-catching:

"in addition to the bigger battery, I really appreciate the bigger speakers on the Ultra. According to Apple, the watch has two speakers that work together, which makes the Apple Watch Ultra 40% louder than the Apple Watch Series 8.

I often answer the phone with my watch, especially when I'm cooking. I can hear the difference when using Apple Watch Ultra compared to my Apple Watch Series 7. Although this feature is really designed to be louder in the extreme conditions of the outdoor type, I also appreciate its regular use. "

TechRadar's Gareth Beavis appreciates the new action button on Apple Watch Ultra, but wants it to be more customizable:

"one of the things we really like is to use buttons to make it easier to pause exercise-before you swipe the screen (with sweat or wet hands) or press the side button and the digital crown at the same time. This might be a little troublesome.

Now, you can customize it so that you can start exercising using the action button. Then press it with the button on the other side of the Apple Watch Ultra to pause. This is a simple and effective natural action.

If the action button is more customizable, we will like it better: you can only set it to turn on exercise, start scuba diving, turn on [flashlight], start the stopwatch or use the compass function-you can also use it to start shortcuts (using a predefined set of actions for apps on iPhone or Watch), but they are also very limited because they can be richer. "

Men's Journal's Michael Frank says the Apple Watch Ultra's brighter display has a brightness of up to 2000 nits, making the message easier to read:

"when using Apple's Workout app, the larger, brighter screen can display six lines of data instead of five. But the real key here is readability. No matter which app you use or the dial you choose, whether it's looking at incoming text or trying to parse 5K mile segment time, a strong display is easier to read instantly."

Men's Health's Brett Williams statement about wearing Apple Watch Ultra:

"sometimes I wear a standard Apple Watch and want it to be more attractive. I actually prefer this feeling-it brings me back to wearing a classic watch made of high-quality material, designed to accomplish some tasks (at most) and do it well. At the same time, the Apple Watch Ultra doesn't feel too heavy; when I lift weights or run with it, I don't feel like I'm struggling with extra resistance. In other words, the Apple Watch Ultra may not be suitable for people with small wrists, but it's just right for me. "
