If you\u2019re interested in a long-lasting smartwatch, and like to stay within Apple\u2019s hardware ecosystem, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the best choice. It\u2019s Apple\u2019s most durable, longest-lasting smartwatch, and it\u2019s currently on sale for $649.99 ($150 off), an all-time low price at Amazon<\/a> and Best Buy<\/a>. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 comes in a single case size (49mm), material (titanium), and configuration (GPS + Cellular), so the only choice you have to make is which band best fits your style.<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch Ultra 2\u2019s battery lasted roughly two and a half days in our tests<\/a>, and Apple says you can get up to 72 hours with low power mode enabled. If you have the right accessories, you can charge the Apple Watch Ultra 2 from zero to 80 percent in under an hour. The smartwatch\u2019s S9 SiP processor is powerful enough to handle on-device Siri queries, and enables the double tap gesture<\/a>, which allows you to scroll or interact with buttons on its display by tapping your fingers instead of the screen. Apple introduced the S10 SiP with the Apple Watch Series 10 last year<\/a>, but the Apple Watch Ultra 2\u2019s processor is still plenty powerful.<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 supports several health and wellness features, including sleep apnea detection, fall detection, crash detection, sleep tracking, and heart tracking. The watch will send you a notification if it detects atrial fibrillation, and allows you to take an EKG (electrocardiogram) on device. Apple recently re-enabled<\/a> the Apple Watch\u2019s ability to monitor your blood oxygen level, though you\u2019ll need to review the readings within your iPhone\u2019s health app. When you exercise, you can select from a list of dozens of workout types<\/a> to accurately log your fitness routine.<\/p>\n

Apple has traditionally announced Apple Watch hardware updates at its iPhone event typically held in September, and rumors suggest<\/a> the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will have a larger display, but the Ultra 2 is an excellent choice at its sale price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re interested in a long-lasting smartwatch, and like to stay within Apple\u2019s hardware ecosystem, the Apple Watch…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[1337,64,63,1096,213,19587,220,59529,1996,105,221],"class_list":{"0":"post-77779","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-deals","12":"tag-gadgets","13":"tag-smart-home","14":"tag-smartwatch","15":"tag-speakers","16":"tag-tech","17":"tag-technology","18":"tag-wearable"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
