It’s Glowtime! Apple has kicked off its biggest event of the year, where it unveils a myriad new devices. Although the tenth anniversary Apple Watch is the star among wearables launching today, the Watch Ultra is getting some attention in the form of a new Satin Black finish without many internal changes. That means, there’s no actual update besides the new finish, but there’s a lot Apple says to vouch for it.
The new satin black Apple Watch Ultra 2 is also made with grade-5 recycled titanium. It comes with a matching new band with intricately woven metal parts.
The Apple Watch Ultra has been surprisingly successful, so much so that it even inspired Samsung to make a similar smartwatch for the outdoorsy. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 had little to differ from the first-gen Watch Ultra, and the models combined became the second-best selling Apple Watch model between September last year and June 2024, despite a ban that blocks out the blood oxygen sensor.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Satin Black starts at $799 and is available starting today.
