There's no telling the Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs Apple Watch Ultra apart at a glance. The device retains the same flat 49mm display, protruding right-side button array, and orange Action button on the left. It's a one-size-fits-all approach that may continue to deter those with smaller wrists. The screen is brighter, up to 3,000 nits from 2,000 nits. In direct sunlight, the improvement is subtle, but it is clearer than the Apple Watch Series 9. This will be more relevant if you spend a lot of time in bright conditions, otherwise it's a small upgrade. Perhaps the more consequential design change is that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is made of 95% recycled titanium, a major improvement from the virgin material used in the first-gen model. Apple has made a serious commitment to making all its devices carbon neutral by 2030, with the re-sourced Trail Loop and Alpine Loop bands, the Apple Watch Ultra earns its Carbon Neutral certificate.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 9 have a lot in common. Both pack Apple's S9 SiP (System in Package), which promises the first true power upgrade since the Apple Watch Series 6. Apple says it has 5.6 billion transistors, 60% more than the S8, with 30% faster GPU animations and a quad-core Neural Engine with twice the machine learning power.
