Apple Watch Ultra: News And Technical Characteristics

Contents

With the launch of the iPhone 14 last month, Apple has also presented the new models of its flagship products, the Apple Watch Ultra and the 3rd generation AirPods. The presentation of the new smartwatch has focused on the motto: “it’s adventure time” since this model stands out for its hardness and resistance.

In today’s article, we delve into the news and features of the new Apple Watch Ultra, highlighting its most vital points. Keep reading!

Apple Watch Ultra: What we highlight

Following its motto, Apple launched its first model focused on extreme sports and durability, thanks to its design with a more secure fit and a new battery with greater autonomy, among other features. We will tell you in detail.

Main features

First of all, we highlight a more daring and resistant design, thanks to the 49 mm aerospace-grade titanium case and the sapphire front glass, with a Retina screen larger than the rest of the brand’s smartwatches, as well as brighter. The box that collects the screen has a higher profile, protecting it effectively.

A new orange side “Action” button has been added with customizable functions, such as monitoring during sports activities or the function of adding rest points in a route, among others.

Another aspect to highlight in the resistance of this new model is the battery’s autonomy, which to date is the longest of an Apple smartwatch. This lasts 36 hours in normal conditions and 60 hours in low-consumption mode, optimal for multi-day adventure activities.

The new Apple Watch Ultra also stands out for its improved audio, with three integrated microphones, significantly increasing sound quality during calls. In addition, its adaptive beamforming algorithm improves audio clarity thanks to its reduction of background sounds. This new model also has an algorithm that can reduce the sound of the wind.

Other novelties are the straps designed for more extreme conditions, or the high-precision dual-frequency GPS, up to now, the most accurate of Apple.

Smartwatch for emergencies

For the first time in Apple, a clock with double frequency in the GPS is manufactured, which makes it much more powerful, allowing information to be retrieved in any emergency. With this, geolocation becomes an essential function in this device. In addition, this GPS incorporates very useful and precise information for athletes, such as distance, route, and pace data.

Another useful emergency feature of the Apple Watch Ultra is the accelerometer, which measures peaks in gravitational force, making it easier to detect traffic accidents, such as car crashes. When this happens, the smartwatch immediately calls the emergency services. As in previous models, this device has a fall detection function and, as a novelty, it now allows measurements of up to 256 G of force thanks to the dual-core accelerometer sensor.
