The Apple Watch Ultra sitting on a pile of rocks.
The Apple Watch Ultra is designed with fitness and outdoors enthusiasts in mind.

Make no mistake: The Apple Watch Ultra is geared toward avid outdoors people and endurance athletes. But even if you're not either of those types, there are plenty of reasons you might still want Apple's rugged high-end wearable.

The Ultra stands out from the rest of the Apple Watch lineup for its long battery life, durable titanium casing, unique functions (deep-sea diving, anyone?), large display, and a customizable Action button. After testing it for several weeks, I believe it's everything Apple promised it to be.
