For example, you can (at the time of writing) still take delivery on September 23 if you order the Watch with the Alpine Loop in green, and in the smallest size. Designed specifically for endurance athletes and runners, the Trail Loop band is the thinnest Apple Watch band to date. Swap the green for starlight, and then you’re back to September 23 in any of the three sizes. Molded from a flexible fluoroelastomer, it stretches and utilizes the tubular geometry for a secure fit. With explorers in mind, the Alpine Loop band features two integrated layers made from one continuous weaving process that eliminates the need for stitching. Almost everything matched the leaks prior to the launch:

Apple Watch Ultra Hands-On: Everything You Need to Know (CNET)

Apple's watch lineup has been slowly expanding, much like the iPhone line did. Apple used to only launch one watch a year, but the Apple Watch SE introduced a ...

There are some new apps for the Ultra: A new Oceanic Plus diving app is specifically made for the Watch Ultra that looks at tides and water temperature; it also records dive depths and metrics. The extra cost, however, means it won't be a watch most people opt for. The new Compass app's unique Ultra ability to save waypoints and show walk-back directions without a cellular signal, using only GPS, could be one of the Ultra's biggest draws. The Ultra's biggest new feature, a significantly larger battery, is something the Apple Watch hasn't had since it debuted. Apple used to only launch one watch a year, but the Apple Watch SE introduced a more affordable model to the mix. Who is the Ultra for? Last year, an expected watch redesign never materialized, although Apple did increase the watch screen size. Also, it's by far the biggest Apple Watch of the lineup. The Apple Watch Ultra goes in the opposite direction: It's more expensive, but unlike previous fashion-driven Edition watches, the Ultra is aiming for function... The new design pushes its crown and side button into an extended side part that, alongside the new watch's bigger case and curved-with-flat-display contours, make it seem more James Cameron than any previous Apple Watch. [Apple Watch Series 8](/tech/mobile/apple-watch-8-hands-on-we-take-a-look-at-all-those-new-sensors/) at [Apple's "Far Out" product event](/tech/mobile/from-iphone-14-to-apple-watch-8-everything-apple-revealed-at-far-out/), may be the biggest change we've seen to Apple's watch line-up in years. 23, a week after the Watch Series 8.

The Apple Watch Ultra looks like the ultra-rugged smartwatch we've ... (CNN)

The Apple Watch Ultra is the most rugged and advanced Apple Watch yet, designed for explorers, divers and high-performance athletes.

The watch starts at $799, with a variety of band options that include an [Alpine Loop](https://apple.sjv.io/c/1442537/435031/7613?subId1=0908applewatchultra&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fshop%2Fbuy-watch%2Fapple-watch-ultra%3FpreSelect%3Dfalse%26product%3DMQEW3LL%2FA%26step%3Ddetail) for outdoor adventuring, a [Trail Loop](https://apple.sjv.io/c/1442537/435031/7613?subId1=0908applewatchultra&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fshop%2Fbuy-watch%2Fapple-watch-ultra%3FpreSelect%3Dfalse%26product%3DMQF33LL%2FA%26step%3Ddetail) for endurance athletes and an [Ocean Band](https://apple.sjv.io/c/1442537/435031/7613?subId1=0908applewatchultra&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fshop%2Fbuy-watch%2Fapple-watch-ultra%2F49mm-cellular-titanium-midnight-ocean-band-onesize) for those planning to go underwater. Finally, the Ultra offers three new specialty bands for running, hiking and diving, each with its own characteristics that Apple says were designed for each type of athlete. The GPS in the watch got a boost, too, featuring dual-frequency L1 and L5 bands. The Apple Watch Ultra is crafted from aerospace-grade titanium and features a flat sapphire front crystal screen. Using the new Oceanic+ app — which will be available later this year — the Ultra works like a dive computer. For hikers and outdoors lovers of all levels, the new compass app in watchOS 9 (available on Sept 12) enables precise waypoint tracking as well as bearing marking and can show latitude, longitude, elevation, and incline. I know I’m seriously considering it as a one-device for all, whether I’m diving or not. It’s a rugged, long-lasting beast of a watch, and Apple has packed just about every feature into the gadget, from increased battery life to more precise GPS to a loud siren to signal where you are. And, the crown and side button have been enlarged and raised, so they can be better accessed while wearing gloves. It’s water resistant down to about 330 feet (100m) compared to the Series 8’s 164 feet (50m), IP6X dust resistant, and adds the MIL-STD 810H certification, which means this thing meets the US Department of Defense environmental engineering standards. [Apple Watch Series 8 and SE](https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/electronics/apple-watch-series-8-se-where-to-pre-order), including the new temperature sensors, ovulation estimates, and crash detection, but it adds a screen that is larger (49mm compared to the Series 8’s 45mm) and brighter (2000 nits compared to 1000 nits), as well, new ruggedness standards. As an avid diver, it made sense that a simple, bright display at 100 feet would be far better than the grey-on-grey, hyper-complicated dive computers I’d used.
