Apple unveiled its latest smartwatch, the Apple Watch Ultra, on Sept. 7. The device is intended for adventurers, athletes, and those who are constantly exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. This is the company's first attempt at rugged Apple Watches.
Ultra Is Apple's Toughest Smartwatch
This big boy is unquestionably designed for those with the most extraordinary lifestyles and routines. It has a 49 mm titanium case designed to withstand unexpected shocks and extreme environments.
Apple makes the Ultra water and dust-proof, just like some of its previous smartwatches. It is even tested to pass MIL-STD 810H, which is the parameter for the impacts of tough environmental factors.
