I got hands-on with the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and my first impression is that Siri finally feels intelligent.
You can tell the Apple Watch Ultra 2 has changed… on the inside.
On Friday, Apple officially released the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro, Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, and AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C. While the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are certainly getting the most fanfare when it comes to new Apple products — and you can read my first impressions of the iPhone 15 Pro already — I also received the company’s second generation of the Apple Watch Ultra on launch day.
There’s one thing I noticed immediately about the Apple Watch Ultra 2 compared to the first generation: It looks exactly the same. If you had to, you couldn’t pick out the first vs. the second generation if your life depended on it. The only way I can personally tell the difference between the two is how clean the new one is compared to the slight imperfections on my first generation.
One obvious difference, of course, is that the second-generation Apple Watch Ultra came with some new band choices.
