The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is highly capable smartwatch when it comes to communication, productivity, activity, and safety. Some of the biggest selling points for me is that the battery life can last about two full days, the 3,000-nit display is a breeze to see in sunny conditions, and the 86-decibel safety siren offers major peace of mind.

The embiggening of the Apple Watch is nothing new. The original Apple Watch measured 38mm and 42mm. The Series 4 bumped that up to 40mm and 44mm. The Series 7 made it 41mm and 45mm. Today, the Series 10 measures 42mm and 46mm. Normally, I rail against the trend toward larger watches, but the Series 10’s display is worth every millimeter.

In the release announcing its Watch Series 10’s availability, Apple refers to the device’s “refined” design. It’s an accurate word for the device overall.
