Apple Watch Ultra 2 gets a new Satin Black finish

Apple refreshed the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at today’s “It’s Glowtime” event , and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 was a no-show .

Most of us expected Apple to introduce the next generation of its premium smartwatch. However, we only got an Apple Watch Ultra 2 refresh in a new “Satin Black” color.

While we are definitely disappointed, the new color looks way too good.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Satin Black looks alluring

The original Apple Watch Ultra was introduced back in 2022 and was positioned as a rugged model for adventure athletes.

However, the larger screen and bigger battery made it the most attractive option for Apple Watch fanatics.

A year later, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 came out with a slightly faster chip, a brighter display, and improved ultra-wideband tech. However, the design remained unchanged.

Unfortunately, this year, we get nothing. The highlight of this year’s Apple event in terms of smartwatches is the Apple Watch Series 10 , which was launched in a new, larger avatar. Apple may have thought only a handful of people would pay the extra premium for the new Ultra model.

However, the new black titanium is a good addition to maintain interest in the lineup.

Apple also mentioned that the new finish is designed to be scratch-resistant. However, how it turns out in the real world remains to be seen.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 Satin Black starts at the same $799 and comes with a few new bands, including a new titanium Milanese band and a Hermés band.
